FIRST TIME HEARING AEROSMITH "DREAM ON" 

Amazing reaction man!! 🤘

Don't know how I ended up on the "black people react to classic rock" side of RU-vid but i'm never leaving.🤣

I just don't understand how you go through life without even accidentally hearing this?

I can't believe Steven wrote this at 16 years old, he's still rocking past 70 years old too. Amazing.

He recognized the opening from Eminem - Sing For The Moment

Eminem used samples of Dream On for "Sing for the Moment"

I DON'T CARE WHAT COLOR YOU ARE... IF YOU AIN'T FEELIN THIS SONG YOU HAVE NO SOUL

Love how young hip-hop fans can listen, understand and appreciate this stuff.

Anybody else wish they could listen to their favorite song for the first time again? 🙋🏽‍♂️

Fun fact: Steven Tyler wrote this song when he was 16.

watching a hip hop fan enjoy rock does put a smile to my face

"And Kratos cast himself from the highest mountain in all of Greece..."

When you know Steven Tyler's high-pitched vocals are coming up, but he doesn't and when it drops... XD

Am I the only one who really finds it awesome that he is liking this song so much? Lmao

Fun fact: Steven Tyler wrote this song when he was only 17 years old

I'm black I grew up listening to rap in the 90s when I heard this song it gave me chills so deep! Love this song! I told my son to listen to all music every one got a story!

The moment when he realized that Eminem sampled this song is probably the best reaction we never got to see

One of the best lines in rock: “Sing with me, sing for the years, sing for the laughter, sing for the tears, sing with me, just for today, maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away”. There’s a reason these songs stand the test of time & are popular 50+ years later.

Eminem Sing for the moment is where you've heard this song

Loved this in “Sing for the Moment” by Eminem and how Steven Tyler came out at the rock and roll hall of fame to sing it with Em. Legends.

*Me scrolling through RU-vid* RU-vid: want to see a guy in 2019 who’s never heard dream on?

DONT SLEEP ON THEM CLASSIC ROCK SONGS. YOU MIGHT STUMBLE UPON THE GREATEST MUSIC YOUVE EVER HEARD

Shaq: Getting hyped about the switch up on the guitar rifts *PAUSE* Me thinking: Wait til he hears Tyler go up an octave... *Great Reaction*

I love the line, “you have to lose to know how to win”! One of my all time faves. So proud to be a GenXer. We had the BEST music growing up!

Eminem´s "Sing fot the moment" has this beat and the chorus, that´s where you´ve heard it from :)

Eminem sing for the moment. The same chorus. Em paying homage again

Music has no race, has no gender, it’s how it moves and evokes emotion in someone that matters

A lot of people have sampled this including Em. ❤

Run DMC Aerosmith Walk this way It was epic I remember seeing it as a kid

Tell me you were not waiting for his reaction at the scream. TELL ME YOU WERE NOT WAITING.

This is a man who hears the soul of a song and I appreciate that.

I’m not a big Aerosmith fan but Dream On is arguably one of the best rock songs ever written.

You probably heard this from Eminem Sing for the moment, Coach!!!

His face when Tyler hits them high notes 😂😂😂

His face when Steven Tyler hits that high note.... Priceless 😂😂😂😂😂

I don't care if Steven Tyler is a buffoon now, he still wrote some of the most beautiful lyrics that were ever recorded. This song is a masterpiece.

I've seen so many comments here regarding race. Let me begin by saying I'm a 50'ish black man. Do y'all remember music segregation in the music stores? Black artists were soul. White artists were rock, country, easy listening. This forced people to segregate within the store. I'm a member of the Lionel Richie FB group. Talking to another member, a white lady in Pennsylvania, she's hearing many of the hits by the Commodores, EWF, Jacksons, and others for the first time...now...in just the past few years. The first rock album I bought was VH's 1984. First I bought the 45 for Jump. Then Panama. I was about to buy Hot for Teacher but thought "I might as well buy the album" I remember the raised eye brow I got when I took the album to the cashier. The album was amazing. One of my favorite songs is "I'll Wait" Later, when David left the group, I saw on MTV "Live Without a Net". The songs were good, the energy...man! And then came Eddie's solo. What have I been missing?!? I own all of the Van Halen with Sammy CDs plus 1984. I also got into Aerosmith. In an interview regarding Run DMC and Walk This Way, Steven Tyler said he never understood judging people by their color. I had heard Dream On, but I never listened to it. I wasn't as animated as Shaq, but I was just as amazed. This song is deep. Steven Tyler can sang. Not just sing. He can sang. Listen, I can go on about black and white forever. We've all been sheltered by misunderstanding for decades. I can go on and on. If you read this, here's an e-hug :)

I've "known" this song my whole life. But I've never experienced it until I did with you.

There's a reason they've stuck around for FIFTY YEARS. Let that sink in

7:02 Exactly the moment and reaction I was waiting for. Love it!

Aerosmith - Walk this way Ft Run DMC. Lets Git it!

The Eagles - Hotel California is another all-time song if you haven't listened to it yet.

Eminem's song Sing for the moment has the same start and chorus.

This song is 50 years old... Im still rocking this like it's a new track in 2023!!! Love this riff!!! Love the beat... Love the song... love Aerosmith ❤️

"The past is gone" SHAQ: I never thought of it like that

Huh. I've listened to this song hundreds of times. This dude HEARD what Aerosmith was actually saying. Never put thought into the lyrics. My bad. Nice one, buddy.

Hearing Aerosmith being called "classic rock" just makes me feel old AF.

Its honestly funny how many of these rock songs are so freaking DEEP but until you do a breakdown you dont notice, you are too busy rocking out over the great music and voices.

Fun fact: the lead singer of Aerosmith “Steven Tyler” wrote this song when he was 15 years old

I'm sure it's probably been said, but it's familiar because you've heard it on Eminem - Sing for the moment

His face when Steve hit that note 😄 he just froze lol

The vibe you got from this song is on point, and I appreciate people who truly get songs like this. Much respect.

I'm a 53 year old black man..inspired by these rock music reactions I listened to the Rolling Stones Gimme Shelter...I wept.

He said "watch how they switch it up" and everyone else was "no you watch"

Shaq how is it possible u aint ever heard this song, That's tuff!

Was in elementary school when I listened to this for the first time. Hits the same now as it did then. We all have regrets, failures and triumphs. This hits all of them.

You've just experienced one of the greatest song writers of all time. Steven Tyler is one of the GOATs.

Music literally can bring everyone together.

*Steve hits the note* Shaq: this is some serious gourmet shi- o______________o

The moment I pressed « play » I saw a huge pale skin man with a red tattoo jumping from a cliff ?!

My favorite all-time song. There's a sadness to it, but also an anger and tenacity to never give up. A true classic.

Pretty cool being able to see someone hear this for the first time

He said "this song is perfect" hell yeah it is, Aerosmith is top level music

When i was in high school we used to practice to this in gymnastics, cheerleading and we rollerskated to it every Friday and Saturday night from 5:pm to 12:midnight.... Plus my mom used to take this out of my room and listen to it loud (when I say loud, you could hear it from 1 to 2 blocks away from the house) she danced with the broom and mop when she was cleaning the house. Dad used to watch her. There was times I'd walk into the house and mom & dad was dancing... I really miss mom & dad so much listening to this song...

Steven Tyler has one of the best vocal ranges ever !

This is arguably the greatest rock song ever mad

aerosmith: the past is gone no life shaq: o________________o

Glad to see ya still ROCKIN', Bro !!! 😎👍👍

Glad ur still exploring other music shaq keeps stuff fresh

So is anyone gonna enlighten Shaq about the fact that Steven Tyler is one the best rock screamers of all time ? Lmao even to this day he’s got that skill.

You should react to House of The Rising Sun by The Animals, Hotel California by The Eagles, or America Pie by Don McLean, there some instant and very good rock classics that practically made history in the genre of rock in my opinion!

God of War Ragnarok fans will appear here. I presume and i predict.

Am I the only one that found myself bobbing my head with him 😂

Dream ons a good song but you need to check out Sweet Emotion

What makes the genre of "black people react to classic rock" so great is that these guys don't know the songs that were so much part of our lives. Its like getting to hear them for the first time again.

Watching you enjoy this song was the highlight of my week

Piano man- billy Joel. Let us see how that lyric,”they’re sharing a drink called loneliness, but it’s better than drinking alone.” Hits you

I was waiting for your reaction when he hit the scream, I was not disappointed.

Finally some rock and roll, Shaq! I like all your videos but you gotta give us some rock more often.

Sweet Emotion is another classic Aerosmith song you should check out and review.

If you want the Ultimate Aerosmith Jam, you gotta listen and react to Sweet Emotion.

DREAM ON IS ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS OF ALL TIME!!!! Steven Tyler's singing is incredible!

why this on my rec now?

You've opened a rabbit hole,my man. And Aerosmith's is a deep one.

Jesus, his expression when Steven Tyler hits that high note....priceless!!! Dude is all like 🤯

More classic! The Eagles,The Steve Miller Band, Foreigner, Journey 🧡👏🏼🔥🎶

This hits me because every Christmas me and all of my family (like 30 people) will meet up and sing this at my grandmother's house in the neighborhood my parents used to live. The song lingers with me and makes me feel uplifted, especially this past year.

Im sorry. No one can convince me that an educated and grown ass man in 2019 has never heard this song before 😂

Gotta do Aerosmith collab with Run DMC "Walk This Way"

"I've heard this beat before bruh" i'm dying 😂😂

Who is here after the kratos meme ? XD

Bro, i don't watch reaction videos, but this legit put some sunshine in my heart. Keep doin you, brother.

Shaq @6:33 "Hold up aerosmith, you not finna do me like that" 30 seconds later Steven Tyler starts screaming "dream on" Shaq: 😮😳😮 Lmao, good reaction bro 👍

Of course you've heard it.....now do Aerosmith and run dmc walk this way...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bro looks like kratos 😭

No Life Shaq, I had never seen your channel before today but have been binge watching for the past few hours not so much because of the content of your videos but rather just because you seem like such a nice guy, full of the joy of life. You got a strong, positive spirit that I'm sure makes people feel better just being around you or listening to you. It'd be great to kick it with you. May the Good Lord bless and watch over you and your family. We need more people like you. Keep up the good work. -- an old white guy in Taiwan

*This guy lives under a rock and that's why we love him LOL!*

Back in the Saddle, Walk This Way, Janie's got a Gun, Sweet Emotion. Classic Aerosmith You will NOT be disappointed Coach! 🔥

Honestly you might've head this from Eminems version 'sing for the moment'

Shaq can you react to some Red Hot chili peppers GIVE IT AWAY SCAR TISSUE DARK NECESSATIES CALIFORNICATION UNDER THE BRIDGE
