And yes, every second after that sucks a fart right out of my asshole. In fact I would pay real money to see Tyler set on fire and chased down the street by wild dogs. But I don't agree that the horrors inflicted by Aerosmith over the past three decades taint those mighty four years. They have forever squandered the publics faith and trust, but hasn't every band? The first three Police records were pretty cool, now Sting is some kind of suburban anti-christ. The Rolling Stones also come to mind.....jdoubleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15222178442835546102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6591315102167709130.post-89231636586304115732007-04-05T11:54:00.000-04:002007-04-05T11:54:00.000-04:00Aerosmith was always a B-List band at best. They h...Aerosmith was always a B-List band at best. They had a small handful of FM radio hits but they were always overshadowed by The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd...etc. The few hits they had were big ones though. Walk This Way, Dream On, and Sweet Emotion are essential to any school of rock playlist. I really do think that they are great songs but that's about where it ends for the bands talent for song writing.<BR/><BR/>So how the heck did they become so popular? Well, Dude Looks Like a Lady was a catchy and gimmicky song and it went into heavy rotation on MTV alongside a bunch up up and coming "hair" bands. The Run DMC version of Walk This Way didn't hurt either. I think they somehow rode the hair band wave via a kick start from a dug up classic hit. Something for the old Joe Six-Packs of America and something for the Camel Smokin' Jean Jacket High School Kids.<BR/><BR/>Aerosmith quickly became darlings of MTV. All of those(again gimmicky) videos with Alicia Silverstone sold a false idea of youth and rebellion. And it work. The formula was perfected and repeated for years. Which is too bad because I really think they are better than that.<BR/><BR/>Everytime I've ever heard small bits of them playing stripped down traditional Blues it sounds great. Same goes for ZZTop. Why they have to make everything clean and shiny escapes me. Rick Rubin is capable of creating good and simple "let the artist be the artist" production. It worked great for Johnny Cash and even more recently for Neil Diamond. Why not Aerosmith? I have no idea.<BR/><BR/>I think they are so comfortable being a characture of themselves that it really doesn't matter anymore. Same goes for ACDC. For a band to produce more bland records than great ones is kind of sad but it is also amazing that they a can stand the test of time by doing so.<BR/><BR/>Now all of that said, I don't really hate Aerosmith. I've never seen them live in concert...that might definitley effect my opinion of the band. I've heard that they put on a pretty good show. Steven Tyler is everything a rock n roll entertainer should be. And maybe that's it. Maybe they settled on being entertainers and not great musicians. Either way Sweet Emotion is still one of my favorite rock songs and my cassette of Aerosmith's Greatest hits has taken a boom box beating over the years but I won't be running out and buying the next CD or downloading MP3s anytime soon. But if anybody gives me free tickets the next time they come around - I'll go. What the Hell.<BR/><BR/>Now Limp Bizkit and Creed I hate.<BR/><BR/>-Willie Gorillie<BR/><BR/>P.S. I do have to laugh evertime I hear that "Eat The Rich" song. Wouldn't that make them cannibals?Willie Gorilliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03853721615076519460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6591315102167709130.post-75794950223767617042007-02-10T14:34:00.000-05:002007-02-10T14:34:00.000-05:00That's an interesting dilemma.

I think you might need to smoke more weed, and listen to those dodgy "Draw the Line" and "Night in the Ruts" records to even consider transitioning into any of the 1990s and beyond Aerosmith Records.Greg Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12846119003055532672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6591315102167709130.post-38699995200880236052007-02-09T09:10:00.000-05:002007-02-09T09:10:00.000-05:00I was a huge Aerosmith fan back in the 70's.

I used to do bong hits and listen to the albums over and over.<BR/>Now that I look back I wonder: does the current Aerosmith really suck that hard, or do I just need to smoke more weed?Unclehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00042134528736269184noreply@blogger.com
