Aerosmith C/D?

yeah but i grew up w/ best-ofs in the house so i haven't gotten around to hearing the actual LPs

sorry to hear that tyler did the bottle hurt

totally. luckily the drummer from aerosmith had my back.

this post from sund4r was OTM:

The 70s stuff, from what I know of it (Greatest Hits and Toys In the Attic + any remaining singles), is great. His voice was fantastic then. It's really tragic what happened to it. It's almost hard to believe he's the same man who sang "Dream On". The song "Toys In the Attic" is great - has this urgent but almost kind of spooky feel. "Walk This Way" actually did something new with the Stooges sound. Agree about "Back In the Saddle" too, also like "Draw the Line". I also like "Rag Doll" and if I'm in a mood to deal with it, "Angel". After that, they truly became one of the worst bands of all time. Nothing can justify "Janie's Got a Gun" or the "Crying"/"Crazy"/"Amazing" trilogy.

"Revolution X" is a real hoot, I highly recommend getting MAME and emulating the arcade version. At one point Steven Tyler appears on TV and throws you the keys to his car THROUGH THE SCREEN. Not to mention Joe Perry flying over the moon on a rocket-powered guitar.

weird stuff going on at aerosmith.com -- they've been hacked! by some band?

Look. This was not easy for us to do. Okay, technically, it wasn't too tough. That's not what we mean. It was a tough decision to make as a BAND because we know we're causing you some headaches right now, and we love you guys. But what is an unknown band supposed to do today? How is a band supposed to get noticed?

Do you guys remember what it is like? We hope so. Its hard, and it sucks sometimes, the things you have to do. We fought about doing this. But we're a band, so that just how it goes. You fight it out, every little decision. What you know you're gonna play. When you're gonna play. What you're gonna eat, even when there is no money. Do you remember all the shit that goes on in a band? So we took a vote. We're like a little fucking democracy. We have to be. We're all we've got.

Look we just needed some attention here, that's all. All we wanna do is play & Get our foot in the door. We don't know the business. Yeah, this might suck doing this to you but we kept telling ourselves, if we didn't think Aerosmith would love us, we wouldn't do this. That's the thing. You'll freaking love us. You have to. We're kind of like you. But we're a little scared and a little freaked out and nobody really gets us and our parents are pissed and worried and we cant find a place to play... and we're hungry most of the time but none of that shit really matters cause when we get together and play everything gets better. The world is different. There's light. We all of a sudden get why we are here. It's only when we unplug that things suck. (so we stay plugged in as much as possible.)

So would ya give us a shot? Do you remember being like this? Waiting for your wings? Cramped in a little apartment, living like animals? You did that too. We are doing what we can to survive. We don't wanna beg borrow or steal. But it's getting to that point. We're not just some band. We are GOOD. We fucking rock.

Look, you're gonna love us – we mean that. We don't know what else what to do - we love the blues, we love the Stones we love the Beatles - we're old school. We know you've got a new record coming out. We want that feeling. We want to have a record coming out. "A New Record" how fucking cool is that? And we will. Maybe because of how you might react to us. But we don't know. This is just our shot to get your attention, do we have your attention?

Listen. promise to meet us, hear us, see us, we will expose ourselves to you and the world, have us arrested if you want to, we don't care about that – just hear us. Just give us when and wgere with 2 days notice and we'll be there.

This is our life..... the music, the pain, the love and the death and blood and the sweat - this is rock and roll - this is our fucking life - do you remember? Do you get us? Can you help us? Just a little bit? Sorry for this hassle - we do love you - always know that

RT @joeykramer: Not sure. @LegendaryChild_: @IamStevenT @THaerosmith @joeykramer @JoePerry wtf is goin' on with the Aerosmith website?

this should be interesting!

i enjoy that the members of aerosmith are working this out via twitter.

Old dudes are really stretching for viral marketing ideas aren't they. I almost bought it until that tweet, kinda pushed it over the edge, what with the new album out on Tuesday and all.

Allston ROCKS
Aerosmith Announce Location For Monday's Show - 1325 Commonwealth Avenue In Allston
The band, actually from New Hampshire, moved to Boston in the early 70’s and lived together in an apartment at 1325 Commonwealth Avenue for a few years until they were signed by Columbia records.

That is kind of awesome.

they should just do a world tour of shitty apartment buildings. there's yr viral marketing!

livestream of them right now http://bostinno.com/2012/11/05/livestream-aerosmith-concert-boston/#ss__254582_1_0__ss

apparently they've so far only played songs from the first record; they sound kinda great

welp they ruined that with a new song but now it's fucking "back in the saddle"

Infinite Jest memories made me read "Allston rocks" as "Allston rules"

No mention of / love for Rock In A Hard Place? I know, neither Perry nor Whitford are on it and it's kind of anomalous, but Lightnin' Strikes is a standout on a pretty strong album. Whatever happened to Jimmy Crespo?

The original run of 'Smith albums are all classic, right up to and including Night In The Ruts, and Rocks is one of the all-time great headphone albums by anyone ever. Of the latter-day albums I can only stomach the first two, Done With Mirrors and Permanent Vacation. Pump and everything since is horrible and I wish they'd stop already. Get Your Wings is awesome for three reasons: one, the production style is unique among their records (there's an openness and a clarity that was lost beginning with the dense production style of Attic); two, Seasons Of Wither; and three, the original "batwing" logo.

Joe Perry's 2nd solo effort, I've Got The Rock And Rolls Again, is killer too. I actually prefer his version of Let The Music Do The Talking.

Tyler is (used to be) one of the great rock vocalists who can't actually sing very well. Sorta like David Lee Roth. It's all about attitude, humour, and delivery with those guys.

I've Got the Rock'n'Rolls Again is worthy of The worst Rolling Stones solo album title

Granted it's a dumb-ass album title, but it's a good listen.

Aerosmith and it's members have made some questionable career moves in the past decade, but this freaking moustache on Joe Perry has to be the nadir of their whole career. He's look better with a Hitler stache.

A Collection Of Pictures Where Steven Tyler Looks Like An Old Lesbian

Underrated Aerosmith photos I cringed at looking at.

Joe Perry is trolling the world so hard in that pic

got an email yesterday:
STEVEN TYLER’S ENTERTAINMENT ATTORNEY DINA LAPOLT WINS A SIGNIFICANT VICTORY IN LAWSUIT FILED BY HIS EX-MANAGER
congrats

He's look better with a Hitler stache.

It's kind of an implied Hitler 'stache, really.

It's a reverse Hitler stash, like a photo negative, because he wants to make a statement that he is anti-Hitler.

STEVEN TYLER has gone from breaking the law, to making the law with his new proposed Senate bill.

Hawaii Senate Bill 465, also known as the Steven Tyler Act, would create a civil cause of action for “constructive invasion of privacy” in the state of Hawaii. Tyler initiated--and is a proponent and vocal supporter of--the bill and will appear with fellow Hawaii resident Mick Fleetwood on Friday, February 8 as the bill is presented in a Senate hearing at the State Capitol in Honolulu, Hawaii. At this writing, the bill is being endorsed by 2/3 of the Senate.

The proposed bill (SB465) was modeled after the California Civil Code Section 1708.8, which was adopted by the California state legislature in 1998. SB465 would add a cause of action for constructive invasion of privacy in addition to the current cause of action for physical invasion of privacy in Hawaii. In the simplest terms, the proposed bill would provide a legal remedy for celebrities photographed while they are engaged in “personal or familial activity” and have a reasonable expectation of privacy. This new law would go beyond the more traditional invasion of privacy, which generally requires a physical trespass, by imposing liability on people who use zoom telephonic lenses or other high tech audio devices to capture images or audio of public figures as they are in their homes, or other private places, and then turn around and sell those images or audio files.

The ideals of the proposed bill, SB465, are already enshrined in the constitution of the State of Hawaii. Article 1, Section 6 grants the people the right of privacy, not to be infringed without a “compelling state interest.” Article 1, Section 7 goes further stating the “right of the people to be secure in their persons…against invasions of privacy shall not be violated.”

“The paradise of Hawaii is a magnet for celebrities who just want a peaceful vacation,” TYLER says. “As a person in the public eye, I know the paparazzi are there and we have to accept that. But when they intrude into our private space, disregard our safety and the safety of others, that crosses a serious line that shouldn't be ignored.”

I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder

This is one of those threads I open expecting either the band to have broken up or someone to have died.

xp: and This Love by Pantera sounds a lot more like the Seasons of Wither intro than Say Hello 2 Heaven does.

For some reason I spent a whole workday listening to all the post-1980 Aerosmith albums and came up with this playlist:

Old & Horny: Post-1980 Aerosmith Deep Cuts

https://open.spotify.com/user/matthelgeson/playlist/0H6qzU5E0Sg6g1WWytVKna

Thanks for your sacrifice. That couldn't have been easy

thanks...it was rough sledding at times

man "Get a Grip" really blows

also now that Tyler's gone country you can really see that telegraphed in the later albums

also man tyler kicks out some o_O couplets:

livin', lovin', gettin' loose
masturbatin' with a noose
now someone's kickin' out the chair

The buzz that you be gettin' from the crack don't last
I'd rather be O.D.in' on the crack of her ass
