My first concert at 14. I came over from Ireland to stay with an American foster family in Syracuse..it was a blast..he did a back flip then too. Ears rang for days.
When I worked at LAX airport. The band had just flew in on a red eye flight and looked pretty much beat. I was closing my last store which was a Jamba Juice and they looked really bummed out. I told Steve and others too sit down and I hooked them up with some smoothies. I added some extra of the boost powder to their drinks and then we're ready to go home but Tyler was the coolest of the many celebs I have met at the airport. Took picture with him and band members and he gave me his personal phone number . When the band came back to LA for a gig. Tyler was a man of his word and I got to go back stage with a friend of mine. It was a experience never to forget. Tyler was clean from the cocaine but the stories I was told almost made Ozzy look like a choir boy. Then came Motley Crue.
I turned 60 in April of 2024 n have seen Aerosmith 61 times in concert n would’ve been 62 in January of this year in Cincy but they canceled the tour due too Stevens throat, These guy’s are n were a huge part of me growing up in Cincinnati n following them all over the Midwest as a teenager
I would follow them around the Midwest with my best friend Jack n we slept in my 67 Chevy Malibu for months n got noticed one night by Joe Perry n he gave me a chain off his neck that had a stainless steel guitar pick and I’ve still got it today
Cincinnati here (Mason), I saw them when Guns N Roses opened up for them, RIGHT before “Patience” became a hit, and when Dokken opened up for them at the Gardens. I think. I know I saw them indoors, I could be mistaking one memory for another, though. Maybe it wasn’t Dokken? But yeah, cool Short. I never had anything to realize their awareness of that Toxic Twins label, their attitude about their comeback, or the drug-use and money-they-made related comments. I’m 53. Cool to see someone else nearby on here. I heard the news about his throat on WGRR about a week ago or so. Kinda sad, really. I mean Joe uses the punch card analogy for drinking, but what about the punch card for Steven’s screaming on Dream On for God knows how many times spanning practically 5 decades? It is kinda sad, but I’m fairly ok with it. We all have a lot to be grateful for. Imagine how much we would have missed out on if either one or anyone else in the band had died from overdose? I might hafta listen to my “FAV Aerosmith” playlist on my RUclips channel.
My first concert... Philadelphia Spectrum Aerosmith and Ted Nugent. Great show... extremely LOUD! I then seen Aerosmith a few times after that, and they were always good...never disappointed.
@@JeffEmerson-k3z I wonder if there is a professional recording from that show, or if you can piece together audio from other shows and edit it in there It would be one heckuva project though
I have been to hundreds of concerts.. but in 76 Aerosmith played the selland arena and that was no doubt THEE rock & roll show of my life!! Joe perry is called one of the greats.. that doesn’t cover it.. he needs his own category.. on that night I am convinced he was THEE best r&r guitarist period!!!
Who here saw there very first concert I am talking the old Salem Theater in Salem Mass? I played with these guys to many times to count. Lets just say, great memories once we all most died together at the old Harbor House on the Lynnway in Lynn Massachusetts. Free concert gone horrible fans tore it apart and all I remember is Joe and Steve and my band behind them crawling to kitchen back dressing rooms for safty. What a frigging trip.
I have a friend who went ot Boston U in the late 70s-early 80s. One night, she and some friends were at a small club; and the doors were closed. Then Aerosmith came on stage.
I saw my boys in '82 (without Joe Perry and Brad Whitford on the rock and a hard place tour when they had Jimmy Crespo and Rick Dufay), '84 (Back In The Saddle tour at the Greek Theater in LA), and '90 (Pump tour Cow Palace San Francisco).
Aerosmith was my first concert too.all I remember is standing in the freezing cold to buy the tickets at the Capitol theater in Passaic,NJ.of the actual concert I have no memory.To us just going to the show was a thing:hanging out, getting wasted in the parking lot,meeting new people,etc.
First concert, Halloween 1987. Had seats somewhere way back on the floor. Then my friend somehow got us upgraded to FRONT ROW. YES, Unforgettable. They had a bunch of people in costumes come out with them for the encore, and everybody on stage smashed the decorative Jack-o-lanterns. I only remember one costumed person it was dressed as the McDonald's "Moonlight piano" guy. I don't know how many people remember those commercials. He had a silvery crescent moon for a head with classic ray ban😎 sunglasses on, and I think he wore a tuxedo, maybe a dark suit and played piano (not for Aerosmith though. In the commercial). I know those 70's shows for Aerosmith that sucked I've seen them on video. They've admitted that there were some real "S*** Shows" in the late 70's. Anyway, I was lucky enough to see a KILLER SHOW... tight, & heavy, Joey Kramer was in gear. The band knocked it out of the park. Got a Joey Kramer drum stick. It was their 2nd night in a row in Providence. Dokken opened up. Got a George Lynch pick TOO.
I remember when they were in Providence in 87 I wanted to see Dokken, Lynch my fave guitarist. I started new job and couldn't, in retrospect I should have went.
it's always the case with 2 creative people working together, I played with a guy for many years were grew up in the same neighborhood went to the same schools. Liked the same types of music. Unfortunately he drank a lot, he was an alcoholic, he battled it most of his life. Being in music playing in a large college campus town I played most of my life in the bars on the strip, and there's not a lot of us left. And it most all of it was from alcohol. I've done it all, tried it all...I don't have an addictive personality, I even quit cigs on day one, which I started 9 years earlier and only quit because they stopped allowing people to smoke in bars....and I only smoked cigs in bars because i really would have wanted to smoke weed instead but ya couldn't so i smoked cigs, the good brands like Davidoff, English Ovals, Rothchilds..etc. non-filter. But when they made it a law you can't smoke in public places I thought, "screw it"...that was the end of that< I don't mind a good cigar, regardless I stopped doing the heavy drugs and alcohol...most of my musician friends didn't and have been dropping like flies as we are in our mid 60's...and some didn't even make it that far. But Alcohol has been the main killer of the people I knew in the music business.
All of those rock stars are still alive.. Steven Tyler Joe Perry OZZY Mick Jagger Keith Richards I'm starting to think that brugs ain't as dangerous as they say they are..
People forget that most rockstars were not the best people. It’s funny how people who didn’t grow up in the 70s and 80s are unaware of the “legends” they think they know.
How’s your legendary band doing? Oh, you don’t have one? Then you must know what it’s like to survive in the music industry, because you speak with such self assurance.
Many Rockstars have their career crash and burn about the time they’re putting millions up their nose In some ways that’s what saves their lives, . They don’t have the money coming to do it anymore. Almost happened to these guys on several occasions where the band was just over because extracurricular activities had consumed their lives.
🤔..Ya Steven & Joe did a lot.. But not on a level like Co-founder and drummer "Mick" Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac..Mick said he did an 8-ball of cocaine every day for 20 years 😮If you do the math it would be over 25 kilos🤯
They are honest about it. Coke makes you live each day crazy. Got his roadies to trap a girl and burn the apartment down, to get rid of her and her pregnancy. If you were him, you'd do the same exact thing, and I'm not making much of a joke.
@@TingTingalingy Look it up dude, the story is all over RUclips, the teenager he adopted or something, it's been a while since I heard the story of trying to kill the groupie or 4.
Also, half of Peru went up his nose. Tyler just says stuff. Like trump. But Tyler will never run for potatus, so it won't be used against him in court.
For long-form content, check out @RockNewsDesk
The honesty is refreshing
Honestly the baddest hard rock duo ever to walk this way. ❤
I seen them in the 80s and Steven did a back flip across the stage and went on to sing his fkn heart out. One of the best concerts I've ever seen.
My first concert at 14. I came over from Ireland to stay with an American foster family in Syracuse..it was a blast..he did a back flip then too. Ears rang for days.

I would think way earlier, more like late 70s… I’m not even aware of Ted Nugent doing shows in the 90s.

I remember seeing this interview when it came out❤
Great Interview! 😎👍✌️
Stephen Tyler is one of the greatest rock singers that ever lived
I was at that show. My first concert ever was Kiss at the Spectrum with Bob Seeger opening. Crazy combo. Night moves became huge.
Seger rocks Kiss sucks

deux gars super des amis des frères j'adore le sourire de Steven Tyler personne ne peut oublier tant de nostalgie
Toys n the attic was the loudest concert at the coliseum in Houston in 83 ..fuck n A that was a Rock n Roll concert !
Steven Tyler is no doubt one of if not THEE best front men ever!!

Would like to see you one of these days
My first concert and my big sis took me to it. Aerosmith and Joan Jett.

It's true I did the same thing and it cost me my brother Joe best drummer ever 😫😭😭😭😭love you Joe Allen RAW ENERGY for ever rip Joe
Honest and handsome.❤️
They are amazing
LEGENDS. ❤
Aerosmith these guys are true blue rock stars
They’re 74 and 76 now so they’re having a pretty good run.
Joe Perry is so f-cking cool haha
I saw Aerosmith with Whitelion in Savannah Ga. Great show, both bands rocked especially Whitelion...Vitto was badass.
I saw White Lion open for Cinderella on the Long Cold Winter tour. White Lion killed! Vito was great!
“Yes that I lived through it but not that people may think that’s the way to do it” had some articulation to it ngl
Joe has a great analogy. I've described my situation the same.
Steve Tyler 😂😂😂
So THAT’S where Finn went after Vito forced that recurring cannoli proposition…
It took me just 16 years of drinking to finally wake up one day and think I better quit or I'm going to Die
Glad you're here! Thanks for watching!
I saw my boys in '82 (without Joe Perry and Brad Whitford on the rock and a hard place tour when they had Jimmy Crespo and Rick Dufay), '84 (Back In The Saddle tour at the Greek Theater in LA), and '90 (Pump tour Cow Palace San Francisco).
The way Tyler laughed when he says it went all up his nose
Aerosmith was my 1st concert Steven was wasted I was 11 it was 1976

Great footage in they were so young.
Peru went up a lot of American noses 😂😝
I'm glad they survived !!!
At least Joe’s honest.
Damn those accents were thick.
I do like this band but sadly never went to a concert in my life time, 🫣🤘🕊️🌷🤍
Thank you ❤ and am sorry bout that, but you can still be our quest!
Saw them during that Toxic Twins era. Worst concert . Sounded terrible. Very disappointed. But hey, I left a huge, back up band, fan.. ACDC
❤🎸
Remember them in the movie , I think it was based on Sargent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, they were the Evil Beatles or something.
That role was offered to KISS, but they turned it down.
@RockNewsQuickies I started thinking I imagined it. Billy Preston was in it too I think.
@@StrangeFacinationsyeah you’re right 😊❤
How long have you been a fan!
They were "The Future Villan Band" in the movie Sgt Pepper, a Beatles tribute kind of thing. *Villian
Steven tyler Laughing and sounding like Stiffler from american pie

If any of you want to read a great book check out Walk This Way by Aerosmith.

The Toxic Twins ;)

This 84? That's they're comeback.. They say...
First concert 1977. Worst concert I ever attended. Went from super psyched to super disappointed. Not a bright spot in the show. Sad time for them

Now he looks like an old grandma.
I fucking love the honesty - especially because they absolutely DID sell out in the 80s with those garbage 'hits' that were written by someone else.
How’s your legendary band doing? Oh, you don’t have one? Then you must know what it’s like to survive in the music industry, because you speak with such self assurance.
I know what you mean I love their 70 stuff done with mirrors wasn't that good but it was about the end of Aerosmith. I love that term garbage hits
Yeah I agree. They turned to shit in the 80's. Before that, they were the coolest thing around.
you didn't do any island hopin' with your buddy there, did ya Joe?
