Aerosmith: Bands
built 788 days ago
Aerosmith is rock and roll at his greatest. Some things just get better with age, like fine wines and Aerosmith, who rock harder after 30 years of music-making than just about any band in the business. Aerosmith has plans to tour the UK and Europe in 2007. Be sure to buy your concert tickets for Aerosmith in time!

Aerosmith was one of the most popular hard rock bands of the '70s, setting the style and sound of hard rock and heavy metal for the next two decades with their raunchy, bluesy swagger. The Boston-based quintet found the middle ground between the menace of the Rolling Stones and the campy, sleazy flamboyance of the New York Dolls developing a lean, dirty riff-oriented boogie that was loose and swinging and as hard as a diamond.

"Draw the Line" rocks and is one of the best Aerosmith records ever released. The thing about it is, most of it was recorded while the band was in total turmoil in the midst of fighting, drugs and the excesses of the rock and roll lifestyle. Still, with the help of Jack Douglas, they managed to record a total masterwork. "Kings & Queens" is simply phenomenal. The banjo mixed in with the heavy rock 'n' roll is pure brilliance. "Draw the Line" is a classic rock and roll song. "Bright Light Fright" featured the vocals of Joe Perry for the first time, which would be sort of a scary prophecy of things soon to come.

Aerosmith released its mammoth-selling Greatest Hits album in 1980 and in 1981 the band suffered another loss with the departure of Brad Whitford. After recording guitar parts for the song "Lightning Strikes", Whitford was replaced by Rick Dufay and the band recorded their seventh album Rock in a Hard Place in 1982. The album was considered a commercial failure, only going gold, and failing to produce a major hit single. On the tour for Rock in a Hard Place, Tyler collapsed during an onstage performance in November 1982.
