Aerosmith is a contender for greatest American rock band of all time.
They have incorporated blues, hard rock, and pop to create a unique sound that
has since been copied ad nausea by other acts.
Steven Tyler formed a band in 1964 while Joe Perry and Tom Hamilton
formed their own band. The pair moved to Boston, met Joey Kramer and Tyler and
formed what became Aerosmith. Brad Whitford joined in 1971 completing the
classic lineup.
Groundbreaking, considered the first power ballad,
Drugs and infighting led Perry and Whitford to leave the band in 1979.
Aerosmith entered a lost period.
Perry and Whitford eventually rejoined the band. However, it looked like
Aerosmith’s best days were behind them.
Until Run DMC…
Rehabbed and reinvigorated, Aerosmith returned triumphant.
The LA Riots inspired…
Alicia Silverstone’s video appearances became iconic.
