*AKA* –>
*the ‘bad boys’ from ‘boston’*
*america’s greatest ‘rock n roll band’*
.
(‘aerosmith’ is an american rock band)
.
(ala the american “rolling stones”)
(better than the ‘beach boys’?)
(better than ‘bruce’?)
(better than ‘eddie and friends’?)
(really! is that so?)
(delivered as snarkily as possible)
(before collecting the shards of glass that will almost certainly go flying)
(their style, which is rooted in “blues-based hard rock”, has come to also incorporate elements of ‘pop’, ”heavy metal’, and ‘rhythm and blues’, and has inspired many subsequent rock artists)
(they were formed in ‘Boston’, ‘Massachusetts’ in 1970)
(guitarist ‘Joe Perry’ and bassist ‘Tom Hamilton’, originally in a band together called the ‘Jam Band’, met up with) –>
‘STEVEN TYLER’
(‘vocalist’ / ‘pianist’ / ‘harmonicist’)
(drummer ‘joey kramer’)
(guitarist ‘ray tabano’)
(and formed ‘aerosmith’)
(in 1971, ‘Tabano’ was replaced by ‘Brad Whitford’, and the band began developing a following in ‘Boston’)
(they were signed to ‘Columbia Records’ in 1972, and released a string of gold and platinum albums, beginning with their 1973 eponymous debut album, followed by Get Your Wings in 1974)
(in 1975, the band broke into the mainstream with the album Toys in the Attic, and their 1976 follow-up Rocks cemented their status as “hard rock superstars”)
(2 additional albums followed in 1977 and 1979)
(their first 5 albums have since attained ‘multi-platinum status’)
(throughout the 1970s, the band toured extensively and charted a dozen “Hot 100” singles)
(by the end of the decade, they were among the most popular hard rock bands in the world and developed a loyal following of fans, often referred to as the “Blue Army”)
(however, drug addiction and internal conflict took their toll on the band, which led to the departures of ‘Perry’ and ‘Whitford’ in 1979 and 1981, respectively; they were replaced by’ Jimmy Crespo’ and ‘Rick Dufay’)
(the band did not fare well between 1980 and 1984, releasing the album Rock in a Hard Place, which was certified gold but failed to match their previous successes)
(‘Perry’ and ‘Whitford’ returned to ‘Aerosmith’ in 1984 and the band signed a new deal with ‘Geffen Records’)
(the year of my birth!)
(well wouldn’t ya know?)
(after a ‘comeback tour’, the band recorded Done with Mirrors (1985), which won some critical praise but failed to come close to commercial expectations)
(it was not until the band’s collaboration with rap group “RunβD.M.C”. in 1986, and the 1987 multi-platinum release Permanent Vacation, that they regained the level of popularity they had experienced in the 1970s)
(in the late 1980s and 1990s, the band scored several hits and won numerous awards for music from the multi-platinum albums Pump (1989), Get a Grip (1993), and Nine Lives (1997), and embarked on their most extensive concert tours to date)
(the band also became a ‘pop culture phenomenon’ with popular ‘music videos’ and notable appearances in ‘television’, ‘film’, and ‘video games’)
(their comeback has been described as one of the most remarkable and spectacular in “rock ‘n’ roll history”)
(additional albums followed in 2001, 2004, and 2012)
(since 2001, the band has toured every year, except 2008)
(after 47 years of performing!!!, the band continues to tour and record music, but is embarking on a “farewell tour” that will likely last several years, with the first leg of the tour planned for ‘Europe’ in the ‘spring’ and ‘summer’ of 2017)
(“aerosmith” is the best-selling American hard rock band of all time, having sold more than 150 million records worldwide, including over 70 million records in the ‘United States’ alone)
(with 25 gold albums, 18 platinum albums, and 12 multi-platinum albums, they hold the record for the most total certifications by an “american band” and are tied for the most multi-platinum albums by an “american band”)
(tied with who?)
(KISS?)
(the band has scored 21 “Top 40” hits on the Billboard Hot 100, nine “#1 “‘mainstream rock’ hits”), 4 “Grammy Awards”, 6 ‘American Music Awards’, and 10 “MTV Video Music Awards”)
(they were inducted into the “Rock and Roll Hall of Fame” in 2001, and were included among both Rolling Stone‘s and VH1’s lists of the “100 Greatest Artists of All Time”)
.
*2013* –>
(in 2013, the band’s principal songwriters (‘tyler’ + ‘perry’) were inducted into the ‘songwriters hall of fame’)
