Aerosmith personally dissect their classic albums

Aerosmith has repeatedly defied the odds, making a mockery of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s famous assertion that “There are no second acts in American lives.” As America’s premier hard rock band of the 1970s, Aerosmith suffered a tumultuous implosion at the end of the decade due to inflamed egos and rampant drug abuse. However, the Boston quintet staged an extraordinary comeback in the mid-1980s, rekindling their raunchy, blues-driven rock ‘n’ roll sound for a new generation of fans.

A Legendary Rock Journey: Aerosmith’s Explosive Career and Timeless Music

Aerosmith has defied the odds and the critics time and again, establishing themselves as one of America’s greatest rock bands. Rising from the gritty streets of Boston in the early 1970s, they dominated the hard rock scene throughout the decade with their raw, blues-infused sound. Just when it seemed like their story was over—derailed by egos and substance abuse—they made a spectacular comeback in the mid-1980s. Their resurgence captured the hearts of a new generation, proving that they were far from a spent force. Over the years, Aerosmith has faced numerous challenges, including internal strife and health issues, yet their music and their legacy have endured. This article delves deep into their remarkable journey, their classic albums, and the personal stories behind the music that has defined rock ‘n’ roll for decades.

In recent years, the Aerosmith bandwagon has hit some bumps. Vocalist Steven Tyler’s forays into country music and reality TV sparked rumors that the band might even tour without him. Yet, they persevered. Despite the delay of last year’s highly anticipated Peace Out tour due to Tyler fracturing his larynx, he’s returned to the stage, and the tour dates are set to begin in September. The band’s future remains uncertain, but their back catalog speaks volumes.

Let’s dive into Aerosmith’s classic albums as the band members share their insights and memories.

Aerosmith (1973)

The Beginning of an Era

This debut album is where it all started for Aerosmith, even if they did borrow ‘it’ from the Stones and the Yardbirds.

Steven Tyler: “Man, talk about raw! That album was the shit. We were living together in an apartment in Boston, at 1325 Commercial Avenue, and we had to scrape together the songs that we were playing in clubs and write some of our own. It was a crazy period. Joe would sit in his room and get stoned and play guitar with his amp on and, I swear, more great shit would come out of his fingers in one night than we ever collected in 30 years.”

Joe Perry: “I had no idea what was involved in getting the band to sound good. We basically set up in a room with our stage gear and just played the set. It was that basic. Steven was a real perfectionist. He’d make us play stuff over and over and over again until it was right to his ears.”

Steven Tyler: “Did it cross the line into bullying? Well, how the fuck else do you get a bunch of teenagers to stop what they’re doing and just focus? It’s hard being in a band, but the difference here was that nobody left, nobody went to college, everyone dug in. We fucking did it man, and then we were off.”

Get Your Wings (1974)

Finding Their Voice

Aerosmith’s first album with long-time producer Jack Douglas marked the sound of a young band finding their voice.

Brad Whitford: “Our first record laid the groundwork for our career, but Get Your Wings was where we started our lifetime romance with Jack Douglas. He had such great ideas for our songs. We’d hear songs like ‘Same Old Song And Dance’ coming out of the speakers and we thought we were sitting on a mountain of gold.”

Tom Hamilton: “We were under a lot of pressure on that album. When our first record came out it didn’t do very well and the record company was very disappointed. They gave us an ultimatum: they pretty much said ‘If your next record doesn’t do really well then you’re not recording artists anymore.’ So we all moved back in together, and every single day we just lived the album.”

Steven Tyler: “On the first album, I didn’t really like my voice, so I kinda put on a blues voice, but on the second album the songs found my voice. I realized that it’s not about having a beautiful voice and hitting all the notes, it’s about attitude.”

Toys In The Attic (1975)

A Classic Is Born

The first true Aerosmith classic. Tracks like “Sweet Emotion,” “Walk This Way,” and the title track have never left their live setlist.

Tom Hamilton: “Since we’d had so little support from radio on the first album, our management realized that we’d need to go out and tour our asses off. It was great for the band in terms of progressing our style and ability as musicians, but unfortunately, it progressed our abilities in some other directions too…”

Joe Perry: “This was the watershed for us in becoming recording artists. It was the first record we had to start from scratch as far as writing goes, but I was really starting to get into the momentum of it, in terms of writing, and really starting to pull riffs from the air.”

Steven Tyler: “One night we were playing the HIC in Honolulu and in soundcheck Joe was playing the lick to ‘Walk This Way’ and I came out on stage and sat down at the drums and came up with a beat and the rest is history. But on the way to The Record Plant to record it I lost all the lyrics to the album in a yellow cab, and so that night I had to rewrite the lyrics from memory.”

Rocks (1976)

Inspiring a Generation

The album that inspired Slash, James Hetfield, and Kurt Cobain to play guitar. A stone-cold classic.

Tom Hamilton: “We recorded it in our own rehearsal space, just outside Boston. We had the Record Plant recording truck pull into the garage, and we had a really big room which we dressed with heavy curtains and divided up into a really neat recording room. There was a lot of laughter and a lot of camaraderie. Everyone was at their best on that album.”

Joe Perry: “There were a lot of drugs around, but if anything it helped loosen us up a little; the music always came first, everything else was just entertainment. The party only started taking over a few years later.”

Steven Tyler: “Everyone talks about the drugs, but if you want to talk about stuff that has any relevance here, let’s talk about something else. The drugs were part of our lifestyle then, but sleep deprivation was just as important here. We’d sit down with Jack and get an arrangement in seven or eight hours and go and record it the next day.”

Draw The Line (1977)

The Wheels Begin to Wobble

Recorded in an abandoned convent near New York at huge expense. But any remaining holy vibes did nothing to stop the wheels seriously wobbling.

Brad Whitford: “We had the run of this old convent, we had caterers, we had our cars, and we were getting into all kinds of mischief. We had a great setup to make the record, but we also had a lot of distractions…”

Joe Perry: “We were running wild. The whole thing about being in a band was having a good time. But sometimes you can have too much of a good time. We probably should have left some of our toys at home. We were all recording in separate rooms, and that’s an appropriate analogy for where the band was at.”

Steven Tyler: “That album was fucking weird. This was the tail end of the band getting together all the time to write. Everyone was married, we’d toured ourselves into oblivion. I cringe when I look back on it. Apart from ‘Draw The Line’ and ‘Kings and Queens,’ we should have thrown everything else out and started from scratch.”

Tom Hamilton: “In terms of drug use, Draw The Line was the lowest point. There was just too much decadence and destruction going on. We went from being this great up-and-coming band to being this dilapidated shambles. I never liked the album. All I think of is all the pain we went through as a band.”

Night In The Ruts (1979)

The Wheels Come Off

The one where the wheels came off. Joe Perry walked out halfway through the studio sessions; Brad Whitford and Tom Hamilton weren’t too far behind.

Tom Hamilton: “Night In The Ruts was our chance to get things back on track. But it was just frustrating. We took too long to make it and our management booked a tour, leaving us just enough time to make the record, based on how long it’d taken us in the past, but we actually needed much more time. So we had to go on tour before the vocals were finished and it was just dragging on and on. Everyone was super frustrated by it.”

Steven Tyler: “The songwriting credits alone tell the story of that album. It’s not Toys In the Attic where it was all songs written by us, it’s got a load of covers, it was a patchwork quilt. It was tumultuous at best. We’d been wounded by going at such a speed, both on tour and in the studio. And I was definitely getting attitude from some of the members then.”

Joe Perry: “There was so much anger and stress and fatigue that the band couldn’t have survived it. And so we thought, ‘Okay, we’ll just get somebody else and get right back out there.’ But it was not to be.”

Done With Mirrors (1985)

A Comeback, Sort Of

Perry quit halfway through 1979’s Night In The Ruts, and Whitford followed soon after. Both returned for this much-touted ‘comeback’ album. Except it didn’t quite turn out that way.

Joe Perry: “Aerosmith hadn’t really done much for the name in our absence, with Steven passing out at gigs, and that record they made with the other guitar players [1982’s Rock In A Hard Place, with Jimmy Crespo and Rick Dufay]… let’s just say we don’t play any songs off that one. It wasn’t a bed of roses when we got back together. There were times I was thinking, ‘I gotta get a real job, this is a young man’s game.’”

Brad Whitford: “It wasn’t one of our better albums. We knew we had some work to do to get back to being professional musicians, because at that point we were half-musician/half-partiers. The party was over at that point, but we were the last people to know. The album title had a certain irony to it because our drug use was still pretty prevalent.”

Steven Tyler: “It was a crazy get-together. We looked at [producer] Ted Templeman’s credits and thought it might make for a great departure, but the band wasn’t quite there. It was an odd time. We were trying to get sober, and didn’t know why: we’d be hanging out in health food stores smoking banana skins, just doing weird shit man. Done With Mirrors was rough and raw and corporate, but it had to come out to get us going again.”

Permanent Vacation (1987)

The Real Comeback

The ‘proper’ comeback. Aerosmith’s biggest album in a decade, aided and abetted by input from professional songwriters such as Desmond Child and Jim Vallance.

Steven Tyler: “As soon as we sat down with David Geffen and [A&R man] John Kalodner, they talked about bringing in some new people to write with us. For me personally, that was great, because sometimes Joe and I needed structure. It made it a little easier for us. Man, there were some fucking great songs on there.”

Tom Hamilton: “As with Get Your Wings, there was an element of make-or-break to that album. But we worked with Bruce Fairbairn in Vancouver and he was just the personality that we needed at that point. We needed a strong leader and a coach who would kick our asses and make sure everybody was there and ready to work on time every day, instead of us sitting around all afternoon waiting for people’s hangovers to wear off. We aimed a little bit higher than before and really hit the mark, certainly compared to Done With Mirrors.”

Brad Whitford: “This was a good time. We felt rejuvenated, and working with Bruce Fairbairn and Bob Rock in Vancouver was a lot of fun. The music was definitely coming back into focus then. John Kalodner was very instrumental in getting Joe and Steven to write with outside writers and that developed into some really interesting music.”

Pump (1989)

Crowning the Comeback

If 1987’s Permanent Vacation put the newly-sober Aerosmith back on top, then Pump crowned their comeback. It remains their last true classic.

Joey Kramer: “We were fortunate to be able to do the re-make of Walk This Way with Run-DMC, which re-ignited our career. To follow that up with Permanent Vacation and Pump was a real second coming. Somebody up there was looking out for us.”

Steven Tyler: “There’s some crazily good shit on that record. Young Lust? What It Takes? F.I.N.E? Love In An Elevator? Fuck me, we had collected some fine-ass marbles on that record. We actually finished 18 songs for that album, and some of them you’ll never hear. We had to bury a lot of good shit.”

Bruce Fairbairn: “Bruce Fairbairn was incredible, he could squeeze blood out of a stone in terms of getting every last idea from a band, but every day he’d work with us for six hours and then leave, and I fucking hated it, because I might just be getting to the point where the magic is happening for me. I remember everybody leaving one day, and me working on …Elevator on my own, ad-libbing the front part to it.”

Bruce Fairbairn: “He introduced me to this crazy fucking guy that lived up in the hills in Vancouver who collected all these instruments from all over the world. When I went up to his house I lost my shit. He had everything from nose-flutes to Ethiopian instruments, but he could play them all, and so I started jamming with him. And we took those jams and put them between the tracks and that was the magic that took that album over the top.”

Get a Grip (1993)

A Commercial Juggernaut

Get a Grip was the band’s eleventh studio album and their most successful worldwide, selling over 20 million copies. The album yielded numerous hits such as “Cryin’,” “Crazy,” and “Amazing,” which dominated MTV and the radio airwaves.

Steven Tyler: “Get a Grip was about capturing a bigger audience. We had just done Pump, which was a massive hit, and the stakes were high. Bruce Fairbairn pushed us to our limits. There were times I wanted to strangle him, but he got the best out of us.”

Joe Perry: “We were writing with people like Desmond Child and Jim Vallance again, and it paid off. The album has some of our biggest hits and some of my favorite guitar work. We toured the world and it felt like we were on top of it.”

Nine Lives (1997)

Turbulent Times

Following the commercial success of Get a Grip, Aerosmith faced personal challenges and label changes during the production of Nine Lives. Despite the turbulence, the album managed to secure a Grammy for the single “Pink.”

Steven Tyler: “Nine Lives was a tough album to make. We were dealing with a lot of internal issues, and we switched labels. It was chaotic, but we pushed through. Songs like ‘Falling in Love (Is Hard on the Knees)’ and ‘Pink’ stand out as highlights.”

Tom Hamilton: “The recording sessions were intense. We were all over the place emotionally, but the music still came through. It wasn’t easy, but we were determined to keep going.”

Just Push Play (2001)

Modern Aerosmith

Embracing modern production techniques, Just Push Play saw Aerosmith experimenting with new sounds while still delivering their signature rock.

Steven Tyler: “We wanted to try something different. We worked with Mark Hudson and Marti Frederiksen, who brought a fresh perspective. Tracks like ‘Jaded’ and ‘Just Push Play’ showed we could still rock while exploring new territories.”

Joe Perry: “It was a bit of a departure, but we needed to evolve. The industry was changing, and we had to keep up. It was an exciting time, and we were up for the challenge.”

Honkin’ on Bobo (2004)

A Return to Roots

Honkin’ on Bobo saw Aerosmith returning to their blues roots, covering classic blues songs with a raw, energetic approach.

Steven Tyler: “We wanted to get back to where it all started. The blues are in our DNA, and Honkin’ on Bobo was a chance to pay homage to the greats that inspired us.”

Joe Perry: “Recording this album was like a breath of fresh air. We stripped everything back and just played. It was about the music, pure and simple.”

Music from Another Dimension! (2012)

A Mixed Bag

Aerosmith’s fifteenth studio album, Music from Another Dimension!, saw mixed reviews and moderate commercial success. However, it showcased the band’s willingness to experiment and collaborate with various artists.

Steven Tyler: “We wanted to do something different, something that would surprise our fans. We brought in outside writers and tried new things. It wasn’t our biggest hit, but it was a labor of love.”

Joe Perry: “The album had some great moments, but it was a challenging process. We were trying to find our place in a changing musical landscape. It was a learning experience.”

The Future of Aerosmith

Uncertain but Optimistic

As Aerosmith gears up for their delayed Peace Out tour, the future remains uncertain. However, the band’s legacy is undeniable, and their music continues to inspire generations.

Steven Tyler: “We’ve been through a lot, but we’re still here. The Peace Out tour is about celebrating our journey and connecting with our fans one last time.”

Joe Perry: “No matter what happens, the music will always be there. We’ve had an incredible run, and we’re grateful for every moment.”

Aerosmith’s journey is a testament to the enduring power of rock ‘n’ roll. Through highs and lows, breakups and reunions, they have remained a formidable force in music. As they embark on what could be their final tour, their legacy is secure. From their raw beginnings to their polished comebacks, Aerosmith’s story is one of resilience, creativity, and an unyielding passion for rock music.

In conclusion, the Aerosmith interview highlights not only their musical evolution but also their personal growth and resilience. Their albums, each with its own story and significance, collectively showcase the band’s impact on the rock genre. As they prepare for the next chapter, fans can look back on an extraordinary career that has left an indelible mark on the world of music.

Aerosmith: A Comprehensive Biography

The Formation of Aerosmith

In the late 1960s, the seeds of what would become Aerosmith were planted in the vibrant music scene of Boston, Massachusetts. The band was officially formed in 1970 when Steven Tyler (born Steven Tallarico), a young and dynamic vocalist with a passion for rock and blues, joined forces with guitarist Joe Perry and bassist Tom Hamilton. Perry and Hamilton had been playing together in a band called The Jam Band. Their synergy was undeniable, and they soon recruited guitarist Brad Whitford and drummer Joey Kramer to complete the lineup.

Early Struggles and Breakthrough

The band’s early years were marked by relentless touring and raw, energetic performances in small clubs and bars. In 1973, they released their self-titled debut album, “Aerosmith,” which included the now-classic track “Dream On.” While the album did not initially make a significant impact, it laid the groundwork for their future success. The raw energy and gritty blues-rock sound of “Aerosmith” began to resonate with audiences, and the band slowly started to build a loyal fanbase.

Their second album, “Get Your Wings” (1974), marked the beginning of a fruitful collaboration with producer Jack Douglas. This album showed a more polished and mature sound, with tracks like “Same Old Song and Dance” and “Train Kept A-Rollin'” becoming staples of their live performances. The pressure to succeed was immense, as their record label, Columbia, was not willing to invest further without significant sales. Fortunately, the album’s modest success kept their dream alive.

Rise to Stardom

Aerosmith’s third album, “Toys in the Attic” (1975), catapulted them to stardom. It was a commercial breakthrough, featuring iconic songs such as “Sweet Emotion” and “Walk This Way.” These tracks showcased Tyler’s distinctive voice and Perry’s guitar prowess, elements that would become the band’s signature. The album’s success was a testament to their hard work and the maturation of their sound. It reached No. 11 on the Billboard 200 and eventually went multi-platinum, solidifying their place in the rock pantheon.

Following up with “Rocks” in 1976, Aerosmith continued to ride the wave of success. “Rocks” is often cited by musicians as a significant influence, with tracks like “Back in the Saddle” and “Last Child” displaying their raw power and musical versatility. The album received critical acclaim and further entrenched their reputation as one of the premier rock bands of the era.

Turbulent Times

Despite their success, the late 1970s were fraught with challenges for Aerosmith. The relentless touring schedule, coupled with rampant substance abuse, began to take its toll on the band members. Their fifth album, “Draw the Line” (1977), while still successful, showed signs of the band’s internal struggles. The sessions were marred by excessive drug use and personal conflicts, resulting in an album that, while containing gems like the title track and “Kings and Queens,” lacked the cohesion of their previous efforts.

By the time they were recording “Night in the Ruts” (1979), the band’s internal tensions had reached a boiling point. Joe Perry left the band halfway through the recording process, citing creative differences and exhaustion. Brad Whitford followed suit soon after. The album, featuring a mix of new tracks and covers, reflected the fragmented state of the band. Although it included the notable single “No Surprize,” it failed to achieve the same level of success as its predecessors.

The Decline and Temporary Breakup

The early 1980s were a tumultuous period for Aerosmith. With Perry and Whitford replaced by Jimmy Crespo and Rick Dufay, the band released “Rock in a Hard Place” (1982). Despite some strong tracks like “Lightning Strikes,” the album did not perform well commercially, and the band’s popularity waned. Their live performances were often erratic, plagued by Tyler’s substance abuse issues, which sometimes led to him collapsing on stage.

The situation reached a nadir when Tyler was involved in a serious motorcycle accident in 1980, further complicating their touring schedule and recording plans. By 1984, the band seemed to be on the brink of disbanding, with members pursuing solo projects and the public largely having written them off as another casualty of rock ‘n’ roll excess.

The Comeback

In a remarkable turn of events, Perry and Whitford rejoined Aerosmith in 1984, and the band set out to reclaim their place in the rock hierarchy. They embarked on the “Back in the Saddle” tour, which was well-received and reignited interest in the band. However, it was their collaboration with hip-hop group Run-DMC on a reimagined version of “Walk This Way” in 1986 that truly revitalized their career. The song was a massive hit, breaking down genre barriers and introducing Aerosmith to a new generation of fans.

Their true comeback was solidified with the release of “Permanent Vacation” in 1987. Working with producer Bruce Fairbairn and outside songwriters like Desmond Child, Aerosmith crafted a polished, radio-friendly sound that dominated the airwaves. Hits like “Dude (Looks Like a Lady),” “Rag Doll,” and “Angel” marked a new era for the band. The album went multi-platinum and reestablished Aerosmith as a commercial powerhouse.

Sustained Success

Building on this newfound momentum, Aerosmith released “Pump” in 1989, which many consider their last true classic. The album featured a string of hits, including “Love in an Elevator,” “Janie’s Got a Gun,” “What It Takes,” and “The Other Side.” “Pump” was a critical and commercial triumph, showcasing the band’s ability to evolve while staying true to their rock roots.

The early 1990s saw Aerosmith continuing their streak of success with “Get a Grip” (1993). This album became their best-selling worldwide, fueled by massive hits like “Cryin’,” “Crazy,” and “Amazing.” The accompanying music videos, featuring Alicia Silverstone, were MTV staples and helped the band reach an even wider audience. “Get a Grip” earned multiple Grammy Awards and sold over 20 million copies worldwide.

The Later Years

The late 1990s and early 2000s presented new challenges for Aerosmith. They released “Nine Lives” in 1997, which, despite its turbulent production, including label changes and internal conflicts, still managed to produce the Grammy-winning single “Pink.” The album reflected the band’s resilience and ability to produce quality music even under pressure.

In 2001, they released “Just Push Play,” which embraced modern production techniques and showcased their willingness to experiment with new sounds. The album included the hit single “Jaded” and demonstrated that Aerosmith could adapt to the evolving music landscape while retaining their signature style.

Return to Roots and Continued Evolution

In 2004, Aerosmith released “Honkin’ on Bobo,” a blues covers album that saw them returning to their roots. The project was a labor of love, paying homage to the blues greats who had inspired them. The raw and energetic approach to the classics resonated with fans and critics alike, proving that Aerosmith could still deliver authentic, powerful music.

Their fifteenth studio album, “Music from Another Dimension!” (2012), received mixed reviews but showcased the band’s willingness to continue experimenting. Featuring collaborations with various artists and producers, the album highlighted Aerosmith’s enduring creativity and adaptability.

Challenges and Resilience

Throughout their career, Aerosmith has faced numerous personal and professional challenges. Steven Tyler’s health issues, including a fractured larynx that delayed their much-anticipated “Peace Out” tour, and his forays into country music and reality TV, have sparked rumors about the band’s future.
