| "People used to ask me, 'What do you reckon you'll be doing when you're 40?' and I told 'em 'rocking out and kicking ass!' Now it's 'What do you reckon you'll be doing at 60?' and the answer's exactly the same." Steven Tyler Quote |
| 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 developed a lean, dirty riff-oriented boogie that was loose and swinging and as hard as a diamond. Having sold nearly 100 million albums worldwide over the course of a career spanning a quarter century, Aerosmith have not merely survived and thrived, they've transcended the trends, fads and follies of their times to become one of the most durable, and perpetually exciting, forces in popular music. Unique even among the select handful of rock bands of similar longevity, Aerosmith remains a potent chart force (Nine Lives debuted at #1 on the Billboard album chart, "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing," from the film "Armageddon," was #1 on the Hot 100 for four weeks in 1998) and boasts the original line-up that came together to cut the very first Aerosmith album back in 1973. |
