Boston, United States (1970 – present)

Aerosmith is a prominent American rock band. Although they are known as a Boston, Massachusetts band, none of the members are actually from that city. Three of the members, Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, and Tom Hamilton had originally met in Sunapee, New Hampshire in the late 60’s, but had not yet formed a band together. Tyler was from Yonkers, New York, Perry from Hopedale, Massachusetts, and Hamilton from New London, New Hampshire. In 1970, the three decided they would form a band together, and that Boston, Massachusetts would be the place to do it. Later they met up with Joey Kramer (drums) and Brad Whitford (rhythm guitar).

The band enjoyed major popularity throughout the 1970’s, but they split from 1979-84 due to serious substance abuse and drug addictions that contributed to their decline. The Grateful Dead’s Jerry Garcia reportedly said they were “the druggiest bunch of guys I’ve ever seen.” Jimmy Crespo replaced Joe Perry during those five years. However, in 1984, chiefly due to the tireless efforts of Joe Perry’s then manager, Tim Collins, to reform the band, Aerosmith was born again. Despite his own client Perry’s insistence that it was unthinkable, Collins succeeded in helping the band resolve old differences and ultimately overcome their addictions. By 1989, the band had completely stopped their drug abuse. They went on to enjoy a resurgence in popularity that has made them one of top-selling and most popular rock bands in the world today. Their greatest worldwide hit was “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing,” from the blockbuster-hit movie “Armageddon”.

Having said that, they do have some great songs like Angel and some others. All I'm saying is I wouldn't put them up there with the Stones or Zepellin as one of the greatest rock bands of all time, that's all

I have to say, I really tried for a long time to like these guys cuz I know they're supposed to be great and all, but they just aren't that good. If I want to rock out I'll listen to the Stones, Zeppelin, ACDC, Guns n' Roses; that's great rock n' roll. Now back in the seventies Aerosmith did have some really good songs like Mama Kin, Dream On, Walk This Way, etc..., but since then(probably when they got clean) they just became too pop sounding or something

Just tell me, how do I always confuse Aerosmith's Dream On to Scorpions? As if Taylor didn't sound very Taylor on that song...

Good luck Steven! I'm glad he's entered rehab. It's what he and the band needed.

This is sooo not sounding good: http://www.sleazeroxx.com/news09/1215tyl.shtml Seems like Joe was right. The problem sounding a bit bigger then just Steven doing a solo project the next two years.
