▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ 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 found the middle ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ ground between the menace of the ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ Rolling Stones and the campy, sleazy ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ flamboyance of the New York Dolls, ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ developing a lean, dirty riff-oriented ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ boogie that was loose and swinging and ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ as hard as a diamond. ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ In the meantime, they developed a ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ prototype for power ballads with "Dream ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ On," a piano ballad that was ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ orchestrated with strings and ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ distorted guitars. Aerosmith's ability ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ to pull off both ballads and rock & roll ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ made them extremely popular during the ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ mid-'70s, when they had a string of gold ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ and platinum albums. By the early '80s, ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ the group's audience had declined as the ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ band fell prey to drug and alcohol abuse. ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ However, their career was far from over ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ in the late '80s, Aerosmith pulled off ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ one of the most remarkable comebacks ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ in rock history, returning to the top ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ of the charts with a group of albums ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ that equalled, if not surpassed, the ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ popularity of their '70s albums. ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ In 1970, the first incarnation of ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ Aerosmith formed when vocalist Steven ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ Tyler met guitarist Joe Perry while ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ working at a Sunapee, NH, ice-cream ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ parlor. Tyler, who originally was a ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ drummer, and Perry decided to form a ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ power trio with bassist Tom Hamilton. ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ The group soon expanded to a quartet, ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ adding a second guitarist called Ray ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ Tabano; he was quickly replaced by Brad ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ Whitford, a former member of Earth Inc. ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ With the addition of drummer Joey Kramer, ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ Tyler became the full-time lead singer ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ by the end of year. Aerosmith relocated ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ to Boston at the end of 1970. ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ After playing clubs in the Massachusetts ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ and New York areas for two years, the ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ group landed a record contract with ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ Columbia Records in 1972. Aerosmith's ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ self-titled debut album was released in ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ the fall of 1973, climbing to number 166. ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ "Dream On" was released as the first ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ single and it was a minor hit, reaching ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ number 59. For the next year, the band ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ built a fan base by touring America, ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ supporting groups as diverse as the ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ Kinks, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Sha Na Na, ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ and Mott the Hoople. The performance of ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ Get Your Wings (1974), the group's ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ second album and the first produced by ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ Jack Douglas, benefited from their ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ constant touring, spending a total of 86 ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ weeks on the chart. ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ Aerosmith's third record, 1975's Toys ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ in the Attic, was their breakthrough ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ album both commercially and artistically. ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ By the time it was recorded, the band's ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ sound had developed into a sleek, ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ hard-driving hard rock powered by ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ simple, almost brutal, blues-based riffs. ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ Many critics at the time labeled the ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ group as punk rockers, and it's easy to ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ see why instead of adhering to the ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ world-music pretentions of Led Zeppelin ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ or the prolonged gloomy mysticism of ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ Black Sabbath, Aerosmith stripped heavy ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ metal to its basic core, spitting out ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ spare riffs that not only rocked, but ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ rolled. Steven Tyler's lyrics were ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ filled with double entendres and clever ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ jokes and the entire band had a ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ streetwise charisma that separated them ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ from the heavy, lumbering arena ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ rockers of the era. Toys in the Attic ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ captured the essence of the newly ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ invigorated Aerosmith. "Sweet Emotion," ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ the first single from Toys in the Attic, ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ broke into the Top 40 in the summer of ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ 1975, with the album reaching number 11 ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ shortly afterward. Its success prompted ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ the re-release of the power \ballad ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ "Dream On," which shot into the Top Ten ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ in early 1976. Both Aerosmith and Get ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ Your Wings climbed back up the charts ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ in the wake of Toys in the Attic. "Walk ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ This Way," the final single from Toys in ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ the Attic, was released around the time ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ of the group's new 1976 album, Rocks. ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ Although it didn't feature a Top Ten hit ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ like "Walk This Way," Rocks went platinum ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ quickly, peaking at number three. ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ In early 1977, Aerosmith took a break ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ and prepared material for their fifth ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ album. Released late in 1977, Draw the ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ Line was another hit, climbing to number ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ 11 on the U.S. charts, but it showed ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ signs of exhaustion. In addition to ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ another tour in 1978, the band appeared ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ in the movie Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ Club Band, performing "Come Together," ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ which eventually became a number 23 ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ hit. Live! Bootleg appeared late in ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ 1978 and became another success, ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ reaching number 13. Aerosmith recorded ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ Night in the Ruts in 1979, releasing the ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ record at the end of the year. By the ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ time of its release, Joe Perry had left ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ the band to form the Joe Perry Project. ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ Night in the Ruts performed respectably, ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ climbing to number 14 and going gold, ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ yet it was the least successful ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ Aerosmith record to date. Brad ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ Whitford left the group in early 1980, ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ forming the Whitsford-St. Holmes Band ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ with former Ted Nugent guitarist Derek ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ St. Holmes. ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ As Aerosmith regrouped with new ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ guitarists Jimmy Crespo and Rick Dufay, ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ the band released Aerosmith's Greatest ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ Hits in late 1980; the record would ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ eventually sell over six million ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ copies. The new lineup of Aerosmith ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ released Rock in a Hard Place in 1982. ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ Peaking at number 32, it failed to match ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ the performance of Night in the Ruts. ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ Perry and Whitford returned to the band ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ in 1984 and the group began a reunion ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ tour dubbed Back in the Saddle. Early in ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ the tour, Tyler collapsed on stage, ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ offering proof that the band hadn't ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ conquered their notorious drug and ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ alcohol addictions. The following year, ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ Aerosmith released Done with Mirrors, ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ the original lineup's first record since ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ 1979 and their first for Geffen Records. ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ Although it didn't perform as well as ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ Rock in a Hard Place, the album showed ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ that the band was revitalized. ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ After the release of Done with Mirrors, ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ Tyler and Perry completed ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ rehabilitation programs. In 1986, the ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ pair appeared on Run D.M.C.'s cover of ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ "Walk This Way," along with appearing in ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ the video. "Walk This Way" became a hit, ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ reaching number four and receiving ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ saturation airplay on MTV. "Walk This ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ Way" set the stage for the band's ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ full-scale comeback effort, the Bruce ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ Fairburn-produced Permanent Vacation ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ (1987). Tyler and Perry collaborated ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ with professional hard rock songwriters ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ like Holly Knight and Desmond Child, ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ resulting in the hits "Dude (Looks Like a ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ Lady)," "Rag Doll" and "Angel." ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ Permanent Vacation peaked at number 11 ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ and sold over three million copies. ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ Pump, released in 1989, continued the ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ band's winning streak, reaching number ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ five, selling over four million ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ copies, and spawning the Top Ten ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ singles "Love in an Elevator," "Janie's ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ Got a Gun," and "What It Takes." ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ Aerosmith released Get a Grip in 1993. ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ Like Permanent Vacation and Pump, Get a ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ Grip was produced by Bruce Fairburn and ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ featured significant contributions by ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ professional songwriters. The album was ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ as successful as the band's previous ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ two records, featuring the hit singles ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ "Livin' on the Edge," "Cryin'," and ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ "Amazing." In 1994, Aerosmith released ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ Big Ones, a compilation of hits from ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ their Geffen years which fulfilled their ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ contract with the label; it went double ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ platinum shortly after its release. ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ While Aerosmith was at the height of its ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ revitalized popularity in the early ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ '90s, the group signed a lucrative ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ multi-million dollar contract with ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ Columbia Records, even though they still ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ owed Geffen two albums. It wasn't until ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ 1995 that the band was able to begin ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ working on their first record under the ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ new contract nearly five years after ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ the contract was signed. The making of ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ Aerosmith albums usually had been ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ difficult affairs, but the recording of ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ Nine Lives was plagued with bad luck. ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ The band went through a number of ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ producers and songwriters before ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ settling on Kevin Shirley in 1996. More ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ damaging, however, was the dismissal of ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ the band's manager Tim Collins, who had ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ been responsible for bringing the band ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ from the brink of addiction. Upon his ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ firing, Collins insinuated that Steven ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ Tyler was using hard drugs again, an ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ allegation that Aerosmith adamantly ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ denied. Under such circumstances, ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ recording became quite difficult, and ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ when Nine Lives finally appeared in the ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ spring of 1997, it was greeted with ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ great anticipation, yet the initial ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ reviews were mixed and even though album ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ debuted at number one, it quickly fell ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ down the charts. The live A Little South ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ of Sanity followed in 1998. Three years ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ later, Aerosmith strutted their stuff ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ on the halftime special on CBS with the ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ likes of Mary J. Blige, Nelly, *N Sync, ▀█████████
