Thoughts on Aerosmith?
>>128231899early Aerosmith kicks ass. Like every 70s album desu.
>>128231899like RHCP. talented musicians with the dumbest frontman who has the most retarded lyrics and sayings.
>>128231899Extremely fucking overrated band. But their song Crazy is really fucking good.
>>128231899forgettable boomer rock
>>128231929>YYIIIIEEAAAHH SNORTIN' BLEEZE OFF A HOOKER'S ASS
>>128231930>Extremely fucking overrated bandHow many albums did you listen?
>>128231930If you can sing Crazy (preferably with a guitar,) you'll get laid. Whether you mean it or not.But they've made so many great old songs that get overlooked that I don't think they're overrated.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHoRpkIasvg
>>128231944I can name you ten 70s albums worse and more forgettable than the first four Aerosmith ones.
>>128231949I’m not listening to their entire discography. I listened to their biggest songs and the album Toys in the Attic and realized they sucked. No point going past that.
>>128231979out of curiosity what are your favourite artists/albums?
Rocks [Columbia, 1976]Dave Hickey compares the teen crossover of the year to a Buick Roadmaster, and he's right--they've retooled Led Zeppelin till the English warhorse is all glitz and flow, beating the shit out of Boston and Ted Nugent and Blue Oyster Cult in the process. Wish there were a lyric sheet--I'd like to know what that bit about J. Paul Getty's ear is about--but (as Hickey says) the secret is the music, complex song structures that don't sacrifice the basic 4/4 and I-IV-V. A warning, though: Zep's fourth represented a songmaking peak, before the band began to outgrow itself, and the same may prove true for this lesser group, so get it while you can. A-

>>128231999Damn maybe Christgau ain't so bad.
kickass first song right out of the gate.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ojv_pzAiCo
>>128231899Even thought they’ve made some really gay songs throughout the years, Aerosmith’s 70’s output cemented them as legends and their come back in the late 80’s was epic. Hating on Aerosmith is low IQ.
they had consistent albums with well-produced, powerful songs which a lot of their contemporaries didn't
Joe Perry is in that small category of guitarists that Blackmore doesn't shit on.
>>128232106Not the anon, but you have completely shit taste. No wonder you hate Aerosmith.
>>128232521As I said with Zeppelin same thing, most bands couldn't match their consistency. It was hard being a music listener back then knowing you could buy a $7 album only to get 1.5 good songs and 8 filler tracks with generic soft rock or blues slop.
>>128232546ha ha no most of the good Aerosmith guitar bits are Brad Whitford. Perry could just do some basic slop guitar; he got a little better in the 80s-90s but his contributions to the band are way overstated by their marketing machine.
>>128232566Actually it is kind of hard to tell who's who sometimes. They just blanket the whole song with good shit. But I know Blackmore has praised him, which is funny in itself.
>>128232566Whitford is a classically trained musician, Perry isn't so he can do a lot more with the guitar.
Rocks is overrated by retarded critics and the /mu/ idiots who believe them
>>128232735Another tryhard faggot. It's called Rocks. Says it right there on the tin. You don't need critics to tell you shit.
>>128232549Better taste than an Aerosmith fan. Kys fag
>>128232566this is an exaggerationthey're about the same level
>>1282318991970's Aerosmith: 8/101980's+ Aerosmith: 4/10
Cryin is another pussy magnet desu.
>>128231899How in the fuck did these bozos come up with Dream On?You only need Toys and Rocks as far as albums go
>>128231929>>128231945to be fair Tyler had his own slightly demented sound and songwriting that gave them a personality a lot of contemporaries lacked. there's a reason why bands as boring as Atlanta Rhythm Section are totally forgotten now. great music is about taking familiar cliches and putting your own nutty spin on them.
>>128231899Shitty mom rock trite
>>128233473You don't even know what that means, do you.
>>128233532Yes I do
>>128231899America really needed punk to happen, these guys and Kiss are our most famous representatives of the mid 70s. A source of deep shame for this country
>>128234744nah Foreigner and Styx were the real shame
