Aerosmith's Greatest Hits (1080p)

Aerosmith

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aerosmith is an American rock band, sometimes referred to as "the Bad Boys from Boston"[6] and "America's Greatest Rock and Roll Band."[7][8][9][10] Their style, which is rooted in blues-based hard rock,[11][12] has come to also incorporate elements of pop,[13] heavy metal,[11] and rhythm and blues,[14] and has inspired many subsequent rock artists.[15] The band was formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 1970.[5] Guitarist Joe Perry and bassist Tom Hamilton, originally in a band together called the Jam Band, met up with vocalist/pianist/harmonicist Steven Tyler, drummer Joey Kramer, and guitarist Ray Tabano, and formed Aerosmith. In 1971, Tabano was replaced by Brad Whitford, and the band began developing a following in Boston.

They were signed to Columbia Records in 1972, and released a string of gold and platinum albums, beginning with their 1973 eponymous debut album, followed by Get Your Wings in 1974.[16] In 1975, the band broke into the mainstream with the album Toys in the Attic, and their 1976 follow-up Rocks cemented their status as hard rock superstars.[17] Two additional albums followed in 1977 and 1979. Their first five albums have since attained multi-platinum status. Throughout the 1970s, the band toured extensively and charted a dozen Hot 100 singles. By the end of the decade, they were among the most popular hard rock bands in the world and developed a loyal following of fans, often referred to as the "Blue Army".[18] However, drug addiction and internal conflict took their toll on the band, which led to the departures of Perry and Whitford in 1979 and 1981, respectively; they were replaced by Jimmy Crespo and Rick Dufay.[12] The band did not fare well between 1980 and 1984, releasing the album Rock in a Hard Place, which was certified gold but failed to match their previous successes.

Perry and Whitford returned to Aerosmith in 1984 and the band signed a new deal with Geffen Records. After a comeback tour, the band recorded Done with Mirrors (1985), which won some critical praise but failed to come close to commercial expectations. It was not until the band's collaboration with rap group Runâ€“D.M.C. in 1986, and the 1987 multi-platinum release Permanent Vacation, that they regained the level of popularity they had experienced in the 1970s.[19] In the late 1980s and 1990s, the band scored several hits and won numerous awards for music from the multi-platinum albums Pump (1989), Get a Grip (1993), and Nine Lives (1997), and embarked on their most extensive concert tours to date. The band also became a pop culture phenomenon with popular music videos and notable appearances in television, film, and video games. Their comeback has been described as one of the most remarkable and spectacular in rock 'n' roll history.[11][12] Additional albums followed in 2001, 2004, and 2012. Since 2001, the band has toured every year except 2008. After 46 years of performing, the band continues to tour and record music.

Aerosmith is the best-selling American hard rock band of all time, having sold more than 150 million records worldwide, including over 70 million records in the United States alone.[20][21] With 25 gold albums, 18 platinum albums, and 12 multi-platinum albums, they hold the record for the most total certifications by an American group and are tied for the most multi-platinum albums by an American group. The band has scored 21 Top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, nine number-one Mainstream Rock hits, four Grammy Awards, six American Music Awards, and ten MTV Video Music Awards. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001, and were included among both Rolling Stone's and VH1's lists of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.[22] In 2013, the band's principal songwriters, Tyler and Perry, were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Greatest Hits (Aerosmith album)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Greatest Hits is the first greatest hits compilation album by American hard rock band Aerosmith, released by Columbia Records in October 1980.[1] It went multi-platinum and contained the songs that made the band an icon of the 1970s rock era.

Some of the tracks were significantly edited from their original versions. The single version of "Same Old Song and Dance" was used, and was edited down almost a full minute. It also contained an alternate lyric which wasn't heard on Get Your Wings. The original lyric was "Gotcha with the cocaine, found with your gun." The alternate lyric, included on the compilation, was "You shady lookin' loser, you played with my gun." "Sweet Emotion" also used the single version; it begins with the first chorus, cutting out the now famous talk box intro and the coda was replaced with a repeating chorus and fades out. "Kings and Queens" was also edited down, cutting the intro and certain other parts. "Walk This Way" was edited slightly, chanting the first chorus once instead of twice. The other remaining tracks were kept intact.

In 2004, a slightly revised version, Greatest Hits 1973â€“1988, was released, with the ten tracks in their edited versions retained, with five additional songs from the same era added, plus the 1991 version of "Sweet Emotion" and a live version of "One Way Street".

Greatest Hits is the band's highest RIAA certified album in the United States, having been certified 11x Platinum in 2007.

ping

#1 Draw The Line
#2 Back in the saddle
#3 Road Runner (honkin on bobo)

my picks

“Toys In The Attic” changed the face of Rock and Roll.

‘No More, No More’ from that album is still one of my favorites.

Where’s Big Ten-Inch.......Record?

Revising based on recent input:

#1 Toys in the Attic
#2 Draw The Line
#3 Back in the saddle
#4 Road Runner (honkin on bobo)

Decent song list. For albums I’d say 1) Get Your Wings, 2) Toys in the Attic, 3) Rocks, 4) Draw the Line. ....after which is a very steep drop off in quality.

Saw them live only once, in ‘78 at the L.A. Forum. The “Draw the Line” tour. They were drunk and sloppy, and played for less than 90 min. Disappointing.

In the late ‘80s they did release (as a promo single) a great rockin’ tune — “Hangman Jury.”

“Toys In The Attic” was the beginning of Heavy Metal.

I meant the album...

I know

Steven Tyler in 1080p....

I think I'll pass.

Toys in Attic came out in 75 Black Sabbath’s album, Paranoid came out in 70 so I wouldn’t be so sure about Toys in Attic being the beginning of heavy metal.
