Saw them once. Totally nuts. Worth it.

Toys was one of the first Quad-records i ever bought...

54 years. That's a damn pretty good run.

They've seen it all. The gutter, fame, fortune, the gutter again, redemption. And through all of that, they've given us some great rock and roll.

Even their most drug-drenched trainwreck of an album "Night in the Rutz" (1979) is an order of magnitude greater than virtually 99.9% of the garbage that's being released today.

Great run! Great job, Toxic Twins! Enjoy your well-earned retirement!

You've earned it.

Karma finally got him. It took a couple of years, but firing your drummer without notice right at the beginning of a Vegas gig was a nasty thing to do, Steven.

What exactly happened to Steven Tyler’s vocal chords?

This is the guy whose (illegitimate) daughter (of whose existence he had had absolutely no knowledge until she, in her late teens, approached him) played the "love interest" in "Armageddon" and an elfin princess in "Lord of the Rings," right?

I wonder how many other illegitimate children he has spawned. He probably doesn't know, himself.

True, I’d rather see Aerosmith live while they’re on a 4-day drunk than any rap or hip-hop today.

[steve86]

That’s a helluva pun right there.

Toys In The Attic and Rocks….

Two of THE most kick-ass albums ever laid down on vinyl.

Aerosmith was America’s response to the Stones.

They’re a zillion times better than the Stones, too.

[Lurker]

I love their music, but they were one of the worst live performances I ever saw. They were all still drinking and Tyler couldn’t finish the set. Jeff Beck came on and filled their time.

And he owned the entire stadium. It was at Comiskey Park for one of the old Monsters of Rock events.

Liv Tyler was on one of my flights to Maui back in the 90s. The manifest showed her as Liv Rundgren, so Todd Rundgren had adopted her. He was living on Maui at the time. Had another guy on a Maui flight who was going there to work with Rundgren.

Who?

[lefty-lie-spy]

I saw them at least three times. Good shows, but then haven’t really had any good music since the 1980s. All that pop-rock trash they did later was horrible. Their best was their earliest, of course.

Had tickets to see them (again) last November. Ticket prices were approaching stupid Taylor Swift levels so i decided to get a refund when Tyler blew out his larynx and the show was rescheduled to later this year.

Paid $10 to see him perform about 10 years ago when a wealthy tech guy arranged a private concert for his employees.

An imitation of The Rolling Stones. But you have to hand it to them for longevity.

[Rummyfan]

These people are like wolves - they don’t know how many children they have.

[Rummyfan]

Yes, Liv Tyler. She was flavor-of-the-month once.

Tyler was born Liv Rundgren on July 1, 1977, in New York City [...] She is the only daughter of Bebe Buell, a model, singer, and former Playboy Playmate (Miss November 1974), and Steven Tyler, the lead singer of Aerosmith. [...] From 1972 to 1979, Buell lived with rock musician Todd Rundgren. In 1976, Buell became pregnant from a brief relationship with Steven Tyler. She gave birth on July 1, 1977, naming the daughter Liv Rundgren and claiming that Todd Rundgren was the biological father because Tyler was in the middle of his well-documented drug excesses. - Wikipedia

...as you do.

I dunno... Maybe if the father of my child were a convicted serial killer, I'd suppress the truth about paternity - but because of mere "drug excesses?!" 95% of all rock stars would instantly qualify for that!
