Furthermore,their last twenty years of pop schlock material penned by hacks like Desmond Child completely cancels out whatever musical good the US Stones did in the 70s.

Funny thing, I don't feel this when I'm listening to Rocks or a Night in the Ruts super fuckin; loud. Yes, modern Aerosmith sux but nothing can diminish just how good they were for a good chunk of the '70s.
I've been on a big Peter Green-era Mac kick, and I realized that Aerosmith were really influenced by them.
― QuantumNoise (Justin Farrar), Monday, 17 April 2006 00:09 (eighteen years ago) link
Yeah, Aerosmith really was a logical extension of the late-60s british blues boom, with some street funk thrown in to the mix.

And then I can just picture little Westerberg and Malkmus listening to this and going "oh yeah".
Sick As A Dog? C'mon. What is going on there?

Name a funkier heavy guitar band than Aerosmith? Are you frigging kidding me?
How about P-Funk for starters. Cosmic Slop is 1,000,000 times heavier or funkier than the former bad boys from beantown ever were.

Also, Hamilton's bass playing is underrated. His work is exceptional on this record (as well as on "Toys in the Attic")

The banjo's on 'Last Child' but mixed way low in the 'home sweet home' bits, it sounds a little like a voice. And it's played with a slide, just to confuse things a little more.

R.E.M. actually covered 'Toys In The Attic'!
Yeah, this album rules and this band were totally on fire in the '70s... that they didn't end up really getting much commercial success here in the UK until their best years were long behind them will always have me scratching my head.

I think I'm gonna play this album really loudly when I get home today

that houston show made my morning. i was almost late for work. so cool. i never really listen to aerosmith anymore. they are kinda just a part of my dna thanks to years of exposure. my brother worshipped them.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 4 November 2015 19:37 (eight years ago) link

Seriously, I don't see a date on that poster, but that's mid '80s pricing, not '70s pricing. (Woulda been a hell of a show, though.)

like what IS that thing at the end of "Back in the Saddle"? Apparently a 27-string bass, could just as well be a tuba or an exploding meth lab.
