Aerosmith C/D?

STEVEN TYLER has gone from breaking the law, to making the law with his new proposed Senate bill.

Hawaii Senate Bill 465, also known as the Steven Tyler Act, would create a civil cause of action for “constructive invasion of privacy” in the state of Hawaii. Tyler initiated--and is a proponent and vocal supporter of--the bill and will appear with fellow Hawaii resident Mick Fleetwood on Friday, February 8 as the bill is presented in a Senate hearing at the State Capitol in Honolulu, Hawaii. At this writing, the bill is being endorsed by 2/3 of the Senate.

The proposed bill (SB465) was modeled after the California Civil Code Section 1708.8, which was adopted by the California state legislature in 1998. SB465 would add a cause of action for constructive invasion of privacy in addition to the current cause of action for physical invasion of privacy in Hawaii. In the simplest terms, the proposed bill would provide a legal remedy for celebrities photographed while they are engaged in “personal or familial activity” and have a reasonable expectation of privacy. This new law would go beyond the more traditional invasion of privacy, which generally requires a physical trespass, by imposing liability on people who use zoom telephonic lenses or other high tech audio devices to capture images or audio of public figures as they are in their homes, or other private places, and then turn around and sell those images or audio files.

The ideals of the proposed bill, SB465, are already enshrined in the constitution of the State of Hawaii. Article 1, Section 6 grants the people the right of privacy, not to be infringed without a “compelling state interest.” Article 1, Section 7 goes further stating the “right of the people to be secure in their persons…against invasions of privacy shall not be violated.”

“The paradise of Hawaii is a magnet for celebrities who just want a peaceful vacation,” TYLER says. “As a person in the public eye, I know the paparazzi are there and we have to accept that. But when they intrude into our private space, disregard our safety and the safety of others, that crosses a serious line that shouldn't be ignored.”

I met a cheerleader, was a real young bleeder

This is one of those threads I open expecting either the band to have broken up or someone to have died.

xp: and This Love by Pantera sounds a lot more like the Seasons of Wither intro than Say Hello 2 Heaven does.

For some reason I spent a whole workday listening to all the post-1980 Aerosmith albums and came up with this playlist:

Old & Horny: Post-1980 Aerosmith Deep Cuts

https://open.spotify.com/user/matthelgeson/playlist/0H6qzU5E0Sg6g1WWytVKna

Thanks for your sacrifice. That couldn't have been easy

thanks...it was rough sledding at times

man "Get a Grip" really blows

also now that Tyler's gone country you can really see that telegraphed in the later albums

also man tyler kicks out some o_O couplets:

livin', lovin', gettin' loose
masturbatin' with a noose
now someone's kickin' out the chair

The buzz that you be gettin' from the crack don't last
I'd rather be O.D.in' on the crack of her ass

Get a Grip is so devoid of tunes outside of the singles (which are mostly garbage other than "Living on the Edge" and "Eat the Rich"). "Flesh" is like the ugliest song ever recorded, "Fever" got covered by fuckin' Garth Brooks (minus the hilariously grotesque lyrics), the title track features the lyric "Once upon a time I thought I was cool but I don't want to brag", "Gotta Love It" is a nothing tune....

yet weirdly I remember every tune on that album if that's a testament to how often 13 year old me played it

how is "Honkin on Bobo"

that is still hilarious to type

In 2010, guitarist Joe Perry revealed his distaste for the album, stating that:[3]

“ I don't think we've made a decent album in years. Just Push Play is my least favorite. When we recorded it there was never a point where all five members were in the room at the same time and Aerosmith's major strength is playing together. It was a learning experience for me: it showed me how not to make an Aerosmith record.

Just Push Perry

Vaccinate your ass with a phonograph needle

Can anyone transcript the jive on "No Surprize?"

No surprize is their pinnacle. Thank you

Oh shit, same time on those posts!!!!

"situation feeble"

The back stage is rocking and we're coppin' from the local police

Aw, the justice of peace

Here are twentey-five hot rocks.

Today my brother told me that session guitar maestro Dick Wagner played the rave-up/solo on Aerosmith's cover of Train Kept a Rollin'. Is this common knowledge that I somehow missed? Anyone else heard this rumour?

Feel like there was some discussion of that recently but its not on this thread, apparently?

A guy passed me on the street the other day who liked an alternate-universe Steven Tyler, in which he never made it in music and instead went to business school and became a tubby middle manager who was late for his 10 a.m. meeting.

I could've sworn there was a thread recently where someone (Neanderthal?) was slagging off Aerosmith for not even playing on their earlier records and the Train Kept a Rollin thing was mentioned along with session work by the Alice Cooper band guys via Bob Ezrin...? this doesn't ring a bell with anybody?

ah here it is: Aerosmith's Greatest Hits (1980)

Wimmels was the one who brought up Wagner

Aerosmith's Greatest Hits (1980)

somewhat surprised AlS doesn't much go for the band's 90s ballads… them's the best of the power variety that ever was… or "Don't Wanna miss a Thing" is the ne plus ultra of Diane Warren…

I like "Thing" more than I did in 1998, but it still sounds like Tyler's passing a hernia.

A friend at the time said she hoped to date a guy who said the things Tyler does to her.

But few people know that they had a little help along the way when, during the recording, Record Producer Jack Douglas saw the now legendary session man Steve Hunter sitting outside the studio taking a cigarette break from a different session and he asked Steve to play a solo over the first half of the track.

It was very quick Steve recalls, he got his own guitar which he thinks would have been a 1959 Les Paul TV Special. They took some time to get a sound, then, ran through the track. But, as he did not have the vocal in his headphones they ran through it again this time with the vocal in, and Steve nailed it.

He got paid about $750 for doing it, then, as it turns out, 'Train' had a huge impact on the career of the young, inexperienced Aerosmith. They went on to bigger and better things, becoming one of the highest paid, most domineering bands in Rock Music.

Unbeknownst to Steve, Douglas also enlisted his session companion Dick Wagner to play the solo over the second half simulated live ‘Yardbirds’ section.

Neither Hunter or Wagner got a credit on the album, as ‘ghosting’ as it’s sometimes called was fairly common practice at that time.

Hunter has no idea why he was asked to record the solo; as he says, it was none of his business. The rest of the band we’re all there, they were very nice to him and he was never asked to teach anybody what he played.

In 2013 Joe Perry played a solo on Steve's solo album 'The Manhattan Blues Project' (The Brooklyn Shuffle) alongside his buddy Johnny Depp, so clearly there are no hard feelings and why should there be.

Statement from Steve Hunter

"Aerosmith was in Studio C of The Record Plant and I was doing work with Bob Ezrin in Studio A. I had a long wait between dubs and was waiting in the lobby. Jack Douglas popped his head out of Studio C and asked "Hey, do you feel like playing? I said sure, so I grabbed my guitar and went in" "I had two run thru’s, then Jack said "great' that's it! That turned out to be the opening solos on 'Train Kept A Rollin’ " steve hunter 2/1/2015

This also came up recently during a discussion of Lou Reed's Rock n Roll Animal.

Thanks. I must now, with hanging head, after telling him he's wrong, tell my brother he was right. D'oh!

Alfred's list is fine. I really just can't get with most reformed Aerosmith, but one track out there that I think fits with the old druggy 70s music is "Hangman Jury" off of Permanent Vacation.

When I was a kid, I got a three of Aerosmith's LPs as 8-tracks and that was the format I really heard them first in. I can't remember what track it was but one on 'Draw the Line' clicked to a new track in the middle of a song nearly in time that was pretty hilarious.

I love how "no surpiZe" is a latter day origin story for the band..."and old Clive Davis said he surely gonna make us a star" and Tyler's raspy "smoking up the axle grease" and how the track descends into Draw the Line coked up mania by the end with a greedy rant of "ascap, bmi , if Japanese can make tea then where the fuck my royalties?"

Just noticed today that the version of “same old song and dance” on Wings is different - a little more loose - than the one on Greatest Hits

New font on the logo?

I made it to the end of “live bootleg” and by the time they make it to “I ain’t got you” / “mother popcorn” / “train kept rolling” it’s clear that they’re just a bar band that struck it big

I'd rather be O.D.in' on the honk of her bobo

Better: I'd rather be honkin' on the crack of her bobo

“I ain’t got you” has some Tyler honkin’ and it’s as mediocre abs cliched as you’d expect

I’m deep in an Asmith YouTube hole. Watching the “making of pump” documentary. I can’t believe there’s accordion on “what it takes.”
Joe justifying commercialism by saying “if I were a purist I’d be playing in a coffee shop in Cambridge. I’m an entertainer. I play arena rock”

any thoughts on the 1971 practice tape? called “the road starts hear”? i love it. very strange rolling stone review here which harps on the sound quality? calling it “dusty” and “a fossil” etc which is just… what? it sounds… frankly amazing?? maybe the reviewer got a copy with some bad juju rubbed into it? its bobo already honked?
