Aerosmith 'Rocks' - the first punk-dub album?

the guitar solos on "nobody's fault"... hell "nobody's fault" on its own is just ridiculous. and "sick as a dog" is punk as fuck, imo

i think i said this in the other rocks thread but imo you can hear r.e.m. being born in "sick as a dog"

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.

my brother went to this show. it was the rock event of his summer.

Not cheap!

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.)

1978

yeah, '78. my dad took him. but would my dad take me to see maiden and priest in new haven in 1982? noooooooooo.....

Just lost an evening to that '77 show upthread.

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.
