DieselDaisy Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I remember one song i liked on Nine Lives, Taste of India I believe. The big single was very limp, Tyler singing about the colour pink!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Dog Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I liked a couple from Nine Lives. The Farm. Ain't that a Bitch. That's the last bit of Aerosmith I mess with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucketfoot Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I really like 'Falling In Love (Is Hard On The Knees)' from 'Nine Lives;, that was a good tune with a clever title/lyric. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to get played every now and then on the radio, I'd assume it's on their greatest hits? It felt special when I saw them live. Personally I'd call it great. Same Old Song and Dance and Back in the Saddle, that's a couple of tunes right there. What album was Same old song and dance on? Was it a single, I heard it on GH Live 2 or something.

It was on 'Get Your Wings' in 1974 I love 70s Aerosmith. I think that most of their albums sounded the same after 1987 when they came back. There's a few good songs but it doesn't hold a candle to their 70s stuff Edited June 23, 2017 by Gibson_Guy87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After checking though I just think GH Live was my first old Arrosmith album after Pump so it was Walk this Way, Saddle, Draw the Line, Dream on that suck out more and I saw Same old as not as big. Maybe like now if Guns had a Best of My Michelle might not be immeadiate as Jungle or Sweet Child. Edited June 23, 2017 by wasted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dream On was big in the mid 70's after it was rereleased in 76 The first 2 albums initially flopped and the band was in danger of losing their record contract. Dream on was rereleased in 76 and took off peaking at #6 which finally helped finally break the band big along with the Toys album....

wasted Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) Don't think Same Song and Dance was on Big Ones and that cd defined my life for a while. Finally, I have it, Let the Music Do the Talkin' is a song that I thought was big. Edited June 24, 2017 by wasted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a Joe Perry Project song that Joe wrote for his solo band after he left Aerosmith..........Steven wrote new lyics for and it was then recorded for Aerosmith's comeback album "Done with Mirrors" It was released as a single and peaked at #18...Great song and there is a great version from their 1994 Mama Kins gig...Here is the complete show and IMHO it is one of the best Aerosmith gigs post comeback............ Aerosmith opened a rock club across the street from Fenway Park in the mid 90's that held about 600 peole and played a show there which was broadcast on legenday but defunct Boston rock station WBCN I beleive...I went there but could not get tickets but the bars int he are were rockin so we partied in a local bar.........

I went to that club in the mid 90s when I went to Fenway for a Yankee/ Sox game. Right near the Cask n Flagon, if I recall? Yeah- Let the Music was the reunion single- hear that Axl? This was the best know song when Joe was gone. Maybe wasted is thinking of this? It's kind of forgotten and not that popular since no Joe, but I fuckin love this tune... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got a lot of songs like that, same way My Michelle and Brownstone are best of Guns. Their production had a certain feel too. Kinda low key and more raw than their later stuff.

That's cool, I wish I could have gone to the shows where Tyler was falling off the stage. This explains how I must have heard it on a Bestof and thought it was like a signature track. But it's more a b road. But still no 18 is alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No singles or hits or even classics, and it still would be a great cd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towelie Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 The trio of ballads on Get a Grip were epic. That high note at the end of Crazy is incredible! I know Aerosmith get a hard time for their 80s/90s ballads, but for the most part, they are brilliant songs. The only one I'm really not fussed on, strangely enough, is I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a big fan of the ballads but do like the post 1985 albums and songs like Monkey on My Back, Dude Looks Like a Lady, Love in an Elevator, Hangmans Jury etc.... Some great music on those Geffen era albums and I saw some great shows in the 80's and 90's from a sober Aerosmith....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitha_whiskey Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 I've seen from their set lists that they've been breaking this one out again on occasion. This is when they're at their best- just jamming on something they love to play. I watch this and think back to the greatest concert of my life- Appetite GnR opening for them on this tour. I saw this tour 3 times in 87-88, when I was 16/17... fuckin a those were great times... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicrawker Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) Yeah I saw them twice in Mansfield in 1988 with Guns opening but Axl's voice was shot and he was croaking when he sang.......still great shows and Aerosmith was playing well back then as they were sober and not so many ballads yet...........

Agreed totally. GAG is my favorite Aero album. Edge is amazing, so is Fever. That said, Im a fan of all their eras. 70s Aerosmith- No More No More is my favorite, Big Ten Inch, Train, Mama Kin... just so many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
