Zint Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 "it is a return to the 70's kick ass sound"I see that same hype before every new album comes out.I used to let myself believe it.I also gave up on the "new" Alice Cooper albums being a "return to the Billion Dollar Babies era".

Can't they just do what every other aged band does and remaster their discography around a new album, so they get money that way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kill Devil Hill Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I read somewhere that literally everyone was against the duet with Carrie except Steven. Such a shame. She doesn't do duets on any song that's below amazing (except maybe for some one-off live performance), so I trust Beautiful will be great. Maybe this was more of a below the surface issue, though. Like maybe they didn't know Carrie would be on it until the last possible second? I don't know.Either way, I'm looking forward to the album. I kinda like Legendary Child, but honestly, I wanna hear that duet more than anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are probably right mate but I can always hope and dream ..... In any case I have seen them over a dozen times over the years and never seen a bad show....looking forward to the Boston show this summer....

GivenToFly Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 They were such a phenomenal creative force at the time that they're still milking the Get A Grip sessions to this day. But with this song (Legendary Child) they're really scraping the bottom of the barrel. It would be one of the weaker tracks Just Push Play or Nine Lives. I don't doubt there will be some good songs on the album though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The album version isn't great in itself but it did provide the blueprint for the perfect show closer. It reaches a whole new level in concert. I've never been a fan of Rats, it's alright, nothing special to me. I like most of the songs on the first three albums and a handful off the next three but overall I'm not a big fan of their 70s music. I like it live though.

GivenToFly Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I still see Child and Warren and Frederiksen (where are Vallance and Supa?) so I'm certain it will be closer in sound to JPP than Draw The Line (the two extremes, I suppose, in their sound - and their fandom). The last album they put out were blues covers but they did it in their own style. It's what they do best imo: write blues and produce it as pop rock; plays to their strengths. I expect the same from this album. Plus a couple of pop power ballads. Just don't try rap or autotune or something like that, you're 60 years old.

The Real McCoy Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 Oh, right, there he is. Couldn't have been far I don't mind Russ Irwin being on there as a co-writer since he's the unofficial sixth member at this point.One of the two Marti songs either "Beautiful" or "Closer" is going to be the country duet w/ Carrie Underwood.The "Moir" who has a writing credit is apparently Brad"s guitar tech.I've heard that the Diane Warren song is going to be fairly epic in terms of lyrical content. I like seeing Whitford/Kramer/Hamilton getting their fair chances to write anything for the band for the first time in YEARS.Even Joey's son has a writing credit. That's pretty cool.

I don't understand people who keep waiting for an Aerosmith album that sounds like Rocks. It's like waiting for a GNR reunion - it's over, gone, not gonna happen, get over it. And it would sound completely out of place if it did happen. Can you imagine Steven Tyler in his pink and orange outfits, fresh off the American Idol sets, with his current voice singing something like Milk Cow Blues or Last Child without all of it seeming completely off? But then you have Pink and you hear it and it just fits. It's like "yeah, when he opened his mouth this is exactly the kind of song I expected to come out". Or Girls of Summer. They do the sleazy grampa thing way better than the junkie rockstar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
