Steven Tyler (lead vocals), Joe Perry (lead guitar), Brad Whitford (guitar), Tom Hamilton (bass), Joey Kramer (drums)

So the title is actually the line of a hot girl from the Love in an Elevator video. It is adressed to our beloved rock singer Steven Tyler.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM! My first image/memory of Steven Tyler doing a cartwheel on a pool table and dancing around in the video of Sweet Emotion. If you do force me to choose, it is my fav. Aerosmith song. A second close might just be Walk This Way- ( the version with RUN DMC) and the way Steven just pulls his head through the wall and sings-the way he dances…just gets me every time. It is so them: so rock,so glam and such a wicked sense of humor…Just the way I like it. Over the years I collected a lot of their albums and sadly admit that didn’t have the chance to see them live yet. It is one of my rock n’ roll ambitions- to see them on stage before they are dead. (With people you never know when& how they will go-but of course with musicians it gets trickier: look at M.Jackson and Michael Hutchence of INXS).

I prefer them over Rolling Stones. I am a big fan of Steven’s vocals and Perry’s guitar. It was such a great moment when MTV awarded them with lifetime achievement award and the award was presented to them by Ulrich and Hetfield of Metallica. They talked about how they adored the band and how their walls were covered with the band’s posters. I have always had this respect for Metallica, even though I don’t like all of their songs. So I thought it was meaningful for the audience, James & Lars and Aerosmith all together.

Aerosmith is one of the reasons why I wish I could have been born in the late 70s. By the time, I started listening to glam, it was almost over. So people have treated me as this strange girl with this strange music taste. But I can’t understand how one can find them any less then amazing. One friend commented their songs could be boring- and it was one of their oldest and best. Obviously I am questioning her taste.

Aerosmith lyrics are perfect. They can be funny, romantic, sexy, ambitious or a combination of these. Morever, you can just dance your butt of to them. Here’s a sample from Love in an Elevator,just to get you nostalgic and in the groove.

“Workin’ like a dog fo de boss man, Workin’ for de company-

I’m bettin’ on the dice I’m tossin’ I’m gonna have a fantasy

But where am I gonna look?, They tell me that love is blind, I really need a girl like an open book-
to read between the lines

Love in an elevator- Livin’ it up when I’m goin’ down- Love in an elevator- Lovin’ it up ’til I hit the ground

Here is the video.

Their videos are brilliant. Each one is like a perfect little movie on its own. Do you remember Amazing- Alicia Silverstone and Stephen Dorff in it? How about Crazy- It features Liv Tyler ( Steven’s very own daughter and A. Silverstone). Hole in my soul was brilliant with the geek scientist trying to create the perfect woman..) Liv and Alicia just this incredible standard for beauty in the 90s.

The story is Steven didn’t know he had a daughter until she was 8 and her mom took her to a concert. He also says he knew she was his the moment he laid eyes on her. Some people keep wondering how such a guy had a child this pretty- I actually think she does take after him. Just look at the mouth. All the she might be a tad bit prettier than him. 😉 Oh and here are some images from the Crazy video:

So I grew up listening to these amazing guitar riffs and feeding on rock n’ roll.

Well, it is only appropriate to leave with the video that got me hooked in the first place…

Enjoy Sweet Emotion
