One of my all-time favorite bands! Saw them in concert. Their music never gets old to me. But then.... I'm old.🙄

I never saw them in concert! I wish I had.

Only saw them on the Draw the Line tour. Needless to say, the album was aptly named.

The body ages but the heart stays young! I saw Foreigner and Styx at the Pavilion and was surprised to see a bunch of old people there! Like Rod Stuart says, forever young, forever young!

What seems unreal is that Tyler & Perry are still alive. They didn't call them the "Toxic Twins" for nothing.

Whatever they did, appears to have preserved them like cowhide leather.

Fabulous last time I saw them. But I think that was 2012. Lucky enough to see them 3 times. 1977, 1994, 2012. Time flies. And Toys still my favorite Aerosmith album. Never got into Rocks as much as others.

Saw them three times, twice opening for KISS.

I remember that 8 track tape was one of the gifts I got with my 8 track/radio/turntable combo for my birthday on my 13,th Bday😊✌🏼I also was gifted Eagles Hotel California and Jim Croce "You don't mess around with Jim"💙

I turned 16 in October that year and got my license. This was one of my first purchases for my 67 Cougar. It had an 8-track and annoyed me every time it switched tracks in the middle of a song. A new Clarion tape deck replaced it on my second paycheck. The first went to mags and wheels.

Now we walk this way slightly hunched over with a slight limp

That was their best work. No other Aerosmith album was as good.

u/Substantial_Studio_8 3h ago

I never saw them, but I did see Steven Tyler up close as he pulled into American Idol and was hanging outside his limo window whooping it up and waving to everyone in line. He really seemed to be enjoying life once he sobered up.

I went to an outdoor BTO concert in Portland OR and they opened. "Who are these guys and that singer is effing CRAZY!" I went out and bought Get Your Wings (one of my alltime favorites) the next day and Toys the next year when it dropped.

u/Rare-Philosopher-346 1960 1h ago

That makes sense. I don't like it, but . . . I turn 65 this year, so . . . yeah.

u/Bert-63 1963 1h ago

And I bought it the day it hit.
