And they have been on top of the charts ever since. The guitarists returned in 1984 and soon after, Aerosmith was back in the saddle again.
The early ‘80s were rockier times, with Perry and Whitford temporarily leaving the Aero fold to pursue solo projects. This dual skill set gave the band a string of gold and platinum albums, including Get Your Wings, Toys in the Attic and Rocks. Beyond driving rock and roll tunes, Aerosmith created quintessential power ballads such as Dream On. Tyler’s lyrics laced with double entendres and witty humor perfectly complimented by the entire group cool urban charisma. Enter Aerosmith with a sexy swagger and thrusts ofmetal, glam and boogie woogie. Rewind for a minute to the early ‘70s, when the phrase “sex, drugs and rock & roll” was a rebellious teenager. They’ve outdone the trends and fads of rock and roll to become one of the most powerful and electrifying forces in popular music. Huge! Steven Tyler on vocals, Joe Perry and Brad Whitford on guitars, Tom Hamilton on bass, and Joey Kramer on drums. Think for a second about how big a number that is and how many people have heard their music. They are a phenomenon, a force of nature, trail-blazing, unstoppable, showing no signs of slowing down.Unique even among the select handful of rock bands who are still active after their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, Aerosmith has sold over 100 million albums. The band members are legends, icons and idols, dynamic in the present as cool and innovative now as they were thirty years ago. How do you reconcile a generation-spanning word like icon with the quick beat of the present? Aerosmith does it. But what these reverent words are missing is the notion of now. These are the words used to describe those rare bands that have been adored for a lifetime and immortalized as distinct creators of rock and roll.
