2017 TEC Awards Joe Perry and the Hollywood Vampires Perform Combination

Joe Perry along with the Hollywood Vampires (Johnny Depp, Robert DeLeo, Glen Sobel and Brad Whitford) perform "Combination" live at the 2017 NAMM TEC Awards held at The NAMM Show in Anaheim, CA.

[@coachNewman17]

Rocks will always be the pinnacle for Aerosmith. Such a perfect hard rock album. Every song on that album is amazing. Combination is easily my all-time favorite Aerosmith song.

[@DCB728]

"Rocks" is their finest, no doubt. Not many could touch Aerosmith in 1976.

[@groundhogday7782]

Love that Whitford is on this.

[@mikecannon6378]

Whitford, best rythym player ever

[@DCB728]

And one of the best lead players!

[@chrisquinn9104]

Last Child Solo

[@BryanX64]

One of my all time favorite Aerosmith songs from one of my all time favorite albums.

[@thetownspeople6486]

Nobody could come up with kick ass riffs like Joe Perry. He is right up there with Iommi and the Slash took the torch from Joe but Joe continued to keep riffing. Great guitarist. One of my all time favorites

[@imikewillrockyou]

When I was a kid I had all those Aerosmith records, loved this song. At that time I didn't appreciate what a great singer Steven was because all I could hear is Joe's guitar playing. He's the reason I learned to play guitar, he was my guitar hero. My first song was Dream On. I'm still dreaming and have had a lot of fun playing guitar over the years. It was very cool to hear Joe sing lead on this song back then too, and even more cool to hear him again all these years later. Thanks Joe!

[@anth495]

Good to keep the dream alive and have fun !

[@lorirarich1875]

such goodclyrics then i almost wonder even tho he is just as good a guitarist what if Keiths voice were singing this..hes got a nice voice yet not Aerosmith. When someone is that good as Joe, it gets yu thinking Just great great...

[@timmothymonaghan5236]

MR WHITFORD N JOE GOD BLESS

[@mialapierre3231]

I could listen to Joe and Brad play all night long. I'm not too crazy about Joe singing, only because he doesn't have range. But, I still enjoyed this video.

[@SuperBroncosguy]

Yeah man, it's like Tyler playing a guitar lead. It wouldn't quite work. I'm afraid it would sound like me. I've been playing since March. Leave the vocals to Tyler.

[@Johnnydragon360]

Joe Perry are a amazing guitar player congrats to you Joe Perry 🤘♪♫♩🎤🎸

Outrageous!

[@mudus69]

I like this very cool Joe

[@umangu]

Joe's doing an admirable job on vocals without any backup, really clear recording, vocals and guitar parts.

[@dantwomey4215]

I agree. He knows he's gonna get criticized. But its honest, and real. Lyrically, musically as good as any rock song ever wrutten. No wonder this guy was a million kids' hero. He was just the balls.

[@deandee8082]

considering its a harmony, I think this was just a sound check? Steves in the green room lighting incense, rubbing buddha's balls, and drinking licorice tea getting his mojo right...

[@umangu]

@@deandee8082 What are you talking about man, it's an awards ceremony with a full audience in clear view! Plus it's a Vampires show not Aerosmith, so no Steven anywhere in the vicinity!

[@Narpets2112]

lol, admiral job? He simply can't sing.

[@DCB728]

Perry's vocals are perfectly fine! It's his song. Depp doesn't belong on a stage with Joe and Brad.

my favorite Aerosmith song. fucking awesome

[@giacarlaandreassy5475]

❤️

[@TropicalLoomsrl]

I actually don’t mind Joes voice, it’s a more bluesy kind of style. I think it works well for combination. Imagine him singing Falling Off now though. I wonder

[@toddlavigne6441]

Without Tyler this version just doesn't work. It's brilliant how Tyler knew how to polish it up to it's full potential. The version on Rocks is amazing

[@thomascrown5953]

@@toddlavigne6441 Agreed. The band sounds good but Joe needs help on vocals for this to work.

[@emptyslot5524]

[@TheMinorFallsTheMajorLifts]

That’s what it looks like when Abe Lincoln saws on a Les Paul. And I mean that in a good way. What a national treasure Joe Perry is.

[@abrazalves]

The group of Hollywood vampires is unique by their guitar different tones. Joe Perry is very good as the leading guitar... together with Johnny Depp and the other combibation of guitarists and the ensemble is fenoumenal sounds

[@hollywood4241]

Joe f'n Perry.... This song in my opinion is Aerosmith's best song ever. Joe Perry's chops are legendary especially in this tune.

[@sandrinerousseau6579]

👍👍👍👍‼️

I think I'll just listen to Rocks.....

This is one of Aerosmith's best songs. Joe gets help from Steven on Rocks.

[@DCB728]

Joe fuckin Perry! With Mr. Whitford in the house!

[@Narpets2112]

This is my favorite Aerosmith song. How I wish Joe would let an actual singer have the honors.

What are they playing before combination?????? Please someone????

[@brucedavisjr5269]

Joe perry is good playing boogie man and can sing combination

[@dynjarren7523]

I like how Sinbad gives him proper respect as a Rock Star, a dying breed. There are only a few real ones left! They’re like the Siberian 🐅 Tiger. Rare and if you see one you’ve seen something special. Joe Perry, Keith Richards and a few others. But they are getting rarer than Hens Teeth! God, I love this song! It’s a deep cut from Rocks! One of the Greatest Hard Rock albums of all times! I don’t care that he’s not a great singer! It’s a great song! I forgot my name! And the Great Brad Whitfield who is so understated that he doesn’t get half the credit he deserves. They are great together and always were. Now Johnny Depp? I like him. Excellent Actor! What he’s doing on this stage, I’m not entirely sure about. Living the Rock Star Fantasy out, maybe? I tell you he’s much closer to it than you or I will ever get! He’s on stage jamming at least. I’m not going to say anything negative! Rock on, Johnny! Go for it!

there's a reason why tyler sings lead vocals 99% of the time.

Steven helps out on the original version on Rocks.

[@michawiechowski6275]

Yep...

[@AnthonyBurrito1313]

@@joebecht5554 Steven sings the harmony Joe sings the lead and sings it fucking great. I can't imagine anyone else singing it better.

[@mikecooper8462]

Joe sang this song and Bright Light Fright (Draw The Line). Both are great tunes.

[@impalaman9707]

Same reason David Lee Roth sings instead of Eddie Van Halen, Gregg Rolie sang instead of Carlos Santana, Robert Plant sings instead of Jimmy Page, and why Ted Nugent SHOULD have someone else always singing for him! Guitar virtuosos may write great riffs, but they need someone who can sing to convey their ideas--and guitar heroes are usually bad singers

[@iklimhunianrumahbordil9375]

the black joe has looks better than the gold one gibson sell

[@elizabethsue3431]

Joe and Brad make the band! Johnny Depp now a rock and roll guitar player and good enough to play with Joe..... no but he probably is payin for playin. Need Mr. Tyler on the vocals and Joey on drums... but hey if they are havin fun, it’s a play!! They ain’t Aerosmith.

[@deandee8082]

Joe is a fuggen rock star, people don't talk about him much in the category butman he wa playing shit back in the early 70's no one was playing and it sounded GOOD too, kramer, whitford hamilton and tyler, FUGG MAn I was blown away, I think get your wings came out? 73, 74? man... fellas how bout some back up V man? leave Joe hangin like that, rutheless

Joe is still King.. everyone else is speaking a slightly different language

[@carson5108]

All you guys who are criticizing Joe y’all know he didn’t even sing a lot in his prime. Now you expect him to sound great as an old man who barely sings

[@Marine_Ret]

Is Depp’s guitar even plugged in?

[@robertiaccarino4363]

right?

[@JulioLeonFandinho]

Bob C I hope not

[@impalaman9707]

Its for show. Much like Elvis Presley's guitar, Donnie Van Zant from 38 Special, and Kevin Cronin from REO Speedwagon. Just a prop to make them "look" like they're playing, but actually other guitarists are doing the work

[@impalaman9707]

@Nelson Robert Willis I never said KC was a bad guitarist--I just could never hear him over the thunder coming from the right of him onstage! Like his guitar wasn't plugged in at all, and he was just going through the motions out there with the guitar in his hands, because Gary was doing all the work for him

[@impalaman9707]

@Nelson Robert Willis But obviously you don't disagree with my assessment of Donnie Van Zant. He had two other guitarists doing all the work--38 Special always looked like a crowd of bikers on stage (two bass players, two drummers, three guitarists, etc)

[@toddlavigne6441]

it's Steven Tyler's harmonies that make this song work on Rocks, without them the song just doesn't have the same energy and vibe

[@4440ch]

needs some vocal drive but one of their better songs

[@lancelotlink6545]

I should audition for these guys. They don't have enough guitarists.

[@erichaheidrich4593]

Boogie Man from Get a Grip

[@JohnSmith-zl8rz]

Deep is just a poser.

[@MarvDawk]

No multi track Stephen soooooo

[@b.i.g.brothersinguitars249]

Don't tell me that Johny Depp is on stage pretending playing his expensive Les Paul???

[@impalaman9707]

I think Joe Perry is giving us a 1975-76 "twofer" here--the first melody sounds like "Uncle Salty" from "Toys", and then he launches into "Combination" from "Rocks". Both filler from the respective albums, and pretty inventive the way he put the two together, but its a treat you won't see Aerosmith have anywhere near their live set lists

[@ericknorthrop]

The first song he did was the instrumental off of “Get a Grip” called Boogyman, great instrumental.

[@JulioLeonFandinho]

you got wrong the first one and then called Combination a "filler" certified loser 🤡🤡💩💩

[@darquestarr]

Johnny brings Sylvain to mind, visually.

[@jeromealexandre4162]

Absolutely - he was a mega dolls fan- I played bass for Sylvain on a one off tour and he told me he saw Depp at a lot of the Dolls reunion gigs .

[@JulioLeonFandinho]

And that's about it

[@GaryRubinstein]

Johnny Depp taking the lazy approach at actually playing this song...

[@robinmorris5416]

If Gibson ever gives Johnny Depp his own signature guitar, I'm gonna snap! Why does he look like he's in severe pain!? Now, if he'd do another pirates of the Caribbean, I'd be the first to go see it. If Joe and Brad were onstage with Steven Tyler, I'd be the 1st in line to see them. But this, this is just a sad ol travesty.

[@gabevachon326]

Joe...Babe...Boobalah....you ain't a lead singer on this one. Never have been. You wrote it...can't sing it. And you look bad here. Get some sleep. Call Steven. He'll make you a health shake. These kids today....

[@impalaman9707]

I find most great lead guitarists make horrible lead singers. Have you ever heard Jimmy Page sing? You probably don't want to! Same with Eddie Van Halen, Carlos Santana, Keith Richards, Jeff Beck. There are a few exceptions--I've actually seen Neal Schon from Journey sing with Jan Hammer, not too shabby. But by and large, they write the riffs, and they just need let their guitars do the singing!

[@impalaman9707]

@Nelson Robert Willis I always thought Donald Roeser was Latino--he reminds me of Cheech Marin. Speak of REO Speedwagon, you also don't want to hear Gary Richrath sing! I did out of curiosity, one of the deep cuts on the "Ride In The Storm Out" LP (yuck!) However, Neal Schon from Journey is surprisingly good, heard his work with Jan Hammer--makes me wonder why he never sang lead before!

[@impalaman9707]

@Nelson Robert Willis kzbin.info/www/bejne/bn-9kImgmsl5n6c To me his singing is like an out of tune Leif Garrett. When I bought the album back in 1981, it was the first track I went to because on the back it said "vocal by Gary". And I said, "hmm, never heard him sing before. I wonder what he sounds like?". Then I realized why he never sang again. I didn't know about the other songs he sang from the Mike Murphy-era, and that's another sore subject. I don't know what they were high on when they brought in that loser after Kevin left the first time. His croaky voice was so bad, no wonder Gary had to rescue him! I think they realized the charisma they lost when Kevin left, and they had to go back and listen to that second album, and realize the formula for success was right there in 1972, but you notice you never heard from Mike Murphy again, and he ain't that country singer with the same name, either!

[@orionasgardzero7793]
