Anybody who knows anything knows how great Steven Tyler is.

[@lorigibbs2379]

great great!

[@Crashbandistew32]

hes a musical god

[@Nicholemccready]

I know this was a tribute to Paul McCartney, arguably one of the best songwriters, guitar players, singers of all time… But I can’t help but think how underrated Steven Tyler has always been. Aerosmith is one of the greatest American rock bands and his voice is incomparable. This tribute, and a few others that he’s done on the Kennedy Center s show how freaking talented this man is.

[@patmctallica3522]

....in Europe maybe! Me, as a DJ in Vienna, never had problems to put on Aerosmith!

underrated? I don't think so... he is one of the industry greats

[@barrylambe2266]

Take out arguably one of and I fully agree with you.

[@matthewnoble5284]

Steven Tyler is arguably the most gifted vocalist still alive. He’s lucky to be alive lol. He’s amazing.

[@niputaideaqueponer]

you said it all right

[@shonii119]

i believe he quit smoking quite some time ago because it was affecting his voice and ability to hit the higher notes.

Seeing the joy on McCartney's face and seeing him hold back his tears is all the proof you need that Steven Tyler did extremely well here.

This is what it sounds like when one living legend pays tribute to another... ☮️

I'd hardly place them in the same category. Paul McCartney is THE living legend in music. Steven Tyler is a rockstar, but also a former junkie whose music career fizzled. They're not even in the same stratosphere.

[@JulioLeonFandinho]

Aerosmith covered 3 Beatles songs, Come Together, Helter Skelter and I'm Down... Tyler grew up breathing The Beatles, The Yardbirds, The Kinks... listen to the singles he recorded with his pre-Aerosmith band Chain Reaction, it's British pop/rock from head to toe. Of course he nailed The Beatles

[@alejandroangeles8587]

1:11 I love that moment. When he starts to sing Golden slumbers (which is a song that every hardcore beatle's fan loves)... That scream after the first phrase it's Steven, the fanboy, reminding himself he is singing the last track of the last Beatles album... in front of Sir Paul McCartney. In that moment, Steven reminds us, that he is just another fan that loves the music of the Beatles. He has said that he is a musician because of the Beatles. Joe Perry too.

[@Pitmanmeetandgreet]

No one else could have done that song(s) more justice than Sir Paul himself

I think Oprah should have her ass behind Paul, not his wife. I met Oprah before she decided to try to run our Country... she was Salt of the Earth.
