AEROSMITH "DREAM ON" REACTION | Asia and BJ

[@MrPazzerz]

This song was actually released twice. First time it didn't get any recognition, but I remember hearing it once on the radio.

[@skins28dg]

This is one of the greatest songs ever written. It is impossible for me to hear this song and not get an emotional response. Steven Tyler's voice sounded a little different in those early days.

[@adamshelby975]

Before the cocaine.

[@miguelpereirasilva7662]

True

[@alexakl6445]

Yes, well, over the years with all of the loud singing and the loud scream he sometimes does along with the abuse to the body that he used to do, it's changed his voice to not as clear, but rougher... but that's okay, it suits him too. : )

[@RossIsFine]

All that screaming changed his vocals. Same thing happens to all singers if you scratch your vocal cords like that. Worst is those whistles, like Mariah Carey. She's known for it ans now suffers from it.

[@alexakl6445]

@@RossIsFine Yes, Mariah could hit the highest notes possible. I didn't realize her voice was damaged - wow, sad.

[@marshall4me2]

Steven Tyler wrote this song when he was 16 and it never got played until Aerosmith needed a last song for the album that they were making so Steven said that he had written a song years earlier but he never really finished it completely so he and the band completed the song with less than a day and it has turned out to one of their greatest songs.

[@chrisw3421]

"Dream On" was first played live in Mansfield, Connecticut, at the Shaboo Inn.[6][unreliable source] In a 2011 interview, Tyler reminisced about his father, a Juilliard-trained musician. He recalled lying beneath his dad's piano as a three-year-old listening to him play classical music. "That's where I got that Dream On chordage", he said. Lyrical composition was completed when Steven was 14 years old.[7]

This is the best song ( for me) from aerosmith.

[@YesMyTatsAreReal]

It's crazy how that happens. Sabbath's Paranoid was written because the band thought they needed one more song for the album. Then it goes on to become the title track and one of their biggest hits.

They played in my school gym when this came out in 1973. No stage, no light show, just under the basketball goal. I was so blown away that night that I see it like a video in my head.

[@kellyjohnson3617]

What I love about this song is that it’s not monotonous. Lots of interesting chord changes, tempo changes, key changes. It’s a very musically complex song and he uses his voice as an instrument. The fact that he wrote this at age 17 snd had such musical maturity at that age is amazing. It’s one reason I don’t care for a lot of todays music cuz it’s over produced and is super predictable and not complex at all.

[@adamfanalways]

[@LoveBandit1000]

This was played at my brother's memorial. He was killed 10-08-1990 during Desert Shield. He was killed with 7 other men and they were never found. Today is Memorial Day and like most days, I am thinking of him and the others that died that day.

[@andanchazrett]

I am so sorry for your loss. Your brother and the others were true heroes. I will say a special prayer for them and their families. God be with you❤

[@benshafer65]

This off of their first LP. Their early stuff (1st 4 LP's) are clearly their best, before they became much more pop/commercial in the 80's. This is their biggest early hit (1973). I would go for Sweet Emotion next, as I see you already hit Walk This Way. Cheers!

[@module79l28]

Reefer Head Woman is a killer song!

The reality is, once they got clean their music suffered, sad to say.

Aerosmith was one rock band that could play many types of music.

[@Agucci_1]

Love this song so much! One of my favorites growing up!!

[@poisonlady1965]

This is classic rock at it's best. Seeing it in concert is at yet even another level. I was fortunate to meet Steven Tyler at backstage experience many years ago...it was only for a moment but let me tell you it was a moment I will never forget.

[@Matthew-ATX]

My two favorite Aerosmith songs: *"Angel"* and *"What It Takes".* Great vocals on both of these tracks.

[@92Foxbody5.0]

"Sing For The Moment" is the Eminem song you're referring to with this song mixed in. And yes it was on the album The Eminem Show

[@brooklynmysticaldiva4729]

Aerosmith 🙌 🙌 🙌 Iconic!! Nothing else you can say about this group! Amazing amazing amazing!!

[@Mainecoonlady.]

They severely resented MTV and having to put a “Cartoon” to their music. I actually like their 80s stuff along with early stuff. Don’t be fooled. They were not clean in the 80s. I’ve seen them more times than I can recall. They were not clean most of the time. Now in the 2000s. Yes. But Steven especially was very sporadic. I don’t think the songwriting suffered. A successful band adapts to current music trends. They made history with Run DMC. Even today in his 70s, Steven delivers every time with the band and solo.

[@karenmandeville7116]

Steven Tyler said he used to keep pills in the scarf on his mic stand.

[@sandrar6063]

[@vicprovost2561]

Aerosmith is crazy good, saw them at least a dozen times and the first time they had just released the debut album. Try Sweet Emotion, Train Kept a Rolling , Walk This Way and Living On the Edge. You mentioned time as part of what this song is all about, if you want to take a ride on the ultimate song about time and it's passing, try Pink Floyd's Time from the classic and best selling album, Dark Side of the Moon. It will change what you think about time and music, they are phenominal! Enjoy. 😎

[@theNOVEMBERman1116]

Eminem sampled this song and used the course for his sing for the moment and yea it's from the eminem show. It's a great song y'all should check it if you haven't already

[@paulwicht6294]

Saw them at a small venue in NYC when I was 15 in ‘73. Sumner camp buddy from Boston got me into them. One of the best concerts I ever saw. NYC radio stations didn’t start playing it till ‘76. Never let on that it was 3 years old,. I knew it would make it to the NY market and also knew they wouldn’t mention it wasn’t new. Saw them at their MSG debut a few years later, but it didn’t match the earlier concert.

[@ersheetz2021]

Aerosmith was the best band by far in their first decade. It would not be a waste of time for young folks to check them out. The Get Your Wings album is a great place to start. Great reaction.

[@justme2]

2:41 ('you got to lose to know how to win') - Best line ever! She's right...it's about ageing.

[@bobschenkel7921]

The whole first album has an edgy, garage-band feel. Guitarist Joe Perry didn't like the tone of the album. But I do. Saw them for the first of ten times right after Toys In The Attic came out in 1975 and the last time in 2001. No doubt Steven Tyler's voice underwent some changes in that time. He did not have an easy life, and it shows. But the early days were magical.

[@Evieruff]

[@retrorabid6298]

The song starts off “every time that I look in the mirror, all these lines on my face getting clearer, and you hear the inhale. Next line is “the past is gone. Oh, it went by like dusk to dawn, isn’t that the way, everybody’s got their dues in life to pay”. The lines on his face is the coke on the mirror getting clearer as he is snorting them. He is watching time passing from dusk to dawn because of his coke habit and this is the due he is paying.

[@mariannegoldweber1577]

From the 70s to the 90s they made a huge comeback in the 90s after they dragged Steven Tyler the lead singer off of skid row as a heroin addict The early stuff is good but their second stuff is amazing. One of my favorites is Don't Want to Miss a Thing which was the soundtrack from the movie Armageddon. Janie's Got a Gun is about sexual abuse and Steven Tyler has since opened a safe house for Abused girls call Janie's house

[@andrealovelace7251]

One of the greatest rock hits of all time, nobody anywhere would argue. This whole debut album is alwesome. Check out the old-school rock radio hit "One Way Street" from the same album. Such a groove! What a hell of a lsiten!

[@wendydotson8891]

The other Aerosmith song you probably heard sampled was walk this way, run dmc and Aerosmith did a remake of this old Aerosmith song in the late 80’s and someone on here said they made their comeback in the 90’s but it was mid to late 80’s

I did get to see Garth Brooks this year though - at the new Allegiant stadium where the Raiders play and the sound system sucked. Parking was $100.00 - almost as much as two tickets - and they weren't then best seats - luckily I had seen Garth before in a much better setting with a better sound system.
