FIRST TIME HEARING AEROSMITH "DREAM ON"

[@Paladin70]

These bands are so entrenched in our old minds that it blows me away when I hear of so many in your generation who have really never heard of so many legendary performers. “The dude” is Steven Tyler, father of the actress Liv Tyler, and he was known for hitting the heights with his voice. Now, 53 years after forming in 1970, they are still touring and bringing it hard too. Check out Walk This Way and Dude Looks Like A Lady for some strong rock and, to hear their softer side, check out their first Number 1 hit Don’t Want To Miss A Thing.

[@LiLiJo]

The first time the words “kids these days” came out of my mouth I was shocked. I don’t think any music group could consistently fill a stadium like a great rock band.

[@andirandolph8830]

I’ve been a huge fan of Aerosmith for decades, and it still really bothers me that I Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing is their #1 hit when they have SO many masterpieces far above it.

[@amyaeschbach3581]

Have you never played guitar hero????? Whole Aerosmith albums made for the game! Such a poor poor video to see Steve Tyler and as an into to Aerosmith! Watch videos! Don’t wanna miss a thing, crazy, love in an elevator, Janie’s got a Gun and 40+ more!!!!

[@pttp5509]

In the early 70’s, Aerosmith was a local band here in Boston. One of my best music memories was dancing to Dream On so close to Steve Tyler that I could touch him from the dance floor. Their popularity exploded soon after and I’m sure they didn’t play any more small clubs - we paid a $2 cover charge at the time!!

[@stevedahlberg8680]

I bet that was magical.

[@susanlindner8626]

Steven Tyler wrote this song when he was 14 years old... it was released by their first album in 1973. Steven Tyler is the singer, Joe Perry on lead guitar, Brad Whitford on rhythm guitar, Tom Hamilton on bass guitar and Joey Kramer on drums.

[@mikefetterman6782]

I saw Aerosmith in concert (1994 Woodstock 25th anniversary). Earlier in the night we saw Metallica, Nine inch Nails, and Crosby Stills and Nash. Aerosmith was the star of the weekend.

[@mamakat114]

Those are our Bad Boys from Boston. We love them

[@EdithCardellini]

We need more Aerosmith reactions! Their music videos are bomb too. Definitely worth a watch and a listen. -Cryin' -Janie's Got A Gun -Hole In My Soul -The Other Side -I Don't Want To Miss A Thing

[@gingergaia]

Steven Tyler's voice is unreal ,the talent in Aerosmith superb. Rabbit hole please.

[@tommythompson9565]

Aerosmith is pure good ol' rock and roll. Their catalog is filled with great songs. Steven Tyler had the voice. He sounds pretty good here. You should listen to the original album version, if you haven't already. Tyler did look somewhat similar to Mick Jagger. Both had big mouths. But they both could sing.

[@rembrandt972ify]

Well, Tyler could anyway.

[@yelljal2764]

They are doing their farewell tour this and next year and have a massive concert on new years eve in Boston, where it all started. Tickets haven't even gone on sale yet (they are out tomorrow I believe) and start at $200 a piece. People would pay an arm and a leg just to see them live for one final time.

[@brianmcdonald7520]

before they were famous my brother used to hang out with them, he was in country and western bands in and around Boston early 70's that's what i always heard unfortunately he is gone now.

[@kathyblackwell4108]

I know I would!!! Steven is the best!!!

[@kathyblackwell4108]

Just the best band ever! And he still dresses' like that when he is on stage! Steven has an amazing voice!!

[@elizabethfranco1284]

Formed in Boston in 1970 ,been rocking for 53 years with a few changes in lineup but led by one of the supreme front men in history Steven Tyler. We don’t know how you never heard of them either Michael. His daughter Liv Tyler is an actress who was in the Lord of the Ring trilogy and Armageddon with Ben Affleck and Bruce Willis.

[@pttp5509]

Oops - forgot. To hear early rockin’ Aerosmith you really should react to Walk This Way or Dude. They also did a fun duet/video of Walk This Way with Run DMC

[@user-osidelittlesamoa]

OMG… This is one of my favorite… Classic…Will forever be legendary 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. You should listen to Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd

[@debbiepochy6751]

It still shocks me that someone does know Steven Tyler and this legendary group! Guess it means I am old, LOL!! I would suggest you listen to the studio version that we all heard back in the day, this live performance does not do it justice. Also, react to their huge hit "Walk this Way". After you do that first, there is a really fun video of them doing that song with RUN DMC, an early rap group. It was played all the time on MTV back in the day! 😊

[@LiLiJo]

Can you imagine doing this night after night in stadiums full of people? The energy and expectations you have to deliver had to be incredible.

[@MarySiddell]

YES! Love Arrowsmith!

[@xCodeXANA]

Chills EVERY time I hear his voice.

[@donnamoskowitz4978]

70s' Rock Baby!!! I graduated high school in 1976 and this was our class song played at graduation! I would have preferred a different video or studio version myself but you are a "newbie" so all is forgiven!!! Love your channel!!!!!

[@terri2494]

I was surprised that Michael was impressed by his voice because you could barely hear it in this video. From the beginning of it I was wondering if Steven Tyler was. . . hmm . . . under some kind of influence during this performance. I’ve seen other videos of them in concert and he’s usually much more energetic and his voice is so much stronger. Michael definitely needs to hear the studio version or watch a different performance video, but I wouldn’t know which ones to recommend.

[@donnamoskowitz4978]

@@terri2494 I agree.

[@tonylansdale9896]

My wife and I went to see them in 2015 and weren't expecting Steven to sound as good as he did. They rocked.

[@TheZeyre]

That guitar is killer! Great song! Your reaction is just perfect!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@wendywoodruff2871]

Big ❤️ for Aerosmith music. Then Wayne's World showed us how fun they are. "We're not worthy!"

[@HRConsultant_Jeff]

70's 80's 90's 2000's including songs for movies like Armageddon.

[@jeannieschmidt2217]

I actually prefer the studio version - it's much more polished and powerful. Everything shines through just a little more. It's worth a listen on your own time :). But it's still a great song - and you have a taste of what they're like. Steven Tyler is just an icon unto himself. If you're going down this road you MUST watch the OFFICIAL video for Walk This Way - with Aerosmith and Run DMC. And the video for I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing - really shows off his vocals. Cheers from Canada! :)

[@DennisBraspenninx]

My wife and I took our sons to their first concert when they were in 6th and 8th grade. Aerosmith. Was a sensory overload experience for them. Their "Toys in the Attic" or "Uncle Salty" would be good follow ups.

[@gigantor62]

You can't go wrong with Aerosmith....nice reaction.

[@kristinabushnell3652]

More Aerosmith!! Great reaction!! 🙂

[@1927su]

When I was in 8th ( yes the 1970’s!) grade, Aerosmith was, and still is, one of my favorite bands!

[@paulinesmith6553]

Spring 1983 in Orlando Florida outdoor on a football field with Journey, Aerosmith, Sammy Hager, and I think Bryan Adams. We had every weather phenomenon imaginable. Lots of delays. Best day ever.

[@gailsgig]

One of the FINEST!!! Still working…amazing!

[@streips]

Aw, you young whippersnapper! I'm 62, and I have known who Steven Tyler is for a long, long time. Welcome to the club, dude!

[@cooperstonebadge2228]

aerosmith deserves an album by album deep dive maybe someone will do one someday

[@arlenem6659]

Aerosmith was so hot in the seventies. I saw them at the forum in LA in 1977 or 78. Such a great song

[@patclinker6587]

Wow, I remember dancing to this song at parties during college. SO fantastic!!!

[@seleenahayes7799]

I'd love to see what you think of an awesome Aerosmith song that currently has 556,931,978 views. The official "I don't want to miss a thing" video 👍 I know you probably have heaps of requests but I'll keep an eye out anyway. Thanks for the positivity Michael. When things are a bit tough it's a real tonic to see your genuine smile and cheerful attitude 😊

[@michaelwduffy]

Thank you so much!!! I’ll definitely try and get that done for you seleena!!

[@deepalkessa8938]

Been watching u react for a while now and ur so passionate about music, the energy and way u analyze it. Perhaps if ppl like u were in charge of music mainstream corp we'd have music like this in the mainstream as well. Keep up the great work.❤😊

[@aliciafoster4771]

This is a live performance and they probably sang this toward the end of the concert because his voice sounds pretty well spent. I actually love this version for that very reason. It’s truly authentic. But you may want to listen to the studio recording where his voice is relatively fresh. I say “relatively” because I have no idea how many takes there were before they were satisfied with the final production. He reaches incredible heights.

[@dollcf6722]

Check out his live performance with Carrie Underwood at a CMT awards.

[@KaylaYeager-mz5sd]

Demon of screaming

[@glenndespres5317]

And you reacted to a performance where Tyler was not in his best voice. Give the studio version a listen. His screams were iconic. A 70’s Boston Badboy Band.

[@heidibrown342]

When you did not know of Aerosmith or Dream On with is their anthem, I was so shocked. How is that possible They are one of the very best rock groups ever. over 50 years and going strong. "back in the day" Steven and Joe were dubbed "the toxic twins", a title well deserved. Much of their early work was done under the influence. They all cleaned up and started the second phase of their career with the albums Permanent Vaction and Pump (my personal fav). Steven has earned the title of The Demon of Screamin'. His scream is unmistakable. Listen for it in each song. Where to start with them.... JANIE'S GOT A GUN , phenominal song and very powerful. The video they shot for it is also very powerful. They won awards for this one. They donated the proceeds to build and fund several women's shelters called Janie's House. I DON'T WANT TO MISS A THING was done for the movie Armegeddon which Steven's daughter starred in. Some other notables in my opinion: WHAT IT TAKES, RAG DOLL, ANGEL, the list just goes on and on but this would be a good start to their rabbit hole

[@arturnienartowicz7213]

I know for a fact that 45 years after that song's debut Steven sang it no worse than before: pitch perfect, powerful, dynamic -- a-fucking-mazing!

[@reverts3031]

[@sherylhenley1931]

I loved your reaction. I hope that for your own pleasure, you will listen to the studio version with the lyrics. The lyrics themselves are amazing! I am told that Steven Tyler wrote them when he was 14 and the song was released when he was 20. Not sure about that exactly, but they are incredible!

[@beachside1]

I saw Aerosmith in 1977 at the New Haven Veterans Memorial Colosseum. Think it was like Dec. I think I remember most of it hehe

[@bahamutskingdom]

Aerosmith.....one of the greatest rock bands out there. Younger folks might know this song from when Eminem sampled it for his "Sing for the Moment" in the early 2000's. (Steven Tyler-lead singer) performed his part at Eminem's R&R induction) Sing for The Moment Janie's Got a Gun Angel Walk This Way (Also with Run DMC) Eat The Rich Mamma Kin Crazy Pink Jaded I could literally go on for the 50+ years they have been making hits. Side note - Mick Jagger is related to Steven Tyler. Liv Tyler (Aowyn in LOTR) is his beautiful daughter. From the 70s through the 80s, 90s, and 00s.....they banged the room.

[@doragiusto4415]

Listen to Steelheart "She's Gone" if you want to get a full appreciation for the sound "big hair" bands could produce and as for Steven Tyler, he was a vocal god in his youth.

This is a Great song, but this audio on this video kind of sucked, check out a better quality video, or just the audio ...... also check out - Mama Kin - Chip Away at the Stone - Toys in the Attic - Sweet Emotion - Back in the Saddle

M D. I am glad you finally found the American "Led Zeppelin", Our ROCK & Roll Gods, both bands. Album version's would be your best start with any NEW band. This was on the Very First Aerosmith album. Simply titled AEROSMITH. The whole album will shock you. Make It, Is the first song, It grabs your attention, next is Somebody, It is a carry over cut. Next in line is this Song. This is an ANTHEM Song for us around back in the "HIPPIE" era. Other comments will direct you to the top 40 songs of this band, If you like AEROSMITH, I suggest wait and avoid those requests until the first 3 albums are played through. Back in the day we didn't just settle for one song, we had to listen to the whole album and pick-out our favorite cuts. The Toxic twins were really high in this video. The sound is terrible, as most Live Aerosmith video's are. I've been a FAN for over 50 years. I am old, but because of this music, I am way younger than you are! BTW What's up with the "HELLMANS"?

[@golfr-kg9ss]

I see from the comments that a lot of people have told you about Steven Tyler. He had an daughter Liv. You might have seen her in Lord of the Rings as "Arwen" the main female elf and

[@yvonnephillips3888]

She was nearly grown when Liv Tyler, the actress, found out that the lead singer, Steven Tyler, was her father. Might be wrong, but I don't think he knew about her until then.

[@terri2494]

During the ending credits of “Armageddon” they play “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” with clips from the movie and Steven Tyler singing, and in some places they show him instead of Bruce Willis, who played her father in the movie. Very well done. I just looked it up and realized it came out in 1998. That’s twenty five years ago! 🤦‍♀

[@mercury3030]

Liv Tyler was 8 years when they told her at an Aerosmith concert that Steven Tyler is her real dad. Still a child.

The studio release is better because Steve sounds hoarse in this one. Our local rock station had a contest last week. The caller who could scream the most like Steven Tyler won tickets to some show being promoted. You reacted to Iam Tongi from American Idol this week. You might be interested to know that Steven Tyler was a judge on the show in 2010 and 2011. He was funny as hell and made for some memorable moments.
