He is Perfect! Aerosmith - I Don't Want to Miss a Thing Reaction

[@pastorofmuppets13]

Steven has a whole bag full of vocal, performance, and life-related "Tyler-isms". The breathing thing, some specific screams he does, the scarves on the mic stand, and many stage mannerisms that are his alone. Off stage he is also a trip - he is 73 now and just always seems to have more fun than anybody else.

[@houkikker136]

The one thing wrong in your statement is about the scarfs, that was a common thing, because they were used as a static barrier to protect from being shocked from their sweaty hands grabbing the mic stand, because in those days most mics where still hard wired and they could get a static charge. That look became such a popular thing, that many of the singers in the eights even left them on the mic stand during their non-live videos.

[@_A_Boo]

@@houkikker136 the scarfs weren't they use to hide "stuff" to be easy to grab in between songs ?

[@oraclehaveacookie9737]

Love his music and still a beast, and still rolling sexy as hell at 73 🙄🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Maliceah]

Def Leppard has said they wanted to be the next Aerosmith.

[@lundworks9901]

My cousin got a concert microphone scarf & it's probably the best thing that ever happened to him.

[@vankesselable]

Liv Tyler, the daughter of Steven Tyler ( Vocals Aerosmith) plays in the movie Armageddon !!!! Peace dude ;-)

[@RLKmedic0315]

She was also Arwen in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

[@followthewhiterabbit1089]

She's allso my boyhood crush.

[@RLKmedic0315]

@@followthewhiterabbit1089 you and approximately 99% of all men at that time, lol. She was incredibly hot. Hell, she still is, but she had that extra oomph at that age.

[@LydiaTarine12]

Yes, and this song was inescapable for a while, which is probably why he's heard it before. XD

[@elizabethl1038]

The end of that movie when this song was playing, weeping I am not even ashamed lol

[@susanlaraia5986]

He is a living legend..... not many can still sing like that in their 70's...he is truly incredible. Love his talent.

[@melaniep7065]

This was written to express his feelings about being a father (Liv Tyler) who doesn't want to miss even one moment of her life. It is the song from Armageddon and she is in it.

[@waitaminute2015]

In his book, he explains that yes, it's a breathing technique because he uses his whole body to sing. He's exhausted after and needs a rest. That's called pouring out your heart and soul into every song .

[@oraclehaveacookie9737]

That makes him be, still in one piece at 73. Passion gives fortitud and inmortality

[@dianadurfey]

You got to remember Steven Tyler started singing way before all the sound effects they have nowadays. So he makes his own. I prefer his to the electric crap. He is a genius. He is in his 70s and still singing and sounds amazing.

[@aviatom1]

The crowd knows the song, word for word, note for note

[@sophiedash4026]

Janie's Got a Gun was one of their biggest hits and it has a powerful message. If you do get to react to that awesome bit of music, please watch the official video. It helps you get the full story. 😉

[@staytuned2L337]

Yeeeessssss!!!!! I'm going to look for it but I hope he checked it out! I was going to suggest it if I didn't see it in the comments here

[@Lets.Discuss.It.]

Great song. He opened Janie’s house for women who are victims of physical and sexual violence. He is actually an awesome man.

[@diamondflaw]

I loved that song in Not Another Teen Movie.

[@penelopejane5285]

I love that song

[@lazonialuster9562]

Love “Janie’s Got a Gun”!!

I’ve cried every one of the 67 times I’ve seen Armageddon. At this part and when they finally come home and they’re walking on the tarmac. Such a good movie and song. Aerosmith is classic 🖤

[@jonkeau5155]

A lot of people don’t realize that the song wasn’t chosen to be in the movie, he wrote the song for the movie because his daughter was in the movie

[@jasonharrison9677]

The Pure Love of a Father for his Daughter Expressed in Song

[@gianlucad8003]

He was born with massive vocal chords and he learned how to truly sing, how to pump air up from his lungs and how to switch from chest voice to head voice seamlessly. Incredible singing, even if a young man sung it, never mind someone in their 70's.

[@angelbeaty8431]

I used to sing this song to my granddaughter. She died earlier this year at 23. Thanks for giving me something that will always be a part of her.

[@christinejohnson9540]

This band were the first to team up with rappers and walk this way was a huge hit, give it a listen it’s great peace ✌🏻

[@erictaylor5112]

My wife has told me repeatedly she would leave me in a heartbeat for Steven Tyler...

[@user-es3zh3jk5o]

Aerosmith started 1970....still performing. Steven Tyler is 73. And still fantastic

[@margiemillard2293]

I think the breath thing is him expressing emotion while singing, gosh I love him, from the movie Armageddon, you are right, he makes you feel woohoo

[@Gashouse69]

Outstanding live band. Seen them 3 times and they were phenomenal.

[@ssjtherrin]

I'm not crying. It's the asteroid dust in my eyes...

[@suedyett2988]

His breathing is part of what he does.

[@NickiSixx1]

One of my favorite songs by Aerosmith. Absolutely love it ❤️❤️❤️

[@jinxsky1197]

Aerosmith are the greatest rock band in my opinion i have seen them live twice and they were out of this world. They had the main stage, but also a smaller one that was way back in the middle of the park so not just the people in the seats got very close to the band, they go the extra mile and put on unforgettable concerts. God bless Aerosmith and the STILL handsome 73 year old Steven Tyler.

[@juliemariebroxterman1421]

Wow good memory you are totally right it was on Armageddon. Beautiful Song. Thank you for choosing it 😊

[@xJericho82]

Fun Fact: That song was originally written to be performed by Celine Dion. She declined and so it went to Aerosmith. Someone stated already that the female lead in the movie Armageddon is his daughter Liv Tyler. Good to have so much talent in one family.

[@eleanorbarsic8065]

That is interesting! Thanks.

[@mikematusek4233]

Could Celine have had the same feeling?

[@lopar995]

Steve's voice is still amazing at 73 years of age. My fav songs are Sweet emotion and Janie's got a gun.

[@jellewalsh4659]

I seen him do this song live , my daughter took me it was from movie Armegeddon and the young lady who played Bruce Willis daughter is Liv Tyler Steve Tylers daughter she looks so much like him. Nine lives tour we kept calling out to Steven and he got on the ramp and was singing right in front of us , looking at us smiling . Such a good soul we could have reached out and touched him but he walked down that ramp for us and I didn't want him to walk away because we were invading his space but when the song was over he winked and smiled at us he even threw one of his scarfs from his microphone to my daughter who was like 17 but someone else caught it and he got someone to get it and give it to my daughter she is 38 now and keeps it draped over her bedroom mirror. Very sweet❤️

[@Rosiepooh75]

I think the reason that people were telling you that you're crazy to do that dream on version (and will likely say the same here) is that both live versions are relatively recent when Steven is older, and while he is still incredible, his voice when he was younger was even more amazing...

[@higginsjimmyjh]

some peoples VOICE will never age ... Steven Tyler IS ONE WHO'S VOICE will stay young forever more

[@Mainecoonlady.]

My gosh…. I love Steven Tyler. Concerts are amazing. I always save up for front row and wait in line overnight to get the best. He is amazing! The band is great. They deliver every time. He did not lose his voice but age changes it. The fact that he can still hit the high notes and still hit that scream, is more than most. So many fun songs. Serious songs, sexy songs. They started in the 70s…. Keep exploring them over time, some older, some recent. It’s all good.

[@judithembry2805]

Such A Beautiful Song Tyler Is One Of The Most Heartful Writer's of Our Time and The Most Real This Song Hits the Very Core Of Our Being and a profound truth to Live in The Present Because we never know what tomorrow brings Thank You Mr Tyler and Areosmith xxx Jude

[@genericsidecharacter8915]

Something great about this song is that he dedicated it to his daughter. Basically saying he never wants to miss a single step of his daughter’s life.

[@lsquail7752]

The Demon of Screamin'! Gotta give a listen to Cryin'. Great song. Awesome singing. Joe Perry is an excellent guitarist. I've been a huge fan since before their come back song Walk This Way with RUN DMC (Aerosmith has been around since the '70's).

[@LOAFEMB]

Steven Tyler is 73 yrs old now. So a damn good concert. He’s still a damn fine singer.

[@Silhouex]

meh. I love Aerosmiths music but Tyler blew out his voice in the 90's and it never came back.

[@carolinaember]

@@Silhouex Get back to us when you’re 73 and you can still perform anything even close to what you do/did well as a young person. He is killing it at his age.

[@jonathannuttall6371]

This is literally the first reaction from you I watched that wasn't Eminem.

Your reaction made it even better bro! Haha for real!

Have been a fan from the beginning, when I first heard them at college, over 48 years ago!!

[@houkikker136]

Dude your missing out by listen to these new versions Stevens voice is still really good, but you want your mind blown listen to the original recordings, or a live version from the 70's or 80's. I believe he takes those breaths like that because, he's been smoking or smoked for over 50 years.

I was thinking the same thing.

The list was very thorough. Gotta add Walk This Way with Run DMC :-)

[@syoung5529]

kings and queens, toys in the attic, whip out my big 10 inch, round and round are some of my favorites. I really don't think they have any bad songs. My first concert I was 17 and they put on a great show. Nazareth opened up for them, they were great also. Nazareth is a band everyone should check out too. They have a lot of great songs also. I know everyone has heard love hurts on the radio at some time in their life.

[@maliasiwel7015]

This song has me tear up everytime I hear it, I used to play it when my son was born, I almost miscarried and was so happy when he was born this was how I felt.

[@Seaathy]

And his screams oh my my knees get weak

[@arizonajen7577]

Oh…this song!! My husband and I renewed our vows with a full ceremony and reception for our tenth wedding anniversary. It was perfect! This is our song, our first dance at the reception. We poured over our music library for weeks: contemporary, vintage, classic, every genre, style, everything. I found this one and knew perfection when I heard it. After ten years, we were still obsessed with one another in a way this song perfectly represents. Seventeen years after that dance, this song still gives me goosebumps. Twenty-seven years in and so many blessings, challenges, and enduring commitment. A songs meaning will evolve over time, with experience. Sorry, got lost in the memory. Oh….this song…

[@carrielaliberte3255]

❤️One of the best Love songs! His passion!!!!... gee, makes a person totally feel “it”. Excellent reaction choice! Thanks. :)

[@zzfreddy]

I love your reaction. I’m old and grew up with these bands. The 60’s and 70’s

[@GG-ud1ib]

I always viewed his deep intake of breath, as if he was breathing in the past moment or the memory which inspired the song.

[@adiarainfoster]

I don't remembering the breathing thing too often in his younger years. I think it may be something he developed later. You should hear some of their songs from back in their prime. It's amazing to me he can still sing like this now though! He doesn't quite have the power now that he did then, but even so he's still amazing

[@kidthorazine]

Yeah he likely had to start doing that at some point in the 80's/90's when his nasal passages finally gave out. Don't do too much coke kids.

[@MrJoeyZaZa]

The song got a huge bump from its placing in Armageddon, which worldwide was the top-grossing film of 1998. The movie starred Steven Tyler's daughter, Liv Tyler. U2 were originally asked to perform this song for the movie - the idea for Aerosmith performing it only came after Liv was cast. A grand production featuring a 52-piece orchestra, this was by far Aerosmith's biggest hit on the US Hot 100, and their only chart-topper. It was #1 US for four weeks in September 1998, becoming one of the most popular songs of the year.

This is the song me and my soon ex wife held very dear to our hearts. One of my all time favorite memories is back in high school when we were dating and we were at our ROTC navy ball and i asked the dj to play this song dedicating it to her from me. When the dj announced it we were in the center of the dance floor and everyone knew us so all eyes went to us and everyone backed away making a circle and i took her in my arms as she buried her face in my chest due to how red her face was from being in the spotlight and we started dancing as everyone clapped then slowly more ppl joined in slow dancing with us. Ill never forget how wonderful that moment and night was
