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

[@susanlaraia5986]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@aviatom1]

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

[@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

[@user-es3zh3jk5o]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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❤️

[@jasonharrison9677]

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

[@Fiona-sg9wh]

You got that right about the movie. It is from Armageddon! He does change his voice and vocals a lot. He is amazing. He ages very well. Still rocking it and killing it!

[@lopar995]

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

[@SparkimusPrime]

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 🖤

[@darkelited]

it gets me every time too

[@ARTIST-AT-LARGE]

Me too!

[@wittenhenderson875]

Ok, it's not just me then.

[@jonesyokc]

"I always thought of you as a son. I'd be damn proud to have you marry Grace" brb... getting tissues

[@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

[@dianehancock1]

He is the greatest vocalist alive his range is awesome. Listen to sweet emotion

[@ssjtherrin]

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

[@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.

[@erictaylor5112]

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

[@suedyett2988]

His breathing is part of what he does.

[@CarolinaEmber]

Can you believe Steven still sounds this good? He’s 73 years old.

[@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”!!

[@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).

[@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.

[@Gashouse69]

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

[@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 ✌🏻

[@NickiSixx1]

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

[@danielr6107]

The best part of the whole band is that they are all recovered from addiction from a hopeless state of mind and body! Thanks to God!

[@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.

[@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…

[@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.

[@charleswilliams6236]

This one shows you how high his vocals can go this song is very great

[@nobsnoargue4126]

Omg this is when I fell in love with Steven Tyler I heard this after he was a judge on a talent show Rock stars have NEVER interested me at all As Steven T spoke with future talent he impressed me so very much THEN I heard him perform this song and I forgot all my old feelings about rockers! Mister Tyler, you slayed me. As I live and learn, old taught 'feelings' just float away and I am learning to think more for ME! Ty.

[@juliemariebroxterman1421]

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

[@Mellmick26]

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.

[@barbararobbins441]

THIS BAND IS EXTREMELY TALENTED

[@GrannyMoonWillow]

I LOVE your appreciation of the band, especially Steven Tyler's talent!!! Also, I agree, this is one of the most romantic songs EVER!

[@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?

[@angelatillander5355]

He's amazing. Seen him in concert several times, even 3rd row center stage. This is my wedding song, married 20 years now. You need to check his earlier.

[@MrJoeyZaZa]

Sweet Emotion Bro... have to do that one!

[@WiseMichiganWoman]

This song was originally written by Diane Warren for her infant daughter. It's a beautiful tribute from a mother to her child. It does a wonderful crossover by Steven to a adult love.

[@stephenparlierii4201]

I've been listening to Aerosmith for a couple of decades. I'm going to be 50 this year and I've been listening to them since my early teens. the breathing he does is an emotional response, I'm not even sure he's aware he's doing it. It's similar to how Evils Prestly used to move on stage, it was because he was raised Pentecostal and the music moved him, according to a live interview I saw of him.

[@texasbunny3844]

Love 80's rock and ballads 💯❤️The best music EVER!

[@cripplecreekqueen]

While I was in hospital, unconscious for several days from near fatal OD. Steven Tyler was my fairy godmother, in my mind. When I did wake up and before I realized I was in the psychiatric unit, I told my nurse about the best dream ever of Steven asking me what made me happy? What was making me so sad. We were floating around on a huge lily pad. We were having the best time!! His voice was in my head so beautifully, I truly feel he saved my life. He was the noise in my head throughout my recovery. I adore him. 💋

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@debravirden7130]

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

[@jennifermorris6848]

It was amazing to hear that song for the first time through your ears...,! I absolutely love the song, I understand He wrote it and it was his first hit....when He was 17 years old...! Just brilliant...!

[@sithlord9331]

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

[@Seaathy]

And his screams oh my my knees get weak

[@jonathannuttall6371]

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

[@yeshuarules8154]

You need to go back and see the same songs done in classic Aerosmith hard rock version when they were younger. The last song was a recent tribute and this is also recent live version where the audience is doing the singing that always happens when singers do their old age tour which is more nostalgia.

[@riverhouseparty]

I really enjoyed playing and watching my kids play Aerosmith guitar hero when that was a thing. Its their entire career and songs basically in a game.

[@patriciaeversole3106]

They showed Steve they seen where Harry and his daughter say their final good-byes in the movie to get Aerosmith to do the soundtrack. Steve said I'll do it crying his eyes out. First time Aerosmith ever did anything exclusively for a movie. But just that seen created this beautiful piece of art. And he's singing his heart out cause it the song he wrote for Liv.

[@30dayride67]

Dang I miss the music of the 70's and 80's! Those years were so much fun and so crazy it's a wonder any of us survived! Lots of partying and most of the bands back then really partied hard and it really shows in many of them that managed to survive it physically, mentally and vocally. Steven Tyler dropped onto the country music scene a year or two ago. It shocked the heck out of me! Never in my wildest dreams would that combination have crossed my mind, but he was really good there too!

[@lukestark3]
