About 15 years ago a friend of mine drove lighting trucks for Aerosmith! We drove to West Palm Beach for 2 nights of rocking out with Aerosmith! I was sitting backstage with Kris when a black limo pulled in. The window rolled down & it was Steven who said, Hey gorgeous! He then called Kris over and asked him to go outside. There were 2 girls outside in a line of groupies. The one girl was in a wheelchair & had a sign that she had made a scarf for him. Steven is normally all over the stage and he is in his 70s!! He always has scarves on the microphone stand. He told Kris to bring them in! Kris did. You could see by her hands & legs, this girl was paralyzed! Her friend said she was in a wreck a year before, paralyzed from the waist down! She just wanted to kill herself! Her favorite band was Aerosmith! Her friend said if you kill yourself, who will I take to see Zero smith next year!!?? So she agreed to wait. She started making scarves. Steven went right over to her and immediately asked if it was okay if he sat on the ground? She said yes. He spent about 30 minutes just talking to this girl! He is such a sweetheart! He asked where her tickets were. Bad seats, in what I call the nosebleed section, so high up you get a nosebleed! He said, no, no! Kris, take her to family section! She was on stage but off to the side with us!!

And yes Steven is highly regarded as one of the best rock singers of all time. One of the most impressive things about him, is that even now into his 70's he's still able to sing in all the same registers and octave/keys he always has. Most bands play songs in a lower key live once their singers start to get older, but Aerosmith has never done that. He's one of the best, and Aerosmith is the best selling american band of all time.

Steven will always be, "ONE of the best" frontmen and singers of all the time. ONE of the best after Freddie Mercury. Only difference is Steven screams the high notes and Freddie actually sang them. I love Steven and when i went to see him at 16 back in 78/79, he sounded the same way he does now. He sure doesn't walk or get around that stage like he used to back then. But he sure as hell still tries and is still sexy going it.

Best concert I’ve ever been to hands down. I loved their music before, but hearing them live took it to a whole other level, unfathomably better than any recording I’ve ever heard of them, and it was outside late at night in the pouring rain which funnily enough made it even better. I was just in absolute awe at the level of talent exemplified on that stage. I’ll never forget it as long as I live. True legends.

Joe gets a lot of well deserved credit and praise for his guitarwork, but it's kind of a shame how people forget about Brad Whitford who is every bit as vital a part of the Aerosmith sound as Joe, and as good a guitarist in his own right in my opinion. Aerosmith wouldn't be the same without either one of them (or for that matter Tom on the bass or Joey on the drums). There's a reason the "fall" of Aerosmith came when Joe and Brad left (even if Rick Dufay and Jimmy Crespo did a decent enough job of filling in) and their rise back to prominence came after Brad and Joe came returned.

[@deborahwood694]

I love watching people step outside their comfort zone to learn about and appreciate another genre. and dude, he is legendary in the rock genre and I think that when we can analyze lyrics and make them our own in very personal and very different ways, that is what creates a true "classic". Dream On can be many things to many different listeners, upbeat and hopeful, angry over the trials we go through reaching our dreams, sad with regret for things lost ... it easily covers a broad range of emotions. There are great artists, legendary artists then there are rock gods. IMO Steven Tyler is a rock god. I think many, if not most of our best rock artists were classically trained or had a lot of exposure to classic music theory. His talent is in his DNA and if his philanthropy is any indicator, he is a good human being perhaps even rectifying for previous sins IDK but his current rep is solid.

Also, Walk This Way was originally an Aerosmith song.

[@reesaserik3759]

Exactly. But it was nice of Run... to cover it and ask Tyler to participate. It helped kick Aerosmith back on track. They had gone through a rough time with Tyler's addictions. I remember when they did the video for that and when I saw Tyler in it, I was happy. After that, their comeback was really great. Some people complain that they were not the same because the music style had changed. But Tyler did an interview (in the 80's) and they asked him about that. His response was that during the 70's he was so stoned his full potential never really came out. This time around he can focus and experiment. Nothing wrong in a style changing. All that means is you have music out there for your original fans and you have music out there for a whole new generation of fans. That is how you hang on. I never really go into their 70's music -- some of it was o.k; like this song for instance -- which blew my mind that they would come up with this type of song back then. And I liked "Walk this way", of course. But I liked everything they cranked out in the 80's. He is a serious musician, despite his track record in life -- no body is perfect. I am just glad he survived and still alive today. He almost went 6 feel under, a couple times, in the 70's. That would have been a complete waste and shame.

I know I personally would be more stoked to see those reactions anyway. Either way, all the best!

[@patmiller244]

They are a great band ,and yes he is a brilliant singer and entertainer.Ty for sharing this 🤗❤️ nothing but love 😘❤️

[@hoosiermaker2358]

Us 60 yr old rockers know their best work is from the mid 70s, with albums, get your wings, Toys in the attic and my favorite lp, Rocks.

[@Caritasaveritas]

Yes kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmrHeHZumcpjeaM

[@dannybrazil3986]

I was listening to this band back in 74-76 high school so many great rock bands.

[@Caritasaveritas]

@@dannybrazil3986 Agreed. In our neighborhood there were garage bands on almost every block. It was a fun and original time. Even if original tunes never made it on the charts - it was the spirit of creativity - a vibrant era.🍃

[@stellahalcyon9859]

"Get Your Wings" has ALWAYS been my fave. Before all the spla. Prime songwriting and performances.

[@talonshadows4587]

Toys In The Attic is my favorite by them.

[@randomvielleuse527]

Still one of the best bands and songs ever. That voice... wow. Not a single wasted bit of sound or breath, just pure connection with the lyric, the melody, the message, the audience...

[@rockalittl]

Aerosmith is legendary, man. This is just the tip of the iceberg. I've seen them live and they are awesome. This is one of their many classics. Listen to the original. This is a slowed down unique version they did.

[@cathyjacobs]

Aren't they fantastic live? My husband and I have seen them five times, and they were excellent every time. I saw the Rolling Stones back in '78 and, while they were good, Steven has a better voice than Jagger. Enjoyed them even more than the Stones. For me, the only concerts that were as good as Aerosmith were Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy and B.B. King.

[@margaretwillard4357]

I am from Boston I have been listening to them since I was 10 yrs old in 1975. I love their Toys in the Attic album they have been around for decades and one of the greatest of this type of music. They are phenomenal in concert as well and very patriotic!!

[@michellevanburkleo6555]

I had the privilege to see him live in San Antonio about 4 years ago. He played this song with a piano only. All I have to say is that it was amazing, wonderful, beautiful and I could not believe I got to see one of my favorite singers ever! And yes, MASTERFUL! Go back and hear his music from the 70’s and beyond!

[@k.stacey7389]

You really need to see their Run-DMC “Walk this Way” collaboration. It changed everything for both bands, and music in general.

[@jillf.9692]

This is one of my favourite songs of all time. I have never heard this version and it is amazing. Steven Tyler and Joe Perry are both unbelievably talented. I love that Steven Tyler can add new layers and depth to this song (and still hit those high notes) over 40 years after this song was first released. Love it!!!

[@daveglassford7556]

He sings with passion, power and heart, and really is one of the greatest talents in my listening life!

[@lovefortruth3414]

His voice is legendary! And this isn't even his best! The high notes he used to hit were incredible. Still. He has amazing control and command over his vocals. He paints a picture in your mind with each note and breath.

[@johnlindblom1430]

I agree. I was crying watching this especially when combined with the video.

[@gosiaplummer4794]

His Voice and he himself is a legend. And this song… just rips heart out of chest

[@deborahallford7337]

I was musically trained from my youth, so I recognized Steven Tyler’s AMAZING vocal talent at the very start. His voice is older now, but he’s only gotten BETTER! Give a listen to his lullaby to his baby girl... whoa!!!

[@ProudMommyOf3PawneePrincesses]

Steven Tyler & @Aerosmith IS an Iconic LEGEND in his/their own right that has spanned GENERATIONS!! At 41yo I covet my memories of my parent's 8 track, vinals, cassettes THEN my 1st concert seeing them, recorded my own 80's mixed tapes & listening w/ my lifelong bestie as kids...

[@dawnduckworth593]

Dude is singing live and in his 70s. His voice has always been amazing.

[@amysewell8141]

My husband gets worried when songs like this make me cry every time I hear them. I tell him it’s a good cry but he still tries to comfort me. This version is so much more haunting than the radio version though. Love me some Aerosmith and I miss the days when artists did live performances without lip syncing

[@charles6952]

Mr. Lboyd, sir, you need to hear him do this in 1973. You will love it. I was blown away then at how his young self could deliver. This Steven Tyler's delivery for the tribute was awesome with the deeper, raspier and emoyianal delivery.

[@rocktheboat9372]

Yes, he's considered one of the best in the genre. Also, Steve Perry (Journey) and the lead singer of Led Zeppelin (can't recall his name).

[@mala3isity]

Robert Plant. He's touring with Allison Krause right now.

[@singingbamman1]

Robert Plant

[@singingbamman1]

He and Alyson Kraus sound amazing together

(can't remember Robert Plant s name? Ya make me feel old. FYI the average ticket price to Zeps last show was $14,700!

[@MsLucy4ever]

Steven Tyler is one of my three favorite rock singers ever, he is wonderful. And the fact that he still can sing like this, is amazing.

[@TimothyRoberts72]

The best version of this song is a live concert done on MTV in the 80s with orchestra backup - his voice has aged and he doesn't quite hit the notes he used to and he is arguably one of the best voices in rock music.

[@Leticia-Far67]

Totally agree! 👍

[@heather1592]

Didn’t he have an issue with his vocal cords several years ago? He was forced to not sing or talk for months. This was when he was a judge on American Idol, I think.

[@staleo8497]

So very many hits. You have to check them all out. Crazy, I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing, Dude Looks Like a Lady, Sweet Emotion, Janie’s Got a Gun and you can’t miss Walk this Way (with Run DMC).

[@c9828413]

Love in an elevator

[@tracyadelizzi6831]

I've always loved the raw emotion in his vocals.

Glad you enjoyed my channel's video :)

[@scottsimo3170]

Passive aggressiveness is weak. Be direct for f**K sake's.

[@houkikker136]

@@vankesselable yeah was always a toss up for me between Steven Tyler and Steve Perry on whose vocals where better. Stephen Tyler still sings though and Perry just writes and produces he never liked being a front man.

[@danagardner7885]

Definitely, when he was very young and new; but he's still got it!

[@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar]

He absolutely is a god in this genre. I grew up listening to Aerosmith and it’s always been incredible. You should also listen to the original version of this from earlier recordings. It’s always brought on such FEELS.

[@Pinkapotomus]

This is one of those timeless songs. I love the original most of all, his voice was so clean.

[@theresalacey6126]

I love this version of this song. That's Joe Perry from Aerosmith playing the guitar. The chorus singing makes this version beautiful. You should listen to the original song. It's awesome.

[@FeatherstoneApothecary]

Steven learns to play a different instrument every place he goes. Watching him play a ukulele was epic 🤘😁

[@geetuz]

I chose this song as one of the songs played at my wife's funeral in 2006 when she was just 27. It perfectly encapsulated her and her life lived. It will always always remind me of her more so than her funeral. Beautifully written, beautifully performed.

[@lindagivens1273]

I've been listening to Aerosmith since the seventies and I've never been disappointed, Steven Tyler voice is ranked among the greatest of all time and like yourself I'm a black man who's amazed by his talent

[@now0nline]

Yeah, he is definitely one of the best if not the absolute GOAT! Truly gifted and talented. Broke the mold too I think.

[@CatapultGaming]

Would love nothing more than to see you react to more Aerosmith songs. Hearing you ask if he's considered one of the best singers is the kind of thing that gets me to come back to see more reactions! Genuine interest and appreciation for things make a reaction channel what it is and are why I enjoy this one so much.

[@robtalbot8060]

I’ll never get tired of hearing that man sing

[@gcandela86]

It always brings me so much joy to see people have this kind of reaction to the music I grew up loving.

[@patriciaadams5492]

Love your critiques. You really help us to notice little things and truly appreciate the FULL talent of the performers! 😘

[@johnnusz8278]

Steven Tyler for me is one of THE voices of rock from the 80's and 90's. I've been listening to that voice for as long as I can remember listening to music on the radio. **EDIT** and yea, the song itself is pretty legendary since its' release in 1973. If you like his story telling... check out "Janey's got a gun"

[@ThatHomelessScrubbalo]

AGREED 100%

[@driller7714]

70s and 80s. I would say Robert Plant and Steve Perry are better than Steven Tyler. Best of the 90s. Layne Staley number one, no comparison. Chris Cornell number two.

[@MayaRivka]

Good song!

[@Esmeagolly]

@@driller7714 I’ll throw in Eddie Vedder too. And he and Chris together is enough to rip your heart out and thank them for it.

[@brandy2876]

Omg 99' I went their concert in Dallas Tx. The cannons going off during Janie's got a Gun was something else.

[@desireeyoung2814]

Loved watching your reaction!

[@kshudson4285]

"Janie's Got A Gun" is an interesting showcase of his voice. Also "Dude Walks Like a Lady". His range is ALL OVER THE PLACE and if your just hearing him there is so much more. I'm 49 and have been listening since I was a teen. Don't know of anyone quite like him.

[@jasonandersen5975]

I agree, but a small quibble: Dude (Looks Like a Lady) is the correct title.

[@eucalyptus444]

Steven Tyler and Joe Perry are the bread and butter of Aerosmith his voice has taken a lot with the way he sings. This was a different version of the song for those who died in the marathon in Boston. Steven hasn’t lost his voice but now he needs to protect it if he wants to sing. Joe Perry and Slash are icons of guitar players nobody is like them ….

[@anitaclayborn2578]

I've seen Aerosmith twice and I love them dearly. 😍

[@lindseyaaron3644]

And with headphones! So much of their music is in stereo. Like I love the Pump album.

[@maggygraham2218]

So glad you are giving this man his due, recognizing his talent in a new period of time. He has been a major part of our lives starting in the 70s.

[@geekbabe100]

Crying here, I’m Boston Strong & this was such a horrific tragedy 😢

Me too. I can't believe that it has been almost nine years. I was eight when the attacks occurred and remember it like was yesterday. #bostonstrong

[@natashab3412]

Boston Strong ~ I cried a bit l too. We used to go to the restaurant Crystal worked at in Arlington. & the brothers lived in our town. (Right across the st from the restaurant my son worked at In East Cambridge ..ate there occasionally ) . The younger brother went to our local high school. . CR & L. . . It was all so surreal. ..and horribly tragic... ... cant believe how long its been either! The video is very touching, . Heart-felt . I've never seen a yt reaction to it. ( really appreciate his reaction too ) First time I saw Aerosmith, was when they played at the Catholic high school in our town. Early 70s .. . They lived close by ,one town over.. lots of great memories! Yrs later.family/ friends became close pals w ST. ( I only met him once ) . Just a very talented bunch of Hometown boys. ( & NH) The oundtrack of our 70s/80s/ 90s lives..

[@miss.cellanous8610]

Your face,after Steven hits those high notes, was pure astonishment and genuine appreciation. Thank you 😊

Yes, he is one of the best front men ever. He's up there with Freddie Mercury and Zach de la Rocha.

I feel dumb, who is Zach de la Rocha? What band? (Honest question)

[@adoboFosho]

@@G-grandma_Army its newer compared to the others its Rage Against the Machine

[@theS4V0Y]

I think the crazy part is that he was in his mid 60’s when he sang this tribute. He has better vocal performances under his belt from. His peak years but he still crushes the performance because he is that much better than most.

[@coreyfisher2542]

We are so used to hearing the dude on rock radio that we forget how good he is. I love that you like this stuff.✌️♥️

I was at the concert where he sang this song for the first time. Incredible then now legendary.
