I have seen Aerosmith live for over 40 years. I have witnessed some great as well as some interesting songs as an opener. Back in the Saddle, Love in an Elevator, Rats in the Cellar, Let the Music Do the Talking, Toys in the Attic, Young Lust, Draw the Line, Eat the Rich. However, my favorite opener was Hearts Done Time. I like the way it builds. What’s your favorite Aerosmith opener?
Bluesy, dirty and full of charisma. This song of Done With Mirrors (1985) gets you straight away with Kramers beat followed by Tylers raspy melody.
You could almost call this Psychedelic Aerosmith. Released on Nine Lives (1997), whatever Tyler was smoking when he wrote this i have no doubt hit the spot. Its weird in all the right ways.
Overlook frequently because it shares a space with thebtitle track, Walk This Way and Sweet Emotion, this song off Toys In The Attic (1975) is the second heaviest song they ever made. Brilliant if you love the heavier sound
This cover of a 1960 Bo Diddly blues song was their ope ing track to Honkin On Bobo (2004) and feels like a punch in the face. Its loud, thick and tight. A brilliant way to show the critics they could still rock.
Amazing riff, amazing melody. Kramer and Hamilton on point. A Night In The Ruts (1979) often gets overlooked as a whole, but this track i very very rarely see get mentioned. Do yourself a favour.
