Jimmy Page- "Aerosmith is what rock n' roll is all about and has been from its inception to the present day. Steven Tyler's dynamic vocals, Joe Perry's inventive guitar, the craftsmanship employed in the band's material, the powerhouse delivery of their live performances added with the essential ingrediants of talent and the conviction make the ideal rock n' roll band." "They're a great band. Steven Tyler? Mr. Energy! I'd like to be as fit as him when I get to be his age! Ha!"

Christian Rioux of Claytown Troupe - "Aerosmith are one of the true rock bands. They married US roots rock with English pomp, and showed younger acts how to blend style with humour and ability. They are an inspiration to their fans and all aspiring rockers."

Dan Reed - "I've got so much respect for those guys after what they've been through. And as for Steven Tyler, he's just amazing!"

Ozzy Osbourne - "I remember them supporting Sabbath in '74 - they were a good band then and they are one of the greatest bands in the world now. In fact, I'd say they are one of the best bands ever. They've been through a lot and they've come out on top. And not only that but they are some of the nicest people I've met in this business."

Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue - "When I was a kid I had a picture of Steven Tyler on my wall. In my opinion Aerosmith were and still are the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world. They ARE American rock 'n' roll. As long as there are bands like Aerosmith there'll always be rock 'n' roll."

Rudolph Schenker of Scorpions - "I've been a fan since their first single ('Dream On'). We've played with them four times and I think they're incredible. They're the best rock band on earth at the moment. They've influenced so many rock bands over the years, but now they're better than ever."

Bruce Dickson of Iron Maiden - "They're fantastic - one of the few bands I'd go out of my way to see."

Axl Rose of Guns 'n' Roses - "In my mind the hardest, ballsiest rock band that ever came out of America was Aerosmith."

Gary James of Thunder - "They're just something else. Real good, down-to-earth, honest, bluesy rock 'n' roll. They're the business."

Andy Mitchell of Toranga - "Aerosmith are the ultimate in honest, gutsy rock 'n' roll. Of that there's no doubt."

Tommy Caradonna of Alice Cooper - "They are the epitome of a hard rock band that maintains groove and soul. Steven Tyler is a genius and totally phenomenal. They were the first band I ever listened to and 'Dream On' was the first rock song I ever got into."

Frank Steele of Father Pussycat - "Actually, Aerosmith are responsible for everything that's going on in Los Angeles right now."

Bam Bam of Dogs D'Amour - "Aerosmith are one of the greatest live acts of all time, on a par with The Rolling Stones and Dogs D'Amour!"

Slash of Guns n' Roses - "When I first started getting into rock n' roll on my own (outside of my family's influences) what inspired me to play guitar was something that happened to me when I was thirteen. I chased the most beautiful girl--who was twice my age--for about three months. And when I finally got into her apartment, she played me ROCKS for the first time. I listened to it about four or five times, completely forgot about the girl, and split the apartment. That's what Aerosmith means to me."

Joni Mitchell - "Aerosmith is the kind of band that reminds me what I loved about rock n' roll in the first place."

Ted Nugent - "They're the coolest bunch of mothers on the planet. They're incapable of making a bad record! There's just a few bands that twang like Aerosmith. Aerosmith music is so sexy--if it weren't for Aerosmith there wouldn't be such short skrts in America today. I love Aerosmith. It's Joey's thump, Tom's drive, the audacity of Joe and Brad, all literally spat and polished by Steven Tyler. That's Aerofuckingsmith to me."

Bob Catley of Magnum - "I think they're the best rock 'n' roll band I've ever seen."

Vernon Reid of Living Colour - "Aerosmith is one of the last great bands of the seventies that forged a bridge between heavy rock and R&B."

Sebastian Bach of Skid Row - "If I could have half the talent, originality, influence, and longevity of Aerosmith, I could die a happy man."

Bill Graham - "From the onset, Aerosmith has personified the raw, borderless traits that define rock and roll--the spirit of adventure and sensuality--the spirit that embodies the essence of our music--freedom of expression. On a given night, when the mood of the moment creates that indefinable energy between artist and public, there are but a handful of groups that can be thought of as the very best rock and roll that exists on this planet. Aerosmith is one of that select few; at least for me."

Bon Jovi - "Aerosmith? Yeeeeaah! I love 'em! I always wished I could be half as cool for half as long."

Vince Neil of Motley Crue - "Listening to Aerosmith was my inspiration to sing."

Little Richard - "I looove Aerosmith. They're one of my favorite rock n' roll bands ever. They're full of filth and full of soul."

Newsweek - "Oversexed and overage."

Creem - "Aerosmith is a fucking pleasure. They give the kind of kick-in-the-pants rock n' roll show that lets you know you've seen something, and it was LOUD and it was FAST and it was exhilarating."
