Alot of people have sent me Aero-questions (since my old page), and i have decided to put the most frequently asked and/or the ones i haven't had a chance to e-mail an answer to here. If you have an Aero-question you can't find an answer to, email it to me and i will either post the answer or a desprate plea for help to anyone who reads this because by some strange act of fate i failed to pull my reasources into a checked-source question (hopefully that won't happen).
2)Whats 1325 Commonwealth Ave.?
it's the addy of Aerosmith's first appartment...yes, they are long gone from there.
3)Where's Aerosmith's official site? (this one makes me feel really good...)
www.aerosmith.com
4)Why does Steven have scarfs on his Microphone stand?
last time i read Steven answering this question he replied with "i tried it once and it looked cool." I think thats nuff said.
5)Is Janie's Got a Gun from a real story?
Steven said he wrote it after reading a magazine article of min. to min. accounts of gun deaths that particular year and he got the idea from a few of those stories.
6)Is there a video for Blind Man?
Yes, but due to it's suggestive content it was played mostly after hours following it's premier run.
7)Whats the deal with Aerosmith's Cover band?
Their official cover band is Draw The Line. You can find a great deal of info about them (including their tour dates) at their website www.fineproductions.com. I've had the privlage of seeing them live, and they are VERY good.
8)What was the big stink over one of Aerosmith's SNL preformances?
I think you are reffering to Aerosmith's preformance of Monkey on My Back when steven said the F word...a big "no no" on live network television.
9)Why was the 9 lives cover changed? They got the art work from a guy who claimed it was origional, but when it was released they were called on copywrite infringment becasue it was apparently an altered image from a Hare Krishna book. After setting that with a lump sum payment, they were called upon again by the Hindus who said that it defaced their god. After all of that Aero decided to reprint the albums with another cover. Their final reason: "we don't want to offend anyone unless we mean to."
10)Does Steven Tyler wear boxers or briefs?
This one i honestly can't answer. He has mentioned thongs before, but as for daily undies, I can only imagine.
11)what grammies has Aerosmith won?
1990 Grammy Awards:Love In An Elevator-Best Video; 1991 Grammy Awards: Janie's Got A Gun-Best Rock Video; 1994 Grammy Awards: Livin On The Edge-Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal; 1995 Grammy's: Crazy-Best Rock Performance by Duo or Group with Vocal...i hope i'm not missing any, thats off the top of my head...
12)Where can i find the Aerosmith/rap version of Walk This Way?
It is on the Run DMC's Album "Raising Hell"
13)how has Aerosmith incorporated everyday life into their music?
well theres janies got a gun taken from a mag of gun related dreaths, steven's own experiences like love in an elevator (hehe), songs that actually play out their story like No Surprise (which is basically word for word up till that point), and other recaps of the world around them many involving the effects of drug abuse & sobriety.
14)Where can i get Aerosmith albums on vynal?
I would say your best bet is either used record shops (where i've gotten all of mine) or online auctions.
15)is there anything in the box of fire that hasn't been released elsewhere?
yes, the box of fire comes with an extra bonus cd that has the mtv 20th aniversary edition of dream on, subway & circle jerk, & aerosmith's rendition of Rockin Pneumonia & the Boogie Woogie Flu (that last one was also on the Less than Zero soundtrack though).
16)What are the names of the 2 bands Brad and Joe had out of Aerosmith?
Joe was heading the Joe Perry Project, and brad was in Whitford/St. Holmes.
17)How long has Aerosmith been together?
The line up as it is today was completed in 1971 when Brad joined replacing Ray Tobano.
18)do they ever fight amongst themselves?
I think about as much as any "family" does. They have very different personalities, and that always works both ways in a freindship. But none of their quarrels now are big enough to matter in the long run (there's no more broken tables and spilt milk like in the old days).
19)How did they come up with a name like Lord of the Thighs?
It was a spin on Lord of the Flies.
20) Where can i find Steven's song I Love Trash and Joe's Spider Man Theme that you have on the polls?
I Love Trash is on the cd Elmopalooza and as far as i know the Spider Man theme is only on the tv show.
more to come
