The Profile

Aerosmith is an American hard rock band formed in Boston in the early 1970s, best known for blending hard rock and blues. Core members include Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Brad Whitford, Tom Hamilton and Joey Kramer.

Formed in Boston in the early 1970s, Aerosmith are an American hard rock band whose classic lineup includes Steven Tyler (vocals), Joe Perry (lead guitar), Brad Whitford (guitar), Tom Hamilton (bass) and Joey Kramer (drums). They achieved critical and commercial peaks in the mid-1970s (notably Toys In The Attic and Rocks), had a major commercial comeback in the late 1980s and early 1990s (Permanent Vacation, Pump, Get a Grip), collaborated with Run-DMC on a landmark reworking of "Walk This Way," and have sold well over 150 million records worldwide.

DeBaser reviews praise Aerosmith's 1970s peak (Toys In The Attic, Rocks) and note a successful late-80s/90s commercial comeback (Permanent Vacation, Pump). Live and later experimental/pop albums receive mixed reactions. Blues roots and energetic performances are recurring highlights.

Notable Quotes

❝ After listening to this album, you will remain silent for 1 minute to absorb it. And then only the following exclamation will come from your mouth: “MIIIINCHIA!”
❝ From start to finish, the record presents itself as an exhausting cavalcade through hard rock, blues, and boogie, all played even more crudely than in any previous work by the band.
❝ Pump is the second of Aerosmith's three "Big Ones," the three jewels of the veteran Boston band's discography.
❝ Perry bombards the CD with riffs and solos like he hadn't done since the days of “Pump”.
