When did you first hear Aerosmith? When the original “Dream On” album came out, before the wings really looked like wings. Still have the LP - not to good of shape, since it has many many years of play on it, pretty much like myself!
What’s your favorite Aerosmith song? “Kings and Queens”, no discussion. The 100 concerts I have attended, I have NEVER seen or heard that song played live... Guys, you read this, please put this on the set list, atleast when you come to Connecticut!
Tell us about your most memorable Aerosmith moment. Meeting Steven. I had a
solid 24k gold wings necklace made for myself - the back was engraved Steven "KICKASS" Tyler. I sent the picture of the necklace to their management (back then it was Collins management) to show how much I was totally into Aerosmith.
A few days later I get a call from the management asking if I was going to any of the shows and I had tickets to 2 dates, back to back. I was told to go to the show early and sit in my seats. Management came to my seats, took my girlfriend (now my wife - I think us meeting Steven sealed the deal for us LOL) and I backstage. Within minutes we hear walking - it was Steven coming to meet JUST US. I showed him the necklace - he said it was F@%&*n awesome. I told him he could have it and he let me place the necklace on him. I was shaking like a leaf, Steven then says to me, "I know how you feel, I felt that way when I met Mick Jagger."
He took a picture wearing the necklace and then strutted off. To top this all off, we go back to our seats and the manager comes out and says Steven liked the necklace so much, he wanted to know if you were going to any other shows... which we were, and you guessed it, Steven gave us full passes for the next night to meet the entire band. Steven comes over the next night and says his wife loved the necklace. Way cool to have Tyler come over to say that!!! ONLY ONE BUMMER, my wife and I have never seen him wear the necklace ever again?
Give us your funniest Aerosmith story. People think I am so full of it when I tell about the Steven meeting, then I show them the picture of me wearing the necklace and Steven wearing the necklace; each and every time they say "holy s*#t."
Give us your favorite Aerosmith lyric or quote (one liner). "If you're gonna kick ass, make sure to leave a footprint" - ST
Tell us about yourself? Aerosmith fan to the max - Everything I own that can play music, from my cell to my mp3 player has an Aero tune... even my email when I have mail, has the wav file of "I am the Lord of your Thighs". Would be honored to one more time meet Steven, in order to get a picture with him... of him signing the picture of us! Plus the picture we have is 20+ years old. My wife is much more beautiful and I, well...
Your favorite way to relax... Playing “Same Old Song and Dance” on my Wii Guitar Hero 3 with my 2 daughters - ages 9 and 6. YES they are HUGE fans too!
Your favorite breakfast... Gevalia Coffee - is there anything else needed?
