    Lord of the Thighs
    Chip Away the Stone
    Train Kept a Rollin
    Walk This Way
    Sick As A Dog (my personal fave)
    Dream On (never really dug it as much as everyone else)

    ... and a bunch of others are enough to whet one's appetite. Aerosmith is solid. An upper tier band for sure. After Permanent Vacation... I stopped listening.
    This was my favorite aerosmith song as a child :lol:

    They're a fun live band, lots of sing along songs, I don't think I've ever taken them too seriously though.  Credit to Steven Tyler, he can still sing really well after all this time.

    Didn’t realize the guy in the Cryin’ video that steals Alicia Silverstone’s backpack in the diner is none other than “Sawyer from Lost” Josh Holloway.
    Really?? I never put the two together either. He basically plays the same kind of character! Ha ha. Of course this means I have to watch the video again so I can check it out now!

    I saw Aerosmith twice in the 90's and enjoyed both shows.
    I've been on an Alicia Silverstone kick this week.  It started when I stayed at my friends place Friday night and we watched Clueless on TV Saturday morning.  Then I see this thread yesterday and I'm like, oh yea, more Alicia!  So I watched the vids and picked up on it.

    It's probably the first time I've seen the video since the mid-90s, so I wouldn't have known who the hell Josh Holloway was the last time I saw it.  But still, it's neat to go back and find this stuff out.  On a sidenote, I did know Stephen Dorff was the boyfriend in the video since I had actually seen him back then.

    When I was 12 I loved Aerosmith. As I grew up I thought its all pretty silly. Guns n Roses falls in the same category for me.

    When I was visiting home last month I found this in my boxes of old cds:



    It’s the ‘Box Of Fire’ cd box set from 94 with remasters of the first 12 Columbia albums (Aerosmith to Gems) and a bonus disc. 

    It’s a cool set, I remember seeing it in my local indie store (the long-gone Musiquarium in Swansea). I checked every week to make sure it was still there until I’d saved up enough to buy it  :)

    I've seen them twice. The first was dual headlining tour with Motley Crue, when I lived in edmonton (maybe 15 years ago).   That show was great.   Shorter sets removed most of the fat from Motley Crue's set, and left you wanting more with Aerosmith.

    Saw them again when they played my small city 7 or 8 years ago?  It was solid but not quite as good.  

    I'll sit this one out as there's no Vancouver date, and I don't feel like paying the cost to compete for Seattle tickets.  It's great they had a 50 year career.  That's not too shabby.

    I've never seen them and do want to so I guess this is it. Zombie Crowes is a sweet bonus.

    Saw them live in 1997.  They were very good, despite a short(ish) set of about 90 minutes.  If you don't have it already, get their live album "A Little South of Sanity" mainly for disc 2

    There was a time before Pearl Jam when Aerosmith was the band I had seen the most times. It was a great show in the early 90's.

    The first four Aerosmith albums are great. Especially rocks and toys in the attic. A few good tracks on later albums but you can skip it for the most part. 
    I agree with this, but add the 5th album “Draw the Line” … so it would actually be 70s, not 80s..

    Wait, what? I haven't watched those videos in ages. I'll have to revisit them. Also didn't Alicia Silverstone star in a few other of their videos also. I know Amazing she was in also.
