Bought a compilation album by the band led by Steven Tyler and Joe Perry. Who here is/are Areosmith fan(s)?

I like Joe Perry's guitar tone. What guitars and amps has he used over the years?

I first heard about Steven Tyler after he made a cameo on an episode from the fourth season of "Two and a Half Men" (Who Is This Vod Kanockers?), where he not only showcased/warmed up his vocals (to irritate Charlie Sheen), but also played some mean blues harmonica, and beat up Charlie Sheen.

Aerosmith hasn't done anything decent since the early '90's.

Joe Perry has played all kinds of different guitars, but I'd associate him most with a Les Paul. I've also seen a lot of pictures of him with a Dan Armstrong lucite guitar.

I'm a fan of early Aerosmith. Saw them on the Toys In The Attic tour - twice!

Their first four albums are great; after that, not so much.

When I first started playing guitar in '77 I was in a band that did mostly Aerosmith tunes.

I loved Aerosmith up to the album "Draw The Line". After that, the only album I could listen to was Pump.

They definitely took a dump after Pump.

I wish they were that stupid when I was in the music biz.

The general public thinks the OG is a fine Italian restaurant.

Well based on two visits over a couple of decades (the second time kicking and screaming) I have come to think the OG is the McDonalds of Italian restaurants.

Aerosmith made a lot of money and so has McDonalds. What does that say about the average consumer? That was a rhetorical question.

Were are some pictures I took of the Band from the Toys in the Attic tour. The pictures are from Kalamazoo, Michigan, May 23rd, 1975. Once again, I apologise for the quality, but the only camera I had back then was a Kodak 110 Instamatic,
