The sorta layered track mixing that appealed to the much less battering gange experience of the day. If I recollect correctly, Eddie Kramer was the engineer. Jack Douglas was the producer. I dunno if Steve and Joe had as much to say about the production in the '70s as they did in the '80s and '90s, but I do know that Steve pretty much always wrote the lyrics and drum lines, and Joe pretty much laid down the basic guitar and bass lines. Impressive job here.
I used to be a big fan Aerosmith as a kid because I was only familiar with their 80's material. Their 70's material kicks some serious ass though. I think even Led Zep would have listened to this song and wondered if they were losing ground. Respect.
Damn! I can kill someone listening to this shit! Screw stairway to heaven! This song is everything rock and roll is about. Sex, having a good time and kicking ass!
i swear to god i had an orgasm when they opened the concert i went to in caracas with this song. lol...almost had a heart attack because i was so fucking excited....i love this song, i love this band !1...these guys are the reason i love music in general...they where the first album i ever bought when i was 8...and now im 20..been a fan ever since!!...THIS PPL IS THE REAL SHIT!! ROCK ON AEROSMITH!
@dtp056 joe perry once said in a interview that if anyone wanted to know what aerosmith was all about ,then this was (in his opinion) the song that represents what aerosmith is(signature song)....thats how kickass and sick this song actually is
wow i used to not like aerosmith because all i heard was walk this way and dude looks like a lady. then i started reading slashes book and he mentioned rocks.... this is sick
I remember this playing back in 74' makin out with susy the girl next door in the back of my fuckin camaro hell yeah those were better times before we had a nigger for a president.
I wonder what susies doin now? THUMBS UP IF YOU WANT ME TO GET BACK TOGETHER WITH SUSY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.
@MikeLamb24 get youre ears checked dude this is ear candy, and dont ever dimiss zeppelin as "old people shit" zeppelin aerosmith stones etc are timeless you ignorant fuck
Hamilton's playing if you can isolate in your head is his usual; solid, aggressive and heavy. Both he and John Paul Jones had that solidness about their playing. But the song is so effortlessly cock strong and confident. The anticipation at the time to see them perform this must have been intense. Looking at the live videos from this era I'm blown away by how fucking good Steven's voice holds up. But THIS is Aerosmith. And yeah, this is the kind of music that inspires people to
The drumming and percussions are seamlessly interwoven. Seamlessly. The tambourine inconspicuously coming in at :55 just for a few bars before the open hi-hat part is tasteful and understated. The woodblock and gallop feel of the thing would be cliche on any other western themed song but isn't here for some reason. The descending guitar lines; the whammy and 6 string bass line winding down at 3:30 is cool as Hell with Steven's high pitch mule skinner howling is inspired.
Holy Mother of God! A Masterpiece. Xlnt songwriting. Brilliant performances. Audacious vocals. "I'm baaaack!" What the fuck? Theres no other way to say it. This song is ridiculously cock strong. The guitar parts do that rare thing of being as expressive and waywardly as the vocals. The whammy track, the volume pot swells, the 6 string, the rhythm/lead track proper ..... masterful. The chord change at 1:45 brings an almost violent tension. Steven's vocals are animalistic here.
this song is just AMAZING ! but i have no idea how he doesnt lose his voice ! but if he can sing if i ever go to his concerts i want this song defently first !
I was 13 when this album was released. I am from Boston and watched the rise and fall of Aerosmith with pride and then great sadness. Sure, they came back, but the music was never the same. Too commercial.
George Lynch, Warren DeMartini, Slash, etc... Will ALL say this band was their favorite of all time, and I agree and so it's is mine... These grooves can't be reproduced, with the feeling they put into it, by ANY band of this era... You just can't tune down and produce this kind of funky shit... This album reminds me of when a guitar player was somebody...

Yes they pretty much laid down the blueprint for GNR, which is why it annoys me when people rank GNR higher. GNR were a great band, but they were followers, Aerosmith were leaders. Aerosmith showed innovation and influence, GNR didn't.
@Keeperofthename unfortunately......jokes. I will admit it though, I am not the biggest fan, I have nothing wrong him, he plays some great rock and roll and contributes to the ever writing story that is Rock and Roll, which is a never ending story.
But I have bigger influences than Slash, again not because I think he is shit, just have preferences like you do, hence the reason you like good old Slash.
