The reason for this was nervousness - despite being an established live band, being in a professional studio freaked the band out.

And what can the search for it teach us about showmanship, America and life itself? Early Aerosmith: A YAKKA-KAKKA-KOW-free ZoneĪerosmith’s 1973 debut album features both the shittest cover art conceivable and a completely different-sounding Tyler, doing much more of a Rolling Stones-a-like blues-rock thing. Iconic bands tend to have a signature kind of moment, one you can impersonate in a second. The horny young upstarts of the 1970s aren’t the same as the horny old millionaires of now.

They’re celebrating their 50th anniversary this year. Aerosmith formed in 1970 and are still going.
