AEROSMITH - MUSIC FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION (2012)

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e0/Aerosmith_-_MFAD.jpg

i know our dear friend Steven Tyler doesn't like us to draw too much attention to the fact that he posts to the board or involve him in discussions of his day job, but i hope he will participate in this thread about the new album out in August, and the Get A Grip outtake "Legendary Child" that was debuted as the album's lead single on last night's American Idol finale:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoDk7nIVuHc

the other dimension is people who still watch/care about "american idol" right?

this is a thread about Aerosmith and American Idol is the thing you're gonna make "lol that is so last year" jokes about?

as opposed to, say, Steve Tyler jokes

I lasted one minute.

Get A Grip outtake

God we were such a good band once. And now I'm fucking rich, and we're ripping off Gang of Four of all people, somebody slap me this can't even be real

legendary child is pretty good!

steven, i wish you would have taken better care of your voice, it hurts me to say that to such an esteemed ilxor.

we didn't give a....wo-ah, wooo-ah...woaah!

woah gang of four coined the phrase "get a grip"? had no idea

So I guess they were warming up by playing "The Wanton Song" and just decided to neuter, add a lamer chorus and call it a day.

Uh, "neuter it".

haha wtf at blatant Zep ripoffery

They must have thought that "The Wanton Song" is such a deep cut that no one would notice. Didn't they see the results of the poll?

tyler quotes himself less than a minute into the first verse

album tracklist btw

1. "What Could Have Been Love"
2. "Beautiful"
3. "Street Jesus"
4. "Legendary Child" 4:15
5. "Oh Yeah"
6. "We All Fall Down"
7. "Another Last Goodbye"
8. "Out Go the Lights"
9. "Love Three Times a Day (Hello Goodbye)"
10. "Closer"
11. "Shakey Ground"
12. "Lover a Lot"
13. "Freedom Fighter"
14. "Up on the Mountain"

hope 11 is a Temptations cover

hope 10 is the entirety of the joy division record as one track

itt everybody becomes xhuxk

Should have covered junior dad

Is "We All Fall Down" about Tyler's recent slip and fall in the bathroom or hwatever he said it was?

itt everybody becomes xhuxk

doesn't xhuxk rep for latter-period aerosmith? I get off the boat after "draw the line" and never look back

I go as far as Night in the Ruts.

xhuxk shits on Pump, which has always been heartbreaking to me because if ever someone was gonna have my back on loving that album it'd be him

will there be a liv tyler/alicia silverstone reunion video

she had a mini-clueless reunion with the god jeremy sisto recently on suburgatory, maybe she's feeling nostalgic

At least this is better than Van Halen's 'Tattoo'

is anything really better than anything else? hmmm.

hmmm

Jennifer Holliday was better than Aerosmith last night on American Idol. By a mile.

Chaka Khan's catsuit was better than all of the above

Does it seem strange that this is only their 15th studio record? I feel like they should have way more albums then that

street jesus

man, looking at their run from 73-76, if they had broken up right then they'd just be THE great american rock n roll band of the 70s! obv those records are still great, but the legacy has been sullied.

street....jesus

the street giveth and the street taketh away, imo

god, i was wondering when aerosmith would finally getting around to writing a song called "oh yeah"

unless it's a chickenfoot cover

I've come back to this thread three or four times now with the sole intention of making fun of Aerosmith, and each time ... I just got nothing to add.

doesn't xhuxk rep for latter-period aerosmith?

Only if Done With Mirrors counts (which I doubt it does). And "Jaded."

Street Jesus

i just can't wait to hear this so i can say with authority, "Well, it's no <i>Honkin on Bobo</i>."

I quite like the cover.

Uh, that's about all I have to say.

xhuxk shits on Pump, which has always been heartbreaking to me because if ever someone was gonna have my back on loving that album it'd be him

Pump sounded pretty good in a car last summer! I'd loved it when I was a kid and then completely neglected it, even disdained it outright, for a really long time.

"The Other Side" holds up pretty well as radio pop imo.

If you're out to bro down over Nels Cline and Aerosmith records, I'm your guy.

(Not sure what to think of this new thing though.)

Bro down? Lol

album pushed back till november...

"It's pushed back because too many people are releasing those weeks, and we don't want to step on their release dates," said Tyler. "So we said, 'You know what, we got the goods, ain't no doubt about [it], we'll wait a couple months.'"

dooba dobba zeeba zobba JUST PUSH PLAY

I don't mean to give too much of the aerosmith game away here but remarks like the one I made to Rolling Stone, quoted by upper mississippi above, are almost always lies cloaking some other truth in re: the record

the game is to be honked, not bobo'd

I thought it was really considerate of you actually to hold off for a while and let others take center stage :(

TheRealJoePerry @TheJoePerry When I think back to the three or four good (if I'm feeling generous) records we've made over the span of almost four decades, I am filled with bitterSweet Emotions. #madealotofmoneyanyway

M@tt and I heard "Legendary Child" on the radio last night and it was awful. Tyler sounds terrible.

yeah real rough sounding yikes

you guys, have you seen the video yet

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iXNwEaQoJU

"Waddle This Way"

holy shit. this is terrible

perry's solo is kinda random and cool sounding

imo a LOT of Joe Perry solos are kinda random and cool sounding, he has this rep as whatever blooze rocker Keith Richards wannabe etc. but so often his tone and his note choices are really left field and interesting to me.

Tyler's voice didn't even sound bad exactly (or at least no worse then you would have guessed it would be at this point) he just sounds totally bored and uninterested.

not as bored and uninterested as i was listening to this

can't get past the brazen Zep ripoffery. so sad.

have we talked about this

I'm surprised Aerosmith hasn't released an album called "Music To Your Lips"

"Fueld by love for music and spirited beans"

"Spirited Beans" is code for coke right?

Cups big and small filled right to the brim
were never quite worth that last lick of the rim
so he set on a search feeling chances were slim
that he'd find the ripe bean that would satisfy him

"Lick of the rim"...

Love In A Percolator

Is hitting a cup of coffee with a drumstick a good way to consume it? I've been doing it wrong for yrs!

drumstick coffee splash is AMAZING xp

joey kramer's face is amazing.

http://blogs.westword.com/backbeat/0731aerosmith.jpg

"but how can we tie our brand hook in with the product? drummer.... coffee.... wait a sec, it's coming to me, i can't believe this is coming to me..."

why so serious Joe Perry

xp

Ten bucks says that ad is better then the lyrics to STREET JESUS

lol all those photos were not only taken at different places but at different times, cf joey kramer with bea arthur (center right). xp

"coffee-lovin'"

this is really so deep I don't even know what to say

susan sontag is in aerosmith now?

hahahahaha

giving this a shot. "luv xxx" sounds so plodding and tired but "oh yeah" is kinda good! blaming the horns and the gospel choir

"beautiful" has sort of that alternating rock/blues workout verses and psychedelic chorus that they've done on a few songs, i'm sure. only one i can remember is "sunshine" which means i'm the only person who has ever remembered "sunshine"

okay "tell me" is legitimately a very good psychedelic beatles-ish ballad. more evidence that you should let the bassist write the songs

god this album is already too long

"if you want a little nookie cookie"

"roses are red, violets are you"

okay i am very close to never listening to aerosmith again

WHY IS THIS SONG 7 MINUTES LONG THERE IS EVEN A FALSE ENDING??!!

^ "Living on the Edge" template in action

lol @ "what could have been love"

just

lol

you know what i'd probably totally accept "what could have been love" in my life had it been sung by like kelly clarkson. whatever we're about to enter sub-blueshammer territory with "street jesus" apparently

wait no wait when the actual riff kicks in it's totally "draw the line"-ish, okay i'm into this

^^^^^ ... and still lol re: Susan Sontag

this album is exactly one million years long

time passes differently in another dimension

how is STREET JESUS?

how is STREET JESUS?

best song on here so far, the most successful at evoking '70s aerosmith

omg @ joe perry's voice

it ain't "bright light flight" but i kind of dig "freedom fighter"

but you know what's sort of delightfully batshit? "another last goodbye." tyler histrionics against a weird minimal backing

the good songs on this record would've made a nice ep

"another last goodbye" - that should be Dr. Morbius' motto

bonus tracks are mostly useless except for "oasis in the night," a total surprise from perry

Apparently Steven Tyler just fell off the stage again in New Orleans? That's what someone on my fb feed is reporting.

LIVIN ON THE EDGE (of the stage and then falling from it...again)
