Best Guitar Interplay

Izzy/Slash on "Appetite"

70's Aerosmith.

I guess this is more straight forward, but, whatever...

I like these answers.  Man, Rocks is like one of the best LPs ever, in any style.

I'm not sure why, but I hate Aerosmith.  Maybe hate is too strong a word, but I'm definitely not a fan.  Always felt like they were third-rate Stones clones.

Punks answering questions. Nope.

hoho...didn't see this when I stated my love for Appetite and yes - Without the Izzy dynamic and the dumb drummer, they went rudderless into the twisted molested psyche of Axl...I knew the scene at the downtown LA Greyhound depot back then so I turned a blind eye to their klutzy latent racism, actually their last genuine effort before being swallowed by Rock Inc....Read the Mick Wall biography a while back...

Need to revisit early Aerosmith but obviously a GnR touchstone who seemed to keep it pretty high quality for the first four or so albums before the needle and the damage done. Reading an interesting book on the '60s Boston scene and it talks about Tom Hamilton and Joe Perry watching Fleetwood Mac in '68 when they played past the curfew and the cops came onstage and uplugged them! I'll post about it in the book thread.

I understand this sentiment.  Certainly, their mid eighties and beyond output really sinks them (that's not really the reason for what you're saying, though).  I've heard Billy Gibbons say the third rate Stones thing as well. 

However, I would say they go beyond being a Stones imitator in a lot of ways.  They simultaneously have a Beatles-like, melodic thing happening, plus a much heavier element as well.  I would submit such things as...

Lil Wayne's collab with the bald-o from Mad Nanna was crucial.

I think you've hit on why I dislike them...I'd be way more into them if they WERE closer to the Stones in sound and aesthetics, haha!  Aerosmith could've been like the New York Dolls (and I would have loved them for it), but I think they just didn't have it in them to be that straightforward and stylish with their rocknroll.
