No way !!

It was awesome at The Gorge in Washington with Dave on stage and the sun dissappearing behind the mountains...

it was beautiful and I remember it like it was yesterday......

Well, not everyone has mountains! How would you feel about a cow pasture and the smell of manure; because that's what I got at Rockfest in WI. LOL

[Zing!]

Music boring? It is not! if you're drunk/high even the lyrics start to make sense :D What I'm trying to say is that I love Aerosmith, but I understand that you have to be in a certain mood to appriciate them.

Hmmm... Pre-MTV Aerosmith, yes. Once they sold out to Hollywood, no.

Jump is 'poplike' but it's not a sappy ballad!

Jump is far better then I don't wanna miss a thing. Steven has been rhyming "together" with "forever" too long. And all melody lines that are typical for Stevens singing come out as exaggerated in that song. As Binnie wrote in his/hers fabulous review of an Aerosmith album, it should be short and sweet. Stevens distinctive melody lines were always there, very recognizable but they were pretty subtle, and that made it so sweet. In IDWMAT he just lets loose and takes it over the top and not only does the song suck, but it takes down their material from before cause it kinda over exploits it.

I live in the country around farms so I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be bothered...

Yeah, I am glad they stopped doing drugs for their health, but they don't make good music sober.

[DLR Bridge]

Isn't that where Ed's guitar comes unplugged or something ??

Yeah, I love the recovery of it all. Al never stops thumping away and turns the moment into an impromptu drum solo. Dave is belting out a few "uwuztha LAST CHILD" with Mike. Ed finally gets his shit back together and starts riffing around with the Phase on. Friggin' bad ass!

[chefcraig]

Me neither and ya gotta squeak Done With Mirrors in there.

Not to mention one of the best live albums ever made...

[PETE'S BROTHER]

Somebody earlier posted a tweet from Wolfang - they just landed in Sydney hours ago. I dunno how long the flight is from California, but jetlag could be pretty fierce.

14hrs

The Pacific Ocean is a motherfucker to traverse, twice as big as the Atlantic.....

Did it several times....

[ELVIS]

Honkin' On Bobo is pretty fucking good...

[DLR Bridge]

Honkin' On Bobo is pretty fucking good...

I've only heard Baby Please Don't Go from that. I've been meaning to check that out.

Haven't listened to that in a long time. I loved Back Back Train. I believe Joe sang on it!

[VHscraps]

I flew from the UK once, 18-19 hours - or was it 21?? - and it took me a few days to adjust.

[VHscraps]

This is one of my favorite songs, if not the favorite, but I understand that most people can't appriciate it while sober (I do appriciate it both sober and drunk). It's SO fantastic. This is what Aerosmith is all about.

Yes, Envy! - One of my favourite tunes as well. Bit of a Tom Waits vibe (although not anything like Ed VH on 'How Many Say Ughh?'), and great harmonica from Tyler.

I love that whole album, and Joe and Brad aren't even on it. It has some of the dirtiest riffs that ever went under the name 'Aerosmith' (Bolivian Ragamuffin, Lightning Strikes, Bitches Brew). It's one of their top 5 albums for me.

Get it...

Especially if you like screams...
