Rock Titans AEROSMITH Return To The Stage With Star-Studded Line Up

Posted on by JL

9 October 2026

Boston‘s notorious rock titans AEROSMITH (active since 1970 – 15 albums)
return to the stage for two special shows at the Hollywood Bowl – Los Angeles
for 2 concerts, on October 29 and November 1.

In 2024, the band announced their live action retirement,
because of frontman Steve Tyler‘s (78 now) vocal injury.
But Steve‘s vocal cords are obviously working okay again.

The shows will feature an all-star cast with – take a deep breath – The Black Crowes,
RUN DMC, Heart, Andrew Watt, Billy Idol, Chad Smith (RHCP), Duff McKagan (GN’R), Eric
Church, Jerry Cantrell (Alice in Chains), Marcus King, Mike Inez (Alice In Chains), Nuno Bettencourt (Extreme), Pat Monahan (Train), Sammy Hagar, Slash (GN’R), Steve Stevens,
Sully Erna (Godsmack), Tom Morello, Adam Wakeman, Audley Freed, Kenny Aronoff and
more (even more??), with Don Was serving as music director.

I wonder how many dressing rooms they need to get all those artists in.

Whatever it’ll be all about shutting up and dancing.

AEROSMITH – Hard Rock Titans Released Their Drugs-Fueled 4th LP ‘ROCKS’ Today 50 Years Ago

Posted on by JL

Significant longplayers from yesteryear

3 May 2026

Hard rock titans AEROSMITH released their 4th LP,
named ROCKS on 3 May 1976, today 50 years ago.

At that point, although often derided by critics, the band had
amassed a loyal fanbase from relentless touring and their
ferocious live shows.

The album went to number 3 on the US Charts.

Producer Jack Douglas acknowledges the pervasiveness of drug use during
the album’s sessions: “Labels were giving them drugs. It was written into the project,
and in the case of Columbia Records, they had guys who delivered it to you. And they
finally got busted for that, people lost their jobs and it became a huge scandal.”

Rocks was one of Kurt Cobain‘s fav albums.

AEROSMITH Walked Their Way This Day 50 Years Ago

Top singles from the past

28 August 2025

Iconic hard rockers AEROSMITH released WALK THIS WAY,
one of their biggest hits (more than 600 million streams on Spotify),
on 28 August 1975, today 50 years ago. It peaked at #4 in the US
and #8 in the UK.

It was the 2nd single from their Toys In The Attic album.

It helped Aerosmith to break into the mainstream in the 1970s, it also revitalized their career in the 1980s when it was covered by hip hop trio Run DMC (in collaboration with Aerosmith) in 1986. This cover was a touchstone for the new musical subgenre of rap rock.

Not Amazing Album Artwork – Cover Of 11th AEROSMITH Album ‘GET A GRIP’ Released 30 Years Ago

Posted on by JL

9 May 2023

Band: AEROSMITH

Album: GET A GRIP – their 11th
Released: 8 May 1993, 30 years ago

Artwork: An image of a cow with a captive bead nipple ring through
its udder and a brand of the Aerosmith logo. It was designed by renowned
artist Hugh Syme Music critic Steven Hyden called it “the worst album cover ever“, expressing surprise that Syme was responsible for it given his other work.

An animal-rights group objected to the cover art, but the band confirmed the image
had been digitally altered and did not depict an actual act of animal cruelty.

The music was crap too, except for this knockout.

Amazing Artwork! Cover Of ‘NINE LIVES’ By AEROSMITH – 25 Years Ago

Posted on by JL

For your eyes only

Band: AEROSMITH

Album: NINE LIVES – their 12th
Released: 25 years ago this year

Artwork: The original cover was inspired by a painting by Indian monk
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Praphupada. It visualizes Lord Krishna with
a cat’s head and female breasts dancing on the head of the snake demon,
Kaliya. The Hindu community reacted shocked and disapproved of the
offensive artwork.

Aerosmith themselves had no idea of the origin of the artwork. The record
label replaced it for the following presses of the LP with an image of a cat
tied to a circus knife-thrower’s wheel.
