Bomb Brigade
This band never again came close (although TOYS IN THE ATTIC and ROCKS were valiant efforts)to the timeless masterpiece that it had given the world with GET YOUR WINGS. There was an urgency in Joe Perry's playing and in Steven Tyler's brilliant voice in songs such as S.O.S.(TOO BAD),SAME OLD SONG AND DANCE,and the group's reworking of the Tiny Bradshaw classic TRAIN KEPT A ROLLIN' that more than exceeds any hard rock band at their peak.It is purely obvious why the band chose to cover the first song that their idols,Led Zeppelin,had ever played together as a band;arrant bombastic energy. The laid back vibe and inherent moodiness of LORD OF THE THIGHS and SPACED are as fundamental a component of the successful structure of a classic Aerosmith song as screaming guitar licks are to the early Van Halen library...and no one can capture that casual,yet ready to explode at any moment,vibe better than Mr.Tyler himself. Why these songs haven't been covered and recovered by every hard rock act in the world three times over by now remains a mystery;these are the true roots of rock n' roll as we know and love it! As the rating above puts it,A MASTERPIECE OF METAL MUSIC!
