Where Do Aerosmith Get Their Guns?
I dont think Aerosmith are going to go down in history as the saviors of heavy metal—if it needs any—but theyve proven conclusively that they know where to cop their licks and keep them percolating sufficiently that this album just went platinum.

I dont think Aerosmith are going to go down in history as the saviors of heavy metal—if it needs any—but theyve proven conclusively that they know where to cop their licks and keep them percolating sufficiently that this album just went platinum. When Steven Tyler sings "You really aint that young" on "Sick As a Dog," you know hes transcended his (and everybodys) J agger fixatiori to become what he behejd—sons all class and intelligence, of course, but thats beside the point, since what'he and we have been beholding all through the Seventies is a Stones flakey and dissolute at best, so that young Tyler in his makeup looks as greasy as old J agger in his. That Stevens lyrics are generally lousy is compensated by this being one of the .few bands alive that really, blatantly listened, to "We Love You."
