Good afternoon, today I have the pleasure of talking to you about one of the most popular and influential bands on the rock scene. I'm talking about the great group Aerosmith.

So let's start.

1970 Boston, United States, five friends decided to form a rock band with the desire to achieve a new style. It is worth mentioning that they all had experience in music and came from different bands. Steven Tyler played in a group called Chin reaction Tyler.

In 1969 he attended a local rock concert in Sonapi, Sullivan County, where he saw a band called the J Band and was amazed by the power and attitude that the group had. There he met Joe Perry, guitarist, and Tom Hamilton, bassist. He had not mentioned that Tyler had played drums in previous groups. So, this time he did not want to take that role. He insisted that he wanted to be the leader and lead singer. As you may know, the group contacted Joy Kramer, drummer for Jonkers in New York. Interestingly, Joy knew Tyler. Tyler also invited a friend from his childhood to join the band named Ray Tabano, occupying the rhythm guitar position. Now the name of the band was needed. Which brings us to a quick fact. Since its beginnings, the band experimented with different substances and during this time Ker wrote in his school notebooks the word "Iros Smith."

Inspired by Harry Nilson's Erial Bally album, the name was related to a tribute to the aerial circus act that Nilson's grandparents did by jumping through a biplane. The band decided to call themselves that after considering bananas Ested Jin and Spy Jones. So they christened themselves Aerosmith.

So that was the end of the story. The band's first concert was quickly held in Mendon, Massachusetts at the Nick Muk Regional High School. He had no problems with the rest of the band. So he was replaced by Brad Wilford, a character who was a well-educated musician. By this I mean that he attended the University of Berkeley's School of Music.

And so begins the story of the Boston bad boys who throughout their career were plagued by success, fame and no doubt the damn addictions that are never lacking in these stories. With more than 51 years of giving concerts, the band holds the record. of being the American group with the most gold and platinum records So it's time to turn up the volume on your headphones and speakers because today in rock stories I bring you the story of Aerosmith
