Graduated in '81, THIS! Our class's 60th birthday is July 1st. We decided that our 40th class reunion needed an encore! Oh my, Aerosmith!! Thanks for the tune!
Yes he wrote it as teenager but it was recorded when he was about 25. Aerosmith is my favorite band. I’ve seen them live in concert 30 times. If you want other suggestions from the 70s, there’s sweet emotion, walk this way, back in the saddle. From the 80’s there’s dude looks like a lady, love in an elevator, what it takes, and janies got a gun. From the 90’s there’s cryin, crazy, amazing, I don’t want to miss a thing. There’s a whole lot more. They are the best selling American rock band in history. They have like 40 plus songs that were in the charts. Influencers were Fleetwood Mac, and Janis Joplin. Lots of old blues as well.
You might be the only person I've come across who has seen them in concert more time than me. My favorite band as well. James Brown was another of Steven Tyler's influences. 4.1 octave range, and, yes, the most successful American rock band, one of only 10 musical acts to have crossed the half billion dollar mark in concert ticket sales.
I’m a terrific fan of Aerosmith and I googled and nowhere was anything mentioned that he wrote dream on when he was a teenager. The song is fabulous I love it. Like you said he had hits ever since the 70’s when his first album came out.
Thanks for mentioning that-it was driving me crazy haha. I think he was actually 21 when he wrote it, since he wrote in ‘69? Correct me if I’m wrong of course, but recording it would place at about 25 as you said.
I love Steven Tyler and Aerosmith !!! Masterful lyrics and tone. Rich texture to his voice. You should also listen to another artist Singing "Sound of Silence" by Disturbed.

I have somebody for you to check out and react to, she was 15 years old when she recorded her version of "Human", her name is Diana Ankudinova from Russia. Low scale off the charts!!!! She also covers "I Can't Help Falling in Love" and "Wicked Games". I hope you are as blown away as I was when I first saw her. Unbelievable. Enjoy.💞
‘Dream On’ came of me playing the piano when I was about 17 or 18, and I didn’t know anything about writing a song. It was just this little sonnet that I started playing one day. I never thought that it would end up being a real song.” - Steven Tyler
I grew up in Lynn Mass. Aerosmith was a club band in the Boston area back then. My best friends uncle owned a bar in Peabody called the Summit Club that Aerosmith actually played in their younger days. Hells Angels frequented the bar back then . It was a time in history that will never be again. They went on to become superstars and legends! I remember helping to remodel the club years later and taking down the Paneling with murals of Steven Tyler painted on them.
Steven Tyler had been playing music from his mid-teens ... 'Dream on' was an early song he had written on piano, long before Aerosmith. Tyler actually began playing drums for bands - The Chain Reaction was one of his early outfits... After a few years playing the bar scene in Boston, he met guitarist Joe Perry (who was 2 yrs younger) and saw him perform as a trio w/ bassist Tom Hamilton in 1970... he knew he had a songwriting partner with Perry and formed a new band with Hamilton on bass, his friend Ray Tabano on guitar... Tyler played drums in rehearsals, until drummer Joey Kramer joined the band - it was Kramer who named the band Aerosmith after a book title, 'The Arrowsmith'. Brad Whitford (who was only 18) replaced Tabano on guitar, and Aerosmith had a solid line-up. When Aerosmith finally got signed to CBS Records in 1972, they didn't have many songs written... so Steven Tyler ( who was about 24 or 25 at the time) brought songs he had written from years ago to the band to record... Joe Perry hated 'Dream on' because it was a ballad, so Brad Whitford did most of the guitars on it, while Tyler played the piano.
55yr old here...most of us were kicked out, by 13yrs old...by 17...we'd done most things already and had our own apartments...or lived from party to party to survive! Sad but true! Gave him a rose with cc in it at his show once...I was 14yrs old! 🤘
Dude the story is great . Steven and the boys lived on Comm Ave in Noston and he drove them nuts playing the piano part over and over . He said it would make them rich . Mission accomplished kid .
The first concert I ever went to was Aerosmith in 1978. My big sister was forced to take me if she wanted to go with her date. It was an awesome first experience, and I can't count how many times I have seen them after that. Dream On, Sweet Emotion, and Draw the Line, are my top 3 favorites. Pink is up there too though.
There are a ton of great Aerosmith tracks over the past 40+ years. I'll let others tell you about those. What I want to tell you about, however, is the song Eminem did that sampled this song. The song is called "Sing for the Moment" and is my favorite Eminem track outside of Lose Yourself. It might eve be my fav above that one. It's just done so well. I recommend reacting to that song as well. Enjoy bro!
I've read he was 15 or 17 when he wrote it, but a recent Google says he was 26 or 27 when it was recorded in 1973. I was never that big into Aerosmith, but Walk this Way is a favorite, and I'm hoping some other fans will recommend more of their earlier stuff.
When I watched this and heard you ask for their hits AND album cuts I hit the subscribe button. Their hits have been played to death by reaction channels. As a lifelong Aerosmith fan I feel if you really want to know what they are about turn the radio stuff off and dig deep. If I could make some suggestions from some of their albums..... Aerosmith.... One Way Street, Moving Out Get Your Wings....Same Old Story Same Old Song and Dance, Pandora's Box Toys in the Attic....Uncle Salty, Big Ten Inch Rocks....Nobody's Fault Live Bootleg....Ain't Got You/ Mother Popcorn Some more from various albums....Kings and Queens, Milk Cow Blues, St. John, F.I.N.E., Young Lust
Def Leppard were only about 20 yrs old when they were signed in 1979 and recorded their first album 'On through the night'... Their drummer Rick Allen was only 16 when he played on that album. Listen to songs like 'Hello America' and 'Wasted'... amazing for such young talent. Metallica were 19 when they came together in 1981 and 21 in 1983 when they recorded their first album "Kill 'em all". But I have to say that guitarist Yngwie J. Malmsteen (pronounced "ing-vay ma'am steen") was an exceptional talent, releasing his first album 'Yngwie J. Malmsteen's Rising Force' in 1984, where he wrote all the music and played guitar on a mostly instrumental record... Listen to the track 'Black star' - Malmsteen was only 20 when he wrote that, and he was playing professionally as late teen in the band Alcatrazz before that. There's an amazing live performance of the track 'Evil Eye' from early 1984 w/ Alcatrazz🤘🤘🔥🔥on CZcams
🤘🤘🤘🤘 There's an Australian band called SILVERCHAIR that was big in the 90s and when they came out with their song TOMORROW the guys in the band were only 14 and 15 years old!! You would never guess that the lead singer was 15 based on how amazing his voice was. Plus the song is still a total banger today. 😍😍😍🤘🤘
This song is as amazing as then I heard it 40 years ago. I also recommend :Eruption", by Eddied VanHalen. You can thank me later, believe me. It is widely considered the best guitar solo EVER.
Alright! Another great reaction! Liked and subscribed to you sir! Judging by the way you're moving to the music shows you got complete faith in the song 👍😁 ..really enjoyed it! Thanks!
Janie’s got a gun, loving it up in an elevator, sweet emotion, walk this way, back in the saddle, same old son, come together. If you want to see another extremely young singer/band…Silverchair. Watch the Australian version of tomorrow. The singer was 14
That whole first album is fire. So many good songs on it in fact I love every song on it. One of my favorites just for that basic hard banging rock and roll and his voice is just so driving, also from this same first album is, Mama Kin. m.czcams.com/video/D_lEQoNM70A/video.html
You definitely gotta focus on the music and the singing. That was the worst video I’ve ever seen a Van Halen. I love Van Halen. Eddie Van Halen is by far my favorite guitar player in the world. Extremely innovating, People wanted to play like Eddie. I just started following you and I don’t know if you have featured Eddie Van Halen in his 17 minute Eruption guitar solo. But if you haven’t you’ll get to it eventually. Thanks for featuring in AC/DC an Van Halen you’re getting it going. Those subs will go up before you know it Keep up the good content
Thank you for watching . I definitely appreciated it. I haven’t yet been able to see Eddie really do his thing but I have heard so many great things about him. Stay tuned.

@@susan49c it should be out there somewhere. I know it’s a fact though. Also, you do know the name Aerosmith isn’t just the lead singer right?
A lot of their early lyrics were poetic. "Kings and queens and guillotines...".
Thanks for mentioning that-it was driving me crazy haha. I think he was actually 21 when he wrote it, since he wrote in ‘69? Correct me if I’m wrong of course, but recording it would place at about 25 as you said.
Steven Tyler has such an incredible range with beefy low and insane high registers… even now - in his 70’s he has the range. He’s simply the best.
The music back then so much better than today
Seen them in concert when I was a teenager, thats not reverb, thats his voice.
Seasons of wither is my favorite Aerosmith song...
Aerosmith is awesome. Tremendous vocals and lead guitar. I think Dream On is on the top 10 greatest hits of all-time. If not then it should be.
I don’t think that was reverb back then 🤔
He’s always been Awesome!!!
I love Steven Tyler and Aerosmith !!! Masterful lyrics and tone. Rich texture to his voice. You should also listen to another artist Singing "Sound of Silence" by Disturbed.

Bruh this was recorded in the 70s. That’s just his voice, no reverb.
That’s Amazing.
Sooo talented & still are, very amazing!!!
Sweet Emotion is another good one.
Agree. Great song. And the official video has a funny plot twist at the end.

Thanks for watching and also giving me the history that is very interesting.
I agree totally.have a nice day
Love from France 🇲🇫
Steven Tyler wrote this when he was 14 and sang it @26. Writing those lyrics at 14 is PHENOMENAL! Singing this at any age is VERY IMPRESSIVE!
He was not 14. He was 17
A classic that I listened to as soon as I was born

I love Aerosmith and I am so glad that you reacted to this. It is Iconic.
The old stuff is my favorite. Spaced--love that song.
Steve Winwood was 15 when he joined the Spencer Davis group and did “Gimme some lovin’”. Check that one out 😉
My high school in Massachusetts nearly booked them for a dance but at $500 they were beyond our budget.
Dude the story is great . Steven and the boys lived on Comm Ave in Noston and he drove them nuts playing the piano part over and over . He said it would make them rich . Mission accomplished kid .
Live and learned from Fools and from Sages one of my favorite lyrics. Thats life!
Like others have said, he was 17 when he wrote it. I believe he was 23 or so when they recorded this
So glad to see young people enjoying the music of my generation. ❤️💫
The first concert I ever went to was Aerosmith in 1978. My big sister was forced to take me if she wanted to go with her date. It was an awesome first experience, and I can't count how many times I have seen them after that.
Dream On, Sweet Emotion, and Draw the Line, are my top 3 favorites. Pink is up there too though.
Best chaperon job ever!!!
Alex, Toys in the Attic is a must add album to your vinyl collection!
Yes! And Rocks!!
"Jaded" by Aerosmith
these guys played at my high school dances and at the local clubs at the beach. I have soon many wonderful memories growing up Boston!
They are phenomenal. One of my favorites of theirs is "Rag Doll".
Cryin was really good too
Me and the girls in the cemetery listening to train kept a Rollin ❤😅
Best screamer in ròcck.
Glad to see young people enjoying the music of my generation. You should check out “Jaded.” ❤️💫

There is no reverb that's HIM I've seen them live 6 times that's what he sounds like
I blasted this song in high school hallways between periods 1978. Live Bootleg version. Toys in the attic is still a favorite.
Love the posted lyrics
My home town stuff, you sent me home ,I'm 3400 miles away though...thanks.
Omg love your reaction!! Try Chris Stapleton death row & I was wrong Austin city limits country blues & excellent on guitar please give it a chance!!
Run D&C and them call Walk this way or the song What it takes, thats a masterpiece
I've read he was 15 or 17 when he wrote it, but a recent Google says he was 26 or 27 when it was recorded in 1973.

This song is as amazing as then I heard it 40 years ago.
I also recommend :Eruption", by Eddied VanHalen. You can thank me later, believe me.
It is widely considered the best guitar solo EVER.
He was a trained opera singer
If you've read "good books" as a child, you age mentality.
i think he wrote this song at 14 years old if I'm not mistaken.
Check out their song Big 10 inch
Listen to Dream on from the boston marathon bombing tribute show. They are a boston band
He had a beautiful vibrato
Excellent reaction... and subscribed.
Alright! Another great reaction! Liked and subscribed to you sir! Judging by the way you're moving to the music shows you got complete faith in the song 👍😁 ..really enjoyed it! Thanks!
That's better
All these lines in my face getting clearer... not facial lines!!!! 🙃
Don’t forget the entire band all great musicians, love Joe Perry and that guitar 🎸
I had a major crush on Joe Perry. Always a sucker for a “bad boy”
He written the song when he was 17
Now watch Postmodern Jukebox/Morgan James version- AWESOME!!
He was 14 when he wrote it. Recorded in 73'. Making him 25.
he wrote the song when he was 14
Janie’s got a gun, loving it up in an elevator, sweet emotion, walk this way, back in the saddle, same old son, come together.

I heard he was 14 when he wrote it
You should react to another great band that started young... Metallica. Master of Puppets and so many more...
I’m definitely going to get those legends. Thanks for watching and stay tuned.
3:20 I am 13 but I am like that

Misinformation. Steven Tyler wrote it when he was a teenager but was in his early 20’s when he recorded.
Must must hear the first album. Totally ignored music so much good music especially moving out
Unfortunately it's entirely possible to have seen great pain as a teenager.
You definitely gotta focus on the music and the singing. That was the worst video I’ve ever seen a Van Halen. I love Van Halen. Eddie Van Halen is by far my favorite guitar player in the world.
