Music Blog 13

Well, I made it back from the Aerosmith concert and I must say, It was INCREDIBLE! The music was insanity! The night opened up with an also awesome band that's been playing together for almost 40 years now, Cheap Trick! This band started out the night right, warming fans up and making the crowd go wild. At the concert, the seats were all filled, fans anxiously waiting for the main group of the night, Aerosmith! Cheap Trick played many famous songs of their time, bringing back memories for many of the older crowd in the audience. The band also performed many of my favorites, three of which were, "The Dream Police", "Surrender", and "I Want You To Want Me." 


But after Cheap Trick was done performing, the seemingly long intermission took place. The break really felt longer than the actual 40 minutes it was! But the lights soon went dim, and all of a sudden the crowd went wild and the stadium roared! Aerosmith had just come running out and started to play one of my fav. songs, "Love in an Elevator!" As the night went on, the band truly rocked the crowd! Steven Tyler, beginning to get older in age, was still singing and screaming throughout the stadium as if he was in his prime! The sound of his voice singing is incredible, along side with his awesome dancing! haha Aerosmith played all of my favorite songs, such as: "Love in an Elevator", "Last Child", "Livin' on the Edge", "Sweet Emotion", "Deuces are Wild", "Dream On", "What it takes", and "Back in the Saddle." In between the performance, drummer Joey Kramer rocked the crowd with a mouth dropping drum solo! As a drummer, I was truly astonished on how sick this solo was! All in all, this concert was incredible, and to anyone that is thinking about ever going to an Aerosmith concert, I say go as soon as possible! They won't be around forever so go to Aerosmith today!

Well today I decided I would tell you a little about what's coming up for me tomorrow, in reference to the music world!



Tomorrow night, my family and I are heading to a concert at the BB&T center... Anyone who is attending tomorrow is in for a special treat... performing tomorrow night is AEROSMITH! I'm soooo excited for this concert tomorrow it's pretty crazy actually haha! Aerosmith is one of the all time greatest rock & roll bands of all time. Their music has been played all over the world, selling millions and millions of albums, reaching the top hits charts multiple times, as well as selling albums that go platinum and even double platinum! At one time though, when their music wasn't producing enough revenue, the band made a breakthrough. They mixed in an album with the famous rap group, Run DMC. 

Together, they produced one of both band's most famous songs ever recorded, "Walk this way." The incredible song was filled with a mix of rock and rap, as well as being backed by a powerful music video. But throughout the band's career, like many rock bands, they faced some devastating problems along their rise to fame. Main singer, Steven Tyler, was a drug addict for many years, causing multiple disagreements and fights to occur within the band. The relationship that struggled the most because of this addiction was between Steven Tyler and guitarist, Joe Perry. For years, the two would fight and argue with one another, but after several unsuccessful attempts to become sober, Steven finally decided enough was enough. He soon became sober, rejoining with the band and going on to tour and sell many more albums. The band has been playing together for many many years, and I believe they will continue playing for many more, selling out concerts and theaters. 



As you can tell, I'm incredibly excited with going to see this concert tomorrow night! Next weekend I will be blogging about how well this went! well I'll see you guys soon!
