Being a Rock Vocalist I’m used to being on stage and meeting Rock Stars, but when I met Aerosmith this past weekend I was at a loss for words. Aerosmith and I share a lot of history. They aren’t aware of it, and I’m sure thousands upon thousands of people can say the same thing. It’s deep and its personal.
Coming from New England I remember first hearing this band from Boston. Hard edged. Hard Driving. They were like the Red Sox. No matter how many times they fell to their knees, broke up, rehab, etc…. we were always there to cheer them on. They were our boys. And now, like the Red Sox, they are on top and everyone is a fan. Worldwide.
Steven Tyler is the coolest human being I have ever met. It doesn’t matter his age. His soul is young and still vibrant. Two hours he went crazy on stage and I sang every word with him. How he does it, I don’t know. I was doing vocal warm-ups this morning and my voice is still a bit raw.
So, not only did I meet Aerosmith this weekend, the night before my band Electric Messiah opened up for LA Guns. We had an amazing show and will have videos and pictures to follow soon.
In the meantime, here are a few pics of this epic weekend.
Namaste,
David
