Right you lot! Today's a very special day, 'cause today we (meaning all us Aeroheads) celebrate the life of the one and only Mr. Steven Tyler! And, as you may have guessed from the headline of this bit, I'd like to dedicate today's little post to the Deamon of Screamin' himself!!
The Bad Boys from Boston's frontman was born Steven Victor Tallarico on March 26, 1948 in Yonkers, New York. He is of Italian, German, Ukrainian and Cherokee descent and in 1996 he attended a local rock concert in Sunapee, New Hampshire where he first met future bandmembers Joe Perry (guitar) and Tom Hamilton (bass). Aerosmith was born and Steven Tyler, with his insanely sexy looks, his screamer voice and his trademark sign of colourful scarves dangling from his microphone stand all the time and any place, was to become one of the greatest frontman in rock history ever.
Last year, Rolling Stone magazine voted him #99 of the 100 best singers ever. Considering there are so many other brilliant ones out there, and considering so many people - not me, of course -think Tyler can't sing, this is pretty cool.
So let's raise a glass to the f*cking greatest and most acrobatic rock singer in the world. I wish him all the best and lots of love and I am VERY confident the new Aerosmith album, which is in the works right now, AND the upcoming tour following its release, will be - literally - the ultimate Screamer!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, STEVEN!!!!!
