The band's never taken a year off. Last August we decided to take one, and three months in I was bored to tears.
There's nothing like an Aerosmith groove
But you've reached them, and I've always wanted to reach people. I'm the first one to say I love my fans because they love that I took a chance.
Did you eat a lot of paint chips as a child?
The blues are just a heightened sense of awareness of life's ups and downs, and things that a guy sees after a couple hits of Jack Daniels.
Once upon a time . . .” “In the beginning was . . .” That’s the way it always starts off. Every story, gospel, history, chronicle, myth, legend, folktale, or old wives’ tale blues riff begins with “Woke up this mornin’. . . .
Back then it was nothing like today. So you'd go to the bowling alley. We bowled and you could be in the back and you could make out, you know? And you know how hot it was to make out.
Why not share with the world the way it is and tell them my feelings about my cat, and how I played with my kids, and how addicted to Christmas time I am, and the smell of pine needles and hearing my kids laugh.
We believed anything worth doing was worth over-doing
It doesn't feel good when you're put down, and especially for no uncertain reason.
She's blonde with all the hits. Taylor Swift. She's hot. More than that, she's beyond talented. I have to write a song with her.
Guns 'N' Roses music was part of the fabric of all people.
I ran into Axl [Rose] at a club some year ago and told him he's crazy, we all miss them, and he needs to get the band back together.
In the end, I get a really good song, and in the end, I get the hits. Yeah, I'm that good.
Never judge a book by it's cover or who you're going to love by your lover.
I'm really just a country boy.
Drugs will get you out of your own way, but we lived it, and that's dangerous. It can actually turn around on itself and steal your soul, and that's what happened.
They've been stepping on my toes for years. It's just a reason to get new boots.
My toes are all squished. During an operation, they had to take nerves out.
Fake it until you make it.
I have a big ego, but I don't buy into it. I can't live off the ego. It's an honor that I get to be that guy onstage. It's not something I earned.
Aerosmith-one of the 10 best bands today? Yeah definitely.
I just want Aerosmith to always give me a hard-on, that's all I ever ask for, for it to be the most special thing in my life. As long as I look at it through those eyes, it will always be that way.
I wait till the last minute to do lyrics. I seem to work best that way - bummed out and under pressure. I often don't do my homework. But I'll always walk that extra mile.
When you start a rock n' roll band, you've gotta fake it till you make it. You begin by doin' what you love- and what you love is usually what some other people have already done. It just depends on how much of a fool you make of yourself along the way to finding your own sound, assuming you find it.
