"Tananana...Dude looks like a lady..." what a coincidence: I think of writing about them and they start singing in my earphones at the radio. I read today about Steven Tyler's latest news.
First of all, you have to know that there's an Italian movie of some years ago called, in its translation, "I will marry Simon Le Bon". Yeah, because in the 80s we all remember the eternal fight between Le Bon's fans and Hadley's ones from Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet. Well, always prefering rock music to everything else, my personal movie, since I was a baby, would have been "I will marry Steven Tyler". I love rock music in its every single chord and it's very hard to find a rock band or singer who I don't like at all...but, before everyone, there's always been Steven to me. Usually I'll find silly to talk just about the frontman and not the all band, but the point is that, never as today, trying to imagine Aerosmith without him forever make me wanna say that yes, they're great and always will be, but without "The God among mortals", "The Demon of screamin'", they will be as exactly as Queen without Freddie Mercury, Guns 'n' Roses without Axl, U2 and Rolling Stones with no more Bono nor Mick...I mean, c'mon, how is this actually possible and how could they actually don't just fall apart? To not mention the fact that finally see them live is a great dream of mine...and I can't really believe that this could remain a dream forever and nothing else. I hate to be so damn young, I hate to live here (well, that's for several reasons, not just because Aerosmith don't come here of course)...every type of riffraff comes play to Italy...then why I'm forced to never see they, you know, for example in my Stadium, my "Home", San Siro?
My passion, my love for Aerosmith definitely go back up the first time I ever listened to their amazing "Crazy"...then I remember the heat with "Janie's got a gun", the anger because lots of folks in the World think that "Aerosmith = I don't want to miss a thing" and that's all...then the first time I went to the Hard Rock Café in Boston...there, everything speaks of them...and then the first time I've listened to the a cappella part of "What it takes" live... How couldn't I have fallen in love?
I don't care about who says they have never been "rock 'n' roll" enough, I don't care about who claims they aren't "Aerosmith" anymore...after almost 40 years you know, the bullshits said are always the same and always die hard, but we know, people are so good at talk as well as talk is cheap.
And I...I just do care about music, feelings, "sweet emotions"...and when I hear, when I feel Steven's voice...there's all of this and that's quite enough to me to start shaking, to just feel so damn good.
