Vocal Coach Reaction to Aerosmith - Steven Tyler - Walk This Way - Live - Ken Tamplin
OK, I think it's time to "Walk This Way" and react to one of the greatest rock bands in rock history.
That band would be Aerosmith!
But it was not all sunshine and roses for the band.
And t here wasn’t a band filled with more uncertainty entering the '80s than Aerosmith. Even though they were riding high on '70s hits like “Sweet Emotion, " “Back in the Saddle,” and "Walk This Way,"
substance abuse and bitter infighting had taken its toll, leading to the exit of guitarist Joe Perry in the summer of 1979 during the recording sessions for Night in the Ruts, which came out at the end of the year. Richie Supa and Jimmy Crespo had helped round out the guitar parts, with the latter eventually taking Perry’s spot.
While an estranged Perry was launching a solo career with the Joe Perry Project, Aerosmith were struggling, playing scaled-down shows at smaller venues as opposed to the arenas they had been filling just a year or so before. The shows were also inconsistent: Four songs into a Jan. 20, 1980, set at the Cumberland County Civic Center in Portland, Maine, singer Steven Tyler was too inebriated to continue and pretended to collapse onstage.
“I dropped down and faked passing out,” Tyler said in 1997’s Walk This
Way: The Autobiography of Aerosmith. “I’m so good at it, I even shook my foot so it looked bad.”
Tyler was on the ground again that fall, but this time it was for real. Drunk and high, he crashed his motorcycle in New Hampshire in an accident so bad that it left his heel hanging off and put him in the hospital for two months. “I was in a cast up to my eyeballs,” Tyler said. He was lucky to be alive.
I personally remember about this time period where you could see Aerosmith at very small 200 seat venues only half full. (no kidding).
But Aerosmith, little by little started to clean up their act.
It was when famed rap group Run DMC covered the song "Walk This Way"
(a coloration put together by mega A&R Exec John Kalodner who went on to champion the band's success for the majority of their huge subsequent careers).
So it was about time I do a vocal coach reaction to this legendary group!
