Jimmy Page called...he wants his riff to "The Wanton Song" back.

Sounds like a shitty Get a Grip out take mixed with production from Just Push Eject.

When he's talking it sounds like "Eat the rich". Thought they were going back to their "roots"/Sounds pop/rock to me. Ah well, I can always put on "Rocks" and remember.

I thought it was an awful song. Did Joe forget to tune up? Even my wife commented "isn't he one of the best guitarists?"

Totally agree. Sounded like a bunch of noise.

This is a bit better than AI....but not all that much. Reminding me of the Just Push Play bullshit.

No doubt.

Sounds pretty damn good for a 64 yr old

Uh oh, I worried about this given the dysfunction in the songwriting engine since Honkin On Bobo. I have hopes, but more worries.

Was Jack Douglas producing the new Aerosmith album?

I think Jack produced Rocks which is defintely their best ever.

However i will not buy some shitty Just Push Play or Get A Grip sounding reject.

That's what we got with the lead single. The front page says it was a left over from the Get A Grip session.

I'm a huge Aerosmith fan.My first concert was Aerosmith with Joan Jett as opener back in 1989 on the Pump tour.To me the last really kickass album they did was Pump the first two songs on there are quite heavy Young Lust/F.I.N.E and the rest of that album was pretty good especially Voodoo Medicine Man another hard rocker from Pump.The follow up album Get A Grip is an album i've never really liked and that was when Aerosmith got way too commercial with all the ballads and videos with Alicia Silverstone.I just think that album was when they got way too poppy and radio friendly.Sure the '87 album Permanent Vacation and its '89 follow up Pump had a couple ballads on the albums but they were still basically hard rock guitar sounding albums.Both of those albums were really good.But like i said in 1993 and Get A Grip i just think they did a whole album of radio friendly pop along with cheesy videos that were mostly ballads.There are two songs on there i might've liked like Livin On The Edge and i think Amazing.I actually think Amazing was really good lyrically about Steven Tyler struggling with drug abuse and getting clean.Anyway after that they had another album of silly commercial tunes called Nine Lives with stuff like Pink and Falling In Love Is Hard On The Knees and then of course the ballad Don't Want To Miss A Thing which by then it seemed like Aerosmith was starting to get seduced by the money the ballads brought in.Next In 2001 i see them doing a tune with Justin Timberlake at the Super Bowl i think it was Jaded and the dreaded Just Push Play album.Looks like this new single in 2012 picks up where the crappy Just Push Play left off.The 70's and 80's Aerosmith had some great moments and albums but the last couple decades have not been that good.From the debut album in '73 all the way through Pump in '89 they had a couple decades and a dozen albums of really great tunes.Its in the 90's that Aerosmith started its downfall and the last three or four albums have been pretty bad starting in '93 with Get A Grip,'97 Nine Lives,'01 Just Push Play,etc.

I agree it went south for them with the huge commercial success of Get A Grip, hardly ANY of which I like. Perry's Walk On Down is a standout, maybe Boogie Man or whatever that dark instrumental was was good as was Line Up but that's it. Downhill since, til the glistening Honkin On Bobo, A New a terribly titled, but great album, then crickets since. Sunrise In Sedona off Devil's Got A New Disguise compilation is good but other than those it's been crickets chirping in the shrubs since Pump.

I personally have never seen Aerosmith in concert, always wanted to though. Unfortunetly when they tour around here ticket prices are stupidly high and I won't purchase them at the prices they charge.

Onto the music now. I agree Pump was a great album. Permanent Vacation I thought was/is an alright album. Get A Grip is an album that outside of a few tracks I've never cared to much for. Nine Lives I thought was a very good album personally. It's just an album that I've always liked, but I notice a lot of the Aero fans don't care for. After Nine Lives for me their music has taken a huge dump. Don't get me wrong they released some songs after that period that I like (Angel's Eye, Jaded, Beyond Beautiful, I Don't Want A Miss A THing) but for the most part Just Push Eject was fucking terrible on all levels, Bobo sucked, and the new song they released kind of sucks, but not as bad as their last two records. I hope the new album is somewhat good, but after hearing what they've released recently and Perry's last solo album I don't have much faith. Also why aren't Whitford, Kramer, and Hamilton. Weren't they key parts in some of Aerosmith's earlier work? Why aren't they helping Tyler/Perry write the songs now?

Aerosmith have already done what they came here to do (like most bands a lot of us like). Nothing matters now.

What rock band with a lead singer in his/her mid sixties has put out a song that sounds as good as something they put out 35 yrs earlier.(i'm guessing No one) Its all relative...song sounds fine for guys that can collect social security. Its no "walk this way" but it does have SWAG

If that's the best Tyler can sound with the benefit of a STUDIO these days, then I guess I'll never be seeing them live. Pretty blatant lift from Wanton Song too.
