Aerosmith is an American rock band formed in Boston in 1970.
The group consists of Steven Tyler (lead vocals), Joe Perry (guitar, vocals), Tom Hamilton (bass), Joey Kramer (drums), and Brad Whitford (guitar). Their style, which is rooted in blues-based hard rock, has come to also incorporate elements of pop-rock, heavy metal, and rhythm and blues, and has inspired many subsequent rock artists.
Tyler speaks at length about the origins of the songs: The music for ‘Dream On’ was originally written on a Steinway upright piano in the living room of Trow-Rico Lodge in Sunapee, maybe four years before Aerosmith even started. I was seventeen or eighteen. … It was just this little thing I was playing, and I never dreamed it would end up as a real song or anything. … It’s about dreaming until your dreams come true.
