I was youtubing and came across this song. I think it is pure musical genius. I think it is my favorite song off of Toys In The Attic. I definitely like Aerosmith music when they were drug heads for sure. They hit perfection with this song i.m.o..

For the longest time I didn't really give Aerosmith the time of day… I thought they were like an "American Knock-Off" of Led Zeppelin—who were, and still are, my #2 favorite band.

 

But as I began to hear more of them more—and more by them—I grew to appreciate them.

 

This is my favorite by them. So dark, menacing, and ballsy!

Thats why I love the album GEMS......had all those early great songs that didn't make the regular greatest hits album.

 

No more no more

Rats in the cellar

No surprise

Nobody's fault

etc, etc, etc.......

 

Love that early stuff that never makes it on the radio.

I love that song, as well. I was guilty of only playing that side of the album, over and over when it first came out. Never playing the other side. After about a year or two I never really played it anymore. So in the mid 80's when that rap version of walk this way came out I had no idea it was on toy's in the attic, even though I played that album a million times.

I just downloaded Chip Away at the Stone today.

I really love that song. Always have. [thumbup]

 

odd that they only played it live until '78 Bootleg....i've read that it was actually a .45 rpm B-side that never made it to a "proper album" until then due to a managers bad judgement.

 

I play it almost every time I pick up a guitar.

 

edit....just did some research & evidently it was side B to '74 S.O.S. from Get Your Wings.

 

 

just for curiousity, anyone else here see them at "Champagne Jam" '79 or '80?

I saw both.....Grant Field (old Atlanta Braves stadium)...Steven was soooo wasted that he fell during one song, and didn't bother getting back up until 2 songs later, think that was '79.

 

 

seen them 5 times total......how many times have y'all seen them live?

I saw them on the" Nine Lives" tour, it was awesome. I was surprised, Brad Whitford did about 90% of the lead guitar work, wasn't expecting that, he is a helluva guitar player ( we all know that). Steven Tyler was all over the stage doin flips and being a great front man. Awesome concert

Yes, Brad is easily as good as Joe... if not, better.

Yeah I was front row right in front of Brad and he definitely is the glue that held every song together. Really an unsung guitar hero.

Got to meet him after the show and he was just a great guy making sure everybody had pictures and autographs.

Between Brad and Joe being awesome, the groove Tom and Joey lay down and Tyler being Tyler.......it is like a text book for great rock.
