  • Aerosmith: La Banda Indestructible
    It's only rock & roll | Pep Saña | Actualitzat el 13/04/2016 a les 18:39 Aerosmith: La banda indestructible Malgrat la seva durabilitat i popularitat durant més de quatre dècades, Aerosmith mai han rebut el respecte que mereixen per part dels crítics. Als anys 70, sempre van ser considerats imitadors de segona dels Rolling Stones. A causa de la semblança física i escènica entre Steven Tyler i Mick Jagger i entre Joe Perry i Keith Richards, Aerosmith van ser inicialment etiquetats de voler-se promocionar com els Rolling Stones americans. Però mentre que The Rolling Stones estaven decididament orientats cap a un so essencialment lligat al rock'n'roll, Aerosmith, amb el volum més alt, es movien entre un hard melodic i un boogie ?metalero?. La veritable semblança entre els dos grups, nomes eren els morros de Tyler i de Jagger. Però la indestructible banda de Boston sempre ha tingut la seva originalitat, gràcies a la veu del seu líder Steven Tyler, les guitarres de Joe Perry i Brad Whitford, i una imponent secció rítmica amb Tom Hamilton al baix i Joey Kramer a la bateria. A diferència de molts dels seus similars, Aerosmith sempre han mantingut una propera connexió amb les seves arrels de blues que encara avui influeixen la seva música fins a la peça més comercial. L'habilitat d'Aerosmith de confondre als seus crítics contínua sent una de les seves millors característiques, cap al final dels anys 80, la banda, ferida per problemes de droga i tensions entre ells, va ser àmpliament considerada com acabada per la indústria musical.

He captioned the picture, which he posted on Saturday: “Our little one has arrived...Beautiful baby boy...Happy Valentines Day @misslivalittle (sic)” The little boy - whose name has not been disclosed - is said to be “happy and healthy”, despite being born six weeks early. The actress’ spokesperson said last week: “He’s healthy and everyone is very happy. But he will need to remain in the hospital for some time.” Liv’s rocker father Steven Tyler recently admitted he cried “like a baby” when he learned his daughter had gone into labour. He wrote on his Facebook page, Steven said: “When I got the call that Liv Tyler was going into labor, after crying like a baby myself, I immediately dropped everything and went to the airport to get on the next available flight... “When I landed I kept calling my daughter Mia Tyler who was already helping Liv and she kept giving me minute by minute updates,”HURRY THE BABY IS COMING!” “I made it RIGHT in time before my second grandson entered this world. It was another (God wink) moment of a lifetime for me.” Kanye West poked fun at himself during a live link he ‘Bound 2’ rapper strode onto the stage at the Grammy Awards last weekend to Kelly Osbourne wants Tdemonstrate his unhappiness Beck had beaten Beyonce to the Album of the Year prize - mimicking his 2009 disruption of Taylor Swift’s speech at the MTV Video Music Awards when she also triumphed over the ‘Drunk in Love’ singer - and echoed his antics on the red carpet yesterday when he tried to grab the microphone from NBC host to have a baby Matt Lauer as he closed the coverage ready to link to the broadcast of the main show.
