Having listened to Aerosmith for as long as I have, I tend to believe them. The Aerosmith/Stones connection/similarities in my opinion is far more a product of lazy music journalists than it ever was a product of Aerosmith's music.

Musically, maybe.
Visually, they could be a Stones '72 Tribute band.
What would I do without you DP? I can't figure out how it was I never knew that Aerosmith did an "Unplugged"... I'm going to blame it on the lack of cable tv, amount of practicing I was doing and the booze that I was pouring in me during that year I was in college! I know what I'm going to be searching for and listening to on youtube tonight!
As usual, I'm in your debt. Again. Still. Even more!

Since they are often referred to as Stones rip offs (I agree on the image aspect not so much on the music), I am curious how fellow Stones fans feel about Aerosmith's version of this early Stones cover.

I've always liked both versions. Pretty sure I heard the Aerosmith version before I heard the Stones but I liked the Stones 'strut' as a contrast to the Aerosmith 'swagger' as soon as I heard it. To this day, whenever I get one of my band's to cover the tune, I always try to get a bit of BOTH versions in the tune... A bit of A-smith attitude with the Stones strut sounds pretty good to my ears. As much as it pains me to say it, I'm REALLY GLAD that neither act decided to cover the first 6 seconds of Rufus Thomas' original... As much as I love his version, I can't STAND that horn fanfare/prelude that he put at the front of his cut. After that, I can easily hear why the Stones, Aerosmith and countless others have wanted to cover that tune!

Aerosmith's unplugged version was very good, imo.

Aerosmith claim that the Yardbirds were a bigger influence on them than the Stones.

I really like Aerosmith's version. The Stones and Rufus' too.
