TOOL is an incredible band, and 7empest is brilliant.

Aerosmith = horrible.

Here is a review of the Aerosmith atrocities in The Washington Post

Aerosmith and Run-DMC

Steven Tyler, sporting a dead caterpillar on his upper lip (and, eventually a sideways baseball cap — really), sounded flat and almost hoarse as he launched into “Livin' on the Edge” for no apparent reason, given that a performance of “Walk This Way” had been touted the entire evening. Soon enough, though, Aerosmith transitioned into the rock-rap hybrid that took the world by storm in 1986.

After singing the first verse, Tyler stopped to say something was missing. Cue Run-DMC bursting through a small brick wall, just like in the famous music video. Let’s cut to the chase. It sounded awful. It sounded so bad, it was hard to tell whether there were technical malfunctions or not. All the sounds — the voices, the record scratches, the guitars, the drums — blended together into one droning monotone, like listening to a dial tone at top volume. It sounded like they were individually performing the song in different rooms at different times. We’d offer a more in-depth review, but we couldn’t actually differentiate any of the noises. The best moment of the performance was when Tyler yelled “let’s get out of here” because we knew this particular embarrassment was finally ending.

AFTER AEROSMITH'S LAME PERFORMANCE IT SHOULD BE CALLED "THE GRANNIES"

Perry's playing was on par with Keith's worst 2007-shows (Living On The Edge). Totally unpredictable, strumming away on wrong chords etc. After they did the stairs, they turned him down... Tyler was ok on Walk This Way, but I wonder why they chose Living On The Edge, as he never really did that one well in concert.

«Dead caterpillar»? Well, that's below the belt

Is it really that bad, Dandy? I watched it again and while it is surely not their best performance, I don't hear Joe strumming on wrong chords. But yeah, I don't have the best ear, so I might just as well be wrong. I think the biggest problem is the horrible sound mix. Anyway, I think Keith was able to play much much worse in 2007

Listen while they're walking down the stairs (round 1:13)

It's not bad all the way through, though, but I'm not used to hearing Aerosmith like this. They never were a sloppy, swinging, rolling band like the Stones. They were more precise. More rock. Less roll, imo.

I think the sound got worse when they turned Joe down. When the lead guitar just vanished into the mix, the sound became a mess.

Oh yea, you are right, when he walks down the stairs, it sounds off, I think it is probably because of Joe paying attantion to the stairs (I realized I also do that way more now than I did when I was younger, falling down the stairs is no fun - and I am waaay younger than Joe).

As for Joe's playing in general - I think there has always been a strong element, that might sound as sloppiness. What I mean is, that he uses strange notes in his solos, that sometimes sound unexpected or even off and the timing is sometimes also pretty strange. I have learned the Walk This Way and Eat the Rich solos, which I find absolutely great, but they don't have any strong melody as is usual with guitar solos, at least I found them quite difficult to learn because of that (more difficult than say Gilmour's Comfortably Numb, which has beautiful melody and sounds totally "logical"). I don't know if I make any sense, but I can't explain it better

I agree that Aerosmith and especially their guitar section usually sounds tight, but I think it is mainly thanks to Brad, who is sensational and totally underrated guitar player. He is there to keep it together, while Joe brings the wild dangerous element. That is how I have always seen them, that is what I like about them.

And as I already wrote, this particular Grammy performance has absolutely horrible sound, but for instance I find their Donington 2014 DVD (which I think is really great) also unusually mixed, and the guitars also sound kind of funny at places. Still a great document.

I bought, back in 1987 or 1988, the first LP from Death Angel, called "The Ultra Violence".

"Is it really that bad"? Hahaha No, it's worse than bad, it was painful.

Keith has always made mistakes, but that performance by Aerosmith was one big mistake. Truly horrific.....

Good on Death Angel! I hope to see thrm in March with Testament and Exodus in Dublin, what an incredible bill.

Remember "Act III" from the late 80s; their most recent "Humanicide" good also.

wasn't death angel produced or discovered by glam frontman davy vain from the band vain?

I REALLY hope that tour comes to the U.S. I was so disappointed that it was in Europe only, but the metal scene has fallen off rapidly. The number of good tour packages in the U.S. has dwindled over the past few years.

His ass probably looks better than half those Grammy Artists, too. Although I don't want to be the one to have to judge such things if it means looking at them.

Nikkei: don't feel bad, most native English speakers at least in America wouldn't know the difference anyhow. And they are proud of it.
