QuoteHis Majesty Howled, Jones didn't mime playing piano on Ruby Tuesday. Keith mimed the piano when they appeared playing that song.

QuoteDandelionPowderman IMO; Angus plays more fluently, with a more bluesy vibrato. Can't really hear the Kossoff/BB-thing that evidently (listen at 3:40). The fast vibrato and the often rapid pentatonic descent phrasing from a vibrato high note, very similar to Kossoff. No one can sound exactly like anyone else anyway, but Angus (and Mal) copped a lot of Kossoff. Angus back in 1

QuoteDandelionPowderman I like Kossof's playing, but I think Angus captured BB King's feel even better - although Kossof may have been a source of inspiration for Angus. BB's vibrato is one of the main things Kossoff picked up on but Kossoff's vibrato is different and really is his own thing to a fair extent and the only player I've heard that sounds very Kossoff like i

Well, why not some Free in an Aerosmith topic? One of the influential bands of the early 70s, when there were so many great ones around fuelled by the Blues/Rock boom of the 60s.

QuoteDandelionPowderman Angus has a lot of BB King in him as well. Malcolm is more of a traditional rhythm player than Keith and Whitford, the latter actually plays many of the more technical demanding solos in Aerosmith. So did Kossoff Interestingly Paul Rogers says he had a band called "Brown Sugar" in 1968.

Aerosmith are different to the Stones. They don't have the Richards/Watts loose feel thing and are more typical early 70s Rock. Joe has a fair bit of Rockabilly influence and Brad seems more of a scale type player to me anyway. Joe wrote a fair amount of the big tunes like "Walk This Way". Angus and Malcolm are coming more from a Free type thing more than anything else

The first is tuned to the fourth interval, the second to the fifth, the third to the tonic, the fourth also to the tonic and the fifth to the tonic of the lower octave.
