“You talk about things and nobody cares
You’re wearing other things that nobody wears
You’re calling my name but you gotta make clear
I can’t say baby where I’ll be in a year “

What’s there to really tell about Sweet Emotion. Another classic Aerosmith hit about groupies and living the rock star, love on the run lifestyle. Lyrics after the fold.

We all know how cover songs can go from a classic original to a badly butchered peice of rotten meat real quick, right? Luckily for us this isn’t the case, but honestly, can anyone think of a cover song that Guns N Roses did that was actually bad? Their Spaghetti Incident cd was quite cool and featured cover songs of all sorts with that G n’ R feel to them. This cover of Aerosmith’s Mama Kin was on the Gn’R Lies album which had all sorts of great tunes on it. Enjoy the a live version by Aerosmith first and …read more

“I know what nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know its everybodys sin
You got to lose to know how to win”

Aerosmith – Dream On~

It doesn’t get much more classic Aerosmith than this. The music has a deep sound to it as do the lyrics have a deep message. “Everybody’s got their dues in life to pay” and “You got to lose to know how to win”. Those are two statements to live by. I’m not the first to say this and I won’t be the last. Nothing is handed to you in life without a price. One way …read more

“I’m back in the saddle again
I’m back
I’m back in the saddle again
I’m riding, I’m loading up my pistol
I’m riding, I really got a fistful
I’m riding, I’m shining up my saddle
I’m riding, this snake is gonna rattle”

Aerosmith – Back In The Saddle~
 
Back In The Saddle was one of my favorites as a kid. I don’t know what it is about this song, but it just gets you going. Used in various movie sound tracks, this song is undoubtedly an anthem for someone getting back on their feet, making a comeback, coming back to life, etc. There is really not much more …read more

“You’re the reason I live
You’re the reason I die
You’re the reason I give
When I break down and cry
Don’t need no reason why”

Aerosmith – Angel~

The beginning of a weeks worth of Daily Aerosmith Doses Begins today! Of all the great power ballads that Aerosmith has come out with, Angel has hands down got to be my favorite. From the explosive way it starts to the chorus, everything about this song screams classic 80’s power ballad at it’s best. Since Permanent Vacation, the album that Angel is off of, Aerosmith have seemed to find a niche that works by putting at least one …read more

To celebrate the recent release of Guitar Hero Aerosmith, which I will probably buy sometime soon, I’ve decided to make this week’s Daily Dose band non other than the legendary Aerosmith. I’m going to try to fit as much Aerosmith features in as I can besides just the Daily Dose. We’ll see what else is out there. Enjoy.
