I am an American. I spent two weeks in Honduras in Central America and one night I was hanging out with some locals. A young man pulled out an old beat up guitar and strted playing Dream On perfectly. He did not know how to pronounce the English lyrics - so I started singing. A HUGE crowd gathered in a mountain village of Honduras as we - two strangers - connected through this beautiful song. It was sublime.

I agree, she's quite intuitive and she often quickly recognizes what a producer was trying to do by approaching something this way or that. And as for this example, things like that are generally intentional, and I seem to remember Tyler saying at the time it was released that it was an alarm. Regardless, most other artists I know learned over time that that the difference between so-called good and bad artists isn't how much talent they might have inside them, but how many ways they find to let it out. That creative choice to end the song that way is the kind of next-level layer of meaning that a less experienced band or producer misses as an opportunity. It's what makes the great people so great--they are doing so much more--and it's also why every one of us always has room to grow.

Insightful reaction, guys! A quick little story...Aerosmith played a fund raising concert for my fledgling private elementary school, and my pops was involved in the booking. It was 1974 for the tour of their second album "Get Your Wings." Some of my mates and myself got to go backstage and greet them before the show. They couldn't have been nicer; especially Steven Tyler who gave us high fives and a minute or two of small talk. Then watched them from up front. I was 10 at the time and will never, ever forget it & thought I'd share. Cheers!

Right with you there. I "like" Aerosmith but never really got into them, but this song has great power and meaning - that may be it too - many of their songs are superficial and shallow about sex, drugs and rock n roll and that's all well and good, but there's not much to sink you teeth into. This one just hits different. Also his singing is more subdued and you hear more of his range instead of the constant high, head screams he is famous for. Here, he only uses his scream to accentuate at the end and I think (and Lex certainly agrees!) that makes the switch to the high, power scream much more impactful.

Epic song & is even better live in concert as Steven's voice developed. Need to treasure Aerosmith as they're best rock band America has left.

The entire "Toys in the attic" album is fantastic and you should do a poll to find out which songs to do.

I saw them at an outdoor concert early in their career. It was great. This is probably my favorite song of theirs..... still makes me think about "what if" today....

I had the chance to see them in 98 and yes, seeing them live is an experience. They sound the same live as they do on radio

Aerosmith has some real unique stuff, and Steven Tyler is a phenomenal rock vocalist. You must give Back In the Saddle a listen!

Sweet Emotion is an Aerosmith staple also what makes the song funny is that Steven Tyler wrote it about Joe Perry's wife at the time who he hated lol..Janie's Got A Gun is amazing aswell, the song story is so dark but the instrumentals are so beautiful it truly is a masterpiece

I was maybe 14 when this came out & I've been loving it all these years. Thanks for the lovely reaction!!

"It sounds like an intro." That's very perceptive.

I'm old enough (and lucky enough) to have seen all the great bands live back in the 70's...including seeing Aerosmith perform this song multiple times. Watching the younger folks get to experience this great music for the first time (albeit not live) brings a smile to my face every time...and makes me kind of jealous since I can never hear it for the first time again...LOL. Regarding this song...I always love to see a first time reaction to "the scream"...and Lex did not disappoint at 5:26... :-)

The lyrics are so positive while the songs as a whole seems pretty dramatic. This convergence makes this song multi dimensional. It's sweet/salty, hot/cold. Gotta love the contrast.

I like watching them. They have a good energy.

Love this 🦋

I was an intern pulling all-nighters at the Nashville VA Hospital. This song, along with Stairway to Heaven and some others, made the hours pass a little easier.

I bought this album in 1976. One of the best albums they've ever written!

This s*** was so beyond m&m this is there's so much heart and soul in old rock and roll and I appreciate you all for exploring this but yeah there ain't nothing out there today that didn't come from yesterday

Yes. This was one of the most epic songs I have ever witnessed in concert!!!

Janie's Got a Gun would be a great Aerosmith choice. Amazing vocals, harmonies, and instrumentals. Plus, the song and video tells the same story! It's one of their biggests hits, and it's about an intense subject.

Such a classic, love their early albums. Steven's voice sounds so much like Freddie Mercury in this song.

Love Aerosmith! Saw them 5 times when I was younger in the 80's and 90's

Saw them in NYC in ‘73 when were just breaking out of their Boston zone. NY was still clueless. My favorite concert.

Do more Aerosmith: 1. Toys in the Attic, Sweet Emotion, and Round and Round, from Toys in the Attic (plus Big Ten Inch Record, just for fun) 2. Back in the Saddle and Nobody’s Fault, from Rocks After Rocks, they were a different sort of band.

One of the best songs from Aerosmith.

Best song in history!!!! My all time favorite song. You should see the live performance he does with Slash on guitar. He’s 70ish years old and can still hit that high note perfectly.

Stereo sound bouncing left to right 😊 this is a classic fave!

Yes, this is the song Eminem sampled for his song "Sing for the Moment". Joe Perry actually recorded a new guitar solo for that song. Aerosmith also re-recorded "Walk This Way" on a Run DMC collaboration back in the 80's, too.

Love this track..you two should definitely check out the "Post Modern Jukebox" version..CRAZY how good it is lol
