rocks years rock-and-roll
The Beatles did everything long before anyone else. They weren't afraid to try things and to experiment with a lot of sounds. In 200 years, when you look up 'rock and roll' in the dictionary, it'll have a picture of the Beatles next to it.
labels music-is
Music is music you don't have to put a label on it
real night screw-ups
I guess we all have a bad night now and then and really screw up. I listened to our earlier stuff and we screwed up a lot. But at least now that we are sober, when we screw up it's for real.
successful records pounds
You can always pound out demos and send them to record companies, but most of the successful bands I've seen are the ones that can sustain themselves.
rocks rock-n-roll heroin
There was a time I thought I couldn't enjoy rock 'n' roll unless I had heroin in me
long feelings different
India brings out so many different feelings in me. I've been fascinated with India and Indian culture as long as I can remember - ever since the '60s with the Beatles and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
killing more-time glad
I'm glad that I never ended up killing myself, though I came close more times than I would like to admit.
work-out guy too-much
When I got sober and started working out, I fell into that trap of working out too much. I know a lot of guys can relate to that - if you don't get that runner's high every day, you feel like, 'Oh my God, I'm losing it.'
powerful mean band
Aerosmith is such a powerful band; I mean, it's like a steam locomotive.
song years band
Over the years, when you're in a band with a catalog like Aerosmith's, you accumulate a lot of instruments to duplicate those songs.
song tired play
Sometimes when a record's done, I'm satisfied and I won't listen back to it for a while 'cause I'm usually pretty tired of the songs. Then I've got to learn them again to play them live, and sometimes it takes a while to realise it's a really good record.
fire people use
I was very fascinated by the time when firearms went from being fire sticks to being something people could use to hunt and to survive.
player guitar sound
Describing certain sounds, there's a common language that guitar players have.
song thinking age
I think that... the age of just slapping songs into movies, that's done.
