Aerosmith - Sunshine


Aerosmith - Sunshine by Dihtag
This is the music video to the song "Sunshine" by American hard rock group Aerosmith. The song is off the group's 2001 album "Just Push Play". The song was written by Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, and song collaborator and producer Marti Frederiksen.
The song's lyrics have a lot of allusions to the Alice in Wonderland tale, as does the music video through a visual medium obviously.
"Sunshine" is a street term for LSD, and the lyrics mention eating the mushroom which can have a LSD-like effect. But on the other hand the lyric "Sunshine, the kind that everybody knows" may suggest other wise.
A good and descent song with nice melody that is very catchy, and has a good video. A really good Aerosmith song.

Enjoy ; )

Aerosmith - Walking the Dog (Acoustic)


This is a live performance by American hard rock band Aerosmith playing and acoustic version of the song "Walking the Dog". The performance is from the MTV Unplugged series and the performance is from 1990.
The song was originally a Rufus Thomas song and was known under two titles, "Walking the Dog", and "Walkin' the Dog". This version was released on the album "Walking the Dog" and it became Thomas' signature hit and it reached #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in December of 1963. It stayed on the Billboard Hot 100 for 14 weeks.
The song has been covered by a large number of artist, including: The Rolling Stones, Roger Daltrey, John Cale, and Green Day, and many more.
I really think this version by Aerosmith is great. They do it acoustic and Steven Tyler is sitting on a chair, but he's as frantic and energetic as ever. A great performance of a great song.

Enjoy ; )

Aerosmith - Back In The Saddle


This is a performance from classic hard rock band Aerosmith performing the rock 'n' roll song "Back In The Saddle". The song was written by Steven Tyler and Joe Perry aka The Toxic Twins. The song is from the band's 1976 album "Rocks" and was released as the third single from the album in 1977 and peaked at #38 on the Billboard charts.
The song was came about from a bass riff that Joe Perry came up with which gave the song the heavy bass sound. It is also one of the songs to feature Brad Whitford on lead guitar and Joe Perry on rhythm guitar, changing it up a bit.
Another characteristic of the song is the slow build up from the drum, to the bass kicking in, to it finally taking off into the song that is "Back In The Saddle". It's a great rock 'n' roll song, and a good performance.

Enjoy ; )

Steven Tyler & Joe Perry - I'm A King Bee


 This is a performance from the great blues film "Lightning in a Bottle" that features various artists performing blues standards and blues classics.
The original song was recorded by swamp blues artist Slim Harpo who wrote and recorded the song in 1957.
Rolling Stones also did a cover for their debut album, it's pretty similar to the original, but also features a slide solo by Brian Jones.
The song has also been recorded by Muddy Waters in 1981, and been spoofed by John Belushi on SNL, where he performed the song wearing a bee costume.

It's a great little blues song, enjoy ; )
