 Spread their wings above Milan

While the stage is covered in darkness, the taste of excitement is in the air and the hungry crowd is waiting to get their dessert. Suddenly the light flashes and reflects the white piano on the stage. The singer gets on stage dressed in italian flag, takes place by the piano and plays very well-known intro chords of ballad. Well, after first chorus comes the spin. He clears his throat, looks around over the people and changes the key. »What I'm actually trying to say is…« He doesn't need to carry on. The first notes were enough for fans to welcome the dreamer who believes we have to dream untill our dreams come true.

Milan rule

Fans were waiting for gig of american version of Rolling Stones (according to the title, it's the greatest american rock n' roll band) for a long time. Guys from Aerosmith aren't used to coming near very often, but this time, they decided to play in Milan on June 25^th,   during their Let rock rule tour. After the release of their Music from another dimension, they dragged into that other dimension over 30.000 fans, who got to Arena RHO in Milan. While music enthusiasts were waiting for their stars to appear, many other bands tried to entertain them. Even Walking papers with Duff McKagan on guitar (well known for his staying with Guns N' Roses), but Extreme turned out to be the surprise of the evening. The temperatures were getting higher and higher, but the crowd was having fun singing A hole in my heart and timeless classic More than words. Only few moments before 10 pm, when the lights on the stage were secretly shut down and it was about a second ago for Whitford, Hamilton,  Kramer, Perry in Tyler to get on stage, fans spent the last seconds to sing along with Joan Jett and proved their love for rock n' roll.

Let me entertain you

After technologically well performed visual intro, which gave fans a taste of other dimension, the rock finaly started to rule. All of sudden on stage appeared Steven with his new accesory- moustache, of course. Well he gave an impression of himself coming straight from other dimension, while his face and body was painted. He sure didn't forget the must-have nail polish. His hair, which is usually decorated with many interesting things he gets to find and then palces them into his haircut, but fot the italian gig, rocker decided to wear pink highlights, but also kept the look of what could be called glamorous cowboy. He changed his clothes for several times and even covered his face with neon colours. During the first chords of Mama Kin he showed he's in a good mood and of put his scarves-covered mic on display. After the last verse Tyler started coughing and tottering around the stage, so fans were getting concerned, but he soon cleared all the doubts that the former intoxications left too serious consequences on him. Not at all, 66-year old smiled, screamed and jumped around the stage all night long. The audience was entertained with similar comic acts, mostly dancing, jumping over the mic (which would be ordeal for someone half of his age). He showed his big mouth to camera and even licked it up couple of times. But the fun wasn't over at all. He kept bugging the other members of the band, which means he was pointing the mic to them and asking them to help him do the singing. The multiinstrumentalist was a bit modest this time, but showed his skills on rattle and kept the rhytm. When the crowd practically got mad during Love in an alevator he turned around and in verse  Kiss your sassafras shaked his „sassafrass“ too. Not to get anyone too far, Tyler completely pampered them with I don't wanna miss a thing (from Armageddon soundtrack, starring Liv Tyler, his daughter). During Crying the demon of screaming showed his skill when smoothly singing the glissandos and colouring his voice with his trademark final tones which end in higher keys, but also showed he still masters the harmonica. The first blow during the harmonica solo in Crying  provoked applause and unstoppable screaming of excited crowd. During Living on the edge Steven decided to hook up with some fans and moved into the first row, where he offered them his microphone, but in exchange he collected kisses, hugs and even hat, which he immediately tried on. Beatles' cover Come together shouldn't be missing as well as Walk this way, where Steven made everyone wonder if he wouldn't probably found himself in rap too.

Grand closing

Not being only rock legend, Tyler is well-known entertainer even from the American Idol show. But also Joe Perry, the guitar player, singer's long-time friend and former »toxic twin«, shared his fun part. The movie, which started to play on huge display in the stage's background, depicted Perry having fun wtih raising money while playing guitar in front of the Milan cathedral. Of course it didn't take long untill he spent the time taking pictures and giving autographs with curious random passers-by. After the movie was shown, Perry took over the mic and sang Freedom fighter. Then the lights went down for the first time, but there was no doubt guys were coming back. The return was marked with romantic ballad Angel, which was interrupted after first chorus and continued with Dream on, where he easily reached even the higher notes. The fans just loved it. The applause and whistles seemed never to stop. Joe Perry accompained Steven with show, so he stepped on piano in the style of  Slash in November rain. Even Tyler sang from piano. But the gig wasn't closed with the ballad, so the crowd got on fire once again with blues-filled Sweet emotion and the melody was in the air untill everybody sang along and Steven conquered the whole stage. After more than two hours the Bad boys from Boston got together and introduced themselves. Steven, the alst but not least, didn't do same, so Joe Perry did it for him. During loud screaming of the audience he didn't say much. But he did say enough, so the fans will have something to remember, something to collect and a good reason to see him again: »Thank you, baby.«
