The
Funniest Demon with biggest mouth
I learned playing piano from
him, he gave me singing lectures and I got a hint what I want my man to
say to me when he is getting romantic. A Demon or not, this papa is sure talented, charismatic and one of a kind.
First, we gotta
clear things up. Why the hell is he called Demon when I could probably refer to
him as the funniest guy I ever got to meet? Why is he supposed to
be adressed as Bad boy, when one could only think of him as a sweet grandpa
with sense of humour and funny (i.e. maybe a bit weird for some taste) haircut?
And how could this guy be toxic, when he only loves rock 'n roll? Cuz he's mr.
Steven (f-ing) Tyler!
Tyler has
contributed a great part to rock music. To compare him to Jagger would be
slightly exaggerating, but yet, let's give him the official title the guy
deserves, he could be pointed out as the leader of the greatest american rock n'
roll band, one of the greatest rock singers of all times and a man of huge
vocal range. Not huge enough for you? I mean have you heard the highest tones
in Dream on? His age is in this place a huge advantage for him (otherwise
someone else would beat him and take over this highly estimated title himself) and just beacause Tyler was fast enough to
establish his own perspective of rock music, when people were only getting to
know there is something called rock 'n roll out there and there is nothing
wrong with a guy to wear long hair and tight leggings with leopard print.
What Tyler needs
to get credit for is also nurturing many singers who were about to take over
the cowboy culture, step into their own snake boots and tried to scream as the
Demon of does himself. Tyler, as said,
was a fan of Jagger and looked up to him, while he later became role model for
William Bruce Bailey, someone we also know for screaming, running around
shirtless, the guy who sure knows how to rock (in any kind of way). Yeah, this Billy
guy is better known as Axl Rose. He stated he didn't want look up to any other
guys who were in this business and got pissed when Stanley from Kiss once said
younger Rose is copying some of their music and signing his name below. No
wonder Rose sent him to hell (using his kind well-known jargon) while Kiss
music and Guns were never connected with nothing more than just they are both
members of one big same old rock n' roll family. Anyway, Rose stated the only
music, that appealed to him and he felt familiar with, was the music from
Steven Tyler. And here we go to Aerosmith again.
It might be MrTallarico from Julliard, who later on also contributed a small part to Dream on
chords (while young Steven spent his time under papa's piano listening to those
divine low ringing sounds) whose fault
is Steven being such a specific artist. Aerosmith's music always had special
place on my playlist, especially because I could position their sound somewhere
between too fast for blues, too hard for rock 'n roll straight up (or at least
for the roots of rock ' n roll) and sleazy, honest and funny at one time.
Imagine Walk this way. Man, Tyler not only has a great potential for taking his
part in rap music, but sure the lyrics are so funny and descriptive, you got a
feeling like you wanna learn them and sing around. The rhytim is precise
and well put, while the melodies are easy to remember. Comparing to their
British companions, the Stones, where there is only basic melody (consisting of few riffs), with Aerosmith there are more parts of a song.
With What it takes I still think the bridge takes all the glory and is one of
the best parts of this piece. Lyrics, as I could only put, are descriptive and
yet at some point so romantic, I bet girls wanna cry. I mean how many men are
about to tell you they were crying when they met you? Seriously.
Steven as
multiinstrumentalist gives that impression during his music too. After
listening, you get the idea he really thought it over and precisely decided
what to put in his song and what not. Songs are practically enriched with many
instruments, melodies and even the keys are not always just those basic ones. Famous
for his harmonica, the piano is also what he really masters! Angel is one of a
kind and I really like listening to it, because I feel like I'm listening to
something between rock ballade with blues lyrics and high notes familiar with
something like country. The songs of Aerosmith would of course not be same
without the leading bad guy's specific vocal. The greatest thing he did was the
day he decided he's gonna colour his voice. Also everything that went hand in
hand during his career (i.e. he stated the blow took his Porsche, his plane and
other valuable stuff) left traces on his vocal, but they fit into his style of music. He
established raspy sound that sounds charming in the lower keys, but gets
incredible power in higher. His technique of singing (that reminded me of what
I've heard at Cobain and at some country singers) when he picks higher tones
and sings them either with glissando or takes them and returns back to the
basic melody are one of the best and the most significant I've heard. It's
actually getting pretty popular because it's good to listen but damn hard to learn
and got it into your blood to freely sing it like Steven.
The pronounciation
of his is american all the way and you really feel like some old cowboy
is talking to you. And so he looks like
one. I could tell I ain't
precisely a fan of his moustache, but whatever this 66-year old puts on, looks good on him. His style was always something special (as seen in Love in an
elevator-remember those hot red tight pants?), but the same as he knows how to
do the music, he knows how to dress up. Not to mention his stage apperances,
making jokes, jumping around and having fun as the major point, people love it.
The bad boy, toxic or anything else, he might be the sweetest Demon you've ever seen.
