It was 1975's Toys in the Attic, however, that established Aerosmith as international stars competing with the likes of Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones. Originally derided as Rolling Stones knockoffs in part due to the physical resemblance between lead singers Steven Tyler and Mick Jagger, Toys in the Attic showed that Aerosmith was a unique and talented band in their own right. Toys in the Attic was an immediate success, starting with the single "Sweet Emotion", which became the band's first Top 40 hit. This was followed by a successful re-release of "Dream On" which hit number 6, becoming their best charting single of the 1970s. "Walk This Way", re-released in 1976, reached the Top 10 in early 1977.
1977-tais baigiau Leningrado A.A.Ždanovo universitetą - neprisimenu, kad "Aerosmith" būtų nors kiek buvęs populiarus tenykščių studentų tarpe.
O vakarietiška muzika ten vinilais bene greičiau atkeliaudavo negu Vilniun - užsieniečių mokėsi nemažai, o Vilniun jų, užsienio studentų, sovietinė valdžia neįsileisdavo.
Vakar, Vilniuje, prie Lietuvos Respublikos Prezidentūros:
Jau viduje:
Pikčiurnos lietuviai...
"Aerosmith"!
Toxic Twins.
The Bad Boys from Boston.
Walk This Way.
Jei jau 1970-tųjų, L.Brežnevo laikų, Pitery atsidūriau - tų laikų studentiškas "hitas".
Vilniuj jo nėsyk tada negirdėjau.
