“The (NY) Dolls had more advantages than Aerosmith in that they were darlings of the New York press and all that.They were the first band that I loved that I watched self-destruct. What I learnt from that is that it’s not enough to get your foot in the door.”

The band Steven Tyler said "pissed" all their talent away
Although Steven Tyler had the best opportunities anyone could have asked for, he felt that his favourite bands were their own worst enemies.

Revisiting the music I was smitten by back in the early 80s when other musicians I knew were into punk rock.
I practiced all of these melodies which are difficult for guitar, because they were created on/for horns/piano but I snuck a riff into my solo on “Shoot Out The Stars” youtu.be/2jqS80X4TNo

I wonder, when someone writes a song that is this amazing - do they realize it? This is a brilliant Judee Sill, recorded in London in February of 1973 for the "Old Grey Whistle Test". Go do a deep dive on her - it's heartbreaking.

Sylvain was one of my favorite “guitar partners” to be in a band with. I haven’t had many (since I mostly play in trios) but he’s HIGH on the list… 😜🌿💨 Miss him! ♥️

To me, his “One-Two-Punch” is on a Beatles level, in the writing - and the playing is at an even higher level.
And the album is EJ’s “Pepper”! Thoughts?
