On the song The Farm, Joe plays some super nasty riffs with an unusual chord sequence of 1 to flat 5. “One of my favorite Aerosmith albums is Nine Lives. “I’ve been a fan since Dream On became a hit even in my (unfortunately) pop-oriented home country of Holland back in the day, and I still am. They have the power, talent and personality to even turn not so much blues-based, poppy songs into radio-friendly tracks that still have that organic, unmistakable Aerosmith grit, swagger and attitude. Swagger-laden grooves, cool guitar work and great solos by Joe and Brad. “To call Aerosmith ‘The American Rolling Stones,’ as they often have been, never really covered it for me. It makes me wish I had written it!” Adrian Vandenberg “Joe and Brad’s guitar playing in Back in the Saddle is so absolutely perfect. It sounded like the most beautiful music I’ve ever heard.” Richard Patrick (Filter) I thought it was so beautiful, and how could someone write and play something like that? I couldn’t get over it. “When I was a kid and I heard the Dream On intro, it just really changed my life. I guess the riff in that song is cool, too.” John 5 Whoever had the idea to introduce that element that late in the song deserves an award. The part is so simple and cool, it makes me want to be the triangle player in a band. “It elevates the remainder of the song so fully. “I don’t know about the best guitar moment, but I will tell you this - the single most satisfying use of a triangle in a rock song ever (yes, a triangle) happens in the fourth verse of the song Sweet Emotion under the lyric ‘ Stand in the front just a shakin’ your ass….’ It’s so subtle, and I’m guessing most people would never even have the ear to listen for it, but every time I hear it, I am filled with complete satisfaction and joy. It’s my personal favorite Aerosmith guitar album.” Richie Ranno (Starz) The songs were also written with a consistency that flowed perfectly. It still sounds relevant and has an edge like no other. The guitar tones were heavy, and the performances were solid. “ Rocks is the album that gained my attention more than any other Aerosmith album. Third, the solo has lots of short melodic phrases that are very powerful.” Michael Sweet Second, the rhythm pattern for the verse is a creative variation of the boogie-woogie type of riff. First, the opening riff because it is so rhythmic and effective. “My favorite three parts are all in the same song: Walk This Way. I’m unsure if it’s Joe or Brad, and I don’t care! Every riff (as well as the awesome solos) makes this track with its unique groove, it legitimately rocks! Slinky guitar sounds with sexy string bends make the guitar duo of Aerosmith ‘supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!’” Steve Morse “ Walk This Way is a wildly successful crossover hit with the sleaziest guitar solos.
