FROM CLIVE DAVIS TO GUITAR HERO AEROSMITH
With over 150 million records sold, 12 multi-platinum albums and a place in the Rock and Roll hall of fame, Aerosmith is one of the most successful groups in the history of Rock.
But after years toiling on the Boston scene, got their big break at Max's Kansas City. They knew Max's was the place to be, and that performance was their big shot. "You knew even the assholes were going to be famous someday. It was that kind of place … it was like lighting a whole pack of Black Cat firecrackers all at once and throwing it in the room." - Steven Tyler, lead singer of Aerosmith.
Since Aerosmith was signed by Clive Davis after their Max's gig they haven't stopped rocking, redefining themselves over and over, by combining blues, glam, heavy metal, R&B and even hip-hop, which defined one of their most well known collaborations with Run DMC.
Today, more popular than ever, Aerosmith recently took center stage as the virtual rock stars in the most recent version of Guitar Hero - Guitar Hero Aerosmith.
