BREAKING: Trump NYC Case Could Be Headed For A Mistrial

"So we are going to do things based on common sense." - Donald Trump

Born in New York City back in 1948, Steven Tyler started his musical career at an early age, first playing the drums and then obviously becoming a singer. He helped to form Aerosmith back in 1970 and was a fundamental part of the band's sound, not only for his voice but for his amazing stage presence which certainly makes him one of the best frontmen of all time. Over the decades he had the chance to see and meet many of his heroes. He praised many bands and one of them is The Beach Boys. He first discovered that he was a musician after singing one of their songs and even had the chance to be their opening act before Aerosmith was formed. Steven Tyler's opinion on The Beach Boys The first group that Steven Tyler was part of that allowed him to get a little taste of how the life of a Rock star was The Strangeurs, which would later be called Chain Reaction. That band was formed in 1964 and it was right before that he had realized that he could actually be a singer, when he tried to sing himself The Beach Boys track "In My Room", which had been released one year before. He recalled that in his autobiography "Does the Noise in My Head Bother You? A Rock 'n' Roll Memoir", released in 2004. "The Beach Boys! 'In My Room.' Oh, my god! All I can tell you is that my girlfriend got turned on just now hearing me say those words with such ecstatic glee. That song was the first time I got up from behind the drums and grabbed the microphone away from my bass player and said, 'You know what? I’m singing that fucking song, pal!' And then – abracadabra - I became a singer!" Steven Tyler said. The band Steven Tyler was a member early on was The Beach Boys' opening act in 1966 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdrSbHU3-Ak&pp=ygUKaW4gbXkgcm9vbQ%3D%3D The Strangeurs were a really versatile band that accepted any gig, big or small. In 1966 they had the incredible opportunity of being The Beach Boys' opening act. A really important detail, the show happened only one week after they had released some of the most famous tracks of their groundbreaking album "Pet Sounds". "The Strangeurs were the opening act for every kind of gig from the Fugs at the Café What? to the Lovin' Spoonful at the Westchester County Center to an uptown New York discotheque like Cheetah. Then, on July 24, 1966, the Strangeurs opened for the Beach Boys at Iona College. 'Pet Sounds' had come out in May and blown everybody's minds. It was sublime and subliminal and statured your brain. After you heard it you were in a different space." Steven Tyler continued: "'Wouldn't It Be Nice', with 'God Only Knows' on the flip side, had been out only a week before our performance. It was all over the radio. They had a competition to choose the band that would be the opening act. We played 'Paint It Black' and sealed the deal. We got to hang out with The Beach Boys. Brian (Wilson), even in those days, was on another sphere, vibrating his Buddha vibe. I had my first out-of-body religious experience that day singing along with The Beach Boys. It was me and six thousand kids from Iona College, all singing 'California Girls'," Steven Tyler said in his autobiography. The Strangeurs/Chain Reaction were active from 1964 to 1968. They also had the chance to be opening acts for bands like The Byrds and The Yardbirds. Curiously, at the time Steven still used his real name on stage, which is Steven Tallarico. One of their songs 'When I Needed You' appeared on Aerosmith's 1991 compilation box set called 'Pandora's Box'.The post Steven Tyler’s opinion on The Beach Boys appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.

Right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on Thursday moved to liquidate his personal assets, agreeing to demands from the families of Sandy Hook victims whom he owes more than $1.5 billion in damages over his lies about the 2012 school massacre. The seismic move paves the way for a future in which Jones no longer owns Infowars, the influential conspiracy empire he founded in the late 1990s. Over the years, Jones has not only used the media company to poison the public discourse with vile...

Young Black Americans in town for a popular Philadelphia music festival went on the record to voice their displeasure with President Biden.

Things got rather heated when MSNBC host Joy Reid challenged Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) Thursday following his comments on whether life was better during the Jim Crow era. Donalds was at an event in Philadelphia this week when he discussed how the black marriage rate was higher back then than it is now. His comments have come under fire by many on the Left, who have interpreted the remark to be about how Jim Crow laws benefitted black people at the time despite the fact that they kept them in...

MSNBC host Joy Reid in a Thursday interview pressed Rep. Byron Donalds over comments the Florida Republican made about how Black families were “together” during the time of racial segregation of the Jim Crow South. Reid asked Donalds, “Is there a specific period between 1867 and 1968 that you thought was this golden era for Black families, or a time that was good for Black families?” “Joy, I never said that,” Donalds responded during the testy appearance on her show. “And see, this is...

MSNBC host Joy Reid wasn’t having it with Rep. Byron Donalds’ (R-Fla.) claim that critics are twisting his words on Thursday after his remarks that Black American families were “together” during the Jim Crow era of legal segregation. ″[They’re] saying I was being nostalgic or saying that Jim Crow was good for Black people, that’s all political spin, it’s a lie, it’s gaslighting and that’s truly unfortunate,” said Donalds, who made the comments Tuesday at an event for former President Donald...
