Destroying Steven Tyler:

Steven Tyler fell on to the stage. He was helped up twice and peed his pants. I was talked into going to the concert. Of course I had to pay for vomit girl and monkey girl. It was a bad night and the ladies showed up as high as a kite. Then I wanted to go but they kept saying he will be fine. I left them. I sat in traffic for two hours and they beat me to my house. I thought I was safe because they were never at my house. I will never figure that one out.
After that night I never liked Steven.

Prodigious technique, no doubt. But I can say that seeing him live was one of the most boring concert experiences of my life. The show was basically what I wrote: endless flurries of non-musical notes played over the top of mediocre mid-'80's rock, and every once in a while he'd walk to the front of the stage and raise his arms for applause before the wankfest continued. It was awful, and did a lot to reinforce the idea in my head that just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

You're describing the quintessential mid-'70's concert-going expereience!!

But yeah, that sounds lame.

You mean, that not even his constant martial arts style high-kicks would give you a lil stiffy?

Not my cup of tea. That intro solo did NOTHING for the song. Just guitar gymnastics with no thought to the melody or atmosphere of a great rock ballad. I like Dio but that cover did NOTHING for me. Sorry. I'll take feel and a bit of flying by the seat of your pants slop over pristine technique any day.
 
Let me start by saying I like Dio. I saw him play in Los Angeles at the Holy Diver tour. Great voice, great show. That being said, I prefer the original version by Aerosmith when it comes to this song.
