前スレ終盤で'97年頃のエアロのコメントを書いたもんです。 記憶だけに頼って勝手に和訳してしまったんだが部屋探したら雑誌が見つかったんで 原文紹介しとく。ちと長いけどご容赦。("GUITAR WORLD" APRIL 1997 Printed in U.S.A.) Joe Perry: I love their first two records. They had a rock and roll attitude that just couldn't stop. 〜中略〜 We learned a lot watching them. That second album of theirs, Too Much Too Soon [Mercury, 1974], was so appropriate for them. 〜中略〜 Johnny [Thunders, the Dolls' lead guitarist] and I were pretty good friends. I bought some guitars from him and sold him some. 〜中略〜 Guitar World: Back then, did you consider Aerosmith a glam band? Joe Perry: No, not a glam band. We were trying to be like Peter Green's Fleetood Mac. Be fuckin' real. Our roots are definitely Fleetood Mac and Yardbirds, and of course the Beatles. But that's not to say we didn't wear a little bit of stretch latex ourselves. Steven Tyler: Purple pants.
