Uncut: What's the best AEROSMITH album and the worst?

Tyler: The best would have to be "Toys in the Attic" (1975) or "Rocks" (1976). Then again "Pump" (1989) is pretty amazing. There's a few AEROSMITH albums I choose not to remember anymore. But the worst would have to be one of those many "Greatest Hits" that the record company put out in the '90s without our permission when we should have had our eyes on the ball but were, ahem, otherwise occupied.

Perry: For me, the worst ever was "Done with Mirrors" (1985). At that time, we were trying to make an album that was a bit like the old AEROSMITH and a bit like where we wanted to be heading. Those songs weren't completely lacking in inspiration, but little of it added up. That has to be our weakest record. Our strongest has to be "Get a Grip" (1993). It feels like a point of culmination that record, where we realized our potential and brought it right up front. I'm not surprised that songs like "Eat the Rich" and "Livin' on the Edge" have survived the test of time.

According to Tyler, it started as an accident. "Very early on," he tells Blender, "I had a favorite macramé shirt that I wore onstage all the time and an Indian scarf in my hair. The shirt and scarf got worn out and torn off me eventually," he says, but rather than throw them out, Tyler "hung them on the mic-stand for good luck. Must be the gypsy in me." The look stuck, and it's now one of his trademarks.

Interestingly, in addition to looking cool, the scarves doubled as a makeshift medicine cabinet. "Some of them had little pockets sewn in," Tyler said in the band's 2003 autobiography, "and I'd weight them with Quaaludes and Tuinals. That way I wouldn't run out."

I only got to hear it for like a second the first time. The second time I heard it was — there was this girl that used to hang around a certain group of friends, and she was probably the best-looking girl in school and in the neighborhood, and she'd just broken up with her boyfriend. I tried desperately to pick this girl up for the longest time, and finally she invited me up to her house.

"I was aspiring to get in this girl's pants, more or less, so I go up to her room, and she's got tapestries on the wall and incense and pot, her stereo — a typical teenage-girl’s room at the time. She put on some records; we listened to ZEPPELIN; we listened to YES; and then finally she put this record on that I recognized immediately from like the first f%&*#n' note.

"It was 'Rocks'. I must've listened to this record in that girl's — her name was Lori — bedroom probably a half-dozen times, from front to back, over and over again, and I completely ignored her. The whole purpose of my being there completely went out the window. Finally I think she said, 'I think it's time for you to go.' And I was like, 'Okay, see ya.' I got on my bike and I took off and she never spoke to me again."
