As Steven Tyler<\/a> already knows, creating a legacy outside of the band that gave you your name is a tough business. But one thing that ensured such a path was that, unlike some of his peers, he never lost his spark for good ol\u2019 rock \u2018n\u2019 roll.<\/p>\n Growing up, you wouldn\u2019t have exactly predicted that Tyler would have become such a pivotal figure in rock. However, a self-proclaimed \u201ccountry boy\u201d who enjoyed and endured countless different experiences and situations to get to where he is today, Tyler learned early on how important it was to embrace the unexpected.<\/p>\n He also learned that most of the best things in life rarely come from complacency. As he once explained to Louder<\/a>, he sees things a different way than most people, and it\u2019s because of this unique attitude that he paved the way for later successes. \u201cWhat\u2019s bothered me in life is there\u2019s a lot of people that say, \u2018Oh well, let it be. Leave it alone,\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cFortunately or unfortunately, I just can\u2019t leave it alone.\u201d<\/p>\n Still, taking the road less travelled and still ending up somewhere good doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that Tyler has it all figured out \u2013 or Aerosmith, for that matter. In fact, Tyler also explained why the band works so well despite being \u201cthe most dysfunctional on the planet\u201d, and it\u2019s because, although he might fight with Joe Perry from time to time, they have written songs that have \u201cgreased generations\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s magic there,\u201d he added, highlighting the endurance of hits like \u2018Walk This Way\u2019, \u2018Sweet Emotion\u2019, and \u2018Dream On\u2019 to prove his point. And although times may change, tastes may change, and people may move on to whatever\u2019s currently the next best thing, Aerosmith will consistently remain on top of their game, regardless of the zeitgeist.<\/p>\n As we\u2019ve seen, therefore, Tyler has always been forthcoming about his positioning in rock, with which comes stark honesty about those he regards at the very top of the hierarchy of rock excellence. Considering his journey and achievements, it isn\u2019t hard to guess which sorts of artists he loves the most<\/a> \u2013 and which he\u2019d fight tooth and nail for a chance to perform alongside, if given the chance.<\/p>\n Most of the major players on his bucket list have already been ticked off, but one he\u2019d do anything to share the stage with is the maestros of modern rock \u2018n\u2019 roll themselves, AC\/DC. Discussing his fantasy with Rolling Stone<\/a> alongside Perry in 2013, Tyler went so far as to admit that he\u2019d even \u201ctake a pay cut to play with AC\/DC\u201d because \u201cit\u2019s one of my last things to do, go on tour with them\u201d. He added, \u201cI don\u2019t really care about the money, and I don\u2019t care about some great review. It\u2019s more about the fans \u2013 it\u2019s always been about them.\u201d<\/p>\n Although Tyler has yet to live out his dream of touring with the band, he did experience a sliver of heaven back in 2003, when he inducted the band into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame before performing a special rendition of \u2018You Shook Me All Night Long\u2019 with them. Not only this, but Malcolm Young and co<\/a> specifically recruited Tyler on account of how much Aerosmith helped them when they first came to America, when they opened for the band across several dates in the late 1970s.<\/p>\n And during their induction, Tyler made it clear just how much the respect ran both ways, no doubt laying the groundwork for any potential future collaborative tour, should the occasion arise. Before their induction, Tyler said that there is \u201cno greater purveyor\u201d of the power chord than AC\/DC, arguing that they single-handedly invented modern rock by focusing on the simple art of having fun.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
