I was so excited 2 nights before the concert I could not sleep. The night before the concert I had to take medicine to sleep. My excitement was out of control. The entire day of the concert my body was humming with it! Finally! The day I had been waiting for had arrived. My sign was complete. My t-shirt and shoes were done. My shirt was hot pink and said: Steven Tyler Walk This Way. The "y" in way ended with an arrow point down. My flip flops had a small wedge heel to it, so with glitter glue I wrote: I <3 Steven Tyler. I was ready to ROCK! After prepping myself so I'd be perfect for Steven if he some how saw my sign and pulled me on stage, we left. And that's when the trouble started. We were on 23 when the car started to over heat. I had to shut off the air conditioning and roll down the windows. That wouldn't have been too bad if it wasn't over 90 outside! And there were a bunch of back-ups due to rush hour traffic. So there went my rocked out hair! And as it was so hot I began to sweat. I was so upset, but the radio began playing Aerosmith songs and my spirit picked up. After a few nerve wracking hours on backed up highways we were there! My BFF Jenny called and it turned out she was on her way to the concert. Charlie came through and they were able to go. They weren't going to be able to sit with us, but I was so excited that we were going to be there together. Since we got there before they did, we got them tickets so they could get the best seats possible and it turned out that they were pretty darn good!
Our seats were on the floor. We were right at the end of a stairway and right by the security guy, Bummer. No sneaking up farther for us. It also didn't help that the seats were all attached. Major bummer. We checked out our seats. Met up with Jenny and Charlie for a bit and then we were ready to settle in for the show. While we waited for Aerosmith to start Jenny and I located each other in the crowd. They began playing that Hot In Here song and I groaned in disgust. I looked over at Jenny and I saw her standing and staring wildly at the stage. I immediately jumped up and did not sit back down for more than hours after that. The Bad Boys of Boston were on stage. They were hidden behind the massive Aerosmith curtain, but you could tell they were behind it. They opened up with Eat the Rich, one of Jenny and I's favorites. It was almost as if Steven knew how much we loved it. ;) I held up my giant sign the second the curtain dropped. It said: Steven Tyler! Just give me a KISS! I fear that he did not see it, though Jenny believes she saw him point at me while I was holding up the sign. Every time Steven looked in my direction I flew up my sign. There were 2 awesome ladies behind me that we were just rocking out, having a blast. They were totally all for me holding up my sign and getting on stage some how. So, Steven was looking right in my direction so I flew up onto my chair and held up my sign with all I had and then, to my immense disappointment the security man came up and told me to put away the sign, that I was not allowed to do that and that people were complaining. I was pretty sad. I almost cried. I held up that sign so Steven would see it and I didn't think he had seen it yet and they robbed of my chance of Steven seeing my sign. It took me a few songs to compose myself. The lady behind me told me to go get him. I thought she was talking about the guy in front of me. I said, "Him? In the white shirt?" Her response, "NO! HIIIM!!!" Pointing to Steven. She wanted to me to blow through the crowd. I just couldn't do it. I was too afraid of getting kicked out. I bought a disposable camera at the concert and I started taking a bunch of pictures. They did a great job. Joey did an awesome drum solo. He owned that drum set like I have never seen! It was wicked when Steven came out and joined in. I was so impressed with Aerosmith. 40 years and they can still rock the roof right off the Palace.
I screamed my lungs out. I waved my arms and I ROCKED THE FUCK OUT! I had a blast. Steven Tyler looked so amazing in his silver outfit. His silver pants were so tight and so sexy. I just wanted to rip them right off of him. Right there on stage in front of thousands of people. I don't even care. He is so hot that I lose myself completely and all I can think about is him and how amazing he is. I love Steven Tyler. He is the love of my life and I have to meet him some how. I cannot wait for them to go on tour again. I cannot wait to see them. Because the next time I willbuy the special meet and greet with Steven Tyler and the front row seats. I have to.
Thank you for the bad ass show guys!
It has been reported on several news sites, that Steven Tyler will be a judge on American Idol! Tom Hamilton says "Steven is doing 'American Idol.' The ink is dry on that ... Steven is someone who absolutely lives to be in front of an audience, and the people closest to him..." Apparently FOX refuses to comment and plans to announce the judges in September.
I AM ECSTATIC!!!!! If this is true I no longer have to dream on. No, those dreams will become reality when I see Steven Tyler's sexy face on my TV. I will tune in and DVR every single episode. I'll probably even pause it a few times just to stare at the most amazingly talented man on earth.
According to recent reports, Steven Tyler has been quoted saying he wants American Idol to, "...lay out the bread..." So what are you waiting for FOX! Lay out some bread and some sexy tight clothes for the man!
This is a story that has no definite beginning, so I'll just begin with the first thing I can remember. I was about 4 years old, it was dinner time, and my dad had the Get a Grip CD playing downstairs. As I walked up the steps to the kitchen, I started singing along to Livin' on the Edge. My mom looked at me, shocked, and said "Oh my god, I can't believe you know this song!" My parents whipped out the booklet that came with the CD to show me the pictures of the band members, and that is where I got my first glimpse of the sexiest man alive...Steven Tyler. From that day on I had such an attraction to him that was so intense I couldn't even explain it. A couple years later, I got my first walkman for Christmas, with 2 cassettes; Big Ones and Get a Grip. I listened to them constantly, wherever I went, whatever I was doing. I would listen to them at the bus stop, on the bus, and at recess I wouldn't play with the other kids; I would just walk around by myself singing along to the greatest sound known to man. I would try to get my friends to listen, but no one wanted to. My teachers never really knew how to respond when I would talk to them about Aerosmith or try to get them to listen. It was always good to go home because my dad was the only one who understood my love of their music. I used to beg my mom every year to make me some cool looking clothes like Steven wore so I could be him for Halloween, but she thought I was crazy and never would. It was my dream to meet him, hang out with him, spend time with him. Just get to know the man behind it all. I remember the year Aerosmith was having a New Years Ever Bash at Mama Kin in Boston. My mom and dad went for the weekend and wouldn't take me. I was so pissed off it was unreal. I'll never forget another time my parents screwed me out of a great opportunity to see them. I was in 7th grade, and Aerosmith was coming to Michigan during the Nine Lives Tour. I wanted to go so bad, but my mom kept telling me I was too young. One day the radio station (101.1 WRIF) was giving away tickets; center stage, 6th row, 6 tickets. My mom told me if I called and won them, she would take me. Of course, she didn't think I would win. Obviously due to my intense love for Aerosmith, I won. I was so excited I was shaking and jumping up and down. The next day, my mom tells me I am too young and I am not allowed to go. I was so upset, I was mad at her for the longest time and for the record still am to this day about that. I even wrote a petition, and had every kid in my class sign it, even my teacher. She just laughed and still refused to take me. She went and came home to tell me how it was the best concert of her life and she was so close she could see Steven's sweat pouring down from him. I was so pissed I didn't speak to her for a few days. She did admit that it wasn't as bad as she thought it would be, and agreed to take me the next time they came to town. They came back for a second concert so she finally got me tickets. Of course they were lawn seats at DTE, (formerly Pine Knob) and it rained, but it was the best night of my life. I thought I was so cool wearing my new tshirt to school the next day! From that day on, every time Aerosmith has come to Michigan I have been there. I never got really close seats, but it didn't matter to me as long as I was there. Seeing Steven walk out onto the stage and just knowing that he was in the same area as me always made me tear up. I remember the best moment of my life. I was about 13 or 14, and was at a concert with my dad at DTE. We were under the pavillion only 2 seats in from the isle. There was a stage set up in the lawn, and we didn't know it at the time but Aerosmith would be walking down our isle to get to it. When the security started lining up we finally realized it. They were side by side and had their arms locked together. The band members started coming down one by one and there was a security guard between each one. An older couple were sitting in the seats next to me right at the edge of the isle, so they let me switch with them while Aerosmith walked down so I could get closer to them. The security also let me stand on the end seat and they leaned away so I could reach out between them. Steven was the last one to come down, and I was screaming and freaking out with excitment. He was being rushed pretty quickly and he tripped and fell right before he got infront of me. As he stood back up, he looked right up at me and made eye contact. He pointed at me, and gave me a huge smile as he walked by. I burst into tears and was shaking because I couldn't believe that not only was he litterally right there in front of me but he smiled at me! I told everyone at school the next day and acually still tell this story all the time. It probably sounds so lame but to me it was the best feeling ever. I have been to 12 concerts so far and they just get better and better. My love for Steven Tyler will never die and only grows stronger every day. I'm worried that I will die without ever even getting the chance to spend time with the man who has influenced my life so greatly. I have had people talk about me and refer to me as "the girl who loves Aerosmith", thats just how intense this is. It has become a tradition with my dad that every year for christmas he gets me something Aerosmith. Clothes, door mats, movies, cds, mugs, blankets, keychains, books, you name it I probably have it. The box and guitar for Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is even displayed in my living room. I was 15 when I met Alex, and we were best friends instantly. It was so awesome to find someone who felt the same exact way I did. We talk about Steven all the time and how sexy he is and the things we would do to see him. We get so jealous when we see other girls who get to meet him because we know they don't love him or are effected by him as much as we are. My hope is that I can pass this love down to my children. I have 2 daughters now and I even have Aerosmith shirts and teddy bears for them. I acually got my oldest to take her 3 year pictures in her shirt and it is framed next to my bedside. Aerosmith is more than just a band to me, their music has gotten me through so many hard times and has litterally turned me into the person I am today. And Steven Tyler, well...my feelings for him are a little too dirty to put on this blog. Seriously though, as much as I am physically attracted to him, I am attracted to the man he is underneath. He is absolute genius and I just feel like my life would not be complete without at least meeting him so he can know who I am, and how much of an impact he has on me.

Steven Tyler + American Idol = Something I would watch!
Seriously. Come on Fox. This is your chance! I have never watched a full episode of American Idol and when I did tune in, it was only the first few try out episodes, because, let's face it, those are hilarious. If Steven Tyler were to become a judge on that show I would not only watch every episode, I would actually vote!! To have an opportunity to gaze upon the sexiness that is Steven Tyler every week would be incredible! So please! Please! Please! Make Steven Tyler a judge!!
I first heard the magical music of Aerosmith in the womb, and that is where my story, my love for Steven Tyler begins. How awesome is that? I was jamming to the sweet vocals of Steven Tyler while I was still in my mom. My parents were always playing rock, and lot of it. But of all the bands they listened to, Aerosmith stood out to me. By the time I began going to elementary school I was hooked. I had a walkman and a few Aerosmith cassettes (Aerosmith, Classics Live I & II, and Permanent Vacation.) I went through 2 Permanent Vacation tapes before I was through grade school! I rode the bus to and from school every day, at least 40 minutes each way. I had terrible anxiety and I hated riding the bus, but when I took my walkman to school with me, the bus ride flew. I would pop in a tape and before I knew it I would be at school.
As a kid, people always ask you what you want to be when you grow up. Most kids wanted to be doctors or fire fighters. My answer: To marry Steven Tyler. After a few odd looks I began answering that I wanted to be a veterinarian or a marine biologist, but the dream to marry Steven Tyler remained. I was so proud of my love for Aerosmith. I wanted everyone to hear their amazing songs and love them as much as I did/do. I would try to get other kids on the bus to listen to them on my walkman, but they were completely uninterested. How could they be so ignorant? By middle school I stopped trying. People looked at me like I was crazy when they talked about New Kids On The Block and I had no idea what they were talking about. New Kids who? What about Steven Tyler?!?!
It wasn't until the summer before 11th grade that I met someone else who truly understood my immense love for not only Aerosmith, but Steven Tyler. Enter Jenny Hull, aka: my BFF.
Jenny and I met through a mutual friend the summer of 2001. Jenny lived such a charmed life when it came to Aerosmith. The girl had movies, t-shirts, posters, magazines, a blanket, and all sorts of things I couldn't have even imagined! And to top it off she went to concerts!! I couldn't believe it. I didn't even know such things existed!! I was so jealous I could hardly contain it. I felt like orphan Annie; like I was shut out of this amazing world filled with Aerosmith. I'm still jealous! From that moment, I knew I had found the one person that would truly understand my love. Though i lacked the material possessions, the love in my heart was just as big and I think Jenny saw that. We have been best friends since then, except for a small period of time between 2004 and 2005, but let's not get into that...
In 2003 I went to my first Aerosmith concert with my husband. I was 18. We had center, mid level seats. I was about 5 months pregnant with my son. As I walked through security the lady told me to make sure I don't rock the baby right out! I cried when Steven Tyler walked onto stage. I was so overcome with emotion, and it wasn't just because I was pregnant. To simply be in the same stadium as he was was beyond comprehension. I went to their next concert in 2005. Center, mid level seats. Pregnant again, this time a girl. I cried, again as well. Being so close to him again was indescribable. And now my babies are 6 and 4 years old, and they both LOVE Aerosmith! Every time an Aerosmith song comes on the radio my daughter starts singing along and she yells, "Mommy!! It's your song!" Her favorite songs are "Love In An Elevator" and "The Farm." When those songs come on she jumps up and down yelling, "It's my song! It's my song!" My son loves to jam to Aerosmith too, though not as intensely as my daughter. I am so happy to have been able to pass down my love for this amazing band. They've literally been listening to them all of their lives! When Aerosmith: Guitar Hero came out I waited outside the Best Buy store before they opened in an Aerosmith t-shirt. I wanted to be sure I got my game so I got there early and everything. To my surprise I was the only person there in Aerosmith gear extremely excited for the release of the game. Once the store opened I bolted for the display and snatched up my copy, ready to fight someone for it. Except there was no one there. I was the only one. I couldn't believe that other people were not as excited as I was. I blasted home and finished the game on easy and got most of the way through medium that day. As much as I dream of meeting Steven Tyler I am so afraid I would cry and make a complete fool of myself. This year I have floor seats, I don't know how I am going to handle being so close to him!
Into my adult-hood my love for Aerosmith has not faded. They are still number one in my heart and I still dream about Steven Tyler. Just to meet him, be near him. I have loved that man since I was a child and I will love him until I die.
We have been obsessed with Steven Tyler and Aerosmith since we were kids. It has always been our dream to see him, meet him, touch him, simply be near him... have sex with him if he allowed it. We just can not die peacefully without our dream being fulfilled. It is our hope that one day he will come across this blog and know of our extreme love for him, and maybe he would want to fulfill our wildest dreams. Until that day, we will update this blog, plastering it with all the reasons we love him, hoping to at least dream of him sexually while we slumber, awaiting the day that he climbs in our bed... or at least just meets up with us, whatever he would prefer. We will always he here for you Steven. Waiting.
