Two Legendary Hard Rockers and the Story of Their Classic 70s Hit | Professor of Rock

In the early 70s 'the bad boys of Boston” know as Aerosmith were a maelstrom of chaos, and chemically induced tension. The leaders Steven Tyler and Joe Perry battled through their toxic relationship between themselves, and an interloper to produce a rockin’ rampage that started with bassist Tom Hamilton’s vibe, Sweet Emotion would be the band’s breakout hit. We relive the 'bitter sweetness' of a classic rock standard NEXT on Professor of Rock.

We place the song in it’s historical context and most of the time the song has been bigger over the long haul than the song or song that were ahead of hit back when it was released.

Bassist Tom Hamilton was in a few bands with soon-to-be Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry and David "Pudge" Scott.
Including the power trio called The Jam Band. bbIt was at a Jam Band gig in summer 1970 at a place called "The Barn” in Sunapee, New Hampshire that the 3 members of the Jam Band met Steven Tyler and the four of them agreed to move to Boston to start a band. Pudge left the band, and was replaced by Berklee College of Music student, Joey Kramer, on drums.

Ray Tobano, a childhood friend of Steven Tyler came on board for a brief stint, and when he exited, another Berklee College student, Brad Whitford, joined, and the classic lineup of Aerosmith was formed. Aerosmith became known as the Bad Boys of Boston- Perry, Kramer, Hamilton, Whitford, and Tyler.

Aerosmith created some amazing music on their self-titled debut album in ’73, that included the single “Dream On.” “Dream On” went to #1 on WBZ-FM, and WRKO-AM in Boston. However, the rock ballad stiffed nationally- stalling at #58 on the Billboard Hot 100.
During the recording for Aerosmith’s sophomore LP Get Your Wings, Tom Hamilton popped out what he called a “simple” bass

riff, that he didn’t feel was anything special at the time.
Ironically, what Hamilton pegged as a basic melody would evolve into “Sweet Emotion”- Aerosmith’s national breakout hit, and one of the most revered tracks of the Rock Era.

Hamilton says it was the band's producer, Jack Douglas, who coaxed the bassline out of him to present to his bandmates. Near the end of the sessions for Aerosmith's brilliant 3rd record Toys In The Attic, Douglas asked if anyone in the band had some spare riffs lying around. Hamilton promptly began playing his riff, which scored BIG with Douglas & his Aerosmith brothers.
