Double Elvis

Discrease and as a production of Double Elvis

The stories about Arosmith are insane.

Their mere presence incited riots and violence among fans.

They mixed target practice with Black Tower heroin.

They trained rhodes how to feed them cocaine on stage.

Frontman Stephen Tyler claims he spent $6 million on Coke alone.

They lived on the edge and nearly teetered over it more times than anyone can count.

And at their peak, Arosmith was sex drugs and rock and roll.

In the flesh and wrapped up in spangly scarves and jumpsuits.

Then they swapped some of the sex for more drugs.

And at their lowest, they traded their rock royalty status for a few more pills and thrills

and nearly lost their crown in the process.

But their inevitable comeback in decades-long career

transformed Boston into a renowned rock city in a way that none of their predecessors could.

Because Arosmith made...

I can't believe I'm going to say this...

There are a few bands out there that I have as much of a love-hate relationship with as Arosmith,

but I digress. Great music.

Okay.

But unlike that loop at the top of the show, that wasn't great music.
