The Best Aerosmith Covers Of All Time: Guns n' Roses

It's well documented that the members of Guns n' Roses have an affinity for Aerosmith. It's no surprise, then, that GnR covered Aerosmith early and often in their career.

"Mama Kin" is a song on Aerosmith's self-titled debut album. Steven Tyler wrote the song and he famously has the title tattooed on his arm. The band once owned a bar in Boston called "Mama Kin Music Hall."

Guns n' Roses included a live version of "Mama Kin" on their 1988 album Lies.

Axl Rose's vocals are undeniably distinct, and he brings his unique voice to the cover. While Steven Tyler's original vocals are hard to match (and really can't be), Axl's interpretation adds a new layer of energy to the track. His soaring high notes and raspy delivery provide a fitting tribute to the original.

Aerosmith Postpones 'Peace Out' Tour Until 2024

Apparently Steven Tyler's vocal cord injury was worse than first thought... and he even fractured his larynx. Who knew that was even possible from singing? See the announcement below. Sigh.

Steven Tyler Injures Vocal Cord; Aerosmith Reschedules Some Shows

Let's hope this is a one-off situation and doesn't spiral out of control. Aerosmith has postponed a bunch of shows because Steven Tyler hurt a vocal cord on Saturday night. Apparently the cord is bleeding so he obviously can't sing. The list of canceled (and already rescheduled) shows is below. Aerosmith will be off the road for 30 days.

You'll recall a big hunk of the Deuces Are Wild Las Vegas residency was scrapped because Steven was ill or hurt. Now this.

Tesla, 'S.O.S. (Too Bad)' - New Video

Happy football Sunday! Tesla covered Aerosmith on their most recent album Full Throttle Live. The band just released a video of the cover of "S.O.S. (Too Bad)" and it's really great! Also, I want that Aerosmith shirt that Tesla frontman Jeff Keith is rocking. 😍😍

"S.O.S. (Too Bad)" is on the Aerosmith album Get Your Wings. It's a hardcore Aero fan favorite for a reason - it's amazing live!

Aerosmith Kick Off 'Peace Out' Farewell Tour

Aerosmith's "Peace Out" tour is officially underway. The goodbye trek started last night in Philadelphia and reviews, photos, videos and the setlist are all popping up online. I'm gonna need "Last Child" and some other swaps by the time my show rolls around in January:

Edit this setlist | More Aerosmith setlists

The intro video and stage look badass - but you'll have that when there's endless money to go around! Look how close some fans are to the band when the show starts! This setup is way more in-the-round than originally advertised.

And look how happy the band is - they are all smiles. 

Some really close photos from a Redditor lucky enough to be in the pit:

Few shots from the Philly show tonight.

The Wells Fargo Center Instagram also has some awesome concert shots that show the crowd and a fuller stage view. I am excited to say the least!

22 Semis For Upcoming Aerosmith Tour!

Aerosmith's farewell tour starts in just a few days. The band posted a little behind-the-scenes info yesterday to social media.

Details: this will be the band's biggest tour production ever. In fact, 22 semis will carry the load of rigging points, lights, and heaps of equipment. I can't wait to see the videos pop up online of the first shows. Especially since my tour stop isn't until January!

Aerosmith At Woodstock '94 - Full Performance

T.G.I.F in the biggest way possible!

Thanks to Reddit - I found the video below! Woodstock '94 had about an zillion awesome headline acts. One of them was Aerosmith and I was so devastated that I was way too young to attend this festival. I remember watching the whole thing on MTV the entire weekend it was happening. I will say the rain and mud didn't look too fun, but there is no doubt that '94 was way better than the catastrophe that was Woodstock '99.
