From the start Aerosmith was seen as a classic-model, bad-boy rock band in the tradition of the Rolling Stones, with the love/hate chemistry between Tyler and Perry compared to that of Jagger and Richards (the pair eventually began calling themselves the Toxic Twins, a play on the Stones' Glimmer Twins). With the addition of drummer Joey Kramer and co-guitarist Brad Whitford (who joined after founder Ray Tabano was sacked at Tyler's behest), the band moved to Boston and took the name Aerosmith in 1970. He met his future bandmates, guitarist Joe Perry and bassist Tom Hamilton, when they were playing in a band he caught in New Hampshire. Unlike most of his bandmates, Tyler was not a native Bostonian: Born Steven Tallarico, he was raised in New York and grew up attending rock concerts, including the Woodstock Festival in 1969. One of America's most recognizable rock singers in the '70s and beyond, Steven Tyler is the frontman of Boston's eternal hellraisers Aerosmith.
