Aerosmith - Come Together

Aerosmith es una banda estadounidense de rock123​formada en Boston en 1970. Sus miembros son: Steven Tyler (cantante), Joe Perry (guitarra), Tom Hamilton (bajo), Joey Kramer (batería) y Brad Whitford (guitarra). Conocidos también como "Los chicos malos de Boston" o "Toxic Twins" –apelativo por el que se conoce a sus dos líderes por su histórica adicción a las drogas–,4​ su sonido, agresivamente rítmico, tiene raíces en el blues, y contribuyó a establecer el sonido del hard rock y pop rock entre los años 1981 y 1990.5678

La banda firmó contrato con Columbia Records en 1972 y lanzó un serie de álbumes que han sido certificados multi-platino, comenzando con su álbum debut homónimo. En 1975, la banda se consolidó con el álbum Toys in the Attic, y con su siguiente álbum Rocks de 1976, cimentaría su estatus de super estrellas de hard rock.9​ Para finales de la década de los 70, serían una de las bandas más populares de hard rock en todo el mundo, consiguiendo cosechar un gran número de seguidores, a los que a menudo se les llama "Blue Army".10​ Sin embargo, la adicción a las drogas y los conflictos internos que se hicieron sentir en la banda darían como resultado las salidas de Perry y Whitford en 1979 y 1981, respectivamente. Serían sustituidos por Jimmy Crespo y Rick Dufay.1​ La banda no tendría éxito entre 1980 y 1984, lanzando solamente un álbum, Rock in a Hard Place, que sería disco de oro, pero no a la altura de sus éxitos anteriores.

Aunque Perry y Whitford regresaron en 1984 y la banda firmó un contrato de grabación con Geffen Records, no sería hasta el lanzamiento en 1987 del álbum Permanent Vacation en que la banda recuperaría el nivel de popularidad que había experimentado en la década de 1970.11​ A lo largo de las décadas de los 80 y 90, la banda obtendría varios éxitos y ganaría numerosos premios musicales con los álbumes Pump (1989), Get a Grip (1993), y Nine Lives (1997). Su regreso fue descrito como uno de los momentos más importantes y espectaculares de la historia del rock and roll.31​ Después de 46 años de dar conciertos, la banda tenía prevista una gira de despedida en 2017,12​ pero dicha gira tuvo que ser pospuesta debido a que Steven Tyler tuvo problemas de salud. Hoy en día la banda se encuentra en una residencia en Las Vegas.
Aerosmith es una de las bandas con mayor número de ventas de todos los tiempos,13​ han vendido más de 200 millones de álbumes en todo el mundo,14​ incluyendo 66,5 millones de álbumes solamente en los Estados Unidos.13​ También tienen el récord de ser el grupo estadounidense con mayor número de discos de oro y platino. La banda ha conseguido 21 entradas al Top 40 del Billboard Hot 100,15​ nueve números uno en el Mainstream Rock Tracks, cuatro premios Grammy, y diez MTV Video Music Awards. Han sido incluidos en el Salón de la Fama del Rock en el 2001, y en 2005 fueron clasificados n.º 57 en la lista de los 100 mejores artistas de todos los tiempos de la revista Rolling Stone.
