Underrated and Awesome Aerosmith Song

One of my all-time favorite Aerosmith songs, and one that never seems to get its due, IMO, is "Chip Away at the Stone."

This cut is clearly from the pre-sobriety band. While I'm all for people cleaning up their act when their time comes, as this band most certainly has, you can't help but see how different they were back then as a stage presence. More tired-looking and sloppy? Sure. But there was a bit more of an authentic rocker thing going on, as well.

Either way, I have to hand it to these guys for still touring and putting out new, albeit less relevant, music at their age and after their travels.

Party on, Wayne. You are worthy.
