Music in the Family

Born Steven Victor Tallarico on March 26, 1948, in New York City, New York, Steven Tyler is 70 years old. Even today, many believe that Tyler’s enthusiasm and energy for singing and performing puts many younger artists to shame.

Tyler’s mother was Susan Blancha, a secretary. Meanwhile, his father, Victor Tallarico, was a classical musician and pianist who taught music.

A Life Changing Event

In the mid-‘60s, Tyler spent time in Greenwich Village in New York, where he saw a Rolling Stones live concert at the impressionable age of 17. It changed his life, and from then on, he loved their music more than anything else.

The chemistry between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards blew him away, and he aspired to be in a rock band just like them. So, Tyler started writing songs and met his future bandmate, guitarist Joe Perry, in Sunapee, New Hampshire, in 1969.

In 1970, Tyler formed his own band named Aerosmith, along with bandmates Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton, Brad Whitford, and Joey Kramer. It was then that one of the greatest rides in rock and roll began.

Hitting the Big Time

Aerosmith released their eponymous debut album in 1973 followed by their second album, Get Your Wings, in 1974. They had a moderate hit with their single, “Dream On,” which would go on to become one of their signature songs.

The band’s subsequent albums, Toys in the Attic and Rocks, brought them mainstream success. They spawned the hit singles, “Sweet Emotion,” “Walk This Way,” “Back in the Saddle,” “Last Child,” and “Home Tonight.”

Since then, Aerosmith has released some of the best and most successful albums in hard rock, including:

• Done with Mirrors
• Permanent Vacation
• Pump
• Get a Grip
• Nine Lives
• Just Push Play
• Music from Another Dimension!

Some of their singles, which have become classics are:

• “Dude (Looks Like a Lady)”
• “Rag Doll”
• “Angel”
• “What It Takes”
• “Janie’s Got a Gun”
• “Love in an Elevator”
• “The Other Side”
• “Livin’ on the Edge”
• “Eat the Rich”
• “Cryin’”
• “Crazy”
• “Amazing”
• “Hole in My Soul”
• “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing”
• “Jaded”

Lending His Name to Products

A Passion for Motorbikes

Steven Tyler’s House in Maui, Hawaii

In early 2012, Tyler purchased a beautiful house on the island of Maui in Hawaii for himself, which reportedly cost him $4.8 million.

The beachfront mansion boasts an area of 3,000 square feet with two bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms. It also has outdoor decks that provide unbelievable coastal views.

The house was initially built in 1988 with glass walls, wood, and stone flooring, which are all built around a floor-to-ceiling aquarium!

Fast Wheels for Fast Times

Tyler loves fast cars, and he definitely proved it by buying the world’s fastest convertible, the Hennessey Venom GT Spyder! The company custom built it for him as he has requested one with no top. (C’mon, he’s got to feel the wind through those luscious locks of his!)

Only five of these cars were built in 2013. And it cost Tyler a good $1.1 million to own one for himself!

The rocker has his own collection of both new and old cars, which he has personally selected to buy. They include a Porsche Turbo ($257,500) and a Panoz AIV Roadster.

Helping Abused Girls

These days, Tyler is busy planning an Aerosmith tour. It could very well go on until 2021, as audiences all over the world are anxious to see the “Bad boys from Boston” back in action! Rumor has it, they might also start work on a new album!

Tyler is personally involved in the charity he set up in 2017 called Janie’s House. It is a women’s shelter for abused girls located just outside of Atlanta, Georgia.
