As described by Spin, Aerosmith's seminal 1975 album "Toys in the Attic" married a "tight-grooving strut" with a "pre-punk appetite for shameless indulgence" which established them as the real deal in the mainstream.
Tyler had the hits to back up the bravado. ".some of them had little pockets sewn in, and I'd weight them with Quaaludes and Tuinals. However, in "Walk This Way," the band's 2003 autobiography, the singer copped to having an ulterior motive for the look: drugs. In an interview with Blender, Tyler explained that the scarves came from old clothes, hung for "good luck" (via ). Roguish scarves would hang loose from the singer's microphone stand "like unraveled mummy wrappings," as Rolling Stone once described them - but they also had a purpose. He explained, "Girls would come in, look at the band and go, 'Ugh!' Roll their eyes," he said. Something which led to a crucial realization for the young star - he wanted to impress girls, and this wasn't cutting it. In his autobiography, "Does the Noise In My Head Bother You?", he even expressed that he identifies with "the stronger of the species" just as much as he does being male, describing his gender identity as being half male, half female. However, his style choices have also leaned toward a libertine romanticism - something potentially picked up from his childhood.Īccording to Rolling Stone, the former "American Idol" judge was raised in Yonkers, New York, where his pianist father helped him to appreciate the work of romantic classical composers including Chopin, Bach, and Beethoven. Crucially, Tyler explained that before rock and roll, he "cut teeth on" playing drums to accompany his father's tame "society music" performances. Sartorially, the "Sweet Emotion" singer has a colorful history with pushing against gender norms.

The rock legend has undergone a fair amount of evolution in his life, with his style, music, and even professional trajectory changing course at various milestones. Having spent a lifetime as the debauched harlequin at the forefront of Aerosmith, rock's loudest mouthpiece may have finally mellowed in his golden years.
