10 Greatest Rock Frontmen Of All Time
3. Steven Tyler - Aerosmith
Steven Tyler is an artist who is an absolute natural when it comes to stage performance. Originally employed as a drummer in his previous bands, Tyler insisted on being out front delivering the hits in his new outfit Aerosmith. Together, the band took their hard rock boogie to the masses.
With his stratospheric scream, Tyler gave the band a true showman whose undeniable rock swagger was transfixing every time the band took the stage. Whether he was singing at a mic or from behind a piano, Tyler's knack for whipping up rock and roll mayhem during live shows struck a nerve with the youth of America. Tyler's habits as a control freak were also a key factor in making sure the band was firing on all cylinders night after night.
The miraculous part of it is that it hasn't stopped. While most singers tend to drift vocally and end up a shell of what they once were, Steven has consistently maintained his vocal approach for over 40 years. As the band continues to deliver their bluesy brand of hard rock, there is truly no end in sight for the Demon of Screamin.
