Aerosmith's outtakes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aerosmith, just like any other band, have tracks left from their recording sessions, often referred to as outtakes. Little did fans know about many of them until the 1990s and more recently now in the 2000s as lyrics, information and the very songs started leaking on to internet. Additionally, many outtakes later came to fruition as B-sides on singles, on bonus tracks on international pressings of albums, as well as on several compilations, live albums, and box sets that the band has released throughout their career.
Only few bootlegs exist with real complet demos or sessions, from 1982 there's a bottleg called "Pure Gold .999" with some Rock In A Hard Place demos, then 3 other boots exist with demos and outtakes from the 1987 Permanent Vacations album, this bootlegs are: "Permanent Outtakes" (28 tracks), "Love Me Like a BirdDog" (with some Rick Rubbin demos) and the "March 1, 1987 session" where the tape recorded 58m of the band rehearsing few songs. Pump does not have a full bootleg of outtakes; about 5 songs (mostly intrumentals) scaped mid-90's and have been included on several rare songs boot compilations.
Rumors of three fake bootlegs with the tracks left from Pump, Get a Grip, and Nine Lives sessions started in the year 2000 in some internet chat or forum. Those bootlegs were later proved to be fakes, yet the song titles were real.
Nothing full has escaped so far from Get a Grip, Nine Lives, Just Push Play or Honkin' on Bobo. However, 2 tracks from the 00's leaked, these been "Painted on My Heart" written by Diane Warren and recorded for the Gone in 60 Seconds movie soundtrack and "Oxygen" from the 2002 Mauii sessions.
Sources of additonal tracks' info, lyrics and sound bits have escaped from everywhere, official websites, press, band members, close friends, private collectors, etc.
The following is a list of all possible outtakes known so far, mostly take from Gonzaloc's site (http://www.gotsiding.com/aero_outtakes/). Please keep in mind that some are confirmed, as they have been subsequently released on other albums or mentioned as existing by the band, while some are not.
