From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Raymond Tabano (aka Crazy Raymond) (born December 23, 1946 in The Bronx, New York, USA) is a musician and former guitarist of Aerosmith. He grew up as the childhood best friend of Steven Tyler. However, due to his eccentric behavior and average playing skill, he was replaced by Brad Whitford in 1972. Nevertheless, he continued to be an integral part of the band. He designed the original Aerosmith logo. In addition, he helped maintain the band's office, hangout, and recording studio, "The Wherehouse", throughout the 1970s and started up the band's fan club and line of merchandise, designing and selling merchandise himself and writing the band's fan club newsletters. He was fired in 1979, by Aerosmith's managers Steve Leber and David Krebs for allegedly conducting business behind the management's back.
