Aerosmith is Cocked, Locked, and Ready to Rock. The tour brings the classic rock gods to Europe, South America, and North America from May 17, 2010 until September 16, 2010 in three legs. The band began in Europe, headlining the Download Festival in Donington Park, and went down to South America, playing in several countries for the first time in 16 years. Of course, the Boston Bad Boys had to come to North America. They will play 42 concerts, wowing the crowd with nearly 20 songs every night. They will bring only the best from their extensive rock catalog, being sure to make any Aerosmith fan happy.

The group has been together for 41 years, founded in 1969 when Steven Tyler decided to combine his band, Chain Reaction, with Jam Band, Tom Hamilton and Joe Perry's band. Of course, the new band, Aerosmith, had its share of casualties since it combined two groups. The initial lineup ended up being Tyler singing lead, Joe Perry on lead guitar and singing back up, Ray Tabano on rhythm guitar, Tom Hamilton on bass, and Joey Kramer on drums.

The first step to Aerosmith's success came with a management deal with David Krebs and Steve Leber in 1972. Krebs and Leber famously invited Clive Davis, the Columbia Records president, at the New York City club Max's Kansas City. The resulting deal led to a debut album released in 1973. The self-titled album only reached number 21 on the Billboard 200 and went platinum twice.

Aerosmith suffered a bit of a sophomore slump with Get Your Wings in 1974. Still, despite the lack of a decent chart position peak, it still sold three times platinum. In 1975 Toys in the Attic became the group's biggest album to date. It went eight times platinum and peaked just outside the top ten on the Billboard 200. Aerosmith finished the1970s with three strong albums – Rocks (1976), Draw the Line (1977), and Night in the Ruts (1979) – capped off an incredible decade with incredible album sales and very decent peak positions in the cheats.
