You Don't Wanna Miss These Amazing Vintage Photos of Aerosmith in the '70s and Beyond

The rockers have been living it up for decades — see some throwback photos from their first years on tour together

Aerosmith is going back on tour.

The iconic rock group — originally made up of Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Brad Whitford, Tom Hamilton and Joey Kramer — has been on the scene since 1970, linking up in Boston and going on to worldwide fame.

And though many of today's fans know them thanks to Tyler's own star power (or maybe the movie Armageddon), the band has been making major headlines since those early days.
