Rock on & Discuss!

Regarding the live version of Dream On:

And in anticipation of questions about the live version of Dream On, we don't have a ton of specifics. It's being credited as a recording "from the vault", but we don't have a specific year or album that it's tied to. But it is likely that it's the version some of you may be familiar with from a previous music game.

Enjoy!

Walk This Way is a big yes and I love that "TAKE THAT" feeling from Guitar Hero.

[MrPerson]

I love every single one of you.

[Iron_Lombax]

So it IS Aerosmith.

Buying it day one.

[Lowlander2]

May have traded a few songs in, but long overdue. Back In The Saddle alone is worth the price of admission.
