Perry and Hamilton, originally in a band together called the Jam Band, met up with Tyler, Kramer, and guitarist Ray Tabano, and formed Aerosmith; in 1971, Tabano was replaced by Whitford. They released a string of multi-platinum albums starting with their eponymous debut in 1973, followed by Get Your Wings in 1974. The band broke into the mainstream with Toys in the Attic (1975) and Rocks (1976). Draw the Line and Night in the Ruts followed in 1977 and 1979. Throughout the 1970s, the band toured extensively and charted a dozen Hot 100 singles, including their first Top 40 hit "Sweet Emotion" and the Top 10 hits "Dream On" and "Walk This Way". By the end of the decade, they were among the most popular hard rock bands in the world and developed a following of fans, often referred to as the "Blue Army". Drug addiction and internal conflict led to the departures of Perry and Whitford in 1979 and 1981. The band did not fare well and the album Rock in a Hard Place (1982) failed to match previous successes.
Perry and Whitford returned to Aerosmith in 1984. After a comeback tour, they recorded Done with Mirrors (1985), which did not meet commercial expectations. It was not until a 1986 collaboration with rap group Run-D.M.C. on a remake of "Walk This Way", and the 1987 multi-platinum release, Permanent Vacation, that they regained their previous level of popularity. In the late 1980s and 1990s, the band won numerous awards for music from the multi-platinum albums Pump (1989), Get a Grip (1993), and Nine Lives (1997), while they embarked on their most extensive concert tours to date. Their biggest hits during this period included "Dude (Looks Like a Lady)", "Angel", "Rag Doll", "Love in an Elevator", "Janie's Got a Gun", "What it Takes", "Livin' on the Edge", "Cryin'", and "Crazy". The band also filmed popular music videos and made notable appearances in television, film, and video games. In 1998, they achieved their first number-one hit with "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" from Armageddon's soundtrack and the following year, their roller coaster attraction opened at Walt Disney World. Their comeback has been described as one of the most remarkable and spectacular in rock history. Additional albums Just Push Play (which included the hit "Jaded"), Honkin' on Bobo (a collection of blues covers), and Music from Another Dimension! followed in 2001, 2004, and 2012. In 2008, they released Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, which is considered to be the best-selling band-centric video game. After five decades, the band continues to tour and record music. From 2019–2022, the band had a concert residency in Las Vegas, which was interrupted from 2020–2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Aerosmith is the best-selling American hard rock band of all time, having sold more than 150 million records worldwide, including over 85 million records in the United States. With 25 gold, 18 platinum, and 12 multi-platinum albums, they hold the record for the most total certifications by an American group and are tied for the most multi-platinum albums by an American group. They have achieved twenty-one Top 40 hits on the US Hot 100, nine number-one Mainstream Rock hits, four Grammy Awards, six American Music Awards, and ten MTV Video Music Awards. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001, and were ranked number 57 and 30, respectively, on Rolling Stone's and VH1's lists of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. In 2013, Tyler and Perry were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and in 2020, the band received the MusiCares Person of the Year award.

I'm Ready
Aerosmith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As ready as anybody can be.
Well I'm ready.
As ready as anybody can be.
Well I'm ready for you.
I hope you're ready for me.
I got an out of town pistol with the graveyard frame.
I'm drinkin' TNT and smokin' dynomite.
I hope some schoolboy pick a fight.
Cause I'm ready.
As ready as anybody can be.
Well, I'm ready for you.
I hope you're ready for me.
Now listen
All you pretty little chicks with your curly hair,
I know you feel like I ain't nowhere.
But stop what you're doing honey, come over here.
I'll prove it to you baby that I ain't no square.
Cause I'm ready.
As ready as anybody can be.
Well, I'm ready for you.
I hope you're ready for me.
Well I'm drinkin' gin like never before.
I'm feelin' so good honey that's for sure.
One more drink honey I wish you would.
It takes a whole lotta lovin' to make me feel good.
Cause I'm ready.
As ready as anybody can be.
Well I'm ready for you.
I hope you're ready for, a ready for, a ready for
Well, I'm ready for
Oh baby, you know I'm ready for you.
The lyrics of Aerosmith's "I'm Ready" is quite straightforward. It is essentially about the singer's readiness for anything thrown their way - whether it's love, a fight, or anything else. The song begins with the singer stating that they are ready "as ready as anybody can be" and they hope that whoever they are addressing is ready for them too. The lyrics then take a darker turn as the singer talks about their pistol with a "graveyard frame" that shoots "tombstone bullets with a ball and chain" and drinking "TNT" and smoking "dynamite." Nonetheless, they are still ready for anything that might come their way, even if it's a fight with a schoolboy.
The lyrics then shift towards addressing "all you pretty little chicks with your curly hair" and assuring them that he's not a "square." He wants to prove this fact to them and convinces them to come over to him. The song ends with the singer admitting that he is drinking gin like never before and feeling good, but it takes a whole lot of love to really make him feel good. Once again, he states that he is ready for whatever life throws at him.
Overall, "I'm Ready" is a fun, upbeat, and slightly menacing rock song about being prepared for anything life might bring.
