Aerosmith - dude looks like a lady

nickp

anyone done a cover of this that worked really well (no keys but two guitarists)

I really like the track but it has a lot of "production" on it and I wonder what it would be like inna pub

Dunno... it's got me thinking if it could be done in my covers band... It's a great track that could work really well with two guitars I think.

it grooves in a very aerosmith way.  We are training a new bass player so new songs are currently out of the question but I wanna do it (sulks)

the other nice thing is that it doesn't appear on many cover bands set lists (which could of course be a hint)

Definitely do it but your band need to be really good. Steve Tyler's parts are always hard to sing, and its full of sampled vocals and harmonies and horn parts that all need to be covered to get even close to sounding right and being convincing. 2 guitars (or 1 guitar and 1 good keys player) plus ideally 2 or 3 on BVs. Would be an awesome song to play live if you're up to it though.

And no idea how you'd best do the opening bars.

Decent live version here as far as arrangement goes. I'm a big fan of Perry but his solo is a bit rubbish here. It's super-recognisable so I'd want to get it 99% note-for-note with the original myself. Whitford's outro solo is great though.

This one is shit quality and less tight but has a better solo, fwiw
