Song Activity Sheet
“I don’t want to miss a thing” By Aerosmith
I. BEFORE THE SONG

A. Read about the band and song.
Aerosmith has defined, for more than 30 years,
American Rock and Roll. Just a brief overview of their
remarkable career is truly mind-boggling: over 100
million albums sold, countless awards (Grammy's,
American Music Awards, Billboard Awards, MTV
Awards), and a diehard fan-base in the millions
worldwide. As the band embarks on yet another world
tour to support their 25th release Honkin' On Bobo, they
remain creatively vital, and are the platinum standard
for artistic and commercial success in the music
business. Through it all they have defeated the odds, silenced their critics and have undeniably
withstood the test of time.
It began almost by chance back in 1969, in of all places, Sunapee, NH. Drummer/singer, Steven
Tyler, back then fronting a NYC band called Chain Reaction, dropped into the local dive, a club
called “The Barn” to check out The Jam Band featuring guitarist Joe Perry and bassist Tom
Hamilton. Steven was blown away; "The energy was just so intense. I looked and it was like
Joe Perry was the electric guitar. If I can put that energy together with something that my father
gave me, that classical influence, we might have something." By the next year, the three had
joined forces. They recruited Tyler's old Yonkers buddy, drummer Joey Kramer, and
christened the new band; “Aerosmith”, though one key slot remained open. Brad Whitford was
a talented young guitarist from the Boston area who seemed destined to round out the
Aerosmith line up. "The first time I played with Brad, it just seemed to work." says Joe Perry.
"The Chemistry was right."
“I don’t want to miss a thing” was another “smash hit” of the band which featured a new warm-
heavy rock tune, blending electric guitars with an Orchestra Strings sound. Recorded for the
Soundtrack of an up coming film Cast by Lead Singer’s daughter Liv Tayler and actor Ben Affleck
“Armageddon” in 1998.
VOCABULARY
A. Now read again and write the words in bold from the text above to these
meanings then compare your answers with a partner:
1. _______________: extraordinary, wonderful, unusual.
2. _______________: a person found a way to accomplish his/her goals despite the
difficulties.
3. __________: resist especially successfully.
