Morrissey wasn’t a fan of Aerosmith in the 70s

Morrissey really had it out for Aerosmith in the 70s.
The former Smiths frontman compared their glam rock songs to ‘a confused struggle’ and said that lead singer Steven Tyler sounded like he was ‘using a microphone to brush his teeth’ when he sung.
Speaking to Melody Maker magazine in 1975, he said: ‘Aerosmith are one of those American dance-a-rama scenic bands with enough punch to see the Stones on pensions and enough make-up to last them through the winter.
‘Their music is that of a confused struggle, with vocalist Steven Tyler sounding as though he is using the microphone to brush his teeth.’
