how did aerosmith come up with their name
Aerosmith The members of the band reportedly spent afternoons getting stoned and watching Three Stooges reruns.[28] One day, they had a post-Stooges meeting to try to come up with a name. Kramer said when he was in school he would write the word aerosmith all over his notebooks.[29] The name had popped into his head after listening to Harry Nilsson's album Aerial Ballet, which featured jacket art of a circus performer jumping out of a biplane. Initially, Kramer's bandmates were unimpressed; they all thought he was referring to the Sinclair Lewis novel they were required to read in high school English class. "No, not Arrowsmith," Kramer explained. "A-E-R-O...Aerosmith."[30] The band settled upon this name after also considering "the Hookers" and "Spike Jones."[29][31]
