Iconic Aerosmith tour van abandoned in the 70s discovered in the woods
Before they were recognized as "America's greatest Rock and Roll band," Aerosmith was basically a five-piece band, also referred to as "the Bad Boys from Boston", trying to make a name of their own in the 1970's rock music scene. In their endeavor to make their presence felt, the original members - Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton, Steven Tyler, Joey Kramer, and Ray Tabano (who was later replaced by Brad Whitford) - would spend their early days traveling New England and playing to smaller crowds.
This was almost four decades back. While a lot has changed since then, an iconic and nostalgic piece of memory attached to the band, which has been recently discovered, is their old tour van - a 1964 International Harvester Metro, in a dilapidated condition but with the funky cartoon man and the colorful Aerosmith inscription on the side still intact.
