Aerosmith’s Tom Hamilton to feature deep cuts on new tour!

Posted on December 16, 2024

Long time Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton announced a 2025 tour with his new band, Close Enemies, and shared what fans can expect to hear. In a recent interview he stated:

“I knew that we’d be playing a couple of Aerosmith songs. You know, as far I’m concerned, ethically, it had to be songs that I had co-written. It’s not like we’re going to get up there and play ‘Walk This Way,’ ‘Dream On’ [and songs like that]. [But] ‘Sick as a Dog,’ I’ve been dying to play that song live for so long. I was having trouble getting the guys in Aerosmith to put it in the set. I realized, ‘Alright, this is my chance! Now I get to hear that song on stage again.'”
