Aerosmith "Krawhitham"

This, right here, is what being in a band is: The Reality.

The Reality is not about the music video dream of limousines and screaming fans and smashing hotel TVs.

The Reality is not the Rock N Roll Fantasy of playing your songs with passion under hot lights and exploring your artistic sensibility.

Here's what it's really like to be in a band.

You're in the rhythm section. Sure, you write. But you're in the band with some superstar talent who can really create the A material.

Unfortunately, you're band is also in the throws of deep drug and alcohol abuse. Sure you've rented out a convent to record your new album, but what are you supposed to do when your principle songwriters are off somewhere self-medicating?

Well, you can fart around in the studio, I guess.

"Krawhitham" is Aerosmith's Joey Kramer, Brad Whitford and Tom Hamilton, killing time in the studio. When they were waiting for Steven Tyler and Joe Perry to show up with what would become Aerosmith material, they'd lay down grooves, to keep themselves sharp, occupied and interested.

Killing time. That's the reality of being in a band.
