Local celebs go gaga over Aerosmith

Local celebrities turned instant fans when they trooped to the Mall of Asia Arena to watch international rock group Aerosmith perform in Manila for the first time on Wednesday, May 8 in connection with its “Global Warming Tour.”
 
The group, composed of lead vocalist Steven Tyler, guitarists Joe Perry and Brad Whitford, bassist Tom Hamilton and drummer Joey Kramer, is the collective voice behind the hit songs “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing,” “Cryin,” “Walk This Way” and “Crazy.”
 
Rock singers Kean Cipriano, Jugs Jugueta and Yael Yuzon didn’t want to ‘miss a thing’ in Aerosmith’s concert.

Heavy traffic
 
Yael braved heavy traffic to watch the band he’s been listening to since 1992.
 
“Galing ng Aerosmith. Watching them with @tmacvibe right after watching blur in Hk 2 days ago... #ultrablessed,” he tweeted.
 
Kean got more fired up to do music after watching the band’s “solid show.” His favorite part was seeing the group perform “Dream On.”
 
“Dahil sa napanuod ko na concert ng aerosmith, mas minahal ko lalo ginagawa ko. Gusto ko lang tumugtog buong buhay ko,” he posted.

Jugs watched the concert with  Itchyworms bandmate Kelvin Yu.
 
“Thank you so much, Aerosmith for coming to Manila!! AWESOME, awesome show!,” Jugs posted.
 
Kapamilya actor-singer Khalil Ramos said Aerosmith’s show was the “best night” of his life. He even framed his VIP ticket for the show. “This band made me dream. This band made me believe. This band inspired me. This band made me inspire people. Aerosmith, Ladies and Gentlemen,” Khalil posted.
 
Tattoos and long hair

Bubbles Paraiso, who came with her father and boyfriend, was starstruck when she saw Steven, whom she described as a “rock god.” Having watched Slash and Aerosmith concerts, Bubbles noticed that rock stars have “tattoos and long hair.”
 
“Ticket price: worth every centavo. Papa's smile the whole nite: PRICELESS. #aerosmithliveinmanila ,” Bubbles posted.
 
PBA player Chris Tiu took time off from basketball duties to watch Aerosmith.
 
“Rockin' back to the 90's with Aerosmith at the MOA Arena ,” Chris posted.

“It’s Showtime” host Coleen Garcia unleashed the rocker in her by getting up close with Steven and posting a photo of them together.
 
“Got this close, didn't need to zoom in anymore! Gaaaahhhh they are crazyyyy! #Aerosmith,” she raved.
 
Showbiz reporters Gretchen Fullido and Cesca Litton also shared photos from the concert.
“Woohoo!!! AEROSMITH singing my fave song CRYIN'!!! crowd goes wild!!! Love you @iamstevent @joeperry yeah!,” Gretchen posted.
