The scumbag sold lids of grass to me and some other kids, then busted us for possession," the rocker told Rolling Stone of how he got expelled from his school in Yonkers.

Before there was Aerosmith, there was Chain Reaction. Steven Tyler posed with his first band in New York City circa 1967. They called it quits after the rocker, who was playing drums at the time, tried to strangle the lead guitarist during a gig in front of a ritzy crowd at a small resort hotel owned by his parents in Sunapee, New Hampshire.

Aerosmith officially formed in 1970. Three years later, the band released their self-titled debut album.
