AEROSMITH Bassist Honored With Personal Achievement Award at BOSTON MUSIC AWARDS

December 4, 2007

AEROSMITH bassist Tom Hamilton accepted the Personal Achievement Award from Christopher Guest at the 2007 Boston Music Awards (BMAs),with two of the evening's best jokes. "Turn that crap down," he said of his entrance music of "Sweet Emotion", and later, "I feel like I'm at home. This place is like another room in my house, except smaller."

Tom received the Personal Achievement Award for winning his fight against cancer and also for his support in the community.

AEROSMITH drummer Joey Kramer was honorary chairman of the 2007 Boston Music Awards.

This year's BMAs took place on Saturday, December 1, 2007 at the Orpheum Theater.

"AEROSMITH plays all over the world, but it all starts and comes back here to Boston for me," Kramer previously said. "Boston is in AEROSMITH's DNA. I am part of Boston's family of musicians and to be named the BMAs' Honorary Chairman gives me a real opportunity to serve my brothers and sisters in this rich community of artists."

Kramer and his band mates formed AEROSMITH in 1970 in Boston and the career that followed has been nothing short of legend. The band has sold more than 100 million albums, won multiple Grammys, MTV Video Awards, People's Choice Awards, among nearly countless others and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001. AEROSMITH has been honored with more Boston Music Awards and nominations than any other band in the twenty year history of the event.
