U.S. Servicemen And Women Meet AEROSMITH While On Deployment

June 4, 2007

Pacific Daily News reports: While at sea, sailors and Marines aboard the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Nimitz were surprised by a visit from the legendary rock band AEROSMITH on May 30.

"Hi everybody, this is AEROSMITH. Hope you guys are having fun and playing safe — and, always remember, 'Dude looks like a lady,'" yelled AEROSMITH's lead singer Steven Tyler over the ship's 1MC.

Band members who joined Tyler on board Nimitz during the ship's first Middle East port visit included Brad Whitford, Tom Hamilton, and Joey Kramer.

As the band walked up the officer's brow they were applauded and cheered by Nimitz crew members. First Class Jacob Rico, was one of the thrilled AEROSMITH fans who met the band and had his photo taken with Tyler.

"It's unbelievable; I have been to three of their concerts and I always went out of my way to see the band up close and it never happened," Rico said.

"It was cool that it happened on my duty day. (Steven Tyler) just looked up at me and said, 'This is a big ship.' I said, 'Yeah, come on up.'"
