Steven Tyler’s Duo With a Street Musician

I do love it when a music star is not some far-away idol for his fans but rather a ‘close friend’ who gives you the feeling of confidence and reliability. Some big pop and rock stars today are trying to keep a safe distance from their fans, and it’s quite clear – you never know what people can turn out to be there in the crowd. But how great it may feel you music lovers can approach their favorite artists and feel close to them not just in music but in real life too. Even better if you are trying to follow the steps of your music idol playing his/her songs yourself.

I was so delighted to watch this piece of video where Steven Tyler proved to be so open-minded and easy-going with a fan of his. The Aerosmith vocalist was having a walk around the downtown of Moscow and suddenly that guy is there, playing the Aerosmith hit of all time – I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing. Instead of regarding it as trivial street art attempt to reproduce the hit and just passing by, he chooses to join the young man and make a spontaneous duo with him. You can judge by the guy’s face expression that it was a mixture of shock, embarrassment and joy all in once. For an accidental music duo it was quite a good job!
