Amazing reaction man!! 🤘

Don't know how I ended up on the "black people react to classic rock" side of KZfaq but i'm never leaving.🤣

I can't believe Steven wrote this at 16 years old, he's still rocking past 70 years old too. Amazing.

Love how young hip-hop fans can listen, understand and appreciate this stuff.

I just don't understand how you go through life without even accidentally hearing this?

I DON'T CARE WHAT COLOR YOU ARE... IF YOU AIN'T FEELIN THIS SONG YOU HAVE NO SOUL

"And Kratos cast himself from the highest mountain in all of Greece..."

Loved this in “Sing for the Moment” by Eminem and how Steven Tyler came out at the rock and roll hall of fame to sing it with Em. Legends.

Eminem used samples of Dream On for "Sing for the Moment"

He recognized the opening from Eminem - Sing For The Moment

I'm black I grew up listening to rap in the 90s when I heard this song it gave me chills so deep! Love this song! I told my son to listen to all music every one got a story!

I love the line, “you have to lose to know how to win”! One of my all time faves. So proud to be a GenXer. We had the BEST music growing up!

watching a hip hop fan enjoy rock does put a smile to my face

Anybody else wish they could listen to their favorite song for the first time again? 🙋🏽‍♂️

This song is 50 years old... Im still rocking this like it's a new track in 2023!!! Love this riff!!! Love the beat... Love the song... love Aerosmith ❤️

I’m not a big Aerosmith fan but Dream On is arguably one of the best rock songs ever written.

One of the best lines in rock: “Sing with me, sing for the years, sing for the laughter, sing for the tears, sing with me, just for today, maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away”. There’s a reason these songs stand the test of time & are popular 50+ years later.

When you know Steven Tyler's high-pitched vocals are coming up, but he doesn't and when it drops... XD

A lot of people have sampled this including Em. ❤

7:02 Exactly the moment and reaction I was waiting for. Love it!

Fun fact: Steven Tyler wrote this song when he was 16.

I don't care if Steven Tyler is a buffoon now, he still wrote some of the most beautiful lyrics that were ever recorded. This song is a masterpiece.

The vibe you got from this song is on point, and I appreciate people who truly get songs like this. Much respect.

DONT SLEEP ON THEM CLASSIC ROCK SONGS. YOU MIGHT STUMBLE UPON THE GREATEST MUSIC YOUVE EVER HEARD

The moment when he realized that Eminem sampled this song is probably the best reaction we never got to see

Was in elementary school when I listened to this for the first time. Hits the same now as it did then. We all have regrets, failures and triumphs. This hits all of them.

When i was in high school we used to practice to this in gymnastics, cheerleading and we rollerskated to it every Friday and Saturday night from 5:pm to 12:midnight.... Plus my mom used to take this out of my room and listen to it loud (when I say loud, you could hear it from 1 to 2 blocks away from the house) she danced with the broom and mop when she was cleaning the house. Dad used to watch her. There was times I'd walk into the house and mom & dad was dancing... I really miss mom & dad so much listening to this song...

This is a man who hears the soul of a song and I appreciate that.

His face when Steven Tyler hits that high note.... Priceless 😂😂😂😂😂

This hits me because every Christmas me and all of my family (like 30 people) will meet up and sing this at my grandmother's house in the neighborhood my parents used to live. The song lingers with me and makes me feel uplifted, especially this past year.

Aerosmith was one of the most underrated bands of the 70’s-80’s. In the 89’s that was all our music. Hell that one of the biggest reasons on how we made it through.

There's a reason they've stuck around for FIFTY YEARS. Let that sink in

Music has no race, has no gender, it’s how it moves and evokes emotion in someone that matters

Been telling my kids, grandkids, and students for decades, boomers were the hip generation. When my son came home from college with his "new song finds" they were all songs we listened to in our college dorms. So next time you see your mama or grandma..know she has a history you have no idea about, but listen to her music...and you will know.!!

Its honestly funny how many of these rock songs are so freaking DEEP but until you do a breakdown you dont notice, you are too busy rocking out over the great music and voices.

Am I the only one who really finds it awesome that he is liking this song so much? Lmao

His face when Tyler hits them high notes 😂😂😂

Been listening 2 this song my whole life! Grew up with Aerosmith but i am truly glad all u guys r discovering all this music! I almist envy that cause u got a gazillion songs & bands 2 discover! Love ur Steeler flag! Im from the Pittsburgh area & they r my team! Rock on Shaq!

Glad to see ya still ROCKIN', Bro !!! 😎👍👍

Eminem´s "Sing fot the moment" has this beat and the chorus, that´s where you´ve heard it from :)

Fun fact: the lead singer of Aerosmith “Steven Tyler” wrote this song when he was 15 years old

Watching you enjoy this song was the highlight of my week

My stepfather intruduced this too me when i was like 4 or 5.. Was one of my first big introductions to rock music of that time. Still one of my favorites 20 years later and still flawless.

I'm a 53 year old black man..inspired by these rock music reactions I listened to the Rolling Stones Gimme Shelter...I wept.

Tell me you were not waiting for his reaction at the scream. TELL ME YOU WERE NOT WAITING.

I saw Aerosmith sing this song live when I was 15 at Madison Square Garden and I am 57 now. Your right, this song gives many people hope at difficult times in their life. Thankyou for sharing this video. They have many more songs like this. Check them out. Thanks, Renee 🙏

Someone who grew up around people who only had the classic rock station on, I've heard this song more than I care to admit

*Me scrolling through KZfaq* KZfaq: want to see a guy in 2019 who’s never heard dream on?

He said "this song is perfect" hell yeah it is, Aerosmith is top level music

I’d heard this song in the background growing up but didn’t know it was Aerosmith until a couple of years ago. I was used to the fun but slightly cheesy stuff like Dude Looks Like a Lady and Tyler’s unique voice and I never realised they did what is probably one of the best songs ever written.

Steven Tyler, lead singer and Eminem collaborated with this song in the background in Sing for the moment.

Shaq: Getting hyped about the switch up on the guitar rifts *PAUSE* Me thinking: Wait til he hears Tyler go up an octave... *Great Reaction*

Aerosmith - Walk this way Ft Run DMC. Lets Git it!

Absolutely one of the most iconic songs of all time. Everyone can relate and feel it in their souls!

one of the worlds greatest songs, and I am not a huge Aerosmith fan by any means, but you gotta give respect where it is due.

Music literally can bring everyone together.

I've seen so many comments here regarding race. Let me begin by saying I'm a 50'ish black man. Do y'all remember music segregation in the music stores? Black artists were soul. White artists were rock, country, easy listening. This forced people to segregate within the store. I'm a member of the Lionel Richie FB group. Talking to another member, a white lady in Pennsylvania, she's hearing many of the hits by the Commodores, EWF, Jacksons, and others for the first time...now...in just the past few years. The first rock album I bought was VH's 1984. First I bought the 45 for Jump. Then Panama. I was about to buy Hot for Teacher but thought "I might as well buy the album" I remember the raised eye brow I got when I took the album to the cashier. The album was amazing. One of my favorite songs is "I'll Wait" Later, when David left the group, I saw on MTV "Live Without a Net". The songs were good, the energy...man! And then came Eddie's solo. What have I been missing?!? I own all of the Van Halen with Sammy CDs plus 1984. I also got into Aerosmith. In an interview regarding Run DMC and Walk This Way, Steven Tyler said he never understood judging people by their color. I had heard Dream On, but I never listened to it. I wasn't as animated as Shaq, but I was just as amazed. This song is deep. Steven Tyler can sang. Not just sing. He can sang. Listen, I can go on about black and white forever. We've all been sheltered by misunderstanding for decades. I can go on and on. If you read this, here's an e-hug :)

@2:44 … yep. It’s some insane sound and lyrics right there, my man. Goosebumps!

Kathy here - just found your channel and so glad I did. What a song to have you react to my first time out with you. Aerosmith and Steven Tyler, lead singer, are one of the most iconic rock bands out there. Steven is still rocking today, and he is 70! He wrote this when he was 16 but didn't record it until he was an adult. The analogy of life for someone so young is astounding. Thanks for appreciating the music I grew up on.

His face when Steve hit that note 😄 he just froze lol

Run DMC Aerosmith Walk this way It was epic I remember seeing it as a kid

I love the range of emotion we see on your face. Your facial expressions, the way your body reacts to the music and your thoughtful banter are what makes you my top favourite reactor. Much ♥️

I grew up with this music, but I get such a kick out of these reaction videos. Shaq is a hoot...rock on bro!

Eminem Sing for the moment is where you've heard this song

I've "known" this song my whole life. But I've never experienced it until I did with you.

I grew up on all this music, I remember when this was released, still have all my music and your reaction is awesome.

When you said at the end... "It's amazing what music can do" you took the words out of my mouth. Keep it up, man. These videos are great! It's awesome to share the experience of hearing some of these songs for the first time myself and/or relive the first time I heard them vicariously through you. 💯

The Eagles - Hotel California is another all-time song if you haven't listened to it yet.

My favorite all-time song. There's a sadness to it, but also an anger and tenacity to never give up. A true classic.

I really forgot how great this song is . Those vocals are AMAZINGGGGG

This song takes you on an emotional rollercoaster ride.

He said "watch how they switch it up" and everyone else was "no you watch"

DREAM ON IS ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS OF ALL TIME!!!! Steven Tyler's singing is incredible!

I'm a huge Aerosmith fan. I love this reaction 😊

Was in high school during the 70's. Some amazing deep metaphoric vibe during that time. The riffs and swells just purely emotionalize every phrase. Would love your take on the Eagles - Desperado.

What makes the genre of "black people react to classic rock" so great is that these guys don't know the songs that were so much part of our lives. Its like getting to hear them for the first time again.

Piano man- billy Joel. Let us see how that lyric,”they’re sharing a drink called loneliness, but it’s better than drinking alone.” Hits you

I always love seeing your reactions to classic rock and the amazing voices , the amazing guitar players , the amazing drummers..... The 70s and 80s were the most amazing time for rock bands.... does you see by your reactions the music stands the test of time ❤️🤘🤘

"The past is gone" SHAQ: I never thought of it like that

Glad ur still exploring other music shaq keeps stuff fresh

Great song! Great reaction! GREAT BAND!! Also love your shirt ! As someone from Upstate SC I love my state and both of our amazing football college teams!

I absolutely love your reaction videos and glad that you have such diverse taste. Your reactions are genuine and proof that good music is timeless and meant to be appreciated by everyone. Keep expanding your eardrums and sharing great works of art to KZfaq.

Eminem sing for the moment. The same chorus. Em paying homage again

Hearing Aerosmith being called "classic rock" just makes me feel old AF.

I recall Aerosmith playing at the Stone Church in Newington, NH in the early to mid 70s. Place had a dirt floor. What a trip. Lot of groups played there. It was and experience to say the least. What I wouldn't give to turn back the clock and relive it all.

i graduated in 1976, and this was our class song! i think of high school every time i hear this!! thank you for bringing back the memories!!

You've opened a rabbit hole,my man. And Aerosmith's is a deep one.

Back in the Saddle, Walk This Way, Janie's got a Gun, Sweet Emotion. Classic Aerosmith You will NOT be disappointed Coach! 🔥

Music is medicine! Steven Tyler, lead singer of Aerosmith, is 74 & one of his kids, is just 2yrs old! Crazy!! 🤪 Love his music & high pitched voice!

This is my favorite reaction of yours so far! Aerosmith will always be one of the best rock bands ever! Glad you liked it!

*Steve hits the note* Shaq: this is some serious gourmet shi- o______________o

You've just experienced one of the greatest song writers of all time. Steven Tyler is one of the GOATs.

Love how you switch and react to different music genres, and the fact you take in the lyrics. Awesome bro.

best there is. love your reactions. very thoughtful and love your attention to lyrics

Jesus, his expression when Steven Tyler hits that high note....priceless!!! Dude is all like 🤯

More classic! The Eagles,The Steve Miller Band, Foreigner, Journey 🧡👏🏼🔥🎶

This is officially the highlight of my week! Stay blessed my dude!

I love your reactions!! music has no boundaries. I love that you're so open minded and so real. 💙💙🙏🙏

Pretty cool being able to see someone hear this for the first time

You probably heard this from Eminem Sing for the moment, Coach!!!
