Black n’ Blue drummer Pete Holmes was recently interviewed on our Full in Bloom Podcast. During the interview, Holmes talked about the band’s very first tour opening for Aerosmith.

full in bloom: I wanted to make sure I covered the Aerosmith tour, because they were still getting wasted at that point, right? Pete: Oh boy, were they. Yeah. full in bloom: It was right before they got sober, wasn’t it?

Pete: It was right before. I mean literally during the tour. I was just jazzed to go out and play with Aerosmith. I grew up listening to that shit. Get Your Wings is still….those first two Aerosmith (albums) are still some of my favorites. So to go out with these guys…and we’re playing, right out of the gate, we’re playing arenas to sold out crowds. And we’re on the bus and we’re just playing rock star to the tens, you know, we’re just partying, getting laid, the fucking whole thing is just crazy….everything you think it could be…and we’re playing with Aerosmith. To get to meet our childhood heroes was really something, but, you know, there was something off-kilter. Everybody was pretty nice, but Steven Tyler was a fucking prick. He was just a fucking asshole. All the other guys…Joey Kramer was great to me…all the other guys were super nice.
