Sasha "Linkin Park" is now a real star in the local party. To sing with the legend of world rock Stephen Tyler is not even a dream for everyone. And here is a real dream. It was late Friday evening, the lead singer of the Aerosmith group was walking around Moscow. The next day he was to give a concert at the Lubyanka. A street musician played the guitar on Kuznetsky Most. Tyler decided to listen to the guy.
I play “In the end” of my favorite band “Linkin Park,” 28-year-old Alexander Anisimov told KP. - There was a small crowd. In general, everything is as usual. In the dark, out of the corner of my eye, I notice among the spectators a man in a shiny leather jacket and with long hair.
- Well? Did you know who it is?
Not! Some foreigner, a tourist, probably. Stood for 20 minutes listening to me. He probably liked the way I play.
- How did he approach you?
Someone in the crowd shouted, "Play the song from Armageddon." I started playing "I don't wanna miss a thing" ("I don't want to miss a moment" - trans.) And that's when it started.
- He walked up to the microphone and you immediately recognized Tyler?
Nooo! I didn't recognize him at all. The foreigner came up to me and began to sing along. I was a little embarrassed and moved to the side. "He sings well" - I think. But when he sang more confidently and louder, it dawned on me who it was. I was in a hurry. How I played at that moment - I do not understand. Probably automatic.
- In the video, you seem to sing along with him ...
Yes, what is there! My breath caught, the words of the song flew out of my head. I sang, to put it mildly, not very well. I still can't believe it was Steve Tyler himself.
- Your friends let slip that you have a big family?
Yes, my wife and I have two children, we are expecting a third, which is about to be born. My wife is now with children with her parents in Minsk. I myself am a Muscovite and while I am here. I make a living.
- Do you work somewhere?
I make money with music - I play in clubs, restaurants, corporate events. I also regularly go out to Kuznetsky Most. But this happened to me for the first time. I wonder if it will happen again. You know, I consider this meeting fateful. In recent years, he tried to get away from music, pampering is everything. And here it is! Still, music is my destiny.

Steve Tyler (Aerosmith) sang with a busker. Steven Tyler sang along with a street musician in Moscow Steven Tyler - American musician, songwriter, better known as the leader of the Aerosmith band, sang the song I Don`t Want to Miss a Thing with a street musician in Moscow. Already today, September 5, Steven Tyler and his band Aerosmith will perform on Lubyanka Square in honor of the City Day. But yesterday Tyler gave another, unplanned, mini-concert. Walking on the Kuznetsky Most, Stephen noticed a street musician who played the guitar and remained almost unnoticed by the crowd. Suddenly, Tyler approached the young man and together with him performed the well-known song I Don "t Want to Miss a Thing, immediately gathering a large crowd of listeners around him. Some of them filmed what was happening on camera. See friends, how simple this world-famous person is, stepped out of the crowd and supported a street musician!Russian type stars...learn...)) Steve Tyler made this guy famous not only on the street;)), one of the eyewitnesses wrote on Facebook. /_2Y2n26j35M http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpOEDr5F1q8EncEie0zZdDw/feed
A simple street musician from the Kuznetsky Most, Alexander Anisimov, at one moment became the star of the Russian and world Internet. No wonder, because none other than Steven Tyler himself decided to sing a duet with a Muscovite. The recording of Aerosmith's frontman performing a song from the band's repertoire with Alexander was destined to become a hit. And LifeNews was able to track down the newly-minted rock hero and ask about the details of the joint performance.
Alexander noted that he does not get tired of revisiting the moment that he will remember for a lifetime. According to him, Steven Tyler stood and listened to how he performs songs of other authors for 20 minutes and no one recognized him in the crowd. The audience realized who was standing next to them only when one of them asked the musician to sing something from Aerosmith. Alexander decided to amaze the audience with a hit from the soundtrack to the Hollywood blockbuster "Armageddon" - and really amazed everyone.
“Someone said, ‘Come on Aerosmith,’ and he left. Before that, I stood and played there for two hours, and everyone filmed me on smartphones, everything, as always. And even when Tyler was in the crowd, everyone was filming me, they simply didn’t recognize him. At first I didn’t understand who was standing next to me either. I look - a man in a hat is standing and his face is somehow very familiar, - said Alexander.
The musician admitted that he could not find an answer why, on the evening of September 4, Stephen Tyler, walking along the Kuznetsky Most, decided to stop and sing with him just like that. On the Internet, many have already accused the authors of the video of staging, but Alexander rejects all such attacks. According to him, his operator friend filmed Tyler in the crowd, because he had been standing there for a long time and no one paid attention to him. And when he approached Alexander to sing together, he deliberately went online to make sure that next to his friend, a simple guy with a guitar, there really is a living legend of world rock.
- I especially remember that he was able to adapt to my playing, because I don’t remember the chords of that song very well. He is a great fellow, - said Alexander.
According to other eyewitnesses interviewed by LifeNews, what happened on Friday is not staged. Tyler just really liked the way Alexander sang.
28-year-old Alexander Anisimov admitted that he has been making music since the age of 16, but he failed to make a career as a singer. The Muscovite abandoned music when he got married and, in order to feed his family, worked as a loader, salesman, and bartender. Now he and his wife are expecting a replenishment - a third child.
According to the musician, last summer he realized that playing the guitar could earn enough money for his relatives. On average, the performance of songs brings Alexander about 70 thousand rubles a month, and his personal record is 30 thousand per night, which he earned just on Kuznetsky Most.
By the way, Tyler didn't leave Alexander any money, but that doesn't matter. The very fact of what happened is already more expensive than any money. The musician promised that he would now learn I don't want to miss a thing by heart and this would be the most important song in his street program.
Recall that the Aerosmith group on the eve pleased not only Alexander, but also hundreds of thousands of other Muscovites who on September 5 watched a free concert in honor of the 868th birthday of Moscow.
Tyler came to Moscow to give a concert for the City Day. Aerosmith will perform at Lubyanskaya Square on September 5th. The City Day concert will start at 15:00 and end at 22:30. Aerosmith will be singing for about an hour and a half. Entrance to the concert will be free. The concert will also feature British singer John Newman and Russian artists Dima Bilan and Polina Gagarina and the Gorky Park band.
During a press conference ahead of City Day celebrations, 67-year-old Tyler confessed his love for Russian cuisine, and the band's guitarist Tom Hamilton said he found Red Square to be a "beautiful and peaceful place." “My grandmother is German, my grandfather is from Ukraine, when they met Russia and Ukraine were one country. Grandfather always considered himself Russian, and I grew up on borscht, I love Russian food. And today I’m going to eat it, ”the Rossiya Segodnya agency quotes Tyler.
Tyler compared the 35-meter-tall Moscow stage to a Hollywood set: "It's amazing, it's freezing cold!" Drummer Joey Kramer said that he was struck by the size of Moscow, but he himself could not live in such a city. Hamilton added that "in America they are used to seeing Red Square on TV, with military parades."
Moscow has not spent a dime on inviting Aerosmith and other artists, said Alexei Nemeryuk, head of the Moscow Department of Trade and Services. Meanwhile, RBC writes, citing tender documentation on the public procurement website, that the Moscow government will spend more than 500 million rubles on the celebration of the city's 868th anniversary, twice as much as last year. The amount did not include the expenses of the mayor's office for the Moscow Autumn festival and for the dispersal of clouds. The concert was paid for by unknown entrepreneurs who love Aerosmith.
Due to bad weather, part of the events within the framework of the holiday had to be postponed, the Interfax news agency reports. This is how the procession of 1,200 participants of the Spasskaya Tower Festival along Tverskaya Street was postponed. “A powerful atmospheric front has approached Moscow from the west, 350-400 kilometers wide, and about 300 kilometers deep,” explained Petr Biryukov, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for housing and communal services and landscaping. He said that in the morning a meteorological reconnaissance plane took off into the sky. “But due to difficult weather conditions, heavy fog and rain, planes took off only at 06:00, which were supposed to provide good weather conditions over Moscow,” he added. First, aviation worked at a distance of 150 kilometers from the city, on the first line of the atmospheric front, then - at a distance of 75-100 kilometers. “Now the planes are operating in the sky along the Moscow Ring Road,” the official said. Later, the group of aircraft was increased to 10 pieces. The work, according to the deputy mayor, continued in extreme weather conditions.
Stephen Tallarico (Tyler), Joe Perry and Tom Hamilton decided to form a band in 1970 in Boston. Guitarist Brad Whitford and Kramer later joined the band. Aerosmith recorded their first album in 1973. In total, the group has sold 150 million albums during its existence. In 2001, the musicians were included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Rolling Stone magazine and VH1 made them one of the 100 greatest musicians of all time.
