Is It Arrowsmith or Aerosmith?
Did you ever wonder where the origins of the name Aerosmith came from? One day all the band members were sitting around getting high… like most rock stars do. In between reruns of The Three Stooges, Joey Kramer revealed that when he was a kid, he would continuously write the word “Aerosmith” all over his notebook.

At first, the band was pretty skeptical. They thought the word Perry meant was “Arrowsmith,” which was the title of a Sinclair Lewis book. When they realized he meant “Aerosmith,” it quickly grew on them. They loved it and ultimately chose to name their band Aerosmith, and the rest is history.
