Expertise
I can answer most questions about Aerosmith, including things like their albums, shows they`ve done, information about the band members, songs, etc.
Experience
A lot of experience. I've read books and have followed the band for 13 years now, ever since I was little. I thoroughly know their music, music videos, personal information about the members, the band's history, live shows they've done, and their songs. I've also attended two of their live shows.
