"Steven and I stood on the stage at the Boston Garden after the Stones had just played there and the stage was still up.

The more I look back at my life and the things that we did, the more I think there's got to have been a plan for this band, either by a higher power or an angel of mercy. I mean, that's how I like to look at it now, because for all the sh*t I did, someone threw me a rope. I look back on the times I OD-ed, didn't have any money left in the bank, was let go off CBS because the band sucked, couldn't even get my sh*t together to change my clothes, but look at us now. When you actually look back, it's pretty damn amazing, hence the song ("Amazing")."-Steven Tyler
