Some might say it was too early to rock, but Steven Tyler and his Aerosmith bandmates hit the stage at 1pm on Tuesday for an invite-only performance at the famous Whisky A Go Go, a West Hollywood club they last played in 1973.

The performance officially introduced the band’s upcoming Let Rock Rule North America tour, and included a cameo from Tyler’s long-time friend Slash, who will join Aerosmith on the road, along with Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators.

Tyler, characteristically playful as usual, addressed the crowd as “Ladies and G******s” and asked the packed house, “Do you love this band almost as much as I do?”

Almost half an hour into the set, Slash (and his top hat) joined Aerosmith on stage for Mama Kin before launching, much to the crowd’s delight, into an instrumental version of Guns N’Roses’ Welcome to the Jungle after which Tyler gave an honorary shout out to Axl Rose.

The Let Rock Rule tour begins on July 10 in Wantagh, New York, and makes it way to The Forum in Los Angeles on July 30.
