Friendship With Steven Tyler

I'm Ray-zan the Ape-man!" That immediately solidified their bond for the next fifteen or so years, because Steven was very impressed that somebody had the guts to stand up to him. Later, at around age 14 or so, the two formed the "Green Mountain Boys", a gang that would give them protection from the other gangs. The gang itself did nothing "gang-like" in the words of Ray Tabano, but did however humiliate other boys who expressed interest in joining. This "gang" would eventually form into Steven's first band, The Strangeurs. Chain Reaction also know as the Stranguers was an American Hard rock band from Yonkers New York.
The Strangeurs
Originally called the Strangers, the Strangeurs added a "u" to their name to avoid confusion with another band called the Strangers. The band consisted of Ray Tabano on bass guitar, Steven Tyler on drums, Green Mountain Boys gang member Don Soloman on keyboards and vocals, as well as a few childhood friends on guitars.
