It May Be Time To Walk Away From "Walk This Way"

.....My problem with these reduxes of "Walk this Way" is always the guitars. The original 1975 hit had this BAD_ASS, crisp guitar riff in it. The guitar part in the verses was clever as hell, too, and showed cutting-edge skills for the period.

.....Since then, Joe Perry and Brad Whitford have always slopped through the song. Compared to the original, it's always a mess. If you can't play it anymore, THEN DON'T!

I'm holding out for "Livin' on the Edge," complete with bodypaint and Edward Furlong losing it on stage (if he hasn't already lost it).

No no, the song can't be "over" til they've performed it with RUN DMC and the San Francisco Orchestra.

Which will probably happen this fall.

How come no one's been made to pay for the time the Aerosmith Rock and Rollercoaster killed a dude?

Steven Tyler is slowly morphing into Joan Rivers...

idolator, i love you because you didn't slam every song they've ever done. instead you kept your argument focused on the problem at hand, and still offered encouragement for previous amazing (read: drugged-up) work. kudos.

Yes, but you can't say it didn't reclaim some hotness as the theme for the City of Boston's 2002 pedestrian safety campaign.

Remember when there was that arcade game, "AEROSMITH: REVOLUTION X?" My friend put a quarter in and almost immediately started complaining....

"Hey, this thing's broken! It won't let me shoot Aerosmith!"

Hey I can't understand why you don't want to see a bunch of 50 and 60 year olds do their 20 year-old remake of a 30 year-old song....
