Most people, including Aerosmith's biggest fans, have no idea what a complete and true masterpiece this song track is. It may take listening to 1000 times, but once you see the inner-workings of "What it Takes," you have this "holy shit" moment when you realize the magnitude of its complexity. Desmond Child together with Joe Perry and Steven Tyler created this magic and I literally feel sad for anyone who hasn't a clue as to what I'm going on about here because it means they have never REALLY heard this song for what it is -- A true musical masterpiece.😎

Jumped when this can on the radio to show my dad who cut his first record in ‘61 & was on the business side of the music industry when Aerosmith came out written off as second rate Rolling Stones. My dad flipped when he heard Tyler’s voice & their musicianship

A true gifted singer to sound better live, than the studio recorded version.

I grew up in the 80's, graduated high school in 86. It truly was a different world from today. The music of that time period will always hold a special place in my heart. All of my favorite bands Aerosmith , Motley Crue, Skid Row, Tesla, Ratt, Def Leppard, Warrant, Poison, Bon Jovi, Wasp,

Best version i ever heard in my life including live performances, and studio performances

Tyler's close to 50 here? In that ballpark. Sheesh what a talent. Not too many aging rock singers can bring that kind of volume with the range.

Wow.... the best version of this tune hands down!!

Whoever’s singing the harmony is nailing it too! What an awesome band! I always thought don henley would sound great singing this too, real nice late era Eagles vibe

How have I never heard this performance, I'm a you tube aero junkie and this pops up just now wtf. Brilliant performance.

That is one killer live version

So glad am still alive to listen to his music. Steven was given his powerful voice to do what he's supposed to be doing. Thank you so much for giving us such beautiful songs, performances, and your voice. Your music will live forever!

Woww...what a voice...goosebumps...amazing performance...❤❤🎶🎵🎤🎸🥁🔝

thistune is by far the best song ever made by steven and the band and hes made some bloody good ens lol

la mejor versión que he escuchado hasta hoy en día sin ninguna duda que fabulosa canción de Aerosmith !!!

One of the most underrated songs by Aerosmith, but undoubtedly good as heaven

this song is my ringing tone from year 2000 till now i love it such a nice song and a wonderful voice of Steven😚😚😚😚

Eternal song for hundreds years...Amazing Steven

No one like them. Great blues song…you can feel every note. Masterful.

If you’d ask any artist today to sing with music or auto tune, it would sound bad. But this guy man…. One of the best singers in existence.
