That Fat Boys Wipe Out thing was bonkers because Wipe Out was not even a Beach Boys song.

I remember when this video first came out. Mixing genres of music was mostly unheard of at the time so it raised a few eyebrows. When it did hit the waves, it had a whole new sound and broke a few barriers at the same time. Good job, Run DMC and Aerosmith.

I'm a rocker and because of this song...Run DMC was my first concert. 1988.

@@Vaisin Sure, but not as big as THE ROLLING STONES! The Stones started out pretty much when The Beatles did (early 60s) and had hits all through the 60s, 70s, and part of the 80s. Also, I remember reading an article about the movie, "This is Spinal Tap," and Aerosmith was pretty sure that Rob Reiner based Spinal Tap on THEM (Spinal Tap even sits in front of a record store vainly trying to promote albums with mirrored covers to no one at all; have you ever seen the Aerosmith's "Done With Mirrors" album/CD?), so compared to Zeppelin, the Stones, etc., yeah, I can see how even people not in the music industry could think of Aerosmith as derivative.

Ehhh I guess that is up too who is listening and what your preference is… the one with DMC was basically the exact same as the original except they added a bass beat too it

I remember DMC being the laid back quiet guy of the group who was always just chilling, kinda like a man of few words. But we you see him today, on tv or KZread doing interviews this man speaks with so much fire and passion that you can't help but respect him.

Run DMC / Aerosmith collaboration helped shape 90's alternative rock. Listen to Sneaker Pimps, Garbage, Stone Temple Pilots etc, they all use hip hop beats. Even industrial rock / industrial dance samples hip hop.

The video with walls breaking was pure genius and poetic

I remember hearing this here in Australia for the first time and playing it for my friends. It was all over the radio and within weeks every second person was wearing the iconic RUN DMC t shirt in black. Such a legendary song and 2 legendary bands.

I'll never forget seeing that video for the first time! It was HUGE!!!

This version with DMC is one of my favourite songs ever, and I'm coming from the rock-end of the music spectrum. Those DMC boys totally made this, and the official video was fantastic.

As good as the combination of groups was, the video was even better, and it resurrected Aerosmith's career!

I could watch this all day. Absolute legend. "Oh HELL NO! This is country bumpkin mountain-climbin' hillbilly jibberish!" "Oh shit, Rick went and got The Rolling Stones." Blahahahaha!

Of course Rick Rubin was behind it. Bloody genius

One of the best duets EVER. MAYBE the greatest!!!

I need to say this to DMC.. since i've heard this Song for the first time as a young Teenager i love it.. and i still got this on my actual Playlist with my nearly 50 Years of living ;) definetly one of my all time Favorites ;)

part of the soundtrack of my childhood. will always have love for this track, Run-DMC and Aerosmith, together and separately. Love their catalogs. Shout outs to Russell and Rick Rubin too. Aerosmith concerts, Run DMC shows, anything Rick Rubin touches.......i gotta check out. Rick Rubin got involved with a Santana project not too long ago and i immediately got invested. And i always revert my brain back to my childhood. and tracks like this. Feel good joints. and one for the ages.

This clip just had me grinning from ear to ear all the way through. Such a great song, such a great story.

It's a blessing that D got his voice back. One of the iconic voices and flows in the Culture...

Always thought that was THE coolest single of the 80s

So glad I watched this interview. DMC is so positive....love it.

The only hip hop group/artist to have performed at the original Live Aid concert.

This interviewer got his money's worth, that's for sure. What a story! DMC truly is a passionate individual and his music will live forever.

I recalled there were people that were my dad's age (30s) that hated the song. But us kids below the age of 10 in my hometown absolutely loved it.

I'm totally up for more rappers to appear on loudwire every once in a while. It's a nice change from the norm.

For me, the greatest song ever! Changed my world.

Dope azz interview!! DMC is a very dope humble Legend!! ✊🏽

Crossover between Rock and Rap. History in the making.

Priceless

Awesome to hear that story. I’m 19 and my dad showed me the Run-DMC version of the song a few years back. Never liked the original after that. Nobody does it better than these guys

I love this

Love the collab, the music video was EPIC🔥🔥🔥🔥

DMC is such a good storyteller 👌

As an old guy who loves classic rock, I always preferred the Run DMC version. The guitar part and Steve's vocals were much more dynamic. The rap part was cool, too.

Thank you Sirs.

This is FUNNY! at the time (I'm 54) when I first heard it I was hard core the 20%! Lol It took a few years but it introduced me to Baby Face, Luther and as it turns out one of the most pivotal creations I experienced in my life that GREATLY lead me to becoming not only cultured but not prejudiced even after being brought up in the 60s and seventies.
