Yep and it almost never got finished. Aerosmith had the music, but no lyrics. All the other songs on the album were finished. So they took a walk around NYC trying to find some inspiration. Ended up going into a movie theater playing "young frankenstein". After watching the movie the head back to the studio. The engineer starts goofing around and does the "walk this way" line from the movie. After goofing around for a bit Steven Tyler says he has it. Runs off and writes the lyrics. The rest is history, but imagine if they hadn't walked into that theater.

I felt you way too hard on being a fan of rock and rap. My first cassette was a mix of rap singles, with the first song being Basketball by Kurtis Blow. In kindergarten there was a lady named Tiffany who was the defintion of 80's... she wore a jean jacket, had the bangs parted in the middle, smoked marlboro reds, and also played Bon Jovi for me and my friend Danny on the playground. Growing up it was a weird time, especially in high school when I had music by punk bands, hardcore bands, rock bands, metal bands, rap groups on top of being raised on a healthy diet of Motown and the Oldies. Confusing times for sure but I'm glad music has collectively matured to look past all the BS genres and labels. Now when people ask me "what type of music" I listen to, I reply with: anything that has heart, soul and balls.

I listened to Bon Jovi, Naughty By Nature, Guns N' Roses, Public Enemy, Metallica, N.W.A., Pantera... all while ingesting heroic doses of Oldies and Motown that my mom loved to listen to when I was growing up. I'm glad we all became more accepting of what made us different versus what kept us apart... at least musically. Other parts of our culture unfortunately still have a ways to go before it catches up.

I remember this... this was a watershed moment where 2 cultures (rap and heavy metal) met across the fence and had a party. It was truly a "wall breaking moment" for all of us back then fun fact... walk this way was originally a hit in 1975, and credit to RunDMC as this resurrected this song and introduced Aerosmith to a whole new generation and cross-culture

One of the best collaborations of ALL time...

I remember very well when this was released. Played it from the record quite a lot and LOUD. Still one of the top 50 tunes of all time.

Oh yasss!! I've been waiting on you to do this video!! ❤️❤️

Best reactions. At a time when people are depressed or angry about being devided as a nation, well this makes us s little better... Thanks man

This was one of the first cross overs of Rap and Rock. I remember when this came out. It was, and still is, an epic moment in music history.

Can't believe at 26 this is the first time. This is classic and timeless. Glad you enjoyed it.

You have no idea how epic this was when it was new. The story goes that Run DMC had no idea who Aerosmith was. When they arrived at the studio they saw Steven Tyler and the members of Aerosmith and said, "Aww shit! It's the Rolling Stones"!

@@noth1ng5id I think I saw the same thing! I also remember them saying that Steven busting through the wall was symbolic to breaking down the barriers that had separated the cultures.

I'm a new subscriber, a grandma, and I love your channel Shaq! Your reactions to all of this great music are priceless! Thanks for bringing my era back!

I remember when this song first came out. EVERYBODY loved it. Seeing headbangers and hip-hop fans rocking together was awesome. It started something new and amazing in the world of music.

My Mother was 76 and dying with cancer. I was taking care of her at my home. I told her that Aerosmith was doing a live concert at 9 that night. When they came on she told me to turn up the volume. She and I were rocking out, I was 51 at the time. My Grandson was in the den with some friends and they came running to see what we were doing. Freaked them out that we were Rock lovers. Lol I'll never forget that night. We made lots of memories like that before she died.

Shaq needs to do more Aerosmith love watching him react to Steven Tyler’s amazing voice and joe Perry’s great guitar skills

Oh my god, I remember watching this for the first time on MTV when it actually was just a video channel and being completely lost to find the video again. No internet but watching countless hours of MTV just to see it again. LOL Completely shook and changed my life in music forever.

This is what we need now. Real niggas being real. Black and white talking the same language. Music. Bro I wish we could have this now.

I am so glad you watched this video. This is Classic right here.

This was so important where both genres came together and showed merits of both styles. Run DMC was already using rock riffs before this. It was a natural progression for me as a kid.

Bless up to Rick Rubin who was a true visionary doing his thing from behind the scenes. I don't think people fully understand the impact he had on our music and culture.

Watching Steve Tyler hugging DMC in 2020 during the Corona Virus makes you think “Woah!”

Walk this way was originally an Aerosmith track, I was 16 when it was re-released as the collaboration with the Run Boys! I still have it on 7’ single vinyl! 🇬🇧🇬🇧

Yo Shaq !!! Aerosmith is legendary !!! Thanks for all you do, dats tuff !!! Prayers for your Grandad !!! Keep on being you !!!

Charlie Valens I was just gonna say, are we just going to ignore the fact Shaq has a Dunder Mifflin Paper Company shirt on? Legendary.

They actually had so much for each other it was awesome. I loved both as well.

I think this was one of the eye-opening moments in music history (not to go into the Beastie Boys) that sort of opened us up to the fact that rock and rap are not too far removed from one another. This gave rise to great rap-rock and nu-metal bands such as P.O.D., Rage Against The Machine, Anthrax and countless others.... even the Black-Eyed Peas (although the mainstream always focused more on their more pop style stuff), but "Anxiety's" dark melodies, rock driven beat and guitar was certainly a creative style of theirs that got so overlooked.

Friiiick!!! I remember when this video debuted on MTV. Revolutionary music partnership 💖

AEROSMITH BEST AMERICAN ROCK& LIVE BAND, & STILL GOING💯🎇

React to public enemy and anthrax.

Yeah Coach! Bring the noise by Public Enemy and Anthrax. Solid heavy metal / rap crossover.

I love the symbolism of Steven Tyler breaking the wall with his mic stand. Shows that they broke the wall between rock and rap.

One of my favorite collabs this still cracks me up when Tyler comes through the wall hahaha

MY DUDE HAS A DUNDER MIFFLIN SHIRT ON!!! Love this channel bro💪😎

Hands down BEST MTV VMA performance EVER!!! 9/9/99 Kid Rock/Aerosmith/Run DMC!

One of the greatest collaborations of all time period.

Awesome as always. Loved this in high school. Thanks for bringing it back!

There’s nothing else in the world that can bring people together like music! No matter the age, sex, race or region you live in the world music can bridge all gaps and bring people together. Music can also become a time machine. You hear a song from your youth and there you are; a kid again. There are songs that brought us through tough times and songs that we played in celebration that if we play right now will take us right back to that time and that feeling we had when we heard it. I really enjoy watching you young folks hear the music we grew up on for the first time. You have the same reactions we had when these songs were first released on the radio. Keep on listening my friend there’s much, much more out there! New subscriber!
