T Continues His Aerosmith Journey with Janie's Got A Gun

[@TheAdventuresofTNT]

Have you ever been to an Aerosmith concert ?feel free to share your story.

[@alanfeldstein9761]

Everyone who's cool has been to an Aerosmith concert. I've also seen Joe Perry Project a couple of times, including once at a bar, which led to an interesting conversation with Joe.

[@AmandaSmith-zr8mn]

I saw them in Las Vegas with Lenny kravitz! Unbelievable show!

[@jamestate5059]

Seen them on the Permanent Vacation tour. Was a senior in HS. White Lion opened. We went as a group of 4 and all got split up during the show. Was grooving with some girl just met at the show. As we were jamming out loving the show holding hands her boyfriend walks over and I pulled a Ronnie Van Zant and took my 3 steps and found another spot to watch the rest of the show

[@chadc1017]

I've seen Aerosmith in Sioux Falls SD in 1998... Simply one of the best concerts.. ever!!! This album came out in 1989.

[@barndude5562]

I'm so old - - I remember seeing Kiss open for Aerosmith! Please check out - Living on the Edge & What Kind of Love Are You On!

[@elizabethshow5105]

Dude, the look on your face when it finally hit you what this song was about, says it all…. And that’s why Aerosmith made this song. Steven Tyler opened a rescue house for sexually abused teens too. Thanks you for playing it!

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

💯!.

[@SweetPoison-r4i]

This song saved me. I was 16 when this song came out and I was dealing with this same situation at home. I told people for years and even my boyfriend called the cops and no one would believe me or him. Then one day I heard this song and I took things into my own hands. No, I didn't shoot anyone but I packed up a backpack full of clothing and left home at 16. It's sad when a 16-year-old feels safer living on the streets than at home.

[@Bunny99s]

That's great. As the song shows, using violence isn't really a solution as ending up in jail replaces one bad situation with another. It's a pitty that this happens way too often and that the punishments are most of the time way too light. People get behind bars for much longer when it's just about embezzlement. We really need to honor human life, dignity and well-being, especially of kids, higher than money. Especially since the dark figure is quite high. Hope you're doing fine. Greetings and best wishes from germany.

[@PriestessOfNothing]

Oh man, when this video came out MTV was in a tizzy. Because nobody had ever talked about this, not in mainstream, anyway. The subject was still taboo. But it's so powerful. And Steven Tyler started Janie's Fund for sexually abused girls that's still functioning today. There's so many great songs to choose from, but definitely Back In The Saddle and Sweet Emotion. My favorites are the more naughty ones like Love In An Elevator and Pink though lol

[@SLAYERFPS]

Kind of hypocritical I would say, given he groomed and impregnated a 16-year old girl, and then coerced her into getting an abortion.

[@BlackieNuff]

​@@SLAYERFPS That's Hollywood and the entertainment elites for you ; commit atrocities in private, while virtue signaling and "fighting" against it publicly. The truly disturbing thing is what you described is probably among the LEAST worst things those maniacs do to kids.

One of the best Aerosmith's songs (period). Musically, lyrically and melodically.

[@michaeltabor4176]

Steven Tyler partnered with Youth Villages to create Janie's Fund and Janie's House for girls who have suffered from abuse and neglect. Awesome song to raise awareness.

[@insufferablethrashelitist9305]

This predates law and order. This video was considered kind of groundbreaking because of its cinematic style that wan't done before in music videos. I'm sure it. set the stage for November rain, as aerosmith was extremely influential to gnr, in fact they opened for them right around this time. In the 70's they were so bluesy, but into the late 80's and 90's they were less bluesy and their musicianship was just top notch. So many great songs.

[@hanklutcavich2468]

Steven opened Janie Foundation for abused, and battered girls. This whole album, Pump, is fire. Love In An Elevator, and What It Takes. Awesome reaction brother.

[@timpwhit]

So many great songs in the 70's. Dream On, Sweet Emotion, Train Kept A' Rollin', Back in the Saddle, Walk This Way (original version), Same Old Song and Dance, and on and on.. They went for more commercial, pop-style ballads in the 80's and 90's, but in the 70's...they were a hard rock band to be reckoned with.

[@xdarockstar9241]

Living on the edge by Aerosmith

[@moleman1976]

"What it Takes" is one of my favorites from the band. Tyler's voice is phenomenal, and it's a great song!

[@dayshawn1115]

Yes it is.

[@dragonriders729]

The guitarist, Joe Perry, once said they received more letters from fans about this one song than all of the rest combined. Serious subject no one talks about. 🙏👍

[@Salemvet]

Aerosmith has such a range. This song was so important because people did not talk about this subject. But their other music “Love in an Elevator” even 90s classics like “Cryin’” and “Crazy” are so good.

[@chuckherthum8719]

I’m 60 yrs old, favorite band,yes start with older stuff, Nobody’s Fault, Back in the Saddle,No More No More,Sweet Emotion,Last Child,Lord of your Thighs, Toys in the Attic. Train kept a Rollin,Season of Wither,Mama Kin,Make It. This is what your looking for. Promise you will love it!

[@jennifercliett195]

SWEET EMOTION off of Toys in the Attic Album. Blasted this almost every morning getting ready for school.

[@mikeb3835]

"Same Old Song And Dance" and "Back In The Saddle" are a couple of older Aerosmith classics.

[@ExcessivePC]

You picked a couple great songs to get started with. One of my favorite is “Hangman Jury”. It leans toward the blues rock spectrum. It has some great Harmonica in it.

[@roxybryant6997]

They have a lot of great songs, Sweet Emotion, Crying, Crazy, Angel, I Don't Want To Miss A Thing, and you said you have already heard Walk This Way, but have you heard and reacted to the version with DMC? It's pretty cool 😎

[@johnstarace8369]

This is an amazing song and video tackling a subject that not too many artists took on. Steven Tyler started a charity for abused children when they released this song. When MTV first aired the video there was much controversy, but to MTV’s credit they kept playing the video on heavy rotation. This song came out on their Pumped album, what I consider the bands second life, after Joe Perry came back to the band a few albums earlier. Stay Cool 😎 and… \m/ Stay Metal \m/

[@phantomlord5707]

BACK IN THE SADDLE AND SWEET EMOTION 🔥🔥

[@barbaracollins385]

Sweet Emotion is my all time favorite. They have to play it at every live show.

[@MarcSmithCPISales]

"she said, 'cuz nobody believes me, the man was such a sleaze he, ain't ever gonna be the same'" and "Was her daddy's cradle robbin' made her scream at night?" Two of the most powerful lines.

Saw Aerosmith at the LA Forum in the late 80’s. Phenomenal.

[@jenniferfoster1692]

This is from their great 80s resurgence, and while I generally like their early stuff better, they still had some great 80s songs. This is one of my favorites.

[@karinmoreno4425]

Sweet Emotion & I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing !!!!!

[@samueljohns8797]

70's music is different in a great way. I think you would love "Rat's in the Cellar". It would be awesome to see you react to Aerosmith's 70's albums. A lot of the songs may not have videos but the music is great. Aerosmith, Toys in the Attic, Get your Wings, Rocks, Night in the Ruts, Draw the Line were all albums released in the 70's. There is also a "Live" Bootleg Album released in 78.

[@BlackieNuff]

It's not Aerosmith, but a transitional segue ; from Janie's Got A Gun to Billy's Got A Gun by Def Leppard - good, heavy, album-closing deep cut from their 1983 album, Pyromania (this would be worth doing a "full album reaction", start to finish, 1 or 2 songs per video, cos every song is incredible).

[@Nana_Reads]

Could probably still sing along to every song in the Pyromania album it played in the gym every lunch hour in my grade 12 year 😝

[@dancolon47]

Still one of my all-time favorite videos! I believe it was directed by David Fincher ... who directed lots of successful music videos before becoming a successful Hollywood director.

[@josephbradshaw4092]

Kings and Queens is a great song by them.

I glad that it covered this topic. It was good

[@RM-ks8pp]

Their old stuff on albums like Toys In The Attic , Get Your Wings and Rocks is better with more heart and soul in my humble opinion. Their newer stuff like this track is to commercial. Check out the tracks Round And Round , No More No More , Nobody's Fault , Last Child , Combination and many more..

DON'T WANNA MISS A THING!! GREAT, SONG FOR A DAD WHOSE DAUGHTERS WERE RAISED BY, TODD RUNDGREN. UNTIL, STEVEN EX, BOUGHT HIS DAUGHTERS TO A CONCERT, LIV TYLER, LORD OF THE RINGS FRAME!! WORD IS SHE KNEW IT WAS HER DAD, AT THAT SAID CONCERT!! HER MOM DIDN'T LIE AND SAID IT WAS!! GREAT STORY.

[@CCDzine]

Around 1999 there was a short-lived TV show set in high school and I recall an episode in which one kid was trying to defeat a bully but couldn't. He said about the bully "This guy's got more comebacks than Aerosmith." And they really did have several rebirths. I prefer the '70s stuff but I like the Permanent Vacation album, I think from 1989. My favorite from the album is Hangman Jury.

[@nickcrisp7252]

I always liked "Hangman Jury" from Aerosmith, but I'd settle for just about anything from the Permanent Vacation album.

For the record, Walk This Way was recorded by Aerosmith in 1975 by themselves. The 1986 version with Run-DMC was a remake.

[@edmundhenry5095]

I saw them twice before they hit the big time in the early '70s , once on a farm in Rhode Island and once in Boston!

[@Jacob-er5xb]

I can hear what you mean about the crime show vibe. This song and video came out in August 1989 and Law and Order--with its theme song written by the great Mike Post--premiered about a year later. Maybe he got the same vibe and was inspired.

[@TheAdventuresofTNT]

He definitely was inspired by this song.

[@jenniferfoster1692]

Sweet Emotion is one of their most iconic 70s songs, besides Dream On...a must listen

[@vickialbers8026]

[@pleutron]

Their Greatest Hits album Big Ones was wonderful. I have a favorite song of theirs every 5 years or so since Dream On. I really enjoyed 90s Aerosmith the most. 9 Lives has to be "one of" my favorite albums of any band.

One of best concerts I’ve went too was Aerosmith at the Hollywood Bowl and Kid Rock opened for them!! Amazing!!!

[@scottclark3761]

People don't remember how controversial this was. This stuff wasn't spoken of in those days. There was one hell of an uproar. It's a powerful song, and, at the time, ahead of its time. It pre dates Law and Order, but that was an interesting comparison. i wonder if the folks on the theme for the show were Aerosmith fans. But yeah, this was a story that could've been done on SVU, but by the time SVU came out, it wasn't as taboo a topic. In the Eighties when this came out...no one spoke of such things. In small towns, people kinda knew...but nothing was ever said. On male and female sides of things. The past is a different country.

[@continentalaquatics2725]

The actresses in in were great. Leslie Ann Warren played the Mother. Janie was played by actress Shawnee Smith. She was in a lot of 80’s movies like Summer School. You may recognize her from the “Saw” horror movie franchise, as she started taking more movies in the 2000’s. She also the front woman of her own rock band as well. 🍻

[@ericg2217]

Great Reaction. I love their older stuff because I grew up on it (born in 73) but I feel like I kinda grew up & transitioned through styles with them, lol. Legendary. Steve Tyler's voice is one of the best of all time in my book. Sweet Emotion, same Old Song & Dance, Come Together, Pink, Crazy, Angel, Love In An Elevator, Living On The Edge, Rag Doll....all good tunes. Jamie's Got A Gun isnt one of my favs - ditto what you said about a theme song for a TV show.

[@pjwiz5273]

Public awareness was possibly broached early 70s with Alice Cooper "Dead Babies", then, I next remember Pat Benatar's "Hell is for Children". Both were looked at with jaundiced eye. Many years apart, much occured in interim. Then Aerosmith and Janie kept coversation going. It was a subject in much need of exposure. Yes Aerosmith was/is awesome! Keep diggin. Worth the time.🤘👀

I saw them in the 90’s and was equally impressed. Would love to see them again. Glad you like them 😎

[@Mr.Ekshin]

Back in the Saddle... Tyler at his finest. You'll see the reason they called him the "Demon of Screamin".

[@michaelhungate7506]

I'd suggest a few from Rock In A Hard Place. If you really want to know the full "story "about AS this is certainly part of the history of the band. A fun jamming tune, Bolivian Raggamuffin, Bitches Brew, and Jailbait. A couple of different guys on this album and I think it has been better received with age. Good tunes on the whole album. As far as Janies Got A Gun goes, yeah its a very deep song and says alot. If it weren't so perfectly performed, and catchy, you may not pay attention to the lyrics. It's always been one of my favorites.

There are 2 phases of Aerosmith. The ‘70s era, then everything else. The ‘70s stuff is the best by far. Check out ‘S.O.S.(Too Bad), ‘Nobody’s Fault’, ‘Rats In The Cellar’, ‘Toys In The Attic’. Best album is ‘Rocks’. This stuff will blow you away.

So I was born in 82. When I was like 8 my brother in law gave me my first Aerosmith tape, it was the album that this song is off of. This album also has hits like live in an elevator, what it takes, you should check out the original walk this way, also; uncle salty, Adam’s apple, sweet emotion, round and round, back in the saddle, nobody’s fault, home tonight, dude looks like a lady, hang mans jory, angel, come together, I don’t wanna miss a thing, hole in my soul, ain’t that a bitch, kiss your past goodbye, pink, fly away from here, never loved a girl, same old song and dance, spaced, train kept a rollin, seasons of wither, fever, shut up and dance, amazing, crazy, cryin, the other side, livin on the edge, kings and queens, she’s on fire, darkness, walk in water, rag doll, blind man, deuces are wild, eat the rich, last child, make it, one way street, mama kin, somebody, writing a letter, movin out, walk-in the dog, this is a list that are my faves. And it’s not even half their songs. They have 15 studio albums. Steven Tyler also has a couple of amazing pair ups too, he has a song with pink called misery, one with Santana called just feel better, one with Chris botti called smile, and one with bob Marley called roots rock( this one was done after Marley was gone, Steven just added on vocals to the track)
