TALK ABOUT BUILDING DRAMA! 👀 First Time Hearing Aerosmith - Janie's Got A Gun Reaction!

[@jessicaleblanc-nh1yl]

Steven Tyler actually started a fundraising campaign named: Janies Fund. It helps and assists mostly young girls & women to get guidance, care & rehabilitation once they have been through something like this. This song became an anthem for so many. Thank you for your reaction.

Janie's Angels

[@Brandi6666]

And steven prob ahem, “met them all”😂😂😂😂

[@benjamansharer7969]

I'm 1000% behind for organizations that help young girls and women to get help, resources, etc...after the trauma of s*xual assaults spirals them downwards,but........ why do we not talk about the boys and young men who have been through the same experience? I see around me all the places and resources for women and girls, but the stories of the boys and young men stays pushed to the back. I was SA'd for two years between the ages of 9 -11 by the hands of 5 different men, all friends with each other. Police wouldn't do nothing because two of them were cops. Three different therapists couldn't help me because they didn't have the experience of treating boys/men who were assaulted. The stigma of men having to keep these things buried has got to end!!

[@Brandi6666]

@ they need to man up😡

[@Rob-eo5ql]

The line: “He jacked a little bitty baby” The record company wouldn’t let Steven Tyler say “r@ped” because they said radio stations wouldn’t play it. So he changed it to “jacked”. What a song. This was off their 1989 album PUMP. Imma HUGE 1970s Aerosmith fan but I gotta say PUMP is probably my all time favorite Aerosmith album. They put various out takes of jam sessions in between each song and the album just flows. One song flows into the next.

[@firefighterchick]

A radio edit also has him say, "she left him in the pouring rain". Instead of "she put a bullet in his brain."

[@firefighterchick]

Steven Tyler said he was also influenced to write this his time in a drug rehab center. He was shocked about how many women he spoke to began their addiction journey as a way to cope with being s*xually assaulted by their fathers or a close family member. He helped build two Janie's Houses with a fund that helps women and girls on the path to healing. I've never seen anyone comment on a specific section of the video. After she shoo*s him she is on the floor arranging the broken objects into the word LOST. Such a heartbreaking reality for too many.

[@David-s6e4q]

This song came out when I was about 14 or so. It is still to this day my favorite Aerosmith song. It grows and grows on you.

[@Hp411hp]

One of my favorite Aerosmith songs.

[@darrenshanahan1777]

From the album PUMP which is in my top 10 albums of all time! Can listen to that album all day long!

[@porkypile]

The piano and strings are very prominent in this track, but it works so well together. One of their best tracks imo.

[@Deborahtunes]

Unfortunately this type of situation really does happen. There was a case in upstate New York back in the 1980's where a father was treating his teenage daughter as a wife, in every aspect. She finally had enough, being afraid he would start in on her younger sister. Which led to her having a contract put out on him. She spent some time in prison, but not a lot...

[@richardingles2011]

This video included actress Leslie Ann Warren. Another cool video to check out is "Amazing" from the early 90's. It includes actress Alicia Silverstone and some virtual reality.

[@CineRam]

Leslie Ann Warren was also in "Clue" as Miss Scarlett.

[@SunShine-qk4rb]

Excellent song.such an important subject to be singing about.Its very nostalgic for me.Takes me back to when I was really young

[@garrymoore2161]

"What did her Daddy do?" What did her Mommy do!??! The scene where Daddy comes in late and goes to his daughter's bedroom door, looks down the hall and makes eye contact with his wife is powerful. She says nothing and does nothing to stop him!

[@mayLibertyprevail1a]

So many women are complicit in the abuse of their daughters (or sons) by their husbands/boyfriends, burying their heads in the sand for whatever reason. I can't imagine standing by and allowing something like that to happen to my child! 😢

[@gigi-ij1hk]

My favorite Aerosmith track and one of my fave videos of all time. Was in high school when this came out and was interested in filmmaking so this vid blew my mind with the way it's able to juggle multiple POVs and timelines. When I took a Film & Video elective I brought this in to share (yes, I recorded it to VHS) as an example of excellent short-form storytelling; I don't think my classmates were that convinced, but ovbiously I was on to something: the director, David Fincher, has gone on to make numerous award winning films like SEVEN, FIGHT CLUB and THE SOCIAL NETWORK. (At the 1990 MTV VMAs, three of the four nominees for Best Video of the Year were directed by Fincher...ironically, the fourth one won)

[@CineRam]

I love Fincher. His videos for "Vogue" "Straight Up" and "Suit & Tie" are some of my favorites.

[@RickNeilsen-v2g]

Steven And Mick Jagger. Biggest Lips In Rock Music. I Was A Young Kid Never A Fan Except 1 Album I Bought. "Permanent Vacation" Joe Perry Is A GREAT Guitarist

[@RossanoMacchioni-gm4mg]

Beautiful song and country solo and lyrics. Reflects Tyler sensitivity of social Issues .

[@kimberleyann7702]

Bright spot of video Joe Perry looking fine, when Steven sings "run away from the pain" I get a lump in my throat.

[@MetalFriscoDude79]

I absolutely ❤ Aerosmith. They're in my top 3 favorite bands of all time

[@jimfreeman2640]

Their 70's era was awesome and was never a big fan of their MTV era stuff, but this tune is top tier...

[@megdelaney3677]

Please react to official videos -1.Soul Asylum -Runaway Train 2.Pearl Jam -Jeremy 3.Pat Benatar-Hell is for Children 4.Suzanne Vega -Luka 5.P.O.D. -Youth of the Nation 6.Skid Row -18 and Life

[@mikeadair3341]

What a powerful song. Musically and with the story. Pat Benetar's Hell is for Children is well done as well.

[@Renkk17]

You have to hear all the older Aeromith songs/albums first!! Check out 70's!!! - Chip Away at the Stone - Mama Kin - Last Child - Back in the Saddle - Remember - Walk this Way - Toys in the Attic - Kings and Queens

[@Lothian55]

Great suggestions. Hope you don't mind if I add Seasons of Wither, because nobody ever does it.

[@stevenseul361]

Hello Phil and Sam ❤I saw Aerosmith 3 times once dead center around 5th row.. Amazing. I prefer their older music but many bands including Aerosmith had revitalized their music in the 80's and 90's. I like all Aerosmith... But when I listen to their album "Rocks" I'm in heaven.

[@rickyjustin5846]

Steven is such a nice guy he had made fun of himself in various occasions. Check the video for ''Falling in Love (Is Hard on the Knees)'' and listen to the lyrics. He also said once people used to compare him with Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones when he was younger and he was thankful for he is one of his music heroes.

[@heidibrown342]

For their absolute best softer song check out ANGEL.

[@CoreyWickramasekera]

I used to LOVE this album and AEROSMITH, they are the reason I stopped listening to the Radio and watching MTV so much, because when MTV still played music videos, they were in HEAVY ROTATION, along with the RADIO STATIONS

[@3DJapan]

Speaking of Soul Asylum... You should check out some of their other songs like "Misery" and "Somebody to Shove".

[@bobschenkel7921]

Easily one of the most impactful videos from the MTV era. Aerosmith was my first concert back in 1975, and I saw them about ten more times through 2001, and they just kept getting better with their playing and singing, but some of the ballads in the 90's were a little bit cheezy. Their first 4 1/2 albums were awesome, then they had some issues, but got it back together in the mid-80's. So sorry they had to hang it up, due to Steve's vocal problems, but hey, they were in their 70's, they had a pretty damn good run.

[@johnwoodworth9127]

One of the radio edits had "Left him in the pouring rain' rather then 'put a bullet in his brain'

[@kimzwolinski9919]

Thanks Robert!!! Dark subject matter and my favorite. Great reaction as always 😊 Yep, Steven Tyler and Mick Jagger have the biggest mouths in rock music 😂

[@Gr8Buccaneer]

steven once answered to this with: who is mick jagger? 😆

[@rayrussell7182]

the guy who plays the father in this video is Nicholas Guest, he also did the voice of John Teller in sons of anarchy

[@sasapetroski981]

Love this song, have recorded on vcr casette 😊😊😊

[@drjag1155]

This song is fantastic. The vocals are incredible and the lyrics so sad...

[@jgsrhythm100]

Similar theme Uncle Salty-(75) I suggest further exploring 70's A-Smith before jumping into late 80's. Haven't even scratched the surface.

[@RickNeilsen-v2g]

IM GLAD THEY REALISED HEY...." WE ARE TOO OLD" WE ARE RETIRING...... NO OTHER BAND AT 70 YEARS OLD WILL RETIRE FOR AWHILE. 😷😷😷😷🤒🤒🤒🤒

[@sirmister4411]

He got what he deserved plain and simple !!

[@joannamomot-shulman5195]

Similar topic Uncle Salty (1975) brilliant track!! I suggest sticking with 70's for a while first. Have't even. scratched the surface.

[@garymccandless465]

They were great live.

[@Justaperson717]

David Fincher directed this video.

[@pompanomark2024]

Masterpiece

[@beckiramsey9561]

So beautiful!❤

[@stlouiscomics]

Classic David Fincher directed video!

[@victoriakellogg4973]

Y’all should react to dream on by aerosmith

[@leeyaferguson9019]

I love this song. 😪💔

[@lookingforthebigguyricklas5503]

Great job

[@davidrichmond1974]

Powerful!

[@donaldbrunner6250]

Pat Benatar song "Hell is for Children" is also on the same subject.

[@texadan314]

I had forgotten this one. Thanks.

[@kristinabushnell3652]

Fun Fact: This song was originally titled Tommy's Got A Gun and they changed it to Janie at the last minute. Think about that one. Great reaction!! 😊

[@Mup504]

I like the remix as well. Janie briggs got a gun

[@Tackleboxandfishingpoles]

That is the only way to stop the SIN of incest, Especially when other people KNOW that it is happening, BUT CHOOSE to NOT help the VICTIM(S) of incest AND/OR stay silent and allow it to happen/continue.

[@dalesands1857]

Pat Benatar also has a song close to this subject: Hell Is For Children.

[@BgbadWulof]

In my high school days we all were asking what would a the child look like between Steven Tyler with his BIG mouth and Mick Jagger with his BIG lips.

[@Trifler500]

I've never seen the video for this one before.

[@chrisjamieson3452]

Easily a. Top 5 Aerosmith strong contender for best

[@charleswilliams6236]

This song iDerp it's very great

[@jamesvomsaal]

Great reaction

[@roadkill7314]

For another great take on this problem react to Pat Benetar's Hell Is For Children.

[@dunbarf2413]

"Big Mouth" 🤣😂Steven Tyler's famous daughter is Liv Tyler ..she played Arwen in Lord of the Rings.

[@gingers.5933]

Liv Tyler, probably just a typo.

[@d-pinnit77]

Janey’s got a gun. Janey Brigg’s got a gun

[@markroberts1283]

These are not the original lyrics. The record company insisted on changes. They perform the song live with the original lyrics.

[@rickmts]

From Tyler’s vocals in this alone, you know why his vocal cords are shot today, to the point he can no longer perform.

[@RobertColyer-co1nu]

Chris Stapleton "Fire away" His only video.

[@BlackieNuff]

I've seen that soundscape at the very beginning (which only lasts a few seconds) listed as a track unto itself, called "Water Song". I personally don't get it, and while I do keep it attached as an intro to the song, I do not credit it in my own indexing, simply for being a brief soundscape. Maybe an Aerofan can explain what that's about? Why is that strange sound called "Water Song" and why is it a "track"?

[@herqimerfudwaddle9502]

This is the best song ever made to get you motivated in the morning! I Got the Music in Me, by Kiki Dee ON YT)

[@farmdog93]

Awesome video and reaction, love the channel, you guys should check out the band confederate railroad and there song daddy was never the Cadillac kind, one of the more under rated country bands, happy holidays

[@ALLCapsKen]

maybe a LITTLE more enthusiasm for what a great song this is? ... not to be too critical, but this felt like a very muted reaction for such a powerful song.

[@Sanjiv_Kolkata]

Can you react on ‘Love In The Elevator’ too?

[@MarcEdmunds-n4g]

Have you seen Mick Jaggers mouth?

[@infosecjeff]

The vocals are outstanding on this one. Take a listen to "Back in the Saddle Again" - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJWumKqdird7oJo. Of course the studio version sounds much better, but the on stage performance is worth watching.

[@rundbaum]

omg, that 'scary' sound clip @ the beginning of this vid is ripped straight from the soundtrack to the movie, 'the hunger!' how weird. i'd actually never seen this video before. that soundpiece was a snippet straight from 'the hunger,' which is one of the weirdest movies ever it's a good one to watch . . .

[@SIXX2772]

Sam looks fresh and Phil looks tired. lol

[@michaelbradley6004]

Steven Tyler and Carly Simon have massive mouths. As did many of greats. There must be a corillation.

[@boqndimitrov8693]

that's why rock dinosaurs are a hundred times better than today's little lizards! ❤

[@billallen1307]

Free the Menendez boys!?

[@lontollison6771]

Uh did somebody change thebackground

[@TheSmittenman]

What happened to all the charges against Stephen Tyler for doing this himself to a young fan?

[@greenbeech3055]

The irony of this song is that Steven Tyler had a relationship with a high school when he was like 30 years old. He even "adopted"her so she could travel with him on tour.

[@jgsrhythm100]

I suggest reacting to audio only. The video is a distraction.

[@tjaartvanderwalt5864]

Mick Jagger might just have a bigger mouth.

[@lookingforthebigguyricklas5503]

Great job 👍

[@jackdubz4247]

The comedy Not Another Teen Movie kind of ruined this song for me.
