#80445 — Aerosmith Ft Run Dmc Walk This Way Free Mp3 Download

When the group was halfway through recording Toys in the Attic in early 1975 at Record Plant in New York City, they found themselves stuck for material. They had written three or four songs for the album, having "to write the rest in the studio." They decided to give the song Perry had come up with in Hawaii a try, but it did not have lyrics or a title yet. Deciding to take a break from recording, band members and producer Jack Douglas went down to Times Square to see Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein. Returning to the studio, they were laughing about Marty Feldman telling Gene Wilder to follow him in the film, saying "walk this way" and limping.[4] Douglas suggested this as a title for their song.[6][7] But they still needed lyrics.


Live in concert, Tyler often has the audience, combined with members of the band, sing "talk this way". There is also a lengthy guitar solo at the end of the song, and in concert, Tyler will often harmonize his voice to mimic the sounds of the guitar.

"Walk This Way" was one of two hit singles by the band to hit the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 in the 1970s, the other one being a re-release of "Dream On". "Walk This Way", though, helped Toys in the Attic to be the bestselling Aerosmith album, and one of the most critically acclaimed. Aerosmith's version of "Walk This Way" often competes with "Sweet Emotion" and "Dream On" for the title of Aerosmith's signature song, being one of the band's most important, influential, and recognizable songs. The band rarely omits it from their concert setlist, still performing their classic version of the song to this day. The song has also long been a staple of rock radio, garnering regular airplay on mainstream rock, classic rock, and album-oriented rock radio stations. In 2009, it was named the eighth greatest hard rock song of all time by VH1.[21]


In 1986, the hip hop group Run-DMC covered "Walk This Way", in collaboration with Aerosmith (with its leaders Steven Tyler and Joe Perry on vocals and guitars, respectively). While working on Raising Hell, Rick Rubin pulled out Toys in the Attic. At shows, Run-DMC had freestyled over the first few seconds of the song on a loop, not knowing what the full song sounded like, or even hearing the lyrics. While Joseph Simmons and Darryl McDaniels had no idea who Aerosmith were at that time, Rubin suggested remaking the song. Neither Simmons nor McDaniels liked the idea, though Jam Master Jay was open to it. They didn't want the record to be released as a single even after recording with Tyler and Perry, and were shocked when it was played on both urban and rock radio stations.[25] "I never even thought 'Walk This Way' would be a single," Rubin recalled. "Not that I didn't like it, but I didn't think in those terms."[26] DMC called it "a beautiful thing" in a trailer for Guitar Hero (this later appeared in a scene from the 2011 film The Smurfs). This version of "Walk This Way" charted higher on the Billboard Hot 100 than the original, peaking at number 4, becoming Run-DMC's biggest hit. It was also the first hip hop single to reach the top five on the Billboard charts, as well as one of the first big hip hop singles in the UK, peaking at number 8.


The chorus of Run-DMC's cover contains a pitch alternation that Aerosmith adopted in most future live performances. In collaborations, the other singer often says "talk this way" every alternate line of the chorus. This rap-style delivery may explain why the song worked so well as a hip hop song when it was covered eleven years later.[29]


The guitar that Perry is playing is a Guild X-100 Bladerunner. The Guild X100 Bladerunner was originally developed and patented by David Newell and Andrew Desrosiers of David Andrew Guitars. The patent was licensed to Guild Guitars for 17 years and entered the public domain in 2006. During initial manufacture, Newell and Desrosiers worked directly with Guild craftsman to develop the final product. The guitar used in this video was one of these early issues.


While the Run-D.M.C. cover is nearly identical to the original version, the Girls Aloud/Sugababes version has a few changes tweaked into the song; the additional line "Walk this way, you wanna talk this way" is added, the vocoder is added, the lyrics are moved around, and the beat is slightly sped up and realized on a drum machine to add a further dance-pop feel to the song.


What I end up doing this I use my middle finger on 10th fret A string, and this allows me to pinky away the 12th and 13th fret. But this feels inauthentic to how the song is suppose to be played and I feel like the original way should be possible.






Aerosmith may be a rock band, but there is no doubt in my mind that this is a rap. A very clever and well written rap (as opposed to perhaps 50Cent or Eminem), but a rap nonetheless. I don't agree with anybody who says this is the best Aerosmith song, and certainly not by far. It is an amazing song, and is certainly a classic... and yes it probably is the most popular Aerosmith song (besides "Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" perhaps... but in my books, if Tyler didn't write it, it isn't Aerosmith.) but to me it just isn't classic Aerosmith.


 diseased_and_amused At first, I didn't believe this, as I thought that Walk This Way was written before the release of Young Frankenstein. However, after some research, I found that it's true! Young Frankenstein" was released on December 15, 1974, and this song was written in early 1975 and released as a single on August 28, 1975.



From Wikipedia: "Deciding to take a break from recording, band members and producer Jack Douglas went down to Times Square to see Mel Brooks' "Young Frankenstein". Returning to the studio, they were laughing about Marty Feldman telling Gene Wilder to follow him in the film, saying "walk this way" and limping. Douglas suggested this as a title for their song."


The "Young Frankenstein" story is probably apocryphal, especially since the joke, "Walk this way" - - "If I could walk that way I wouldn't need the talcum powder" - - has been around for decades prior to both the song and the film. According to SongFacts.com: "(Steven) Tyler, however, tells a different story regarding the inspiration for the title . . . "The song title evolved from watching The Three Stooges on TV. They walked this way and that." Not sure what that meant; possibly, the "Slowly I Turned" sketch from their "Niagara Falls" episode?


I must admit I was agry at Aerosmith for many years for the rap version of this song. If Leonardo DaVinci defaced the Mona Lisa, he would still be arrested for vandalism if it is no longer his painting. Never mind that he created the artwork. WTW is not different. Recently a friend in the industry explained to me that the rap version was critical to Aerosmith's relaunch in the 1980's, so I have softened my stance.


This song is about the sexual awakening of a young man. He is very excited about "getting to third base," as walking in this context is about fingering a girl with two digits. Of course going down on a muffin doesn't need nearllly as much explanation.


 mirgang You probably hit the best description of this song yet. I saw Aerosmith play at Westboro Speedway in Mass. in '74 when I was a freshman in HS, I Loved them. Got stoned everyday listening to their albums after school.


This song is awesome, but I am a fanatic of Aerosmith and so I don't visualize it as their best. But the phrase "walk this way" means, when a guy fingers a girl but with 2 fingers, and while he is fingering her, his fingers are in a walking motion. SWEAR TO GOD. I found it out in their autobiography.


I'm trying to do harmonic analysis of "Walk this Way" by Aerosmith. Verses and choruses uses I to IV progression, but I wonder about the riff in the bridge. It seem to be played in the E key. Joe Perry, the guitarist and composer, said:


Note that a key can't be the V of anything, only a chord could be the V. But we don't have an E major chord here, we have a (blues) "riff" in E, and another riff in C. The song moves between these two riffs and none of the classical modulation techniques is applied. If you want to give a name to what's happening, I would suggest unprepared modulation, which is just moving from one key to the next, without using any device to prepare this key change.


An E chord COULD be used as the dominant of the relative minor. But in this case I think he's just shifted the tonal centre up a third as a contrast, because it sounds good- after all, that's what he SAID he's done! There's nothing wrong in you saying so too. It WOULD be wrong to invent a connection with a relative minor that never actually arrives.


Steven, Joey, Tom [Hamilton], Brad [Whitford] and [producer] Jack [Douglas] went down to Times Square to see Mel Brooks' "Young Frankenstein," which was in theaters then. I had already seen it, so I stayed behind and hung out on the roof. When the guys returned, they were throwing lines back and forth from the film. They were laughing about Marty Feldman greeting Gene Wilder at the door of the castle and telling him to follow him. "Walk this way," he says, limping, giving his stick to Wilder so he can walk that way, too. While all this was going on, Jack stopped and said, "Hey, 'walk this way' might be a great title for the song." We agreed. But we still needed lyrics.


"Steven mostly sang along with the band for the basic tracks, and he was often miked with an 87 and set up with speakers; maybe a couple of Yamaha NS10s, although I'm not a hundred percent sure about that. A trick I learned from doing jingles was to put the speakers out of phase while the mic was at the cancellation point of those two speakers, and this allowed to Steven to sing without using headphones and, therefore, with a little more energy and the vibe of being with the band. In fact, in many cases we'd use the Sennheiser 405 on him because, since it had a lot of edge and was very directional, it was very conducive to that technique of using speakers that were out of phase.
