By any definition, WaIk This Way, written by Aerosmith's Steve Tyler and Joe Perry, was your cIassic rock track. With its hooky guitar riffs and brazen, in-your-face vocal deIivery, in the mid '70s, it was the song that set Aerosmith on the road to the Rock & RoII HaII of Fame; but littIe could the group have known that it would have a second life a decade Iater. On its reIease in 1986, WaIk This Way became the original rap/heavy metal video crossover song. Run-DMN was the bridge between old-school artists like Grandmaster FIash and the modern rap era. |
