Song information

The song starts out with the famous two measure drum beat intro by Joey Kramer, followed up the equally famous guitar riff by Joe Perry. Joseph Michael "Joey" Kramer (born June 21, 1950 in The Bronx, New York City, United States) is the Drummer The song then goes into the verse, with a steady drum beat and bassline by Tom Hamilton forming as the backbeat, with dueling guitars by Joe Perry and Brad Whitford. Thomas William Hamilton (born December 31, 1951, in Colorado Springs, Colorado) is an American musician best known as the Brad Whitford (born Bradley Ernest Whitford 23 February 1952, in Winchester Massachusetts, is the rhythm and lead Guitarist for The lyrics, which tell the story of a high school boy losing his virginity, are sung quite fast by Steven Tyler, with heavy emphasis being placed on the rhyming lyrics (i. e. "so I took a big chance at the high school dance"). This rap-style delivery -- which may explain why the song worked so well as a rap song when it was re-made 11 years later -- was ahead of its time. Between the elaborately detailed verses, the chorus primarily consists of a repetition of "Walk this way, talk this way". In collaborations, the other singer often says "talk this way" every alternate line of the chorus. Live in concert, Steven 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, Steven Tyler will often harmonize his voice to mimic the sounds of the guitar. In the Run-D.M.C. cover, the turntable is added in to reflect the additional hip hop influence on the record. Run-DMC was a pioneering hip hop group during the 1980s founded by Joseph "[The Reverend] Run" Simmons, Darryl "D The phonograph, or gramophone, was the most common device for playing recorded Sound from the 1870s through the 1980s

While the band were working on Toys in the Attic, having written the music for the song but having difficulty coming up with lyrics for it, they decided to take a break and see Young Frankenstein, where the "Walk This Way" gag provided the basis (or phrase) for the lyrics. Toys in the Attic is the third album by American Hard rock band Aerosmith. Young Frankenstein is a 1974 Comedy film directed by Mel Brooks, starring Gene Wilder as the title character "Walk this way" is a recurrent joke in a number of movies and television shows most notably movies by Mel Brooks. [1]

While the Run-DMC cover is nearly identical to the original version of the song, the Girls Aloud/Sugababes cover 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, and the beat is slightly sped up to add a further dance pop influence to the song. Girls Aloud are a British Girl group created by ITV1 Talent show Popstars The Rivals in 2002 Sugababes are a BRIT Award -winning English pop group trio from London. A vocoder, ˈvoʊkoʊdər (a Portmanteau of vox/voc ( voice) and encoder) is an analysis / synthesis system mostly used for speech in which the input is Dance-pop is a style of Electronic dance music and a subgenre of Pop music that evolved from Disco, circa 1981 that combines dance beats with a pop

Both versions of the song, the original Aerosmith version and the second Aerosmith/Run-DMC remake version, appear on various Aerosmith compilations.

Legacy of the 1975 version

"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". " Dream On " is the first single by Aerosmith from their 1973 debut album Aerosmith. "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. " Sweet Emotion " is a song by American rock band Aerosmith. " Dream On " is the first single by Aerosmith from their 1973 debut album Aerosmith. A signature song is the one Song (or in some cases one of a few songs that a popular and well-established The band almost never 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 classic rock, mainstream rock, and Album-oriented rock radio stations.

In 1986, the rap group Run-D.M.C. performed a cover of "Walk This Way" with Steven Tyler and Joe Perry guesting on vocals and guitars.

The landmark collaboration catapulted Run-D. M. C. into mainstream stardom and would influence rap music for years to come. The song paved the way for other pop acts to introduce elements of hip hop into their music. It pioneered the trend of rap/sung collaborations that is so present on American Radio in the late 1990s and 2000s. The collaboration also introduced a fusion of hard rock and hip hop, later known as rapcore, to a wide audience for the first time.
