Tell Me How the Pain's Supposed to Go

You have to love Steven Tyler's white jumpsuit at the beginning and end of today's video. It's almost like Aerosmith goes country today with their barroom ballad called "What It Takes." The only thing I would have suggested for the brawl that happens is that the patrons throw bottles of beer at the chicken wire separating the band like a scene from "Blues Brothers." It would have made this video much much better. Nonetheless, here are Steven and the boys from a song that came out on the 1989 "Pump" album but peaked in 1990. Here is "What It Takes"...
