0:57
Hits out by the Tim Hortons we'll get to
0:59
that old we're gonna get to that video
1:01
that's the very first thing with my own
1:03
money that I have the bread background I
1:05
purchased this order so I think with the
1:07
wings it's gotta have with the logo yep
1:09
that's it okay that's all I remember
1:11
that tape room and I'm everybody bought
1:13
it so the first CDs would see these were
1:15
big and new yeah first CDs I ever owned
1:18
a bought barrels put their self-titled
1:19
debut album and Toys in the Attic Wow
1:23
yeah and I listened to those things
1:24
until the laser worked No so Reuben I
1:29
are huge Aerosmith fans and I'm sure
1:31
some of our first-time listeners are
1:33
also huge Aerosmith fan so what we're
1:34
gonna do and we'll explain this for our
1:36
new listeners who might just be
1:37
listening to this Aerosmith episode yeah
1:39
okay is what Reuben and I do is we don't
1:42
pick the best meaning we may like get
1:45
your wings more than Toys in the Attic
1:47
for example I don't know who does but we
1:49
might like that album or we don't make
1:52
the decision the public makes that
1:54
decision with a buying dollar so buy
1:56
they're buying the albums that's what
1:59
makes the best so we chose Aerosmith's
2:02
top five now we didn't choose or we
2:05
always put an order there top five
2:07
selling albums from least to greatest
2:09
we'll go through that with the audience
2:11
and then what room and I are going to do
2:13
from these best-selling albums of their
2:15
else's career is on a fly looking at the
2:18
album we're gonna choose our lease or
2:20

3:05
fist your face the reason a dog has so
3:07
many friends because of whites its tail

3:10
yeah how a great lyric writer but
3:12
anyways Hema jury dude looks like a lady
3:14
angel radome those are the four seagulls
3:16
for permanent vacation but we're not
3:17
rating the worst singles we are rating
3:20
the worst song on the album I'm still
3:23
surprised by hangman jury yeah that is I
3:27
actually I'm surprised too maybe I knew
3:28
it at one point but cold reading it
3:30
right now and that is a little
3:31
surprising you ready have your worst I
3:33
got most pervy vacation worldwide has
3:35
sold seven point six million copies not
3:38
too shabby and that doesn't include what
3:40
people ripped illegally or listen to
3:42
this day on YouTube and others Spotify
3:45
strings album but this is our physical
3:47
physical copies seven million people
3:49
seven million people that's like a good
3:51
sized nation I was saying earlier for
3:53
the record Elsbeth has sold over 150
3:55
million records very impressive
3:56
not too shabby for guys who go on fifty
3:58
years oh yeah the reason why birds are
4:00
talking about these guys not only but
4:02
let's do a little plug for us with
4:03
they're doing the arisen see at Las
4:04
Vegas called the deuces or a wild and I
4:07
tell you if I had money and time I'd go
4:08
I'd like to go I've seen them live three
4:11
times yourself I twice though I did see
4:15
I I do think this is an accident I think
4:17
accidentally see a little too much of
4:19
his uh hits the spenders on and you like
4:22
this and I think we're down a little low
4:24
too low so you did it flash so he saw
4:27
Stephens Tower the there's a lot we look
4:30
to like did we you know and I know he's
4:37
a dude all right that's fine you've seen
4:39
two lead singers penises yes travels at
4:43
is he that is his team has complete
4:44
penises just us to go huh Chen who may
4:48
he rest in peace
4:50
recipe this he was high on heroin and
4:53
drunk and as Halloween night news
4:55
opening for Lenny Kravitz he dressed as
4:58
a ghost and then he took off the his
5:01
sheet started peeing on the crowd this
5:04
is Google yes are peeing on the crowd
5:06
yeah Thank You ver yeah and I remember
5:09
was simply gonna bloody cry over for
5:11
later I was like rabbits also lead
5:31
singers with his junk be exposed remove
5:34
connection ok so those are all the worst
5:36
so I've seen Aerosmith at least twice I
5:38
saw him once with you open up for Kid
5:39
Rock I mean could Rock opening up for
5:41
them I don't see a few times and I saw
5:43
him at the Salle dome in Calgary Alberta
5:46
any guesses what song the opened with Oh
5:49
back in South absent that's awesome
5:52
so three times each so before you pick
5:54
just a reminder the no song can be a
5:56
cover okay I have to redo my worst song
5:59
yeah you're ready to go I'm down by the
6:02
Beatles yeah I'm a fans Beatles yeah
6:05
they do the great job doing their own
6:06
songs yeah like we did before with
6:08
little bands but this is the same rule
6:09
applies for Aerosmith it has to be their
6:12
original material okay fair enough fair
6:15
enough
6:15
oh my worst song yeah whoa okay fine no
6:21
I like it I did the movie the movie
6:24
musical you know I always want to
6:26
challenge you to pick it on the song but
6:27
that's fine it's legit it's just it's
6:29
not seeing towers not singing it's just
6:31
the guys playing at the end of it it's
6:32
called the movie - instrumental formats
6:34
long at the end they all it's a song on
6:36
Aerosmith album yes I know I know it's
6:38
you're right they chose to make this
6:40
attract one and jury would be my worst
6:42
well their first single was a surprise
6:45
like who was thinking about that one hey
6:48
man jury ok what's your worst the worst
6:52
song down for me and I haven't liked it
6:53
for a long long time is rag doll it's so
6:57
boring
6:57
it's so boring so rubas worst pic
7:00
officially is the movie then that's fine
7:03
so through our listeners you might
7:04
forget what the movie sounds like
7:11
[Music]
7:20
I kind of like that song I've always
7:22
liked that it's a pretty chunky
7:23
instrumental there I don't mind it I'd
7:26
rather listen to rag doll okay there's a
7:28
nervy that's how we pick yeah and I
7:30
would rather listen to the movie thin
7:32
right now because to me it's such a
7:34
remote it's such a repairs a little weak
7:53
[Laughter]
7:56
well yeah it's yeah it's supposed to go
7:59
to rock n roll song again it's the worst
8:02
it's the worst I never listen to when I
8:04
put Aerosmith on yeah that's what I mean
8:07
so like if I put on shuffle so permit
8:10
vacation is in my car which has been
8:11
many times for the last 30 years I
8:13
skipped my belt every time all right
8:15
let's save it for concerts save Africa
8:19
it's like the entertainment I never
8:21
listen understand was asked for that's
8:22
never that's proving it Toys in the
8:24
Attic Toys in the Attic came out in my
8:27
year of my birth baby sold 10.1 million
8:31
copies worldwide really yeah it's pretty
8:33
awesome
8:34
1975 that's not too shabby such hits of
8:38
course sweet emotion walk this way you
8:39
see me crime quarter in the title track
8:41
Toys in the Attic world released as
8:43
singles those are very strong singles
8:44
what sticks out to you as the worst song
8:47
on and this is a hard one
8:49
let me just say towards the Attic is a
8:51
near-perfect record but I do have one
8:53
okay well I don't know all right are you
8:58
ready all right our toes is touched
9:00
we're just walking casually then we'll
9:03
set our toes touch okay why went first
9:05
are you our first lost time I actually
9:06
have kind of a two way but you should
9:08
there's there's two tracks out of the
9:10
nine that aren't very strong we got
9:12
songs like toys niak walked this way
9:14
sweet emotion I'm hopefully not pick
9:16
anywhere as a no more no more around all
9:19
these songs just to be the remains of
9:20
those two particular and I'm just gonna
9:22
think really quick here I think it's the
9:25
second track on the album Uncle salty
9:29
[Applause]
9:33
[Music]
9:35
I think it's
9:39
I'll go salty so my least favorite song
9:43
so the worst song on and this is like I
9:45
said this is hard because I love
9:47
everything on this album I really do is
9:48
uncle salty and you like that better
9:52
than just free it to your pick to sample
9:55
uncle salt in here
10:07
love that part
10:10
[Applause]
10:13
that's a wicked Steven Tyler vocal
10:16
performance but that being said it's my
10:18
least favorite I hate picking uncle
10:21
salty barrows with worst of tours in the
10:23
attic ribbon you disagree big pinch not
10:26
even remotely are you kidding me I'd
10:29
rather listen to uncle salty easily so
10:32
somes rather just like a nickel uncle
10:33
salty
10:39
[Music]
10:49
okay the song Joisey anak I think it's a
10:52
perfect now if there was one song that
10:54
dropped off this record you'd rather be
10:58
Uncle salty then a big 10-inch record a
11:03
song that they didn't even write oh you
11:06
can't make that your sin it's not a
11:07
cover though is it it's written by Fred
11:10
Weiss mantle but I don't think it's a
11:12
cover which so councils of original tune
11:14
obviously did the music everything else
11:15
oh it's a cover
11:17
okay your hands before serving if we
11:21
just good okay let's let's go back I'm
11:23
pretty sure it's Adam's apple
11:24
all right so there you go Adam's apple
11:27
is Reubens pick I'm movin on a pump well
11:30
pump pumps are great I love it love it
11:32
love it
11:33
it's another near-perfect now I'm being
11:35
honest here I I love palm pump it's all
11:37
just a little bit more than toys Danica
11:39
ten to have worldwide million copies I
11:42
must have looked good for them me yes
11:44
they bring up the drugs all that stuff
11:48
it's like the world crashed if there's
11:51
like the Rocky movies this would be this
11:53
is part three yeah because this is crazy
11:56
because this the permanent vacation was
11:59
a great comeback album yeah seven half
12:00
million copies and the pumps sold three
12:02
million more anything oh they're not
12:04
gonna top that love in an elevator fine
12:07
Janie's got a gun what it takes the
12:09
other side is monkey on my back this
12:10
album is probably my second favorite
12:12
I'll about to tour the Attic quite
12:13
frankly I this it's like a band reborn
12:17
mmm but ribbon is there a worse a song
12:20
on this album others who do voodoo
12:23
medicine man get out of my house how are
12:30
you serious
12:31
what would you say that is the worst now
12:34
guys please don't stop listen Air Show
12:36
ruins opinions do not reflect who do
12:40
medicine man do you forget what it
12:42
sounds like
12:43
well I remember sounds like I listened
12:44
to this probably three weeks ago
12:47
so here the intro a long room in the
12:53
intro alone it's great
13:03
[Applause]
13:03
[Music]
13:10
[Applause]
13:11
[Music]
13:15
just this is part of your fascist s was
13:17
fancier
13:18
[Music]
13:27
take over ends
13:29
boomba am
13:31
Gorby and yeah yeah yeah
13:34
[Music]
13:40
yeah I don't like this
13:42
[Music]
13:47
Wow well you know what this is don't do
13:50
the boom this is probably like my
13:52
favorite track on the album I love a lot
13:55
of the song I don't like how it ends
13:57
fair enough that's fair that's what
13:59
makes it so tough sometimes because even
14:00
the things that we love the most is
14:01
always so this is worst my worst song
14:03
and I think I think the majority of our
14:05
fans and Aerosmith fans will agree with
14:07
me come on Ruben seriously do you forget
14:09
this one maybe I do yeah
14:16
[Music]
14:25
those are hair winding like dumb bad
14:27
news
14:28
[Applause]
14:29
the first of any song can sound stupid
14:32
if you make it sound stupid oh okay
14:39
what is it most is the this is the most
14:41
divisive ribbon I've ever been on the
14:42
show this is great this makes for great
14:44
radio it's my least favorite in fact
14:47
again like my least favorite song on
14:49
this album if it's skipped or if let's
14:51
say I had some CD and the song was
14:52
scratched I wouldn't buy a new disc I
14:55
would just completely skip the song ever
14:57
I ever miss it again alright my girl
15:00
Aerosmith worst on their pump album and
15:02
ribbons was missin oh boy art the new
15:07
listeners please don't give up on her
15:09
show get a grip now you thought pump was
15:12
a comeback my goodness get a grip
15:14
thirteen point four million copies
15:16
worldwide crazy for better for worse
15:19
guys I hate to say but for better for
15:20
worse
15:20
get a grip was the zenith the peak of
15:23
their career but my goodness they wrote
15:25
they came out in 1973 20 years into the
15:28
career they reached a peak and no band
15:30
doesn't anymore two per hectare Oh Smith
15:32
they're still rocking it doing a
15:35
residency in transmitting a new band
15:36
right now but who's gonna be a band
15:38
twenty years ago that's gonna peak he's
15:40
gonna ruin five I could to get more
15:42
albums 20 years from now no no band will
15:44
peak 20 years after the start of their
15:46
career starting now
15:47
it's Christ I will live and die by that
15:49
I came to think of like a new band this
15:51
so that's the journey else with half get
15:54
it grips thing about those folks but
15:55
they came with the Aerosmith self-titled
15:56
album in 1973 they peaked twenty years
16:01
later with a 39th million sold get on it
16:03
loved it and no bands doing that anymore
16:05
and they're still going 25 years after
16:07
this album that's insane to me it is
16:09
insane so get a grip was released in
16:12
1993 seven singles it was like a good
16:15
part of music 92 93 four was amazing it
16:20
was really amazing
16:22
actually no 87 to 93 those are very good
16:25
here 87 to 93 will never have again no
16:28
no no bands around the cross the bar
16:31
from Bon Jovi given to Tom Petty to
16:33
Aerosmith to you to 87 to 93 will never
16:37
be matched
16:38
no it was I don't know we don't know and
16:41
I
16:42
or listeners will agree signals from the
16:44
Sun we're living on the edge eat the
16:45
rich cry and amazing line up shut up and
16:47
dance and crazy from this album which is
16:50
the worst and it can't be a Joe Perry
16:53
song I have my pick it's gonna be other
16:57
heartache okay I I need to pick one okay
17:01
and so therefore and this is a very
17:04
close tie to something else but it's
17:05
easier to eat the rich okay III kind of
17:08
see it but why what would you read the
17:10
lyrical content is so I think musically
17:13
it's fun it is kind of weird because
17:16
they're very rich and this is their best
17:17
album ever I got rich from this up like
17:19
what is so rich
17:25
[Applause]
17:34
[Music]
17:34
[Applause]
17:37
oh please
17:40
[Applause]
17:41
[Music]
17:46
[Applause]
17:47
[Music]
17:49
so another line I don't like in that is
17:51
take your Grey Poupon do you remember
17:54
those commercials
17:56
Grey Poupon and Dwayne's world did it -
17:58
yeah but it was like it's not timeless
18:00
my least favorite song to sell this is I
18:03
was almost going to pick crying yeah
18:06
that song it's just a long step for the
18:09
song moment ago that gotta love it
18:11
my legs are just being a woman Ultra
18:18
sing tad sorry if there's a commercial
18:21
always period pad so little leaks and
18:24
just in my hair free sample oh boy
18:31
[Music]
18:40
[Music]
18:40
[Applause]
18:48
and I don't like when the band repeats
18:50
the song done before they're doing
18:53
around around around they did 20 years
18:55
previous with the song round around of
18:57
the boys in the Attic
18:58
well you know my birth reference their
19:00
song sometimes cuz like a weird journey
19:03
of a song or but sure you're actually
19:04
singing the next thing way around around
19:06
it was you know and like I'd ever clued
19:08
in on that oh the first part of the song
19:10
I made the connection and it never made
19:12
the connection anyway so gotta love it
19:14
it was almost crying but I actually
19:16
think I'd rather listen to crying then
19:18
gotta love it
19:19
alright so the last and the greatest
19:21
selling album of all time Rubin is their
19:24
greatest hits album which kind of makes
19:25
sense you think well Ryan guys that's
19:26
not fair but you know we got to conclude
19:29
because this is kind of an interesting
19:30
now because it was a greatest hits album
19:31
of 1980 well and I bought that probably
19:35
in 86 so this was a first they've had
19:39
many compilation albums since but this
19:42
was their first greatest hits album and
19:43
to this day and it's their old time
19:45
selling best graces album so I think
19:47
that's why we should mention it and sold
19:49
40 and a half million copies worldwide
19:51
but the positive perspective they've
19:53
released the album gems Pandora's box
19:55
big ones box on fire
19:57
Pandora's toys young lust the heiress
19:59
within follows you classic outs oh yeah
20:01
the ultimate heiress with hits devil's
20:04
got a new disguise twice at your master
20:06
tough love the best hop belts the
20:08
essential Aerosmith and all of them like
20:09
to do two quick math here those alone
20:12
we're looking at the big ones alone was
20:14
210 to half million crazy but underneath
20:18
Greatest Hits they probably sold another
20:20
the 16 million is 17 million Greatest
20:22
Hits albums on top with the greatest
20:24
most of the have faith why just spread
20:27
them all rib go through it again know
20:28
through those look like one dozen three
20:30
four five six seven eight nine 10
20:33
they've had 12 great assist compilations
20:35
that's crazy
20:37
so you've sold on average between three
20:39
and four million per package that's why
20:41
they keep doing that sure this one alone
20:43
though it's their first and original so
20:44
I think is worth mentioning the greatest
20:46
hits album released in 1980 they peaked
20:48
at 43 on the charts keeps selling over
20:51
these years the Guns and Roses greatest
20:53
yeah
20:54
as well ISIL Reuben on the greatest hits
20:57
album oh we've got dread let me say for
20:58
our offense mr. Tarek fans was on their
21:00
dream on same old song and dance sweet
21:04
emotion Walk This Way last child back in
21:06
the South draw the line kings and queens
21:08
come together which does not count
21:10
and remember walk in the sand which does
21:12
not count oh no it's a cover song yeah
21:16
that's right by the chancre laws that's
21:17
a good song yeah oh it's great she was
21:20
16 when she sang that song really yeah
21:22
crazy yeah so Reuben that's a tough call
21:26
no one's gonna like mine now you're
21:29
drawing from the classic Aerosmith from
21:31
the 70s it's hard to criticize any of
21:32
these okay okay I stand by my choice you
21:34
want me to go or you go you go ahead
21:36
walk this way this is a bit of really
21:39
crazy episode is this like the inner
21:41
Sandman said drum for this no okay
21:43
I prefer this is crazy I prefer the one
21:47
from would you stop what are you talking
21:55
with it
21:56
I feel nostalgic with it I remember I
22:01
have the Backstreet Kid Rock tickets is
22:03
Kid Rock in Reverend run you know from
22:06
Run DMC yeah yeah I know
22:08
anyways Kid Rock and run did it walk
22:12
this way this is a great time did the
22:14
video walk this way with friend DMC now
22:17
blew your mind you really thought was a
22:18
walled no - I
22:21
[Music]
22:46
all right so they have almost 65 million
22:49
views on this shirt how many views on
22:51
the original walk this way the reason
22:53
why the cover works so well in a rap
22:55
version is where I give credit Steven
22:56
Tyler Nixon said you find basically
22:58
rapid scat scat and type singing he's 75
23:01
it translated that's amazing to me and
23:04
so it's hard for me to like this version
23:06
better though they built on something
23:09
that was built already by Steven and I'd
23:12
like the Stevens in the song but saves a
23:14
little but he does a high finish because
23:15
they can't do that no so they do the rap
23:17
part Stephen does the high-pitched
23:19
squeal part you know the walk this way
23:21
we can also argue this song help good
23:23
else with a second chance sure who's
23:25
probably what we're talking about maybe
23:26
not maybe not and I get full credit
23:28
where credit's due
23:29
I don't hate the song I just I just this
23:32
has been a very discerning up so I don't
23:35
hate that I know hers I know this is the
23:37
worst of the best okay we don't get I've
23:40
just asked to me there was a very sacred
23:42
ban this your worst on the greatest hits
23:46
album oh my gosh
23:53
[Music]
23:59
[Music]
24:07
now remember I think what's happening
24:09
it's the nature of our show it's just
24:12
the worst of the best I would rather
24:15
listen to walk this way I think in my
24:17
car full blast I know it's been played
24:19
in a million times I know it's the intro
24:21
Sam Anna Faris was career in some ways I
24:23
recognize that but to me it's from my
24:25
favorite album I can't I can't say last
24:28
child is a is a better song the walk so
24:31
I just can't say that's the case it's
24:33
not a better song alright hope you've
24:38
