Aerosmith debut "Legendary Child" video

Remember when MTV videos were just a series of jump cuts between hot girls and a rock band pretending to play live in a warehouse? Aerosmith does.

On new single “Legendary Child,” Aerosmith does it old school. And by old-school I mean they're pretending to jam in a warehouse while a cutie on roller skates battles girls that aren't quite as cute who are also on roller skates.

It's genius. And by genius I mean it's the same formula the band used for “Rag Doll,” “Love in an Elevator,” “Crazy,” “Cryin',” “Amazing,” and-- Well, I could list every video the Bad Boys ever made (minus arguably “What It Takes”), but you get the idea.

Side note: “Legendary Child” is actually a cool song (read about the new album in my Herald feature). It's not “Sweet Emotion," but neither was “Rag Doll.” If it were '77 or '87, it could go Top 40. Of course it's not.

Anyway, here's the video:
