The Day the Chainsaw Died: Jackyl, Aerosmith, and the Death of Cool | CMS Classic 2012

Jesse James Dupree is a friend of the show, but friendship doesn’t buy you a pass when you decide to desecrate the altar of Run-DMC. We sat down to listen to Jackyl’s cover of “It’s Tricky,” and what we found was a cringe-inducing attempt to recapture the lightning-in-a-bottle magic of “Walk This Way.” It’s not just bad; it’s “chainsaw-revving-in-a-silent-library” misplaced.DON’T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT! HERE’S JACKYL’S BEST IN SHOW: https://amzn.to/4dpJQfbBut the rot doesn’t stop with Dupree. We take a hard look at the architects of the “Sell-Out” blueprint: Aerosmith. Since 1987, the Bad Boys from Boston have traded grit for glitter, culminating in Steven Tyler’s absolute surrender of dignity on the American Idol stage. When did rock stars stop being dangerous and start being caricatures of their own grandmothers? We’re pulling the curtain back on the fake drama of reality TV saloons and the “shitty” reality of modern rock covers.The version you’re seeing here is the “sanitized” edit.
