Aerosmith - Big Ones You Can Look At (1999).DVDR
---------------------------------------------------------------------


By now Aerosmith's story of survival is deeply imbedded in rock mythology. Band reaches outlandish stadium-sized stardom in the `70s; band splinters under the weight of their toxic abuse; members undergo detox; clean and sober band returnsto a new apex of superstardom in the `90s: a classic tale of excess and success. It is rock 'n' roll's great American redemption, and BIG ONES is a greatest hits soundtrack to thecomeback portion of this story - with two new tunes to serveas an encore of sorts.
BIG ONES also illustrates that the Aerosmith that's come to define current mainstream rock isnot the Aerosmith of old. The blues-veined, pocket-Stones sound that introduced white boys to "Walking The Dog" has given way to lascivious arena-metal ("Love In An Elevator", "Dude (Looks Like A Lady)") and emotional power-ballads ("Angel", "Cryin'"). Age has also brought about a change in the topics that the band chooses to address, concerning themselves with child abuse in "Janie's Got A Gun", and morality in "Living On The Edge".
Yet, with Aerosmith what you see is what you get--therein lies the beauty--and even with the mildtinkering of the machinery, BIG ONES proves that their commercial train just keeps a-rollin'.
