“And what he saw was a good actress, not a pretty girl. “He liked what he saw in the movie,” Silverstone told Rolling Stone in her 1995 cover story.
One of the many people who watched The Crush was video director Marty Callner. Best scene: When he fails to show up for her horse show, she hunts him down at some fancy charity ball, storms in wearing her riding suit and boots, slaps him hard and yells, “Too busy kissing ass to care about me, is that it?” They got it with a little help from a rising star named Alicia Silverstone, star of The Crush, a trashy erotic thriller about a murderous teen with a deadly fixation on her sweaty-looking grown-up neighbor Cary Elwes. So the band needed a real hit – a chance to show off the Aerosmith feel and the Aerosmith luster. MTV’s VJ Kennedy gave the video a memorable punch line, snickering, “Edward sure makes my fur long.” But Weird Al hugely improved the song when he redid it as “Livin’ in the Fridge.” Tyler wore dreadlocks, inspiring the mockery of Beavis & Butt-Head: “He looks like Vanilli!” The video was a real dud – there wasn’t even a girl, only some hijinks with Terminator kid Edward Furlong. “There’s something wrong with the world today” was a valid sentiment in 1993, but not the kind of thing you go to Steven Tyler to get lectured about.
Which way did you come in?” Megadeth got replaced by Jackyl, giving fans a chance to thrill to Jesse James Dupree’s chainsaw solos during “The Lumberjack.”Ī bigger problem was the underwhelming first single and video, “Livin’ on the Edge,” a big-budget bore. Stephen Tyler’s comment to Mustaine was one of his classics: “We’d like to help you out. Megadeth got the axe after only six shows, when Dave Mustaine was accused of blowing his nose on an Aerosmith T-shirt onstage. Their tour got off to a shaky start with opening act Megadeth, not a happy match. One reason was the admirably moronic cover: the album title tattooed above a cow’s udder. “Cryin” dropped at a time when Aerosmith needed a boost – their excellent new album Get a Grip was in danger of looking like a joke.
