[edit] NPR Interview Info

NPR Fresh Air on Aug. 30, 2007 re-broadcasted an interview with Steven Tyler & Joe Perry that was originally done in 1997. Around the 22:36 minute mark they talk about this song specifically in relation to how it was created. Joe cites the meter of James Brown and Neville Brothers. The hook was created at a sound check in Hawaii. Steven actually lost the lyrics and then rewrote them and wrote the lyrics again on the wall at The Record Plant. Apparently he left the original lyrics in a cab and they were never to be found again. I'm not sure how to format all that for the story, but it's relevant and backed up with primary source documentation.

[edit] group sex?

looking at the lyrics now, i suppose i can see how you might think group sex is being hinted at, but it never would've occurred to me without reading that here first. is there a source for this, or is it someone's personal interpretation? --dan 09:41, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Removed

I have removed the "cover" of Girls Aloud and Sugababes version of "Walk This Way" as it is obvious it is not the official cover.

• the author simply copy and pasted the a pic of the sugababes on top of a pic of Girls Aloud.
• 2 members of Girls Aloud are "giving the finger"

Here is the picture, if you would like to see it Image:Walkthisway.jpg hippi ippi 03:36, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Rock is being cheapened, if legendary rock/hip hop songs are being sung by wannabe barbie dolls with no real talent what so ever.

Rock? Girls Aloud/Sugababes is not rock, for a start. And you're probably deaf, so I forgive you for not realising that they obviously have better voices than Aerosmith and DMC. Anyway, is this - http://eil.com/Gallery/390772b.jpg an official alternate cover? -Anthony- 07:55, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ...

"The song has been covered by UK girl groups Girls Aloud and Sugababes as the official Comic Relief single in 2007."

...is just sooo asking to be vandalised. Heh. andy29 02:24, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sugababes snub?

I removed the following comment since I don't think there's any way to prove it is true and thus does not belong in the article:

This is hugely due to the sales from Girls Aloud fans, after the song was snubbed by so called Sugababes fans who branded it 'horrible' due to the lack of vocal talent on the Sugababes part. LPMA 22:09, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Non-free use disputed for Image:Walk This Way 2.JPG

I'm moving the following message from my talk page, as these notices really should be posted on article talk pages rather than the original uploader's talk page: Postdlf 15:48, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] B-side?

The single cover lists "Come Together" as the B-side, but Come Together is not listed as a B-side in the infobox. Can somebody look into whether this was an alternate B-side or something like that? TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 16:52, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ja Rule, Nelly, and Sum41

Shouldn't there be a blurb about their performance of "Walk this Way" at the 2002 MTV (or was is Much Music?) awards?

...

On second thought, forget about it. I just watched it again. Ouch.
