We didn't similar the perception the song created about the band. I recollect beingness on tour with Aerosmith in Poland... it was on that tour we decided we would not play the song. We just didn't do it. A couple nights into the tour, Steven Tyler writes in big messages on our dressing room door, 'Play the fucking song!' His attitude was almost father-like.
