Editorial Reviews and DVD Information about Aerosmith - The Making of Pump

Customer Reviews for Aerosmith - The Making of Pump

Great Movie
This movie is great but it doesn't begin with Joe Perry going to the restroom. It starts with "Love in an Elevator." It contains tons of great interviews with the band. The reason for the name "Pump." Shows the band aruging and the real great rawness of the band Aerosmith. It is not just one of those movies you watch and then put away in a corner. Every true member of the 'blue jean army' (See "Walk This Way: The Autobiography of Aerosmith") should own this. I love it.Aerosmith - The Making of Pump

DON'T GET RIPPED OFF!
This dvd is a complete waste of time. It says "110 minutes of footage..." and it turns out it's only 50 minutes of footage with the rest on the cutting room floor. I wasted 50 minutes of my life watching this, whereupon I ejected it from my dvd player muttering and cursing and promptly returned it for a refund. What's worse is I bought it as a gift for someone else. Gone is a significant portion of the film, including most of the songwriting process, interview fragments, and (the best) some of the arguments and studio drama. Anybody who watched this way back when would sympathize, and I can't believe I'm the first reviewer to recognize this dvd's complete inferiority and to tell it like it is: a total piece of JUNK!Aerosmith - The Making of Pump

Not up to expectations
For die hard Aerosmith fans. Interesting seeing the dynamic of the band recording Pump. The interview are okay though unabashedly stagged. Video quality in the studio is not great. The weirdest thing is how abruptly the DVD ends almost like a mistake. Nowhere near as much fun as You Gotta Move.Aerosmith - The Making of Pump

wonderful
The Making of Pump talks about all the things that could have broken up Aerosmith. Thankfully the band was able to rise above the problems that could have ended their career so badly and managed to release an excellent album called Pump. Aerosmith truly is one of the greatest comeback stories in the history of rock and roll. Pick this up to see why.Aerosmith - The Making of Pump

Behind the Scenes
I loved this DVD. I enjoyed the behind the scenes look at the music business. I also enjoyed the look at the personalites of the band members that you don't get from stage performances or videos. This is a "getting to know you" kind of video. Unless you are interested in the band members themselves, or in the business of music, you probably won't get much out of it, however.Aerosmith - The Making of Pump
