Abraham from JakartaAerosmith was fave band of my mom's family.Yancy from Manteca California Who played the Angel in the Video? For some reason you can’t find it anywhere! You Google the question and it says the Directors name lol.He want the angel to save his life and it’s a sad song Josh Souvannakasy from Tumwater Washington Concept Steven Tyler was very sad he feel having struggle with addiction.Rachael from NycI'm ALMOST positive the angel is played by Mia Sara.These instrumental geniuses are 'ARTISTS'.īecause they actually play musical instruments The other guys, ( you know who I mean) lolĪre finer than the finest wines France could ever table. Joe plays guitar easier than he breathes. Steve could be a contender to replace Pavarotti. The ToxicTwins actually LIVED through their party time and came back through changed musically and personally.Īs a sober band they kicked ass and took names. These band mates have been through more than one could ever imagine. Stu from Ontario Canada ' its' amazing that the boys had under performing albums at all.There was a huge upside to the song: it was their biggest US hit to that point, charting at #3 and earning lots of radio play. As John Kalodner explained in the band's biography Walk This Way: 'Tyler says that I ruined his career by making him write 'Angel' with Desmond.' Tyler knew he was compromising, and won't be putting the song on his highlight reel anytime soon. With Tyler pleading, 'Come and save me tonight,' there is a wuss factor to it that horrified longtime fans. It's a relationship song with none of the bawdy humor you would expect from the band. The band balked at first (sharing songwriting credits can be costly), but were impressed when Child helped them refine their raucous rocker ' Dude (Looks Like A Lady)' into a surefire hit.Ĭhild's next composition for the band was 'Angel,' which unlike 'Dude' sounded nothing like Aerosmith. With Aerosmith on the ropes after releasing two underperforming albums ( Rock in a Hard Place (1982) and Done with Mirrors (1985)), John Kalodner of Geffen Records insisted that they bring in outside writers to help restore them to their former glory.

Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler wrote this song with Desmond Child, who is one of the most successful songwriters of his time.
