The best thing about Music From Another Dimension! is the chance to hear Joe Perry and Brad Whitford play guitar – always the best thing about any Aerosmith album. LUV XXX, despite the dippy title, revives the Rocks-style riff glory no other band can replicate.

An unfinished piece originally put together in 1991 during the initial sessions for the Get a Grip album, the song was debuted live by the band on the finale of the eleventh series of American Idol on May 23, 2012. The song also features on the soundtrack for the movie GI Joe: Retaliation. Joe Perrys riff was played on a newly purchased guitar synth. He recalled to Artist Direct: Im always looking for the newest guitar synthesizer or foot pedal—basically anything that can change the sound of the guitar for inspiration. Sometimes, Ill even try to write a song on a different instrument. That can spark a new riff. For Legendary Child, Id gotten a new guitar synth almost 20 years ago. That main riff was one of the first things I played when I plugged this thing in. At the time, it was the latest one. We pulled it out of the box, plugged it in, and started fooling it. This riff started coming out. https://youtube/watch?v=4iXNwEaQoJU Legendary child I tell ya what Im talkin about Makin love at seventeen, yeah, we had the luck But we traded em toys and other joys, and we didnt give a (whoa-oh-oh) I took a chance at the high school dance, never knowing wrong from right And that same show, forty years ago, being televised tonight Cause journey from inside my head to the Taj Mahal I went from never-havin-none to wanna-have-it-all I wanna keep that dream alive And eat that honey from the hive With all the noise and all the glamor No surprise you know I am a Legendary child I think that what Im tryin to say is Sticks and stones will break your bones, at least theyll rearrange I drop a dime and every time I get myself a nickels change (whoa-oh-oh) They say we dont know jack At the plant, we proved em wrong We traded in our souls at night and sold em for a song And if Satan had a lady friend, her name was Mary Jane I never wondered why she tried to drive us quite insane And how we got the golden fleece From tokin on that pipe of peace Yeah, as far as I can see There is a God cause I got me a Legendary child Legendary child (Le-gen-da-ry child) Legendary child Legendary child Legend Legendary child LegendaryWriter/s: VALLANCE, JAMES DOUGLAS / TYLER, STEVEN / PERRY, JOE Publisher: Universal Music Publishing Group, EMI Music Publishing Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
