Summary: I Got "Pumped" Watching This
Review: This DVD was exactly what I had hoped for. Unlike other reviewers, I didn't want a DVD of their video catalog. Although videos are great, they are "performance pieces" and you can catch those any time you want on MTV. This DVD brings you inside the studio .. and, in truth, inside the very creative minds of the members of the band. You get to see exactly what process they go thru to create their masterpieces. The DVD includes moments of brilliance, frustration, friendship, anger and sheer joy at realizing that their project is complete. All five members of the band are showcased and it becomes clear how each one is vital to the survival of the group as a whole. They candidly discuss their years of "drinking and drugging" .. and the lessons that they learned from it along the way. Being a musician myself, I was fascinated with the recording process and the methods the band-mates utilize to achieve a finished product. You get to hear the (now famous) hits in their infancy stages -- different lyrics, different music, etc. -- and the steps that were taken along the way to create the songs as we now know them. You see the anguish the guys go through when one of their songs is cut from an album. As Joe Perry puts it .. "these songs are their babies and somebody else gets to decide which of them will grow up .. and which ones won't".

Unlike the theatrical quality that you see in a produced music video, this DVD shows you the guys as they REALLY are. It even opens by hearing Joe Perry urinating in the toilet while he is talking to Steven about a song they are working on. It is clear that this is just an "ordinary" recording day for the guys. No stage make-up, no theatrics for the camera .. just the intricate thought process that goes into creating a work of art.

As a bonus, you do get to see two "finished" numbers .. "Love in an Elevator" and "The Other Side" and you appreciate them so much more having seen how every note was laid down -- all the way down to the background speaking noises for their videos or "opening clips" before songs.

Before I saw this DVD, I was a huge Aerosmith fan ... but I really only knew background info on the two "stars" .. Steven and Joe Perry. I was very pleased to get to learn more about the other three members of the band and how they all contribute to the workings of the "machine".

I highly recommend this DVD to anybody who is interested in HOW the songs are created. From humming and knee-slapping (pre-lyrics) to the glorious finished products that we have come to recognize as true masterpieces of music.

Summary: must have for the ultimate fan
Review: This is an awesome video that no Aerohead should live without! If you think that you are a real fan, buy this video!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: FANTASTIC!!!!
Review: This is the greatest 'behind the scenes' look ever! - You get a real feel for what these bands go through to create good music.. but remember, it's called "The making of..." so don't expect any concert footage or anything, it's strictly IN-STUDIO footage.. but it's so fasinating to see how it's all done.

NOTE: I highly recommend the DVD (instead of vhs) so that you can find spots that you want to concentrate on, it's well worth it if you're interested in the production of that great cd "PUMP" - I LOVE IT!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Disappointing and unsatisfactory
Review: This ranks up there with some of the other major disappointments and "cashing-in" copouts.(Chilli peppers - Funky Monks, Alanis -Jagged little pill, Motley Crue ETC). Seems like labels think they can just put out any old junk and the public will buy. At least with Aerosmith they have been good enough to tell you in the title that what you are really gonna get here is a whole bunch of poor quality out-takes about the band. I am a HUGE Aerosmith fan, however not even I can say I will watch this more than once.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome behind-the-scenes look at Aerosmith and their music.
Review: This video is an awesome combination of powerful rock music and a behind-the-scenes look at one of the most legendary bands of all time--Aerosmith. I recommend this to every Aerosmith fan, no matter how big a fan you are!!!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: "The making of PUMP" (Aerosmith)
Review: Well to start off I thought it was pretty good. They showed a lot of what it takes to make an ulbum. I saw things in there that you would have never have thought of about making an ulbum. They also have some cuts of when they were making the music videos too.

All around this DVD is a very good buy for anyone who likes Aerosmith. They are the best Rock band ever. Besides The Beatles and The Stones!
