Aerosmith - The Making of Pump Reviews: Behind the Album 2009-06-11 - Dude, this is so cool, and really awesome for any Aerosmith fan. It takes you to the recording studio with the guys and you see them fight and you see them get it right. It also includes "The Other Side" Music video and What It Takes, it is a must have for any Aerosmith rocker!!!
Great Movie 2008-04-01 - 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.
DON'T GET RIPPED OFF! 2007-12-15 - 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!
Not up to expectations 2007-09-08 - 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.
wonderful 2006-10-29 - 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.
