Joe Perry and Steven Tyler appeared on American daytime show The Talk where they discussed their debut hit Dream On, late-80s classic Love In An Elevator and Walk This Way - the track that brought rock music to a whole new generation while also helping to break rap into the mainstream in 1986.

Asked whether they thought about turning down the advances of Run DMC who wanted to cover Walk This Way, Perry says: "We did, for about three seconds. I thought rap was a natural progression from the blues, where our music is based. And then they called up Rick Rubin and said something about Walk This Way being proto-rap.

"I said, 'I guess you could draw that connection.' A couple of weeks later he called and said 'do you wanna come down?' We played, and these guys threw some lines back and forth. Then we needed a bass and one of the guys who was there, some teenager hanging around, said he had a bass at his house. He went back and got the bass... and it was the Beastie Boys. It was magic, between the two kinds of music. It was the first time, except for Michael Jackson, that they played black artists on MTV. We're really proud of that."
