![Red Hot Chili Peppers - Give It Away [Official Music Video] REACTION!!!](/img/tr.png)
Steven Tyler started a very successful charity for abused Girls called Janie’s House. Kudos to him.
Really?
He actually started a company Called The Janie foundation to help house and counsel young survivers of sexual abuse
Was just about to mention this. He opened a house, Janie's House, In Memphis. A home for abused and neglected girls.
..which is great, but www.distractify.com/entertainment/2018/10/02/ZvU1RW/rockers-and-underage-teens
@@K3VYK3V1 I'd say this was him atoning for his past.
Steven dated a under age girl then when she got pregnant he disowned her and tried to have her burned alive. Steven is no good.
@@jaystrilland7537 I feel fairly safe in saying that if he's funding charities to help women deal with abuse, he got better.
“Because nobody believed me, the man was such a sleaze, he ain’t never gonna be the same.”
When you realized what the song was about you could see it on your face. He’s opened AJanies house for abused women
Yeah, it’s hard for me to listen to it.
I saw her reaction too
I think he trying to make up for the girl he impregnated.
Absolutely
@@SolSkinn also for making his fiancee get a saline abortion.
He was horrified, and swore never to do that, again.
"Janie had to shoot his ass". Yes she did. Your emotion is unmatched in the reaction world. Peace and love.
I remember watching that video for the first time when it debuted. Some people wanted it banned because of the sexual nature of the song/video and the fire-arm violence. (As if molesting one's daughter doesn't constitute as violence in it's own right.)
I read or heard on t.v back then -- can't remember which...that was clear back in like 1989/1990 that in order to make the song more palatable for record sales, radio and t.v. spots and for some listeners...his company had to change a few things in the song.
One line that was changed:
"He raped a little bitty baby" was changed to "He jacked a little bitty baby"
My brother and his wife went to an Aerosmith's concert and they said Steve sang that first version for the concert song, using the word rape, rather than jacked.
I've also heard about another change too.
The only version I have ever heard was where he sings " and put a bullet in his brain"
-- but I guess for some radio markets, that verse was substituted to:
"She left him in the pouring rain"
I've never heard that 'rain' version...so maybe someone can confirm that.
At least the song brought attention to a problem that was usually swept under the rug, and Steve personally helped in getting some safe homes started up for abused girls.
Even in a very conservative place like Utah where I grew up played the bullet in the brain.
I always heard put a bullet in his brain.
I have heard the "rain" version, so consider it confirmed.
@@isabelpacheco9400 - Well, the song definitely says 'jacked' when you hear it on the music video/radio version.
And, as I said, my brother and his wife went to their concert and Steve Tyler definitely sang 'raped'
And I too, watched or heard a discussion about that line way back when...and it was Perry talking about it some interview. It's been some 30 years, and while I can't recall if it was a radio or t.v interview...I definitely remember it was Steve Tyler talking about those lyrics and how the record company and he decided "jacked" would be the substitute for the word 'raped'
I wouldn't be surprised if during the hammering out of the lyrics and in trying to keep the record company happy...the word 'tried' was probably tried out too as a way to make that lyric less graphic.
But I've never heard the word 'tried' in any version of the song.
BTW, here is live concert footage and in it Steve uses the word, raped.
ua-cam.com/video/Hk7TVIAkKQY/v-deo.html
@@isabelpacheco9400 I'm not angry...lol. Just pointing out that while what you said was probably true, or at least very possible - the word 'tried' as far as I know, has not been used in any recording of the song.
Apologies if I came off as sounding angry to you. : )
My heart goes out to anyone who was abused by their parents or other loved ones. I remember when this song came out in 1989. It blew my little 6-year-old mind. Another song that deals with child abuse is Pat Benatar's 'Hell Is For Children.' Both songs were chastised by critics for being too graphic. That's another song you should check out. It's from a woman's perspective, and possibly was an influence on Steven Tyler, Aerosmith's lead singer, when he wrote 'Janie's Got A Gun.'
This video is really dark and the song is extremely powerful.
This song came so close to becoming my reality and I often think about how many people it's almost happened to. A lot of the comments here tell me it's about what I think: way too many of us. I am so grateful to have found trauma informed therapy. 43 years old and I'm finally healing from wounds I endured at 13. I cannot even begin to describe how much better my life is now. Really makes you realize how much they take.
The music is from times passed. But, the message is still so relevant today. India, thank you for playing and Reacting to this video. You hit it out of the park, as usual. Bless you!
This song has always resonated with me. I’m 46. My stepdad molested me and my sister. I’m a survivor. Not a victim. ❤️
When I was 13 nobody believed me but I had a friend who did and she said Never let it ruin your life never let them take that too.
The reason I forgave mine was for my mental health. I forgave but never forgot.
Same!
Long may you all continue to not only survive but thrive. ☺
My grandfather molested my sister & me; been estranged from that side of the family for 25yrs. I can't wait for him to kick the bucket so I can see my cousins without worrying he'll show up. Dad told him if he ever got in touch he'd kill him, I never told my dad about him trying to talk to me because I didn't want him to go to prison.
I’ll be 47 next month. I have played musical instruments since I was a kid. When I listen to music I mainly hear the instruments. I listen hard to the melody, chords, notes of the guitar solo, drums etc. I rarely listen to all of the lyrics. I hear the chorus and I do hear the lyrics but I don’t comprehend the song. I know it’s strange but that’s the way my mind hears music.
So I have listened to this song since it’s release and have never heard the song until your reaction.
It hit me hard. I’m a man & a survivor of abuse as a kid. You broke the song down and I HEARD what happened to her. I never have before I just knew “Janie got a gun” & “what did her daddy do?”. Never knew much else because I was always focused on the music.
WOW! I’m blown away. How did I never hear this before?
This is why I really like your reactions because you break these songs down not just listen.
Thank you for opening my mind to this song!
I think I was 8 or 9 when this came out. I never had an experience like this, but accepted immediately that it could happen. I remember rooting for Janie to get justice and peace for herself. My cousin told me not too long afterward that she had been similarly abused by my aunt's boyfriend, who was no longer in her life. I remember thinking if I ever ran into him, I was going to "Janie" him for my cousin... Crazy.
As a sexual abuse survivor, hearing this song was like a gut punch. I wasn't prepared for it and I ended up bawling. I think it's an important song.
You should react to Hell is For Children by Pat Benetar and Luka by Suzanne Vega. They both deal with child abuse and both were controversial because they did what this song did...dragged an ugly truth into the light.
Edit: I'm referring to the first time I heard this song, when it was originally released.
I'm sorry this song caught you off guard like that. I hope you're doing ok. :'(
Same for me the first time I heard the song and saw the video. To this day, I still don't like to listen to this song very often. It is important though to shine truth on this subject.
Another one from around the same time, (1990) Amelia by The Mission (or The Mission UK)
I’m very sorry you experienced such a despicable thing-🙏🏼💟
Tell your story.
I heard this as an 8 year old living with an emotional and physically abusive father and this song gave me nightmares but also a strange feeling of not being alone.
"Runaway Train" by Soul Asylum would be good to follow this.
I cannot hear that song and not cry. He captures the despair and loneliness so well.
Was thinking same thing
Agreed that is such a great and important song
I definitely concur.
Would absolutely love to see the reaction. This song was my favorite for so long.
Aerosmith!!
You don't forget it ever. You have to work through it and be stronger. Even with very good men like my girls Daddy who would never ever, I couldn't leave them alone with them.
Janie got a gun, yesssss
I love the emotion you bring to your reactions...never change!
Yes its about that abuse it hit home for me when this song came out since im a survivor of this
This has to be one of the saddest songs in music history. What It Takes is my favorite Aerosmith.
This is my favorite AeroSmith song. Such a heavy subject matter portrayed so beautifully. I love how the hectic nature of the music itself mimics the feelings Janie must’ve been feeling and her mind patterns.
I am so sorry to hear that you were a victim yourself. That is something we have in common... I pray for your healing...This song helped a lot of people to open up about their own abuse.
Your reaction when it dawned on you what this song was about was truly genuine.
Yes more Aerosmith every reaction is fire!
You got through it girl. Great reaction.
You are really special and I’m so glad you reacted to this video. I haven’t found many. I first saw this video and heard the song on MTV in eighth grade. This reminds me of how many bands and especially rock bands told stories in their songs and made almost movie like videos as MTV was the biggest place to be. We were lucky enough to be able to take all our favorite videos on our VHS tapes and so I played and rewound this video over and over looking for every detail in clue that I could find. I have been suffering sexual abuse from a family member. So proud of Steven Tyler and Aerosmith writing and putting the song together I’m putting this video out there, even one at one time it was banned from the radio until they change some of the lyrics. Steven Tyler eventually started the Janie foundation for abuse victims.
If you haven't done it yet, try "Walk This Way" both the original and the version with RUN DMC.
Absolutely agree!!!!
Walk This Way was written after the 1974 movie Young Frankenstein (Mel Brooks) when the character Igor (pronounced eye gor) said walk this way.
I hate the one without Run DMC tbh.
Pamala Krawchick that’s why we have the option to listen to either- when they came together, that was a big moment in time- and a fantastic one as a teenager! Especially being a fan of both groups-✌️
@@kimberlinibambini1988 I'm a 90's kid and prefer rock. But because of this song, I fell in love with mixed genres!
I have watched several reaction videos to this song and they are always talking about the music/lyrics. Yours was the first to understand the meaning of what the song is conveying. I thank you so much for that. Keep up the great work!
Gotta checkout Copperhead Road by Steve Earle
Oh this song is smokin'!
I've been wanting someone to do this song for ages!!!
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘COPPERHEAD ROAD IS THE SHITTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So for what you went thru, thanks for sharing! Glad this song connected with you!
some of the greatest music ever created , tackles the worst tragedies and traumas , music is the great communicator . thank you for making these videos and reacting to amazing music.
The song was just a start. Steven Tyler and the band started a charity for abused girls named for this song. It's still going strong today.
Peace
I was only into this a few minutes, never seen your channel, and I thank you. Once for the words you spoke to those who suffer, and twice for the fact that you chose Aerosmith. Keep rockin
My all time favorite Aerosmith song. And I can NOT even begin to tell you how many times MTV used to play this video back to back with my favorite Michael Jackson song/music video Smooth Criminal. It was OF-ten. Those 2 songs go together like peanut butter & jelly.
Been a Aerosmith fan since I was about 12 or 13. I'm 42 now, and in that 30 odd years I have heard this song many times, on the radio, t.v. appearances, playing it in my CD player, and i have always loved this song and the sentiment of it, the message. This is the first time that I have heard it in a while though. First time since all the "pizza gate" and #savethechildren started making haleadlines on social media lately. In light of all the child trafficking news lately hearing this song just now really ....REALLY hit me harder than it ever has before!
Look up the songs "No son of mine" by Genesis and "Luka" By Suzanne Vega which are about the same thing.
I'd like to show my appreciation to you for your intelligent and compassionate reaction to this song and its lyrical meaning.
Out of all the reaction channels, your analysis was the best and most thorough.
This song was released when I was a teenager, and we were all speechless.
Steven Tyler, really, is the GOAT for writing this.
Not one single adult or same aged peer I knew at the time had ever heard this subject discussed in music.
Its lyrics were so controversial in the 90s.
It opened many complex conversations about sexual abuse and was groundbreaking.
This song rocked my 8 year old brain when it came out.
The reaction is priceless. Also the song is too. Thanks Aerosmith for the song.
What it takes, hole in my soul, so many good videos
I forget about Hole in my Soul and Falling in love (is hard on the knees). Great picks!
I can say I met Steven in person. He is an amazing guy. So down to earth.
"Everybody is on the run" because everybody was ignoring what was happening, and now they realize their guilt.
He opened a shelter for girls who been thru this. After he did this song. They got so much fan mail telling him how much this song ment to them.
Steven Tyler has said that he read about this in a book and he felt compelled to write a song about it. Now he has an organization that helps Abused women and girls .if I'm not mistaken it's called Jamie's house.
That's the same thing I heard him say, something like he read about the situation and wrote the song about how he would've felt and acted if it was his own baby (I have no idea if Liv had been born yet, I don't know her age, but I would assume yes.)
@@Courdorygirl Liv would have been about 12 or 13, and Mia would have been about 11 or 12 when this came out. I believe he also had a daughter the year this album was released (1989) or very close to it.
This, and the Pat Benatar song, and Luka....they all give me chills to this day. I love Steven for standing up. I so felt your emotions watching you react, new subscriber! 🖤
Directed by David Fincher. He did a bunch of really good music videos before moving over to feature films.
You are a really beautiful and cool person. I ❤️ the way your hair is styled, definitely new subscriber here!
I was 22/23 in 1989 when this song came out. The difference between the 80's and 90's is yes...even though Janie had a gun...she shot her f-Up father....well deserved...the 90's Nirvana...Jeremie..."spoke in class today"...shot up his school, cuz he couldn't handle teenage life. Cuz he got picked on ..waaah 😭 Grunge was the beginning of the end in society along with the internet and technology.
In the "run away from the pain" lines you can literally feel the desperation that a victim trapped must feel. Too young to resist the abuser, nobody believes you and somewhat dependend on the parent(s). Though most of us (luckily) can only imagine what an ordeal this must be. Just thinking about it sends shivers down my spine. So have a close look on your family, friends and neighbors. The signs may be subtle. Also it's worth pointing out that there are anonymous help lines which you can call. It's not worth it to put justice in your own hands.
The sad fact is that it's hard to talk about abuse in the first place. What makes it worse is how often people want to disbelieve you. It's hard. The amount of times I've had to discribe my trauma in detail just to be believed is astounding. Then if you can get a person to believe you, they often don't want to deal. Or worse. They want you to stay silent.
Thanks for sharing your story Aerosmith blind man, full circle,hole in my soul enjoy
This has to be one of, if not the best reactions I've seen you do. Such emotion you put into it.
he dragged this subject into the sunlight, kicking and screaming and there are millions of us who are grateful
I was 15 when this was released and I came from an abusive household. It still makes me tear up.
hi love
Just discovered your videos and I love them! I love how you dissect them and feel them and the expressions you have with every feeling. It's exactly how I feel.
I don’t know when this song came out, but I’m thankful I was part of a generation that grew up still listening to this bad ass music! It made us tougher & helped us deal with our issues through screaming music at the top of our lungs!!!
Toys in the attic/angel/dream on /cryin/
Aerosmith is awesome, thank you for covering this!
This song's vocals and instrumentals are insane!
Steven has a charity for girls who have been trafficked and/or abused. It's named Janies's Fund
This song and video was a huge deal when it came out. A complete vindication for abused children, girls especially. The fact that Aerosmith championed this cause along with Janie's House was gamechanger for awareness.
All fun and games until a reactor reacts to Janies Got A Gun.
Need to do a happy song, perhaps my wedding song Mary Chapin Carpenter’s version of Grow Old Along With Me.
I've heard THIS sooo many times and seen the video countless times BUT, for no reason today it just killed me!! I was balling from the start...
Hits (not just songs, HITS) of theirs MANY over decades!!! Two I don’t often see requested are “Hole in my Soul” and “What it takes.” Fantastic songs!!!! Please be the first to do them India!!❤️💛💟☮️✌️
India Reacts my father did this to me for so many years and no one ever believed me even now I don't think anyone did
I believe you. How old are you? Keep telling until someone does believe you. People close to the situation will want to deny that “this great guy” would do such a thing. Talk to a councilor at school or YWCA... you may save someone else.
I'm 55 and my father is Dead and I just wanted someone to believe me when I was younger and all I got was sent away to my aunt who beat me every single day and told me to say he (her brother) didn't do it I told her to beat me to death cause he did it and I'd rather die than to lie but I confronted my father and walked away just before he died and then I let it go cause I didn't want to live in that pain anymore and thank you for the kind words
I believe you
@@kimberlylopez1476 I believe you!!!.....and anybody who does this kind of BULLSHIT deserve s a bullet!!!....
@@kardon4996 I'm not a victim anymore my father died in 1989 and I can't say I was sad about it but I confronted him when he was sick and I knew that he was going to die in the hospital I got no answers and he asked me what I wanted him to do and I said nothing you won't ever answer to me why you did it but I told him that I forgive him so that I don't carry it through all of my life I swear it felt like a ton of bricks lifted from my shoulders he passed away 3 days later
One of my friends in HS that had a big lawyer dad and mom was an anesthesiologist. Big house and she drove an awesome BMW convertible (and this was in South Florida Ft. Lauderdale area). Her parents lived on the intercoastal and there were lots of parties with little supervision. I stayed there often since my single mom was working a lot. Many envied her life and thought she had it all. Some thought she was mean....but nobody knew the cost of that life that she had to pay..her mom worked often and dad was molesting her while mom willfully ignored. A year after graduation..she went home for break and hung herself on winter break. I still miss her and wish things could have been different.
I still haven't quite figured out why its so interesting and enjoyable watching you react to good, powerful music like this but it really is. Count me a fan.
Give a listen to "I Don't Like Mondays" by the Boomtown Rats.
I choke up a bit when Steven sings “He jacked a little bitty baby” his voice is heartbreaking , like he’s telling this tragic story in frustration(At the dad) to his friends.
Powerful song and powerful words! Those of us who are survivors feel this deeply!! Noooo it Never leaves us! Deep song! SOME MOM’S DO KNOW and don’t protect! Amen ..... we just never know what’s happening in someone’s life so always be kind.
I’m emotionally damaged, but Jesus has me too.
Loved youre true raw emotions in this one. 👍 ~Marz
Love Aerosmith !!! One of my favorite Rock Band from Good Old Boston MA.!! So real :( "Steve and Hamilton wrote these amazing lyrics and he was able to connect the song with the theme of child abuse and incest.[3][4] The singer declared that "I got really angry that nobody was paying homage to those who were abused by Mom and Dad".
Please react to Aerosmith's "Living On The Edge". You'll love it!!! Blessings..... :)
Growing up this song was on the radio all the time. This whole era of rock is ubiquitous for me at this point. I love your reactions by the way! I just discovered your channel. Great video.
First saw this in the golden age of MTV when they played videos nearly exclusively. Really need Steven's screaming for this song. Run away...
AWESOME!!! I've heard it before but I never listened until tonight.
Aerosmith has also got another song about a similar, if not the exact same theme which was released much earlier in their career. "Uncle Salty" from the 1975 album Toys In The Attic. Not as well known as Janie since that was before MTV while Janie is off of "Pump" which was released in 1989, which was pretty much the heyday of MTV and it got a lot of airplay there.
You and those fly's, makes me laugh every time.
The first time I heard this song it gave me a freedom i had never experienced before and it changed me i love Aerosmith for doing this song when i start having thoes days where the memories try to take control i listen to this and realize what they did was wrong and I can move forward thank you for doing this song and I loved watching your reaction to it ❤❤
I can tell by the look on your face, your mind has been blown again!
Hands down my favorite Aerosmith song. Mom saw what was happening and turned a blind eye.
As a survivor myself (dad was a bastard piece ......) sorry, pent up emotions from my youth. This song is a good wake up call for many other, back when it came out and even to this day. Mad respect to Aerosmith.
It broke my heart. I heard this many years ago (I am now 74 years old). I have so much respect for Steven Tyler. He not only was willing to speak out, he actually has done something to help and protect girls who are being abused. Through his foundation, he funds counseling and shelters.
Growing up as a teen in the 80s we hadn’t heard of these stories. We were somewhat oblivious to the pain some kids people) were going through. Then this song came out, it was hugely impactful. It was really the first time this type of abuse was brought into public attention. Aerosmith has to be credited for being awareness to sexual abuse and allowing people to talk about it. I can’t imagine what it must have felt like to live in the 80s and hear this knowing it was your story he was telling. I’m sure it was gut wrenching. To many people it was just a great song. To others it brought awareness. But to some it was their story they couldn’t tell.
Hits me in the gut, the heart... every time.
i first saw Areosmith in 76 ,and i knew they were gifted from the start,i also remember when this was released and how powerful it was ,to think that a great band like this made people aware of such a subject through music.Respect to them .Many thanks for your reaction
I love this song! It has such a big meaning.
Rock music always tells a story!! That’s why millions love it!
Glad I happened to find you young lady..... Thank you for your posts....
Love Aerosmith and this song
You getting it today with those facial expressions = me getting it and rebelling 20+ years ago. :)
First time I heard this I was 5 years old and watching MTV (when there was actually music there)
I was an abused preteen the first time I heard this song and I cried so hard! At 45 yrs old I still do!
Luv u India. Thank you, thank you, thank you for doing this reaction and your wise words.
Aerosmith, yes! These Boston boys wrote great rock songs. This subject matter was a tough one, even in the 90’s to write about,but they did- and true - they opened Janie’s houses to help abuse victims.
Go to their first album, do Dream On 🎼🎶❤️😎
another one the girls loved besides 'Janie's got a gun" was Don Henley's Heart of the matter, a whole different part of healing.
I love this song I myself had a dad just like him. And as a survivor i feel i must say that and the fact that so many abuse survivors aren't believed or are even too afraid to speak up is part of why I joined Protect Every Child or P.E.C . P.E.C was under the name Protect LDS Children by Sam Young. Sam founded it in an effort to stop sexually explicit questions being asked of children in one on one interviews in the Mormon Church aka LDS Church. Our groups mission kinda snowballed from there and now we're working to stop these interviews. We're also fighting against all forms of child abuse. And fighting to give survivors a voice. Sam unfortunately was excommunicated (kicked out) of the church for his work and many myself included have left because of it and because so much is being covered up.
Sorry for going on so much but India thank you for reacting to this video👍👍.
Also some interesting things about this video.
1. It was directed by Critically Acclaimed movie director David Fincher. I like that he was able to not just make a music video but that he made look like a real crime drama.
2. The Mom is played by Oscar Winner Lesley Anne Warren. Lesley l, Christopher Guest who played the abuser and Kristen Dattilo who played Janie did an incredible job in this video and helped bring a very serious issue international attention.
3. Lastly Steven Tyler Aerosmiths lead singer has since founded "Janie's Place" a shelter for sexually abused teens 👍👍for that Steven.
this is one of my fave aerosmith song
Love your reactions! You are such a beautiful and sweet lady.
This song makes me cry because there are really people out there like this.
