<P> In the Run--D.M.C. cover, a turntable and drum machine are added in to reflect the additional hip hop influence on the record . Both the original Aerosmith version and the Run--D.M.C. cover (featuring Tyler and Perry) appear on various Aerosmith compilations as well as Run - D.M.C. albums . </P> <P> The song is featured on the video game series Just Dance 2015 . </P> <P> The 1986 music video for "Walk This Way" symbolically placed a rock band and Run--D.M.C. in a musical duel in neighboring studios before Steven Tyler literally breaks through the wall that separates them . The video then segues to the bands' joint performance on stage . The highly popular video was the first hip hop hybrid video ever played in heavy rotation on MTV and is regarded as a classic of the medium . The video was directed by Jon Small and filmed at the Park Theater in Union City, New Jersey . The theater has remained largely unchanged since the video was filmed . Visitors may notice two holes in the ceiling toward the front of the stage where a light fixture was meant to be installed for the shoot . </P> <P> Aside from Tyler and Perry, none of the other rock musicians in the video are the Aerosmith members; instead, they were played by Roger Lane, J.D. Malo, and Matt Stelutto--respectively rhythm guitarist, bassist, and drummer of the largely unknown hair metal outfit Smashed Gladys . According to VH1's Pop Up Video, Run--D.M.C. could not afford to use the entire Aerosmith band, just Tyler and Perry . As only Tyler and Perry had traveled to record the cover with Run--D.M.C., they were the only real Aerosmith members to appear in the video . </P>
