Aerosmith - Legendary Child (2012 Rock)

The music video for the song was originally shot on May 3, 2012 and was to feature clips of the band with footage from G.I. Joe: Retaliation mixed in. Just before performing the song on the American Idol finale on May 23, 2012, Paramount Pictures announced that G.I. Joe: Retaliation was getting delayed until 2013 so it could be converted to 3D. This resulted in a halt on the release of the music video until a decision could be made about what to do. On June 2, 2012, actress Alexa Vega announced via Twitter that she would be starring in the video and two days later, director Casey Patrick Tebo tweeted that Vega's scenes had just finished filming. Tebo continued to tweet through June that the video was done and the release date was in Sony's hands. Finally, on July 10, 2012, the music video was released via Vevo and YouTube. The video opens with voice actor Ed Weigle doing a tongue-in-cheek retrospective of the group's checkered past.
