Doc Coyle (Bad Wolves) has shared a “Falling Down”-inspired video for his newly released cover of Aerosmith’s “Livin’ On The Edge.” You can check that out below:
Coyle commented:
“The story of how I came to cover Aerosmith’s classic tune ‘Livin’ On The Edge’ is a peculiar one. l am a massive Aerosmith fan, but as an avid teenage MTV viewer, I truly identify with the records they made during the ’90s. During the pandemic, I recorded an instrumental of the song for Bad Wolves, but we didn’t have a singer. It was suggested that I lay down vocals for the song. I was intimidated but also enthused by the opportunity. Ultimately, the band did not want to release the song, so I decided to keep it for myself.
Stemming from who knows where came a vision of making a music video of the song based on the 1993 film ‘Falling Down.’ The film took a dark path, but I wanted to repurpose the themes for something more positive. The song conjured feelings of adventure and empowerment. Take everything that went bad in the film, and flip it. I wanted to recreate the journey of the original film as much as possible.
The song and the video represent a new chapter for me. l wanted to take something familiar and make it my own, while still paying homage to the original. I think I’ve accomplished that with this release.”
