Kurt Loder: Welcome back to Opening Act. We're moments away from the 1998 Video Music Awards and here with me, nominated for four awards tonight, Aerosmith. Guys - you guys are nominated for "Pink" and for "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing." Which one are you most rooting for to win? If it just has to be one.

(The boys confer with one another, looking confused)

Kurt Loder: Lets say, which child do you like best?

Steven Tyler: "Pink"! The very L.A. of it!

Kurt: OK, so you don't want to go the power ballad route, you want kinda the rock feel.

Steven: Oh yeah!

Kurt: OK - how's the health of the band? Is everybody OK...how's your knee?

Steven: Everything's a beautiful thing.

Kurt: Could you flex it for us?

Steven: (Flexing knee) I had to do some 'severious vaneuvering' to get into this position this morning, but I'm back.

Kurt: Is everybody else OK?

Brad Whitford: Everybody's fine - Joey's good.

Kurt: Where are you going from here?

Brad: To...uh...Camden, New Jersey tomorrow night.

Kurt: Good, good, good. And you've got a live album coming out right?

Steven: Yes we do. "A Little South Of Sanity." Which kinda depicts this whole situation here, wouldn't ya' think Kurt?

Kurt: Huh?...Oh, yeah-yeah! OK, well we wish you all well. We'll see you out there on the road. Now, I think he got the Beastie Boys - John (Norris)?
