Aerosmith was scoring big and soaring high, and working on a new album that was bound to, "blow the worlds mind". As for Guns and Roses, they were really up there too! Sweet Child O'Mine scored big on the charts, and they were working up a storm in the studio for a few months, then off on a plane for shows and interviews.
Aerosmith was in the process of writing in Massachusetts in a studio for another album; since it was a new year it was going to be a fresh new album. I guess you could call it downtime from going on the road, but there was a hell of a lot of work to do if they were going to complete a full album this year and then start touring the album at the end of the year. So I waited until the tracks were finished, and then after that, we would be creating some smashing wardrobes for the  music videos that would be put on MTV
" Ok so the thing is that if this was our first record it would be FINE but if you put a track on an album like this the fans are gonna go, 'well FINE, what does that mean?" Joe and Steven had called from the studio they were working in for their new album, and were deeply discussing and debating a title for it and some feedback on what they had done so far.
" And then someone would say, 'cause it's fucked up, neurotic, and emotional, that's what it stands for. And everybody will go 'ohh' now I know why they did that."
" It's a chance, that's all...its out fourteenth record and everything else has been literal. What does it really matter what we call it so why not have some fucking fun with it?"
" Uh, okay...well what are the verdicts you have so far?"
" Pretty fifty fifty-"
" Why are we even asking anyway?" Joe scoffed, as he grew really impatient with bringing this album together.
" Opinions can be important...and you said you wanna call this album...pump?"
" Yeah, ain't it great?"
" Thats pretty charming I guess, I can already think of who thought of that title." I chuckled.
" Ok now tell me...what do you think of when you hear pump?"
" I don't know...some sort of thrust....a climax? Is that what you're going for?"
" You bet your booty it is...two trucks fucking eachother."
" I hope to God I misheard you Steven..."
" You heard me!" He cackled.
" Okay but even so how the hell does that even work?"
" Hmm... I'll have to send you the artwork for album."
" Good, good...I mean it's your call...your the artists for Christ sakes. If it makes sense to you, and it compliments the artwork and then asthetic of the sound and the theme...then yeah, I'm with you guys why not have fun with it. But then again what do I know, I'm a twenty three year old youngster..."
" Yeah...but I know that your experienced either way..."
I laughed, " Call me when you've got ideas for you next smashing music video, I gotta bounce."
