Storytelling in music videos is a lost art. American hard rock band Aerosmith, who's been around since the late 1960s, is a band that hasn't forgotten how it's supposed to be done. In these three Aerosmith music videos from the band's middle and late periods, we don't just get a picture of how badass the Bad Boys from Boston still are, but a better idea of what the songs are actually about.

Jaded (2000)
Rating: 4/5

Two words: Mila Kunis. In this video by Francis Lawrence, we see how the 'Jaded' girl who's lost the ability to feel sees the world; essentially, she's the only freak in a sea of normalcy, where people who love seem to be all made up and capable of amazing feats. Off the album Just Push Play, 'Jaded' talks to the audience about how those who have become incapable of feeling are considered social outcasts, as if it's deviant, not subscribing to what is essentially an emotional circus. And come on, what red-blooded male wouldn't want to make Mila Kunis capable of loving again?

Janie's Got A Gun (1990)
Rating: 4/5

Directed by the great David Fincher of Fight Club fame, 'Janie's Got A Gun,' off the album Pump, is a prelude to what would later become a trademark of Fincher's movies. The video is dark and gloomy, with the scenes being very cinematic in nature. Fincher's style works well with story of a daughter who's led to murder after a father's worst sin, and we feel for Janie and the tragic end of her story.

In the video for 'Crazy' from the album Get A Grip, director Marty Callner tells the story of the girls that guys just can't keep away from. Alicia Silverstone and Steven Tyler's own baby girl Liv personify the bad girls, those who get away with anything they want just because they're young and naturally rebellious. With that streak of good wholesome fun (at least from what we see), the girls are the type that we only wish we could bring home to our mothers.

With the band's recent break up, we're hoping that Aerosmith will still return and give us more music videos with sories well told.
