The Gap Aerosmith (commercial, 1999)

The Gap ran a series of commercials featuring dancing and singing in front of a white background. These were popular and led to several spin-offs, including variants for Christmas, kids gap and this celebrity musician series.
This one features Aerosmith (Steve Tyler and Joe Perry) putting together a few notes on guitar, drums and harmonica. This was selling The Gap's "easy fit jeans" which were The Gap's version of the oversized jeans style of the late 90s and early 2000s.
This spot aired during the episode "Screaming Yellow Honkers" of The Simpsons on FOX on Sunday, February 21st, 1999.

I found this because of Your Favorite Band Sucks

[@theeecandlemaker2197]

Dude your favorite band sucks!

[@carlosalbertoestradasantiago]

This commercial sucks.

[@shawnyewest3966]

Same I play it on mic in call of duty all the time drives people crazy

[@joequinn3234]

Same

[@debonaire_nerd]

More like your favourite clothing label sucks.

[@jillianallen4252]

You can tell Joe wants to laugh at the end xD

[@nicholasemerson9852]

You can tell Joe wants to do some heroine

[@billyjack4131]

This aired in '97 bro. Same year as Aerosmith dropped their Nine Lives album. I remember cause I bought it that day it was released.

[@curb_fiend]

Did you end up getting your money back?

[@AntoniusReginaldus]

At first I was going to agree with 97 but I agree with 99 now based on where I living, and I remember seeing it in a place I would soon be leaving in 1999. Did it air for at least 2 years? It felt like it was brand new when I saw it in 1999.

"Joe Perry--Oohh Mr Style!"

[@johnnyrocker7495]

Some kinda human bee... Buzz a while!

[@clodge5196]

Damn I forgot about this commercial haven't seen it since the '90s

[@RustyNickels]

Steven Tyler is both both terrifying and hilarious at the same time.

[@debonaire_nerd]

A duo and a white backdrop.
This is probably what inspired Jack and Meg.

[@thomaslarson438]

Maybe! the only Difference is Steven and Joe have talent!

[@hadrosaurus]

nope

[@zackspiker_]

Steven Tyler looks like claymation.

[@155michaelx]

that was 1997 i distinctly remember

[@billyjack4131]

Yup I remember. Gap had a string of some pretty cool commercials that year. This being the coolest.

[@hectormendoza5660]

Yoooo i was suitin up for elementary when this was on tv

[@troyalexander8228]

I remember just having started playing the bass as a 14 year old. I saw this commercial and thought the way they jammed and improved was outta this world. Doesn't matter that it's a gap commercial. They are artists creating awesomeness with seemingly such ease

[@lyneicehaynes4922]

Steven Tyler looks like a beautiful cat.

[@Wegetsu]

Beautiful? More like a dead cat.

[@NeoPenny]

im sure this commercial ran between 97 and 98, i dont think it ran in 1999....

[@chichilecure]

NeoPenny 1998. I was 14 and it was during their Nine Lives tour that I went to 😁

[@michaelnaughtin9633]

Your sure but what about the fact

[@pobreduende]

It was 1997. You can tell here that the ad was already out by October 97'

He’s using a D harmonica in second position. Also, this commercial gave me nightmares as a child.
