gorch Posted November 25, 2023 Author Posted November 25, 2023 No Mean City had always been my favorite album. I loved the dark side of it.

I think he did an adequate job filling-in for Joe. But let's face it, there's only 1 Joe Perry. Let's face it, Aerosmith without JP is like the Stones without Keef. Just my opinion, mind you.

Rock in a Hard Place was trashed by everyone for years but I thought it was great from the first time I heard it. Jailbait and Lightning Strikes are a killer one-two punch opening, and I really liked the cover of Cry Me a River. The riffing in Bolivian Ragamuffin and Bitch's Brew was very much the Aeromith "thing". Over the years I've noticed more people are saying they like it. I have some live bootlegs of the tour with Jimmy and Rick and they played all the old stuff just fine. I don't know how Crespo never ended up in some other big successful band after that. Another great album to check out is Whitford/St. Holmes - Reunion from 2015. There are songs on there that sound more like Aerosmith than Aerosmith has in 40 years.
