"We're living on the edge!" "We are living on a knife edge, move to the abyss." Although Aerosmith had left in 1993. Its very wild times already long behind him, they knew well exactly what she told in her hit "Livin 'On The Edge" from the "Get A Grip" album. Behind them was a time of self-destruction, the excessive drug use and a resulting lack of ideas. By the mid-80s it was but they managed to turn away from this path which would have led to the abyss. The songs, which the Americans presented themselves in the last 10 years and are perhaps also a result of its now refined way of life, my opinion is not always among the most enjoyable variety, were sometimes a little embarrassed (I think for example of the pale and kitschy "I Do not Wanna Miss a Thing"). The album "Get A Grip" but still relatively little to do with such things. While here can be already partly quite soppy ballads, such as "Amazing" or "Crazy", discover, total solid rock is the listener, however, offered, not least because one in the early 90s like back was referring to the '70s, a little will sound like Aerosmith in their early songs. And indeed you will find on "Get A Grip" even some beads that are pretty timeless and moreover beautifully. The aforementioned "Livin 'On The Edge" was next to "High Hopes" by Pink Floyd in 1994 my personal hit of the year. And, although I of classic rock n 'roll-trailer'm not. It was composed just awesome and has remained an evergreen for me. But the song "Eat The Rich", "Flesh" and "Walk On Down" are more than just passable ditty. They show that Aerosmith are really good musicians and composers. Therefore, the thumb goes with me quite clearly upwards, connected with desire, that perhaps once a similar good album by the five musicians will be published - if they have not forgotten it since.
