Aerosmith's Ten Worst Moments

• Dude, you are clueless on 'smith! Done With Mirrors, Rock in a Hard Place are both Excellent albums for the faithful--and you are right, No hits. The first time I saw them was on the Rock in a Hard Place tour with Pat Travers--Crespo and Dufay were excellent--incidentally Crespo commited career suicide by convincing Tyler and Perry to patch things up--oh and he sired Minka Kelly (Schwing!). Say what you want, but we all have our low moments--and you are entitled to your opinion. Even if it makes you look like a complete jackass...

• 100% correct! Rock in a Hard Place was Aerosmith's last hard rock album, and it was a great album, at least the first side of it. Jailbait, Bolivian Ragamuffin, and Lightning Strikes put Aerosmith in a different category at the time. They had a metal feel to them. For me, an Aerosmith fan from the beginning, after that album, it was all downhill. They wanted to be played on the radio afterward, and sold out. Long gone were the days of Rocks, Toys In the Attic, Night in the Ruts, and Rock in a Hard Place, as they ruined their later years in my opinion. Did not purchase one Aerosmith album after Pump, it all was too weak!

• <p>Drug Abuse and Guitar Hero belong in this list.<br /> The rest of the article is crap.</p>

• <p>I can't believe you guys are taking this article seriously. It's obviously a joke about a highly successful band, parodying similar lists in that vein.</p> <p>Also, who are you to criticize?</p> <p>Are you guys getting paid to provide your opinion for a newspaper?</p> <p>Probably not. </p> <p>Anon out.</p>

• <p>This is one of the most ridiculous pieces of writing I have ever read. </p> <p>Have you even listened to the album Rock In A Hard Place which you pan? Then attacking Crespo? There are 15 year olds who can provide better critical analysis and more informed opinion than this tripe. </p> <p>"Oh it's not Joe Perry and Brad Whitford". I can only shake my head at the stupidity and lack of cogency in your arguments. <br /> </p>

• <p>John LaBarbera...c'mon..you can do better than this, can't you. This peice of crap you call an article is full of a bunch of nothing. NO SUBSTANCE!</p> <p>I can't believe your editor would pay you for such an obvious lack of writing ability.</p> <p>Did you ever hear Jimmy Crespo play? He was the one shining star during that time period.</p> <p>And to say that Rick Dufay's problem is that he isn't Brad Whitford?..That is every guitar players problem. Brad Whitford is the man but Rick did just fine in that incarnation of the band.</p> <p>Rock in a Hard Place was a good album. What ruined it was Steven Tylers innability to write a lyric at the time. Crespo was a brilliant writer and player.</p>

• <p>Sorry for all you cats who want to see Aerosmith redo rocks over and over and over and over and....... It ain't gonna happen -----Frank! Concerning quality, Pump was a masterpiece and Nine lives was probably the best tour I ever saw them on; and I've been there since 78. If you actually listen to the Aerosmith albums, Frank, you will find genius on every one of them. Yeah I know it ain't born to run, but that's why we listen to Aerosmith. We ain't into moderate toe tappin tunes. Yeah they have started to write too many ballads, but hey, when you finally get the recognition you deserved for a slow tune, you kind of want to keep your momentum. (Those ballads are great songs by the way.) That's just business.<br /> Crespo and Dufay were awesome. Dufay was like watching Joe and the two of them on the same stage would have been charisma overload. Rock in a hard place was equally awesome and if you read blabbermouth, you would know that most Aeroheads feel that was their last hard rock album, albeit they are wrong. That album showed that Tyler, even wasted, still had the goods and If you think cry me a river is not grammy worthy, then I just don't care. Likewise, the reason a dog, shame on you and darkness from done with mirrors were just great songs that should have gotten tons of airplay yet we had to listen to the likes of bruce, pink floyd, petty, and god knows what other lame preppy music was going on at the time. Sgt. peppers showed how lame frampton and the bee gees were compared to the boyz in that flick. Geez now ya got me started. Aerosmith forever.</p>

• <p>Aerosmith reminds me of McDonald's. Their popularity is measured only in how much crap they sell, not in the quality of their product.<br /> Also, you could do a follow up titled "Aerosmith's 10 Best Moments" and they would probably be indistinguishable from their 10 worst moments.</p>
