Rock in a Hard Place专辑介绍

1982年的专辑《Rock in a Hard Place》使 Aerosmith 在音乐上、商业上遭到空前的失败,在走了 Joe Perry(guitars)和 Brad Whitford(guitars)两位之后,Jimmy Crespo(guitars)和 Rick Dufay(guitars)的加盟并未给人们带来惊喜,乐队在录音棚里试图增加在音乐上的实验性,用以维持乐队在乐坛上的地位,效果显然很不明显。由于独奏生涯的不顺利,Joe Perry 和 Brad Whitford 于1984年重新回到了 Aerosmith。

Rock in a Hard Place is the seventh studio album by American hard rock band Aerosmith, released on August 1, 1982 on Columbia. It is the only Aerosmith album not to feature guitarist Joe Perry, following his departure from the band in 1979. The band spent $1.5 million on the recording of this album.
Rhythm guitarist Brad Whitford left the band during its recording in 1981. Whitford is billed as an "additional musician", and can be heard playing rhythm guitar on "Lightning Strikes." This was also Aerosmith's last studio album released on Columbia Records until 1997.
Despite the album's negative reviews, drummer Joey Kramer asserts in his 2009 autobiography, Hit Hard: A Story of Hitting Rock Bottom at the Top: "the record doesn't suck. There's some real good stuff on it. But it's not a real Aerosmith record because it's just me, Steven, and Tom - with a fill-in guitar player. It's Jimmy Crespo doing the guitar work."
