@melovesteventyler A little research of when AS's singles & albums were Certified Gold would show you it wasn't "such a commercial failure" at the outset. Lightning Strikes as a single did as well as Sweet Emotion, and better than Back In The Saddle, Draw The Line & Last Child, for e.g. when it came out. RIAHP did better than the Get Your Wings album when it came out; that album took 11 yrs to be Gold, RIAHP took 7 yrs. ctnd...
@Grendelmonster8u ...ctnd. But people go back & buy those early albums, so Get Your Wings eventually went Platinum, but new fans didn't buy RIAHP & Done With Mirrors...they've never gone Platinum. Night In The Ruts took 14 yrs to be certified by the RIAA as Platinum. Gold means "high sales." Aerosmith's 1st album took 11 yrs to be Gold. It's just that it didn't EVENTUALLY sell as well as those old albums w/ new fans buying them. So not a huge failure by no means. (:
@IPlayHardNA30 Like I said to the other person, Jack Douglas is also credited on this song and the song RIAHP. "Lightning Strikes" is credited only to Richard Supa and the single went #21 on Billboard, better than Back In The Saddle & Same Old Song & Dance, Draw The Line singles when those came out.
@IPlayHardNA30 Don't need Honolulu b/c SueEllen has it all nive together in a playlist. Syracuse and San Antonio, yes! Thanks. She also uploaded Yarmouth, MA in 1883 and Ventura, CA in '83. Take a look at those, I comment on all of them. ((:
@IPlayHardNA30 Oh, about knowing stuff...I just work Google, read, and try to put it all together before commenting. Not always right, but I cross-reference a lot. It's pretty easy to do online... would have never known it in the past, such as in the 80s with no Internet. Heck, finding lyrics in the past was hard if they weren't in the record. Now I can learn so much in a short time. (;
Last year Jimmy was playing with Dee Snider in a Vegas/A.C. Rock thang, I would love to know where Rick Dufay is, that line-up was cool & Fucked up, saw them BLOW Journey out of the water..........I'll ask Derek St. Holmes where Rick is......
Rock In A Hard Place was a greatly underrated album. It was a breath of fresh, sweet air in an era of formula pop. As long as Aerosmith was still playing, there was still hope!
this album is on the bootlegmarket;>known as "PURE GOLD "it has a darkbrown sleeve,gold capitals,with a photo of Perry/Tyler in their classic Richards/Jagger-pose(hahaha).The album containd unknown tracks and mistakes all the way
I have created the ULTIMATE Aerosmith playlist! Just click on my account and got to playlists. Theres a TON of artists there! I have a playlist full of nothing but Aerosmith music vids and live shows AND one with over 40 rare tracks from Aerosmith! Check it out!
sounds like karaoke version... ooh i love this song & i love rock in a hard place, one of best cds!! i think it's some kinda continuation of prelude to joanie...
RIAHP did havea few light gems hidden within, its too bad they didn't dive too deep into this alternative writing you don't find, or really associate with Aerosmith.
Cool pics but how about some of guitarist who wrote this, Jimmy Crespo? I love Rock in a Hard Place! Better than anythong Aerosmith has put out int he last 10 years...
@Aerorobbs This is a great live version alright, but.. no Crespo Pics! i have a few in my videos, they're pretty neat too.. one of him in sound testing for the chiquita music video.. love it! :D
Very Nice!! I'm glad you put the pictures of Joe in even though he was 'on hiatus' lol. Aerosmith still rocks and this is cool to take somthing nice from one of their (self-admitted) worst albums.Thanks for posting!

Impressive, It sounds better than the album, perhaps because there are no vocals, I am quite suprised by how good this is. Where did it come from?

Listen carefully to when the electric guitar comes in (1:40 on this video). This is definitely a different version than the album version.
