The Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia reportedly said they were 'the druggiest bunch of guys I've ever seen.' Jimmy Crespo replaced Joe Perry during those five years. The band enjoyed major popularity throughout the 1970's, with rock anthems like 'Dream On' - but they split from 1979-84 due to serious substance abuse and drug addictions that contributed to their decline.
Later they met up with Joey Kramer (drums) and Brad Whitford (rhythm guitar). In 1970, the three decided they would form a band together, and that Boston, Massachusetts would be the place to do it.
Three of the members, Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, and Tom Hamilton had originally met in Sunapee, New Hampshire in the late 60's, but had not yet formed a band together. For the casual fan, Aerosmith's Greatest Hits or the 2001 edition, Aerosmith's Greatest Hits 1973-1988, will do the job.Aerosmith is a prominent American rock band. The only questionable selection is the forgettable "Remember (Walking in the Sand)," but nine of the songs are bona fide classics - "Dream On," "Same Old Song and Dance," "Sweet Emotion," "Walk This Way," "Last Child," "Back in the Saddle," and "Draw the Line." Also featured is their venomous cover of the Beatles' "Come Together," previously only available as a single and on the soundtrack to the 1978 movie Sgt. Since there would be a three-year gap between 1979's Night in the Ruts and 1982's Rock in a Hard Place, Aerosmith's Greatest Hits was assembled, more or less, to fill the void and buy the band some time. With original guitarist Joe Perry gone (and Brad Whitford soon to follow), Aerosmith had turned into a directionless, time-consuming ghost of its former self. But when it was originally issued, the band had just about reached its nadir. alone since its release, and a 2001 digital remastering bolstered it to 17 tracks. The 1980 compilation Aerosmith's Greatest Hits remains one of the most popular and enduring best-of collections by any rock band, selling nearly ten million copies in the U.S.
