This week, Doc and Mac sink their teeth into Get a Grip, the 1993 monster hit that cemented Aerosmith’s second coming.
From “Cryin’” to “Crazy” to “Livin’ on the Edge,” the boys break down the hits, the hype, and the horniness. Was it pure rock ’n’ roll magic or a slick, MTV-fueled sellout?
They debate whether Get a Grip still packs a punch three decades later—while sipping on the perfect cocktail pairing to match the album’s swagger.
