About

Aerosmith's mid-career resurgence continued unabated into the '90s, thanks to the snake-charming hard-rock master class of <i>Get a Grip</i>. Jagged guitars and fuzzed-out grooves jump-start the upper-class-skewering "Eat the Rich,” while "Fever" is an old-school rock ‘n’ roll rave-up, and Joe Perry's smokestack-blues guitar solo on "Cryin'" ranks among his best. Then there's the propulsive "Livin' On the Edge," a gritty power ballad decked with snarling guitar waves, cascading harmonies, and freewheeling, boogie-woogie sass.

Many songs were written and recorded for the album that were either used as B-sides or never released. "Don't Stop" and "Head First" were released as B-sides, as well as "Can't Stop Messin'", which also appears on several special editions of the album as an addition in the track list. Other songs were listed on the official Aerosmith website in the late 1990s. "Black Cherry", "Devil's Got A New Disguise", "Dime Store Lover", "Legendary Child", "Lizard Love", "Meltdown", "Rocket 88", "Wham Bam", and "Yo Momma" were listed on the lyrics page of the website.
In 2005, Kalodner confirmed the existence of several of the songs above, as well as "Trouble", "Strange", "13", and "Keep On Movin'". "Deuces Are Wild" was possibly recorded again during these sessions. Several songs are also listed on copyright repertoires, including "Ain't Gonna Break My Heart", "Good Thang", and "Jake". These songs can be traced to the year 1991. Reworked versions of "Devil's Got A New Disguise", "Deuces Are Wild", "Lizard Love", and "Legendary Child" have since been released on various albums and soundtracks.
