Aerosmith "Get a Grip" cassette tape

In the age of Alternative, Tyler, Perry and the fellas were anything but. They got bigger and harder and softer all at the same time. They made ridiculous videos fro ridiculous power ballads with one word titles like “Cryin” and “Amazing” and “Crazy.” And — you know what — that is what they did best. It wasn’t the rockers that they nailed, it was the mellow drama of the ballads. The Alicia Silverstone and Liv Tyler videos may have been terribly problematic, but the songs were anything but.
