Night in the Ruts is one of my favorite Aerosmith albums! Reefer Headed Woman, Three Mile Smile, Coney Island Whitefish and Think About It such great songs.
I’m actually kind of glad Joe left Aerosmith, cause we got the Joe Perry Project, and those very fine first two albums, that proved again just how talented he really is!❤🎸😎👍
@ Especially that almost perfect first album , “Let The Music Do The Talking” except for a couple tracks towards the end it’s all killer and it’s excellent followup “I’ve Got The RocknRoll’s Again” Joe was totally killing it❤️🎸😎👍
@tryghanson3260 Hnmmm? Yes and no! He had plenty of help most notably from Joe Perry lookalike/stand-in Jimmy Crespo who helped deliver instant classics like Jailbait, Bolivian Ragamuffin and easily the album's highlight Lightning Strikes but the album doesn't stray far from Aerosmith's classic sound, again with help from producer Jack Douglas❤️😎👍
Saw Aerosmith for my very first live concert, about three weeks after "Toys In The Attic" was released in 1975, in Manchester, New Hampshire. It was a "homecoming" show for the boys, and they kicked it HARD. In the summer of 1985 they performed a "reunion" concert at The Manning Bowl in Lynn, Massachusetts, I was one of about 20,000 folks who attended, it was also broadcast on the local Boston Music TV channel, called V66. There is some video of this show, but it is very poor. Saw A-Smith ten times between 1975 and 2001, always a great show.
Jimmy Crespo played lead guitar on Three Mile Smile and Richie Supa played lead guitar on No Surprise and Mia. They did such a good job that nobody knew at the time it wasn't Joe Perry playing lead guitar. Incidentally Richie Supa wrote or co-wrote several Aerosmith songs, Chip Away The Stone, Lighting Strikes, Amazing and Pink just to name a few. Checking out his versions of some of those songs is worth a listen.
1978 Joe Perry and Aerosmith Was Scheduled To Play The Los Angeles Forum Joe Stopped By The BCRich Guitar Shop To Pick Up a Few Guitars He Said To Me Aerosmith is Gonna Play The Starwood Club In Hollywood Before The Forum Gig on Sunday Under The Name Dr. Jones and The Interns Well I Saw 👀 That Show and Aerosmith Opened Up With The Beatles Song Helter Skelter and Come Together It Was a Great Show….It Wasn’t Much Longer That Joe Perry Left and I Got To Meet Jimmy Crespo He Said Aerosmith Can 🎈Party 🎉
At the time, yes, the stuff you talked about was going on, I heard that Joe Perry had written a song as an instrumental. Columbia asks Tyler to write lyrics and lay down the vocals to that track. With everything else that was going on, that could have been the last straw. Aerosmith really was "Rock in a Hard place" without Joe Perry.
Nice anniversary review of Night in the ruts John! I haven't heard this one myself, but I know there was a lot of problems recording this album and there was a lot of tensions. Shame Joe Perry left after this but it all turned out good in the end. I'll have to check this one out, there's a few of their 70's albums I haven't listened to yet, cheers! 😁🤘🏻
@jcrockandmetalreviews Cool thanks man, I have got the debut, Toys in the attic and Rocks. Still got this one, Get your wings and Draw the line to check out. Wouldn't mind checking out the one they did after this one too. Yeah, I'm not too interested in the late 80's/early 90's ones. Cheers 😁🤘🏻
February is loaded in terms of releases as on the 7th [same weekend as Dream Theater, Majestica and Jinjer], Obscura is back with their seventh album, A Sonication, and on the 21st, the metalcore legends Killswitch Engage will be releasing their ninth studio album, entitled This Consequence, which will be the band's first album in six years since 2019.
I saw the Joe Perry Project on Let the Music do the Talking album tour. I've actually seen hundreds of Rock concerts, that show still ranks as one of the loudest outdoor shows I've ever seen. They were the headliner for a show called Rocket Bowl in Wichita Falls, Tx. Point Blank, Black Horse and John Kays Steppen Wolf rounded out the show. I was there for Joe. Ended up getting a MnG to meet Aerosmith on the Get a Grip tour in Okc. Surreal to get to talk with them.
Hi John!!! this is an album i have not heard yet..... just discover the band with their big cameback album in the 90's. Now i think the band was tired and you can't expect good thing when you have a 9 tracks record and three are covers!!! Maybe the band needed this crisis and Perry leaving the band was the "right" thing to happen and helped them for their second part of their career. cheers and be well
Yeah that's true this band was in a really bad place when they were making this, but despite all of that, I think it holds up pretty well, it's actually pretty good.
I love 6 of the 9 songs... No Surprise may be my #1 favorite song of all time. The cover of Reefer Headed Woman is OK, but I can certainly do without the cover of Remember and the MIA ballad. Overall, a great album in my book.
I loved it when it came out. I think I was 16 or 17. Draw the Line only had two great songs on it. The title track and Kings and Queens. Night in the Ruts was a much better record in my opinion, and I played the crap out of it.
Night In the Ruts is to Aerosmith what Diver Down is to Van Halen. In both cases, the record company pressured the band for a new album even though they didn’t have enough new material. Hence all the cover songs.
Joe Perry did an FM radio interview in Detroit with a DJ named Steve Kostan soon after he left Aerosmith. I remember Joe said he left the band because of the song Mia. Joe had been working up songs with a rehearsal band, which later became the Joe Perry Project, and he felt most of his songs were better than Mia, and he was resentful Mia made it on the album. Additionally, he said, almost all the songs on Night In The Ruts were old songs. He clarified that by saying Aerosmith had been working off and on on some of those songs for almost two years. He said that he wasn't interested in going on tour for 18 months and playing nothing that to him was really fresh new material. He said he was more excited about playing his new songs with his rehearsal band, so he left Aerosmith and they formed the Joe Perry Project. They recorded Let The Music Do The Talking and went out on tour. Over the years, I've heard at least a half dozen other reasons why he left Aerosmith, but this is basically what he was saying at the time.
Out of all the albums between the first one and "permanent vacation," "draw the line" was the worst one .. "night in the ruts" really isn't that bad at all ! It's right up there with the first 4 albums.
Joe Perry is on every track except for the solo on three mile smile Mia and some of no surprize. Joe plays the solos on think about it and reefer headed woman they were playing that live on the 1979 shows
My sister went to that World Series of Rock. I was only 10, so I didn't make it. From all the clips I've seen, AC/DC stole the show. There's also some good stuff about Aerosmith visiting the WMMS radio station.
The reason it wasn't popular is because Joe Perry left the band, so the tour was undermined and they didn't get the same kind of sales from touring. Tyler and Perry were also a mess. This album is great.
In cleveland during the "world series of rock", they literally fought over spilled milk! Can you believe that, somebody in the band spilled the milk on joe perry's girl. This happened at a time when tensions were extremely high in the band.
Yeah I could see that happening. The problem was that this band was in a really bad place at the time. They really needed a break and to get clean and sober.
Why do so many podcasters, not unlike JC, speak and look so bizarre? Just wondering why bland, low-key, normal folks rarely go into the podcast business.
By left, you mean, went out for smokes and to take a crap, only to be with the band for another 40 years. Cmon, dude, you obviously have a lot of knowledge. You don't need clickbait titles.
Night in the Ruts is one of my favorite Aerosmith albums! Reefer Headed Woman, Three Mile Smile, Coney Island Whitefish and Think About It such great songs.
Yes I agree. I have always liked this album.
I’m actually kind of glad Joe left Aerosmith, cause we got the Joe Perry Project, and those very fine first two albums, that proved again just how talented he really is!❤🎸😎👍
Yeah that's true
Yes! I love his early solo albums! Such great riffs!
@ Especially that almost perfect first album , “Let The Music Do The Talking” except for a couple tracks towards the end it’s all killer and it’s excellent followup “I’ve Got The RocknRoll’s Again” Joe was totally killing it❤️🎸😎👍
And we got Rock in a Hard Place, Tyler's 1st "solo" album.
@tryghanson3260 Hnmmm? Yes and no!

Thanks, yes that's cool. I knew they were a few songs that Joe Perry didn't play on.
Like many I call this album 'Right In The Nuts' it is a great album Jimmy Crespo stepped up the the plate and delivered very well.
Yeah that's kind of funny I never thought of that. Someone else commented that before as well

That's a great story

Yeah if you want to get into Aerosmith I recommend their first five or six albums after that they went into more of a commercial direction.
@jcrockandmetalreviews Cool thanks man, I have got the debut, Toys in the attic and Rocks. Still got this one, Get your wings and Draw the line to check out. Wouldn't mind checking out the one they did after this one too. Yeah, I'm not too interested in the late 80's/early 90's ones. Cheers 😁🤘🏻

That's awesome
You can tell by sound and style it’s Joe Perry on the two covers
My first Rock concert was The Joe Perry Project...in the Laconia Middle School auditorium.
That's so cool.
Hi John!!! this is an album i have not heard yet..... just discover the band with their big cameback album in the 90's. Now i think the band was tired and you can't expect good thing when you have a 9 tracks record and three are covers!!! Maybe the band needed this crisis and Perry leaving the band was the "right" thing to happen and helped them for their second part of their career. cheers and be well
Yeah that's true this band was in a really bad place when they were making this, but despite all of that, I think it holds up pretty well, it's actually pretty good.
Night in the Ruts is a great album, I liked it way more than Draw The Line which prob should have been called Snort The Line ...........
That's funny because I remember when I was younger I drew a picture of the album cover and I put that same line on the drawing.
I love 6 of the 9 songs... No Surprise may be my #1 favorite song of all time. The cover of Reefer Headed Woman is OK, but I can certainly do without the cover of Remember and the MIA ballad. Overall, a great album in my book.
Yeah, Its a very good album compared to their later stuff. After this I would say that only Pump was better.
Night in the Ruts,a play on the words , Right in the Nuts,was alot better than anything Aerosmith released after Get a Grip
That's funny. I actually never thought of that.
I loved it when it came out. I think I was 16 or 17. Draw the Line only had two great songs on it. The title track and Kings and Queens. Night in the Ruts was a much better record in my opinion, and I played the crap out of it.
Yeah, I know it's a really good album.
Sight for sore eyes!
Ehh, that's Corky Laing not Gary Lyons..
Thanks. Sometimes it's hard to find pictures of people.
@@jcrockandmetalreviews Sure thing, I get that...:D great vid otherwise! LOVED this record too, never understood why ppl didn't like it!??
Night In the Ruts is to Aerosmith what Diver Down is to Van Halen. In both cases, the record company pressured the band for a new album even though they didn’t have enough new material. Hence all the cover songs.
Cool. I never made that connection.v
Plus Joe kept some songs for his solo album.
Diver Down is a great album ! Maybe not VH's best, but better than anything Van Hagar...
Joe Perry did an FM radio interview in Detroit with a DJ named Steve Kostan soon after he left Aerosmith.

Over the years, I've heard at least a half dozen other reasons why he left Aerosmith, but this is basically what he was saying at the time.
Thanks yeah I can understand that I know the band was in a very bad place and Joe probably needed to get away and do his own thing for a little while.
Out of all the albums between the first one and "permanent vacation," "draw the line" was the worst one .. "night in the ruts" really isn't that bad at all !
It's right up there with the first 4 albums.
Yeah, I've always liked this album
@@jcrockandmetalreviews 👍👍
I've always liked night in the ruts. Good riffage
Yeah, I know. The songs are really good.
Joe Perry is on every track except for the solo on three mile smile Mia and some of no surprize. Joe plays the solos on think about it and reefer headed woman they were playing that live on the 1979 shows
Yeah that makes sense, but I was going by what I read online, but as you know, it's not always accurate.
No offense but the video is called why Joe Perry left, not 'what I think of Night in the Ruts'.
I built up to it in the second half of the video.
@@jcrockandmetalreviews my bad
My sister went to that World Series of Rock. I was only 10, so I didn't make it. From all the clips I've seen, AC/DC stole the show. There's also some good stuff about Aerosmith visiting the WMMS radio station.
Yeah, there were so many great concerts back then.
The reason it wasn't popular is because Joe Perry left the band, so the tour was undermined and they didn't get the same kind of sales from touring. Tyler and Perry were also a mess.
This album is great.
Yeah, I know. The band was in a very bad place then.
@@jcrockandmetalreviews I like Rock anda Hard Place too. I think Tyler is way more important than Perry.
In cleveland during the "world series of rock", they literally fought over spilled milk! Can you believe that, somebody in the band spilled the milk on joe perry's girl. This happened at a time when tensions were extremely high in the band.
Yeah I could see that happening. The problem was that this band was in a really bad place at the time. They really needed a break and to get clean and sober.
It was Joe Perry’s wife who threw the milk at Tom’s wife.
🥛 😂
Incorrect it was joe on think about it. It’s filled with Joe Perry isms
Why do so many podcasters, not unlike JC, speak and look so bizarre? Just wondering why bland, low-key, normal folks rarely go into the podcast business.
It's because we're all on the Autistic Spectrum 😊
I caught the psycho reference,,haha awesome…
Thanks. I think you are the first person to mention it.
By left, you mean, went out for smokes and to take a crap, only to be with the band for another 40 years.
Cmon, dude, you obviously have a lot of knowledge. You don't need clickbait titles.
But it worked 😂
@jcrockandmetalreviews it definitely worked... but it only works for awhile. Years if you're lucky 😆 🤣 have a good one
Probably because he cannot play the guitar worth a damn.
Lol 😂
