Get a Grip
1993年,史密斯飞船乐队发行了在世界范围内全部取得了成功的专辑《Get a Grip》,这张专辑是史密斯飞船乐队发行的包括现场专辑和精选辑在内的第十五张专辑。由于当时涅磐乐队(Nirvana)已经冲入了主流,摇滚乐的王朝已经被颠覆,而这张专辑却依然在发行后就立即登上了排行榜的冠军宝座,并且在全世界范围内售出了超过1200万张,似乎没有受到任何影响一般。而这张唱片封面同其中单曲一样经典的专辑里还诞生了《Livin' on the Edge》《Cryin'》《Amazing》《Crazy》这四首被认为是流行金属时代最后的经典单曲。而在随后展开的世界性巡演中,史密斯飞船乐队也依然非常受欢迎,他们在1994年的Woodstock音乐节上的精彩演出也同样令人印象深刻。 Get a Grip is the 11th studio album by American rock band Aerosmith, released on April 20, 1993 by Geffen Records.

Get a Grip became Aerosmith's best-selling studio album worldwide, achieving sales of over 20 million copies, and is tied with Pump for their second best-selling album in the United States, selling over 7 million copies as of 1995. This also made it their third consecutive album with US sales of at least five million.
