We are in the midst of our 3 00:00:09,199 --> 00:00:12,119 comparison of the album Get a Grip with the album 4 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:17,839 No More Tears. Last episode, we talked about the rise 5 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:23,039 and fall and ultimate comeback of Aerosmith through the seventies 6 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:24,679 and eighties and nineties. 7 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,679 Speaker 2: Today we are diving in track by track into Aerosmiths 8 00:00:27,839 --> 00:00:39,880 Get a Grip album. All right, So, Get a Grip 9 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,960 is released April twentieth of nineteen ninety three. There's a 10 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,320 couple of things I want to talk about before we 11 00:00:44,399 --> 00:00:45,520 go through the lineup really quick. 12 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 1: Okay, Okay. 13 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 2: It ends up going at least seven times platinum. That's 14 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,520 kind of the latest information I have. Sells over ten 15 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,799 million copies, over half of that is outside of the 16 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,640 United States, so it's an international smash. 17 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: Okay, best selling album worldwide, the first album to reach 18 00:01:01,359 --> 00:01:01,840 number one. 19 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 2: Some tidbits on this album, Okay. On June twenty seventh, 20 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,640 nineteen ninety four, Aerosmith became the first major artist to 21 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,200 release a song as an exclusive digital download. It was 22 00:01:12,239 --> 00:01:14,799 an unreleased track called head First, which was written for 23 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,200 this album didn't make the final cut. But they released it. 24 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,799 Around ten thousand users downloaded the song, even though at 25 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,760 the time you had to use a modem, which means 26 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,359 it took several hours to get it one. So one song, 27 00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:29,760 one song, one song not good enough to make this album. 28 00:01:30,519 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: The album was named Album of the Year by Metal 29 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,400 Edge magazine reader's choice. Uh huh. 30 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 2: Seven songs from Get a Grip wound up charting at 31 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,840 least one of Billboard's charts. Okay, so this is their 32 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,400 one of their biggest selling albums, right, maybe their biggest 33 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:44,920 selling album. 34 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:45,159 Speaker 1: Yep. 35 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,359 Speaker 2: They came to the record company with an album in 36 00:01:48,439 --> 00:01:52,280 September of nineteen ninety two, YEP, and said, here you go, fellas, 37 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,439 here's our album, and they listened to it. The guy's 38 00:01:54,519 --> 00:01:56,120 name is John Kelviner. 39 00:01:56,359 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: It's easy for you to say, I know. 40 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 2: He is a gefen Ar executive. And he listened to 41 00:02:00,239 --> 00:02:02,400 it and he said, he said, this is not good. 42 00:02:02,519 --> 00:02:04,439 Speaker 1: Don't sugarcoat it. Tell me how you really feel. 43 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 2: He was the guy that like, you got to tell 44 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,400 the band, and so he's like, look, guys, this there's 45 00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:14,039 no radio friendly hits on this. Okay. I've tried to 46 00:02:14,159 --> 00:02:17,199 kind of figure out what songs were on that September 47 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,520 ninety two album. Yeah, I can't find the track listing. 48 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,719 Here's what I do know. Living on the Edge was 49 00:02:22,719 --> 00:02:25,919 not on there, Crying wasn't on there, and Crazy wasn't 50 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:26,240 on there. 51 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: Those are kind of big ones. 52 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 2: I mean, those are the heavy hitters from this album. 53 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: I mean it's good to know because if those songs 54 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,199 had been on there and somebody was saying no hits, 55 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:35,479 then we like, you're fired. 56 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,599 Speaker 2: You're an idiot. Right, So anyway, I found that very interesting. 57 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:44,080 Their first submission for this album was rejected. Go back 58 00:02:44,159 --> 00:02:45,039 to the drawing board. 59 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,039 Speaker 1: Wow, real quick. 60 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:52,599 Speaker 2: The album cover generated some controversy. Really, The album cover 61 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,360 had a cow's udder. 62 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: Wait wait, wait, wait wait, do you know why milking 63 00:02:58,159 --> 00:03:01,840 stools only have three legs? No, because the cow has 64 00:03:01,879 --> 00:03:02,240 the utterer. 65 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 2: That's a good one, bad joke. So that the album 66 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,000 covers a picture of a cow's utter, there's an Aerosmith 67 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,240 brand on the cow, and then one of the nipples 68 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,919 on the utter is pierced. So the ped of people 69 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:25,800 went crazy, right, They're like, I mean they were upset, right, 70 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:30,039 they're abusing this cow and they're like, uh, this was 71 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,800 computer generated. And everybody calmed down, all right, So let's 72 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,039 dive right in. Okay, So you start off with this, 73 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,800 it's really an intro to Eat the Rich. We got kid, it's. 74 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 3: Half past the Youth. 75 00:03:42,479 --> 00:03:44,599 Speaker 4: They never read the changer, but the dates you will 76 00:03:44,639 --> 00:03:46,080 grand Slamma but no baby. 77 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,919 Speaker 2: But it starts off with this kind of rat right 78 00:03:48,479 --> 00:03:48,919 sling it. 79 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 4: From the product gate got all asses. 80 00:03:51,759 --> 00:03:56,479 Speaker 2: You've got the right key, baby, but the wrong key. 81 00:03:57,439 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: I don't know what that's a reference to, and I'm 82 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:00,439 not gonna floor it. 83 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:06,439 Speaker 2: They do have the riff from Walks this family, and 84 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,879 I think it's their way of saying, get ready, we're 85 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,840 freaking Aerosmith. Here's our album, huh, and we're bringing it. 86 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,120 And it rolls right into Eat the Rich. 87 00:04:22,319 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 1: So the music video on this one, the intro song 88 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,240 is a part of the music video for Eat the Rich. Right, 89 00:04:29,439 --> 00:04:32,759 But you've got this awesome introduction where it builds. You 90 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,240 know how I love the build. You've got the guitar riff, 91 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:36,800 and then you've got the bass that comes in and 92 00:04:36,879 --> 00:04:38,720 joins it. Then you've got the drums and the rhythm 93 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,040 guitar that come in and join them, and it build 94 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,000 builds right up into that yell. This is the perfect 95 00:04:45,079 --> 00:04:46,279 Aerosmith intro. 96 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,879 Speaker 2: He does make that little animalistic I don't know what 97 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,199 that is, but that little screech. 98 00:04:51,399 --> 00:04:52,639 Speaker 1: Yes, it's the screaming demon. 99 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 2: Steven Tyler can do a lot of vocal gymnastics. He's 100 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:57,439 like Michael Jackson. 101 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 3: He makes noises and they're interesting to listen to. 102 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 2: This was their second single. This was released April seventeenth 103 00:05:11,399 --> 00:05:14,519 and ninety three. It only reached number thirty four, so 104 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,920 it wasn't as big a hit as they wanted. It's 105 00:05:16,959 --> 00:05:18,920 a good concert song. They played it in almost all 106 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,680 of their concerts that year, but they had to reevaluate 107 00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:23,199 how they're going to go through this album. 108 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,399 Speaker 1: The video is weird. 109 00:05:25,639 --> 00:05:27,439 Speaker 2: There's like eyeballs and bones and. 110 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's wearing animal horns and it's Here's. 111 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,519 Speaker 2: The thing I've never really understood about this song. Yeah, 112 00:05:33,879 --> 00:05:36,839 it's like Aerosmith has taken stand against rich people. 113 00:05:37,399 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: Yeah. 114 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,639 Speaker 2: I know they were broke because drugs broke them, but 115 00:05:40,759 --> 00:05:42,600 they're pretty rich. I mean, let's be honest. 116 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, there have been several bands that have songs with 117 00:05:47,439 --> 00:05:50,920 this name. There's a Motorhead song, but I think this 118 00:05:50,959 --> 00:05:53,480 is without question the most well known of the ether 119 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:54,160 rich songs. 120 00:05:54,319 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 2: Okay, have you ever heard the song Honey Hush by 121 00:05:58,879 --> 00:06:10,959 fog Hats the rip from that song pretty dag Gum 122 00:06:10,959 --> 00:06:11,959 similar to Eat the Rich. 123 00:06:12,079 --> 00:06:16,639 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, that's spot on, without question, spot on. 124 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 2: Yes, Honey Hush. Go back to our Smoking de Banded 125 00:06:20,879 --> 00:06:24,120 episode where Kleta Snow says that this song was written 126 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,759 by Joe Perry, Steven Tyler, and Jim Balance. Jim is 127 00:06:27,759 --> 00:06:30,720 the guy who wrote Ragdoll from Permanent Vacation. 128 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: Oh yeah. This song is a part of Temco's Dead 129 00:06:36,399 --> 00:06:40,759 or Live four video game opening along with Amazing Interesting, 130 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,959 and it was one of the loop songs on Revolution X, 131 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,759 which is Aerosmith's game by Midway Games. 132 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,439 Speaker 2: Okay, so the next song is called get a Grip? 133 00:06:51,519 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 1: Okay, and Jim Balance has worked with a ton of people, 134 00:06:57,519 --> 00:07:02,800 but was in a van uber jazz blues rock band 135 00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:09,399 called Sunshine with another band member named Bruce fairbearn. 136 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,079 Speaker 2: Oh nice. Bruce Fairbarn produced Get a Grip. 137 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,199 Speaker 1: Oh There you Go? But we he was in our 138 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:24,680 previous music. 139 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 2: Episodes job he did Wed and New Jersey. 140 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, both of them. 141 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 2: How about that There you Go? 142 00:07:30,279 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: That is cool. 143 00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 2: The opening drum on this track to me, every time 144 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,319 I hear it, I think it sounds like a Janet 145 00:07:37,399 --> 00:07:39,319 Jackson song. What have you done for me lately? 146 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: Your Janet Jackson library in your head is much stronger 147 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:45,040 than mine. 148 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 2: I will say, Okay, well, there you go. This is 149 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,439 a good song. I like it. The chorus is strong. 150 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,279 I feel like it's a good concert song. It sounds 151 00:07:52,319 --> 00:07:55,360 a little bit like these songs I used to hear, 152 00:07:55,439 --> 00:07:57,600 like when I'd watched Tom and Jerry cartoons and stuff 153 00:07:57,639 --> 00:08:03,000 like Mama's Little Baby Love Short just has that. It 154 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,959 does that sort of southern. 155 00:08:06,199 --> 00:08:09,879 Speaker 5: Yeah and Damn. 156 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,959 Speaker 6: Things don't change. John Jock's Gone. 157 00:08:14,199 --> 00:08:16,319 Speaker 2: It's a good one. I like it. I think this 158 00:08:16,439 --> 00:08:18,759 is like the second tier down. There's a group of 159 00:08:19,279 --> 00:08:21,360 great songs on this album. There's a group of pretty 160 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,720 good songs on this album. I put this into pretty good. 161 00:08:23,759 --> 00:08:23,959 Speaker 6: Kay. 162 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,439 Speaker 2: One more thing about Get a Grip. There's this massive 163 00:08:27,519 --> 00:08:29,319 burp that I always thought was at the end of 164 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:34,879 Eat the Rich, Right, Yeah, it's technically the beginning of 165 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,759 Get a Grip, all right. So that brings us to 166 00:08:36,799 --> 00:08:38,799 the third song on the album. It's called Fever. 167 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: This is a rock and little song. Yeah, and I 168 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,679 love the harmonica they use the harmonica periodically. I love 169 00:08:50,879 --> 00:08:53,440 the harmonica and their song. Steven Tyler is a fierce 170 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:54,240 harmonic player. 171 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, this song sounds a lot like young Lust to me, 172 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:58,039 which is a song. 173 00:08:57,919 --> 00:09:02,159 Speaker 1: Up a pump, right. This song is talking about how 174 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:15,559 they've decided to give up drugs for sex basically, and 175 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,600 the line is that buzz you be getting from the 176 00:09:19,759 --> 00:09:24,519 crack don't last.

I'd seen the video before. 432 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,000 I'd seen the video many, many, many times, watching it 433 00:23:18,039 --> 00:23:21,359 on YouTube as opposed to watching it on MTV right, 434 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,839 right right, and so it was the first time that 435 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,359 I ever actually saw her finger not pixelated out and 436 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:27,960 blared out. 437 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,279 Speaker 2: It's quite the fu to Stephendorf to jump off and 438 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,960 give double birds on a bungee jumper. Ye, great song, 439 00:23:36,079 --> 00:23:40,880 great video. Tent pull song on the album. Before we 440 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,640 move on from this one, I want to throw something 441 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,440 at you. I read an article this week, and you're 442 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,480 the musician. Between you and I, it was suggested that 443 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,960 Crazy and Crying started out as the same song. They 444 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,599 have the same bones musically, their progression is the same, 445 00:23:56,759 --> 00:24:00,799 but they took them to separate song. Doctor and one 446 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,039 produced Crazy and one produced Crying, but it all came 447 00:24:04,079 --> 00:24:06,039 from the same route. What do you think you buy? 448 00:24:06,079 --> 00:24:12,400 Speaker 1: That? Certainly similar, not identical, but certainly similar chord progressions. Okay, 449 00:24:12,559 --> 00:24:15,279 both in the key of A and listening to them, 450 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,400 I can easily as I'm listening to Crying, I can 451 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,960 sing the lyrics to Crazy and vice versa. 452 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,799 Speaker 2: All right, next song on the album is a song 453 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:25,920 called Gotta Love It. 454 00:24:32,279 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 6: Skipper. 455 00:24:33,799 --> 00:24:41,039 Speaker 1: Apparently you don't gotta love it Skipper. Yes, that's exactly 456 00:24:41,079 --> 00:24:44,119 how I feel, Round and round and round, and that's 457 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:48,000 exactly how I feel okay. Why you got three songs 458 00:24:48,599 --> 00:24:50,920 on the If you're listening to the LP, you got 459 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,519 three songs on the side, and they're all over five 460 00:24:54,559 --> 00:24:57,039 minutes long, and the one you make the longest one 461 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:57,759 is gotta Love It. 462 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,599 Speaker 2: No, this song's terrible. Yes, this is the worst song 463 00:25:00,599 --> 00:25:03,559 on the album. This song, to me, sounds like, remember 464 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,799 we've seen those videos when Millie Vanilli is playing on 465 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,480 concert in concert and they hit that skip and it's girl. 466 00:25:09,559 --> 00:25:11,799 You know it's girl. You know it's girl. 467 00:25:11,839 --> 00:25:13,799 Speaker 1: You know it's obnoxious. 468 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, round and round and round. 469 00:25:15,759 --> 00:25:16,400 Speaker 1: No, it's terrible. 470 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 2: It's a skipper. 471 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 1: Yeah. I honestly don't have anything to say about this 472 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,000 song other than see you later, all right? 473 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 2: Moving on, moving on to a song called crazy. 474 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,039 Speaker 4: Me a Baby. 475 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:29,799 Speaker 6: You know when you. 476 00:25:29,839 --> 00:25:32,839 Speaker 4: Drive me up a wall, you make good ball the mast, 477 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,680 it checks you pull.

This song was released May third, ninety four. It's 485 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,720 the seventh single and is my favorite song on the album. 486 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,920 It's the best song to me on the album. 487 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 1: It's a great song, no question about it.

This one was co written by Desmond Child. 490 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,960 So Crying was co written by Taylor Rhodes. Crazy was 491 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:18,319 co written by Desmond Child. 492 00:26:18,759 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 2: See there you go. And then you come up with 493 00:26:33,519 --> 00:26:40,519 this slow, louzy, romantic love song. Towards the end you 494 00:26:40,559 --> 00:26:42,119 have that sweeping orchestra. 495 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:49,160 Speaker 1: Yeah. I love this, love it to. It's interesting. I mean, 496 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,519 at the point that this song came out, they had 497 00:26:51,559 --> 00:26:55,799 already had the video for Crying.

Yeah, it's a good one. 661 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,079 Speaker 1: This is also one that was in the video game 662 00:35:39,119 --> 00:35:41,480 Better Alive for okay. 663 00:35:42,199 --> 00:35:44,119 Speaker 2: Uh. It does make mention. One of the lyrics on 664 00:35:44,159 --> 00:35:48,440 this song. It says, one last shot a permanent vacation, 665 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:52,639 a little tie back to an earlier Aerosmith album. It's 666 00:35:52,639 --> 00:35:53,199 a great song. 667 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:54,119 Speaker 1: I love it all right. 668 00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:59,760 Speaker 2: Finally we come to Boogeyman, which is a instrumental. 669 00:36:00,079 --> 00:36:02,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I will tell you this. I'll tell you this, 670 00:36:02,639 --> 00:36:05,079 the songs that we hear on these albums when I 671 00:36:05,079 --> 00:36:08,119 didn't own the album, that our new experiences for me 672 00:36:08,639 --> 00:36:11,599 sometimes are not so good. Right, Like the beginning songs 673 00:36:11,599 --> 00:36:13,400 of this, particularly some of the beginning songs in this 674 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,519 particular album, I was just like, this is not really 675 00:36:16,599 --> 00:36:19,679 for me. It's all full Aerosmith, It's very Erosmith sounding. 676 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,800 It's just doesn't have that but the appeal to me. 677 00:36:22,519 --> 00:36:25,400 But occasionally there will be songs that I'm not super 678 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,280 familiar with that will totally hook me and become a 679 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:33,079 part of my rotation. Right, Like I knew Kickstart my Heart. 680 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:37,800 It's now a part of my workout playlist. I probably 681 00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,960 had heard Foolin', but it is now a part of 682 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,519 my road trip playlist. Full and off of Piramine, off 683 00:36:44,519 --> 00:36:48,320 of Piramina, Yes, def Leppard and Motley Crue there. Yeah, 684 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,199 for this one. This is the song for me that 685 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,199 I was just like, Wow, this is different. 686 00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,880 Speaker 2: I like this, this is this is the one I'm 687 00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:58,199 digging this, This is the song. 688 00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,360 Speaker 1: This is the song I really really like. The Joe 689 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:06,039 Perry instrumental guitar groove and song. I'll listen to it again. 690 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:07,840 It'll become a part of a playlist. 691 00:37:08,559 --> 00:37:10,719 Speaker 2: This song is like a cracker with no salt on it. 692 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:14,840 There's just nothing there for me. It's just an instrumental. 693 00:37:15,119 --> 00:37:17,360 But here's the crazy thing about this. So I looked 694 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:22,280 at the tour set list for the Get a Grip tour.
