LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-JAN 7, 2019-.IT WAS 1983 AND AEROSMITH WAS ON THE ROAD WITH THE ‘GET A GRIP’ TOUR, WHEN THEY PLAYED THE OAKLAND ARENA WITH PAT TRAVERS AS THE WARM UP ACT. THE ORIGINAL OPENING ACT FOR THE TOUR WAS MEGADETH, BUT MEGADETH WAS DROPPED 6 WEEKS INTO THE TOUR WHEN DAVE MUSTAINE WAS DOING A RADIO INTERVIEW AND TALKED SMACK ABOUT AEROSMITH, SAYING ‘WE THINK WE OUGHTA BE HEADLINING, BUT WE DON’T MIND, BECAUSE EVERYONE KNOWS THIS IS AEROSMITH’S LAST HARRAH’. MEGADETH WAS DROPPED IMMEDIATELY AS A WARM UP ACT ON THE TOUR. BTW, BY THE END OF THE TOUR ‘GET A GRIP’ SOLD 12 MILLION COPIES.
HERE’S A HUGE SONG FROM THE CD, THIS IS ‘LIVIN’ ON THE EDGE’
