MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1)

March 2nd, 1993

Shortly before Get a Grip would be released…

Aerosmith’s
“Livin’ on the Edge”
was all over the rock charts.

(Music Cut #2)

Steven Tyler wanted this to feel like
a 90s peace anthem.

But also…

like the world was about to explode.

And he found that sound
outside the studio in Vancouver.

(Music Cut #3)

That massive, echoing boom
during the drum breaks?

Not a studio trick.

Not a drum machine.

But an actual industrial dumpster
being slammed and recorded.

Yes — city trash equipment
became an instrument.

(Music Cut #4)

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“Something’s wrong with our eyes
We’re seeing things in a different way” – Aerosmith
