I think we had this conversation before. Maybe it was here or maybe it was on HCAF.
Either way, Brad Whitford did play on Rock and a Hard Place. He did the rhythm guitars on Lightning Strikes. Listen to the album and read the credits.
Ha, that's exactly one song.
Personally, I wouldn't consider it Aerosmith if just Steven Tyler was gone and the rest of the band was there. But then again, Aerosmith is probably my favorite band, so I'm pretty die hard, lol

Baroness - Yellow & Green is an awesome record. But, I haven't heard people criticize it too much. There are definitely some entrenched metal heads out there who might bitch about it not being heavy, but I generally pay those people no mind.
I don't know how to take that. It's a really weird statement. An acceptable alternative that would have made sense is "wow! You know how to count."

Finally listened to Rock in a Hard Place. Definitely not Aerosmith's worst album. I think Done with Mirrors takes the award for worst Aerosmith album, lol. It does sound like an Aerosmith album even without Joe and Brad. Just goes to show how much influence Steven has on their writing process.

The cover of Cry Me a River is worth the price of the whole cd (IMHO) Add in Lightning Strikes, Jailbait, & Bitches Brew, and it's far from thier worst album. Granted it's not Rocks or Toys, but it's a pretty damn good album

Agreed. IMO that album was pretty much a blueprint for a lot of mid to late 1980s hair metal stuff. I hear it all over the first GNR album, Cinderella, etc.

I think Fear Factory's Archetype is pretty underrated because Dino wasn't on the guitar. But Christian is a gotdamn rythm monster in the same league as Dino and they put out a pretty damn good record. The tone was great too.
If you had said Heavy Horses, or Stormwatch, or even "A", I'd agree
