''Get a Grip'' is the eleventh studio Album by American Hard Rock band Aerosmith , released in 1993 (see 1993 In Music ). ''Get a Grip'' was considered in a more commercial style for Aerosmith and delivered five hit singles, four of which charted in the ," " Amazing ," and " Crazy ." ''Get a Grip'' also demonstrated more of a wide range of styles for the group. "Gotta Love It" was a step into R&B , featuring bluesy solos from Joe Perry , Brad Whitford and even a bass guitar solo from Tom Hamilton . The Grammy -nominated instrumental "Boogie Man" was based on the Peter Green days of Fleetwood Mac . The album also featured famous musical guests including Don Henley , who sang backup on "Amazing", and Lenny Kravitz , who offered backup vocals and collaboration to "Line Up". As on '' Permanent Vacation '' and '' Pump '', this album featured a good number of song collaborators from outside the group, including Desmond Child , Jim Vallance , Mark Hudson , Richie Supa , Taylor Rhodes , Jack Blades and Tommy Shaw . ''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. ''Get a Grip'' won the band two Grammy Awards For Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal . The promo CD version had a simulated-cowhide cover, reportedly of a unique pattern on each one.
