Night in the Ruts
is the sixth
studio album
by American
rock band
released on
November 16, 1979,
by Columbia Records.
Guitarist
Joe Perry
left the band
midway through
the album's recording.
The album was
initially produced at
the band's
Wherehouse rehearsal space
by Jack Douglas,
who'd produced
Aerosmith's previous
four albums,
but later
Columbia Records
brought in
Gary Lyons
to replace Douglas
as producer
.Substance abuse
among the members
gradually worsened,
and they started
fighting among themselves.
This often led to missed
and sloppy
live performances,
culminating in a fight
involving the members
and their wives.
The situation came to a
head on
July 28, 1979,
at the World Series of
Rock in Cleveland, Ohio
when Perry
left the band
halfway through
the tour
after a heated argument
with Tyler.
Prior to Perry's departure,
he had completed
guitar parts for
"No Surprize",
"Chiquita",
"Cheese Cake",
“Reefer Headed Woman”,
"Three Mile Smile",
and
"Bone to Bone
(Coney Island White Fish Boy)".
Guitar parts for
the remaining songs
were recorded by
Brad Whitford,
Richie Supa,
Neil Thompson,
and
Jimmy Crespo.
The last became
Perry's official replacement
from 1979 to 1984
