• Renegade was a band whose members were Tom Hamilton on bass, Joey Kramer on drums, Jimmy Crespo on lead guitar, Bobby Mayo on rhythm guitar, and Marge Raymond (Who had been the lead singer of Jimmy Crespo's former band "The Flame") on vocals.

  The band was put together in 1981 by Joey Kramer. Joey said the reason he put the band together is because Aerosmith was ready to self-destruct. Joe Perry and Brad Whitford had already left the band, and Steven Tyler was side-lined for the year on account of a motercycle accident.

  Renegade recorded a seven track album in "SIR Studios" in New York City. At one point "Renegade" had a record deal, but Tom and Joey had to finish the Aerosmith album "Rock In A Hard Place" first, so the whole project got put on the back burner and nothing ever happened.

• This album was released on Geffen Records in mid-1985. Jimmy Crespo was a member of the band and plays guitar on the album.

  Fatal Attraction was re-released July 31st 2001 on Metal Mayhem Records in conjunction with GetAnimal inc. The album had never been released on CD until this, and this Special Edition Re-Release contains two unreleased bonus tracks, two CD ROM videos and a 12 page color booklet featuring never before seen photos of the band.

  Important to Adam Bomb's career was David Krebs, who as you may know had previously guided the career of Aerosmith. In '84 Adam went to a Michael Schenker concert in San Francisco and got them to play his video before Schenker went on. Schenker’s manager, David Krebs, saw the video and was impressed with Adam Bomb. He contacted Adam and signed him to a 15 year management deal with Leber Krebs. Krebs flew him to New York and put Adam together with some veterans, including Jimmy Crespo on guitar. The band also included former Riot/Ace Frehley drummer Sandy Slavin & former Riot/Billy Idol bassist Phil Feit. The four of them started rehearsing in SIR in New York City.

  After years of studio work and a disappointing attempt with his first band, Flame, Crespo had spent four years replacing original Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry when he went out on his own. When Perry decided to rejoin Aerosmith, Crespo found himself looking for a new band. At around the same time, Feit left Billy Idol. He was also looking for a true band situation, so he eventually formed a band with Jimmy. As fate would have it, Feit and Crespo were looking for another guitarist/front man at the same time that Adam was looking for a band. Phil then recruited his old pal Slavin to play drums. Once they played together, as Feit recalls, “...we were four separate personalities that were really strong...but still a band. ..we knew right away it would work.”
  Although not a member, the album also features bassist/background vocalist Cliff Williams of AC/DC on the single I Want My Heavy Metal.

  The band played it's first gig at the Ritz in NYC . Later the band showcased for record labels. A bidding war went on between Polygram and Geffen. Krebs decided to take the label that offered the most money. Geffen Records signed Adam Bomb to a 6 record deal for over a million dollars. Then David Krebs split with his partner Steve Leber and moved himself and the band to Los Angeles.

  In 1986, after playing several shows in New York clubs, Jimmy returned to Los Angeles to live with his new girlfriend. The band recorded more albums after this, but without any involvement with Jimmy Crespo.

  Various other Aerosmith/Adam Bomb related history
  [source: AdamBomb.com]

  1985: Krebs hires former Aerosmith road manager Bob "Kelly" Kelleher to oversee the band. Kelly was fired from Aerosmith years ago during the Krebs years for stealing and heavy drug abuse. Krebs decided to give another chance with Adam Bomb.

  Fatal Attraction got released in America, just as Geffen records announced they had signed Aerosmith. There was a lawsuit between Leber Krebs and Aerosmith going on at the time. Aerosmith manager Tim Collins was in direct negotiation with Geffen Records President Ed Rosenblatt. Tim Collins and Aerosmith publicly resented David Krebs. They never settled until years later, although Aerosmith has never been fond of David Krebs since.

  David Krebs told Adam that Geffen will not give him the 50,000.00 in video money that was guaranteed in the contract. Although he was friends with David Geffen since they both worked together in the mailroom at The William Morris Agency, Krebs stated that he was going to leave Geffen Records because of breach of contract, David Krebs moved his family from his rented beach house in Malibu back to New York City. Adam and bassist Phil Feit went back to New York as well. Guitarist Jimmy Crespo & drummer Sandy Slavin stayed in Los Angeles and both moved in with girls they had met in Hollywood while the band lived at the Beverly Sunset Hotel. Both Jimmy and Sandy eventually married these girls and started families. Adam started writing songs for a new record while his manager set up shop in ex-partner Steve Leber's office in New York City. Aerosmith released Done With Mirrors on Geffen while Krebs made a deal to release Adam Bomb from obligation to Geffen Records for one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars. Krebs said he would use this money to record a new album for a new record label.

  1986: Krebs decided to concentrate on releasing an Aerosmith live album called Classics Live and had one of his employees, Paul O'Neil, hire a studio and an engineer to fix the tapes. Paul O'Neil was managing another band at time called Heaven. Jimmy Crespo was flown in to overdub guitar tracks and Paul O'Neil added rhythm guitar and also added keyboards played by Mitch Perry, a member of Heaven. It was rumored that Adam played on it but that wasn't true. David Krebs had Paul O'Neil take Adam, Jimmy Crespo, Phil Feit and drummer Gregg Gerson into a studio to cut one song. Bomb didn't agree with Paul O'Neil's "do it in one take and I'll give you 5 dollars" production technique. The song & tapes were scrapped and Krebs continued to focus on repackaging Aerosmith material, having Paul O'Neil produce a second live Aerosmith album. Steven Tyler confronted Adam years later and accusing him of playing on the bogus Aerosmith albums. Although Adam denied playing on it saying he couldn't play that crappy, Tyler seemed to have his doubts.

  1989: Jack Douglas, the former Aerosmith producer, was constantly at David Krebs office hitting up Krebs for Aerosmith royalty advances. Jack liked Adam's new demos and convinced Krebs to put together a budget to record three songs at a New York recording studio being that was in the process of being rebuilt.

  1990: Pre-production started with Jack Douglas at 321 Studios located at 321 West 44th street, the former address of the Record Plant, where Jack had recorded Aerosmith. The studio was now owned two shady characters. At the time Jack Douglas was heavily addicted to drugs. Jack believed that Yoko Ono hired a witch to put a curse on him. There were a lot of things going on that didn't seem quite right with the owners of the studio. Adam and Jack Douglas camped out in the studio while the control room was gutted and rebuilt. Along with drummer Bobby Chouinard and guitarist Steve Stevens, they rearranged the demos and threw parties in the studio. It took about a month until the studio control room was finished.

  Somehow by February, the studio owners managed to get multi-million dollar state-of-the-art equipment that was brought in from Sony and other high tech companies. Everything was wired up and running. They were able to do this using Jack Douglas and David Krebs names as clients and saying Jack was going to record Aerosmith at the studio. This was Krebs had contracted Jack do a remix on the Texas Jam video soundtrack. It was another repackaging of old material put out by Krebs' without Aerosmith's involvement. This was to be done after the bugs got worked out in the just-rewired studio with the Adam Bomb album.

  Jack Douglas worked out a deal to do the recording of 3 songs for tape cost. When the cost of tape became ten thousand dollars Krebs became suspicious. Somehow he managed to lump everything in with the Aerosmith deal which kept the studio owners of Jack's back so Adam could continue recording. 3 songs turned into 12. 12 songs were completed on a 72 track digital master tape, but they were yet to be mixed. Adam decided to call the album New York Times. Adam finished his tracks and left for Europe. The album was ready to mixed by Jack Douglas and his engineer Jay Messina and was slated to finished by the time Bomb returned from Europe.

  Adam went to London, Munich and Paris in March for a 3 week press tour. When he returned to New York, Jack Douglas had only mixed three songs before starting the Aerosmith project. The 321 studios had went bankrupt and all the studio equipment had been repossessed by their creditors. The building rent was never paid. The studio turned out to be a front for some investment scam. The master tapes were also missing and one of the studio owners had been thrown in jail.

• Ava Electris hired Jimmy Crespo to play on a song called "Joey Guitar," which I think was a tribute to Joe Perry. It's probably available in the Boston area. The person who informed me about this thought the record company was Varuvian, but couldn't say for sure. He also thought Hirsh Gardner or Bobby Rondinelli played drums. I did a song search at allmusic.com for "Joey Guitar" and got one hit, a compilation album called "Boston Rock 'N Roll Anthology, Vol. 9" It had "Joey Guitar performed by Ava Electris" in the track list and "Jimmy respo - Guitar" in the credits listed.
