Always difficult to replace a legend.....Crespo isnt a bad guitarist, always wondered what happened to him.....good luck to the guy!!!
Heres him jammin with AEROMYTH.....[TRIBUTEBAND] ......hes got a greatgrin on his face.....
It will be interesting to see what his project does........I would give him credit if he came out with new material and didn't keep riding the skirttails of his time with Aerosmith.
