One of Jimmy's first post Aerosmith major projects was the heavy metal/hard rock outfit, Adam Bomb. They released 3 LP's, "Fatal Attraction" (Geffen 1985) including Cliff Williams of AC/DC playing bass and backing vocals on the track "I Want My Heavy Metal", "Pure Sex" (Combat Records 1990) and "Grave New World" (Rockworld Records in 1993).

The band also included the rhythm section from Billy Idol's band, bassist Phil Feit and drummer Gregg Gerson. Gerson, who has recently worked with such acts as Roger Daltrey (Hyper Link) (you can read an interview with Gregg about his work with Daltrey here) Eric Burdon touring the world and toured with Aerosmith in '87 in supporting act Steve Jones'(Sex Pistols) band, explains that the formation of the band came about after David Krebs (former Aerosmith manager) called Gerson asking about bassists for a new band, Krebs suggesting Crespo as guitarist. "The beginning of a great band" Gerson relates. They came together at Krebs' office one afternoon in 1984, and before long were getting a good feel for each other's musical prowess, and ended up opening up for many big bands of the time. Gerson has a great homepage located at (Hyper Link) www.GreggGerson.com target="_blank", including rare promo and live photos of the band from 1985.
