Description
Steven Tyler, loud and unfiltered. He’s the voice behind “Dream On,” “Sweet Emotion,” and “Walk This Way” — and one of the wildest survivors in rock history. In this 2011 memoir, written with David Dalton, the Aerosmith frontman tells his story in his own unmistakable voice: part scat-singing shaman, part wounded romantic, entirely original.
Tyler takes readers from a Yonkers childhood through the formation of Aerosmith, the stadium-filling glory years, and the drug-fueled chaos that nearly destroyed it all — including the saga of the “Toxic Twins,” his partnership with guitarist Joe Perry. He writes candidly about addiction and recovery, about fame’s strange physics, and about the music that kept him alive when little else could. Loud, funny, and unexpectedly tender, these pages carry the same electric charge as his stage presence.
Rock memoirs don’t come more alive than this. Whether you’re a lifelong Aerosmith devotee or just love a great survival story, Tyler’s voice — scat-singing, soul-baring, and utterly one-of-a-kind — makes this one impossible to put down and hard to forget.
