Description

The child of the classical pianist straight-out of the Bronx of previous Archie comics, Steven Tyler was created to be always a rock-star. Weaned on Cole Porter, Nat King Cole, Mick—and his precious Janis Joplin—Tyler started ripping up the phase and the roads like a teen-ager before ultimately achieving his "renowned companion Joe Perry" and mutant double. Within this addictively readable memoir, told in the fun, graceful style that's distinctly their own, Tyler openly recounts the meteoric rise, fall, and rise of Aerosmith during the last three years and riffs about the audio that gives everything meaning. Tyler shows what it's prefer to be considered a living icon and the frontman of 1 of the planet's most respected and notorious bands—the debauchery, the cash, the prestige, the battles, the motels and resorts, the elevators, limousines, buses and planes, the rehabilitation.
