Joe perrys autobiography

Rocks

“A mini-masterpiece . . . Just as the preeminent Stones book was an autobiography from its guitarist, Aerosmith ax man Joe Perry has now given us the best book on [Aerosmith]. . . . The meat of the book proves to be the relationship between Perry and frontman Steven Tyler, a rock ’n’ roll partnership with all of the carnage, love, backbiting, separations, and reunions you’d expect. Perry’s anecdotes could have been flown in from some acerock ’n’ roll-centric novel, and do more than amuse; the best enlighten, notjust about this band and the partnership at the core of it, but the very natureof creativity itself.” The Boston Globe

“An excellent read . . . There are times when Perry’s descriptions of Tyler’s interactions with himself and others are laced with near-hatred and disgust . . . but there are also the moments when you realize that if Shakespeare had ever written a play about rock ’n’ roll blood brothers, the two male leads would’ve been Joe Perry and Steven Tyler.” Guitar World

“Thrilling . . . An intimate narrative . . . This is the raw Aerosmith . .

The guitarist’s book follows Aerosmith drummer Joey Kramer’s 2009 memoir Hit Hard: A Story of Hitting Rock Bottom at the Top and Steven Tyler’s 2011 effort Does the Noise in My Head Bother You?. “I’ve wanted to write one for a while,” says Perry. “But Joey put his book out and I wanted to leave some room there and then Steven put his book out. I didn’t want to make it seem like mine was an answer to his, so I waited a little longer.”
