About this product

Product Information

"Steven Tyler is one of the giants of American music, who's been influential for a whole generation of Rock 'n' Roll fans around the world. Long May He Rock!" --Sir Paul McCartney Does the Noise in My Head Bother You? is the rock memoir to end all rock memoirs -- the straight-up, no-holds-barred story of Grammy Award-winning, Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame inductee, and all around superstar legend Steven Tyler, lead singer of Aerosmith (and celebrity judge on American Idol). The rock and roll epic that is Tyler's life begins with Tyler's youth in the Bronx, tracing his early music career and influences, his legendary partnership with Joe Perry, the meteoric rise, fall, and rise of Aerosmith over the last three decades, their music, Tyler's battles with substance abuse, his epic romantic life, his relationship with his four children (including actress Liv Tyler), life on the road and in the spotlight, the economics of the rock star business --and all the sex, drugs, and rock and roll that anyone could ask for. In Tyler's own words: "I've been mythicized, Mick-icized, eulogized and fooligized, I've been Cole-Portered and farmer's-daughtered, I've been Led Zepped and 12-stepped. I'm a rhyming fool and so cool that me, Fritz the Cat, and Mohair Sam are the baddest cats that am. I have so many outrageous stories, too many, and I'm gonna tell 'em all. All the unexpurgated, brain-jangling tales of debauchery, sex & drugs, transcendence & chemical dependence you will ever want to hear. And this is not just my take, this is the unbridled truth, the in-your-face, up-close and prodigious tale of Steven Tyler straight from the horse's lips."

  • How the songs came to be....

    What can you say about Tyler? He's one of the few True rock stars today, and when he writes an autobiography, you pretty much know how its going to go...Sex Drugs and Rock and Roll..Ive grown up with Aerosmith, and anyone who knows anything about them know's about all the drug trouble..He say's he's clean now, I hope he is. The book tells of the drug use, and seems to be pretty much the topic throughout the book. He rat's out a lot of people, which I don't agree with, but I guess that's part of which people love to read about. This book is not a page turner, and is pretty much like all other rock star bio's. If you like Aerosmith it's good to read, he tell's how he come up with a lot of the band's popular songs, (usually when he was high). I wish he could have cleaned up his language for ...

  • Not the same ole song and dance

    Steven Tyler has long long been one of my favorites!! This book, however, was not very well organized and sometimes hard to hold your attention. A lot of the book rambles with his scattered thoughts. It did give some background on rehab and band problems, but then again, they were usually in rebuttal to rumors or accusations other band members had thrown his way. Overall, I'm glad I read it. Couldnt sleep until I did, but I have to admit it was easy to put down and go back to later. Still love Steven Tyler, but he should stick to song writing and hire a writer next time.

  • Wow, what a read.

    Very good reading, would recommend to any baby boomer!!!!! Oh, the memories. It was great reading about the early 70's and on, knew everyone was so drugged but had really know idea how much went on in a rockers life. It's remarkable he's alive to tell his story, and has finely and hopefully put that all behind him. Very interesting childhood, how he grew up was pretty intense, but he survived to tell us all about it.

  • Steven Tyler’s Memoir

    I haven’t read that much of the book yet, but I have enjoyed it so far, and it has a lot of great photos. I got a sweet deal on the book, but it is actually worth the cover price. It’s a high quality volume.
