The eagerly awaited, unprecedented, and unrestricted autobiography of the legendary frontman of Aerosmith. Finally, all the scandalous stories of debauchery, sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll are told straight from the source, as the Demon of Screamin' describes the incredible highs and improbable lows of being the singer of the world's biggest rock band.
The prolific frontman, rock icon, and sex symbol, Steven Tyler is a living legend. With his raw, sharp vocal abilities, musical prowess, and unprecedented songwriting skills, Tyler has, as the lead singer of Aerosmith, sold millions of records and played to audiences of up to 450,000 people. Now, at last, he tells his story, taking us on a wild rollercoaster ride through the conflicts, hallucinations, and good old American excess in a disarmingly honest way that only Tyler can.
After a fateful encounter with his "mutated brother" Joe Perry in the summer of 1970, Aerosmith was formed... and the history of rock is now recorded. They released their first album in 1973, and by 1976, Aerosmith had transformed from nobodies into global stars, writing history as a multi-platinum, top-tier band.
But with great success comes great excess. Nicknamed the Toxic Twins for their insatiable appetites for drugs, alcohol, and women, Tyler and Perry were caught up in the glamor of self-destruction – breaking guitars on each other, having tantrums, and passing out on stage. By 1980, it seemed the band and its members were ready to collapse, but after successful stints in rehab clinics, Aerosmith came back better than ever.
And although he may have given up his bad ways, Tyler still enjoys talking about the old, bad days. He has so many scandalous stories to tell, and he's ready to share them all. All the steely, chilling, and explosive stories of debauchery, sex, alcohol, excess, and chemical dependency that you'll want to hear. As loud, intoxicating, and edgy as his music is, this is the most provocative rock 'n' roll autobiography of all time.
