Steven Tyler

The long-awaited, never-before-told, no-holds-barred memoir from the legendary Aerosmith frontman. Finally, all the lurid tales of debauchery, sex, drugs and rock n' roll are told straight from the horse's lips as The Demon of Screamin' describes his unimaginable highs and unbelievable lows as lead singer of the biggest rock band in the world. Prolific frontman, rock icon and sex symbol, Steven Tyler is a living legend. With his raw, sharp-edged vocals, musical versatility and unprecedented song writing skills, Tyler has, as lead singer of Aerosmith, sold millions of records and played sell-out concerts to as many as 450,000 people. Now, at last, he tells his own story, taking us on a wild rollercoaster ride through the bust-ups, binges, or gies and good old American excess in the jaw-droppingly honest, in-your-face way that only Tyler can. Following a fateful meeting with his 'mutant twin' Joe Perry in the summer of 1970, Aerosmith was formed!and the rest, as they say, is rock history. They released their first album in 1973, and by 1976 Aerosmith had gone from being nobodies to massive to off the radar, making history as a multi-platinum, chart-topping band. But with great success comes great excess. Nicknamed the Toxic Twins for their insatiable appetite for drugs, booze and women, Tyler and Perry got caught up in the glamour of self-destruction - smashing each other up with guitars, having seizures and passing out on stage. By 1980 it seemed that the band and its members w ere set to implode, but after successful stints in drug rehab, Aerosmith were back on track and better than ever. But although he may have given up his wicked, wicked ways, Tyler still enjoys talking about the bad old days. He has so many outrageous stories to tell, and he's gonna tell them all. All the uncensored, head-spinning tales of debauchery, sex, booze, transcendence and chemical dependence you will ever want to hear. As raucous, intoxicating and edgy as his music, this is the most outra geous rock n' roll autobiography of all time.

Zpěvák americké kapely Aerosmith spořádal hodně drog a vyspal se s fůrou ženských. A jak to tak u podobných excentriků bývá, nestydí se o tom mluvit. Jeho vlastní životopis je tudíž velmi zábavný a napínavý. Steven Tyler jakožto autor většiny textů Aerosmith je skvělý a výrazně kreativní vypravěč, takže vás zaujme, ani nemusí mluvit o drogách či sexu. Vtipně a poutavě líčí už své dětství, prožité v 50. letech v Bronxu. Při vyprávění drží prst na tepu doby, a tak se čtenář dozvídá i leccos o tom, jak se v které době v USA lidem žilo.

Amerika legnagyobb rock 'n' roll zenekarának, az Aerosmith-nek ikonikus énekese és dalszerzője, Steven Victor Tallarico, vagyis Steven Tyler 1948. március 26-án született a New York-i Yonkersben. Tylert a rocktörténet egyik legjobb frontemberének tartják - többek között a Rolling Stones magazin is a világ egyik legjobb énekesének választotta. Miután a '60-as évek végén az Aerosmith megalakult a New Hanpshire-i Sunapee-ben, az öt zenész - az énekes Steven Tyler, a gitáros Joe Perry, a basszusgitáros Tom Hamilton, a ritmusgitáros Ray Tabano, akinek helyére később Brad Whitford került, és a dobos Joey Kramer - úgy döntött, Bostonba költözik, és onnan indultak világhódító útjukra. Azóta több mint százmillió lemezt adtak el világszerte, és rengeteg díjat nyertek - számos Grammyt, valamint American Music, Bilboard és MTV Awardot. A zenekart 2001-ben iktatták be a Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame-be. Az Aerosmith nemcsak a színpadon, hanem a film, a televíziózás, a sport és a videojátékok világában is emlékezeteset alakított: szerepeltek a Wayne világa című filmben, a Simpson család-ban, felléptek a 2001-es Super Bowlon, és a Guitar Hero Aerosmith különkiadása is hatalmas sikert aratott. "Dont't Want to Miss a Thing" című számukat az Armageddon című film betétdalaként Oscar-díjra jelölték. 2010 decemberében, egy Sir Paul McCartney tiszteletére rendezett esten Tyler fellépett Obama elnök és felesége, Michelle Obama előtt. 2011. januárjában pedig Jennifer Lopez és Randy Jackson mellett zsűritag lett a nagy sikerű American Idol című televíziós műsorban.
