There are too few like him! I feel like I understand him a little better. I'm so glad he exists in the universe with us!Luxembourghttp://failure4life.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-84001916832815504312011-09-26T16:46:02.358-04:002011-09-26T16:46:02.358-04:00This sounds like an AWESOME production, although I...This sounds like an AWESOME production, although I don't think I'm interested enough in him or Aerosmith to actually check it out.Jen - Devourer of Bookshttp://www.devourerofbooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-11944193673291756812011-09-24T14:42:19.507-04:002011-09-24T14:42:19.507-04:00i'm not really an aerosmith fan, but i did fli...i'm not really an aerosmith fan, but i did flip through this book at costco last week. i listened to ozzy osborne's audiobook this year and that was enough rock and roll hi-jinx for me for one year. glad you enjoyed this one and that it gave you some insight and perspective. :)natalie @ book, line, and sinkerhttp://booklineandsinker.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-2690593556665295532011-09-24T09:18:01.680-04:002011-09-24T09:18:01.680-04:00Sold!

At first, I was annoyed that Steven Tyler hadn't narrated the audio edition of his own memoir; but I could hear Steven Tyler's unique style through Jeremy Davidson. And then, after listening to Steven Tyler talk about the book itself at the end of the audio, I realized that while he might have added extra value to the audio as a celebrity-author-narrator, I'm not so sure he could have been tethered to the text even if it was his own book!<br /><br />I wasn't bothered about the language or shocked at any of the accounts. Maybe because I've heard worse (cf Led Zeppelin's biography, Hammer of the Gods (by Stephen Davis))?<br /><br />I'm definitely now interested in Joey Kramer's memoir, Hit Hard, narrated by Holter Graham and; Dream On: Living on the Edge with Steven Tyler and Aerosmith (written and narrated by Cyrinda Foxe) even though I heard that she was rather a bitter woman :-/dog eared copyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17541260257975870624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-12427622195517940622011-09-23T21:27:19.557-04:002011-09-23T21:27:19.557-04:00Such a good review ...

It seems like I am right about that from what you say about the book. I haven't watched him on American Idol, but it might just be something worth checking out. I really need to read this one, but I have been sort of scared off by my experience with the Life by Keith Richards. It sounds like this was the more accessible book out of the two.Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-68039722749558853142011-09-23T10:00:43.165-04:002011-09-23T10:00:43.165-04:00I would like to know more about him, but I don'...I would like to know more about him, but I don't know if I could listen to the language and the private parts stuff!rhapsodyinbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041412748239010264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-82164526460393008212011-09-23T09:22:38.572-04:002011-09-23T09:22:38.572-04:00I know we talked about this some last weekend, but...I know we talked about this some last weekend, but I couldn't help but wonder what Tyler would think if people talked about his daughters the way he talks about women.
