JOE PERRY Rocks - My Life In and Out of Aerosmith (2014 UK
432-page hardback book - In this riveting inside account of
his life in Aerosmith, Joe Perry opens up for the first time to
tell the story of his wild, unbridled life as the band's lead
guitarist. He delves deep into his volatile, profound, and
enduring relationship with Steve Tyler, and reveals the real
people behind the larger-than-life rock-gods on stage. It's an
intimate account of nearly five decades of mega highs and
heartbreaking lows. With a foreword written by Johnny
Depp, 'Rocks' is ultimately a story of endurance, and it
starts almost half a century ago with young Perry, the
misanthrope whose loving parents practically begged him to
assimilate, but who quits school because he doesn't want to
cut his hair. He meets Tyler in a restaurant in Boston, sways
him from pop music to the darker side, rock-and-roll, and it
doesn't take long for the "Toxic Twins" to skyrocket into a
world of fame, drugs, and utter excess. Perry takes a
personal look into the two stars behind Aerosmith, the people
who enabled them, the ones who controlled them, and the
ones who changed them)
