In this riveting inside account of his life in rock-and-roll band
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
singer 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. The story
of Aerosmith is not your average rock-and-roll tale. It's an epic
saga, at once a study in brotherhood and solitude that plays out on
the killing fields of rock and roll. With record-making hits and
colossal album sales that compete with legends such as U2 and Frank
Sinatra, Aerosmith has earned their place in the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame. But with a sweeping comeback in the late 80s, one can see
there is a bigger story here: to come back that high, you have to
have plummeted pretty low. Aerosmith's game with fame is one of
success, failure, rebirth, re-destruction, even the
post-destructive rebirth, but here they are today, in their 60s and
still on top. 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.
