Non-Fiction Memoir
"I've been mythicized, Mick-icized, eulogized and
fooligized, I've been Cole-Portered and farmer's-daughtered,
I've been Led Zepped and 12-stepped. I'm a rhyming fool and
so cool that me, Fritz the Cat, and Mohair Sam are the
baddest cats that am. I have so many outrageous stories, too
many, and I'm gonna tell 'em all. All the unexpurgated,
brain-jangling tales of debauchery, sex & drugs,
transcendence & chemical dependence you will ever want to hear." The son of a classical pianist straight out of the Bronx of
old Archie comics, Steven Tyler was born to be a rock star.
Weaned on Cole Porter, Nat King Cole, Mick—and his beloved
Janis Joplin—Tyler began tearing up the streets and the
stage as a teenager before finally meeting his "mutant twin"
and legendary partner Joe Perry. In this addictively
readable memoir, told in the playful, poetic voice that is
uniquely his own, Tyler unabashedly recounts the meteoric
rise, fall, and rise of Aerosmith over the last three
decades and riffs on the music that gives it all meaning. Tyler tells what it's like to be a living legend and the
frontman of one of the world's most revered and infamous
bands—the debauchery, the money, the notoriety, the fights,
the motels and hotels, the elevators, limos, buses and jets,
the rehab. He reveals the spiritual side that "gets lost
behind the stereotype of the Sex Guy, the Drug Guy, the
Demon of Screamin', the Terror of the Tropicana." And he
talks about his epic romantic life and his relationship with
his four children. As dazzling, bold, and out-on-the-edge as
the man himself, Does the Noise in My Head Bother You? is an
all-access backstage pass into this extraordinary showman's
life.
