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.
“Steven Tyler is one of the giants of American music, who’s been influential for a whole generation of Rock ’n’ Roll fans around the world. Long May He Rock!” —Sir Paul McCartney Does the Noise in My Head Bother You? is the rock memoir to end all rock memoirs—the straight-up, no-holds-barred life of Grammy Award-winning, Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame inductee, and all around superstar legend Steven Tyler, lead singer of Aerosmith (and celebrity judge on American Idol). This is it—“the unbridled truth, the in-your-face, up-close and prodigious tale of Steven Tyler straight from the horse’s lips”—as Tyler tells all, from the early years through the glory days, “All the unexpurgated, brain-jangling tales of debauchery, sex & drugs. and transcendence you will ever want to hear.”
“Steven Tyler is one of the giants of American music, who’s been influential for a whole generation of Rock ’n’ Roll fans around the world. Long May He Rock!” —Sir Paul McCartney Does the Noise in My Head Bother You? is the rock memoir to end all rock memoirs — the straight-up, no-holds-barred story of Grammy Award-winning, Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame inductee, and all around superstar legend Steven Tyler, lead singer of Aerosmith (and celebrity judge on American Idol). The rock and roll epic that is Tyler’s life begins with Tyler’s youth in the Bronx, tracing his early music career and influences, his legendary partnership with Joe Perry, the meteoric rise, fall, and rise of Aerosmith over the last three decades, their music, Tyler’s battles with substance abuse, his epic romantic life, his relationship with his four children (including actress Liv Tyler), life on the road and in the spotlight, the economics of the rock star business --and all the sex, drugs, and rock and roll that anyone could ask for. In Tyler’s own words: “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. And this is not just my take, this is the unbridled truth, the in-your-face, up-close and prodigious tale of Steven Tyler straight from the horse’s lips.”
Wilde Drogenexzesse, sexuelle Eskapaden, grandiose Erfolge mit der Band Aerosmith und vier Kinder von drei Frauen – Steven Tyler hat nicht nur als Sänger und Frontmann Geschichte geschrieben. Sein Leben gleicht einer Achterbahnfahrt mit Höhen, Tiefen und mehrfachen Loopings. In "Does the Noise in My Head Bother You? Meine Rock'n'Roll Memoiren" erzählt er seine aufregende Lebensgeschichte nun erstmals selbst. Dabei gibt er äußerst persönliche Einblicke in seine Jugend in der Bronx, den Aufstieg, Fall und Wiederaufstieg von Aerosmith, das Leben im Rampenlicht und in die wirtschaftlichen Hintergründe des Rockgeschäftes. Tyler spricht über seine Romanzen und die Beziehungen zu seinen Kindern ebenso offen wie über seinen immerwährenden Kampf gegen die Drogen. Seine Geschichte ist atemberaubend, rasant, verrückt. Kurz: purer Rock'n'Roll!
La venerable trinidad compuesta por sexo, drogas y rocanrol constituye a estas alturas un tópico próximo a la chuminada aun cuando Steven Tyler se haya consagrado a los ejercicios trinitarios con un paroxismo sulfúrico capaz de disolver hasta los lugares más comunes. En lo tocante al primer apartado podemos afirmar sin miedo a error que incluso los más consumados atletas genitales rinden sus humilladas cabezas ante las acrobacias de nuestro héroe, cuyo inagotable repertorio de incontinencias es motivo de estupefacción y, por supuesto, de envidia. Con respecto al segundo baste decir que él mismo cifra en veinte millones los dólares dedicados a la adquisición de las sustancias ilícitas empleadas para conocer el éxtasis y, en varias ocasiones, el borde de la muerte. Las lícitas ni se computan. El tercer sacramento se resume mediante un nombre que ha electrizado a varias generaciones y ha vendido unos ciento cincuenta millones de discos: Aerosmith. Ese vendaval sonoro acumula ya cuarenta y cinco años, los suficientes para que su voz cantante haya tomado plena conciencia de que es un cuerpo celeste situado en una órbita compartida con, digamos, Keith Richards o el difunto Jimi Hendrix. De acuerdo con los rituales de la galaxia, Steven Tyler ha tomado la pluma para contarlo todo (absolutamente) con tantos pelos y tantas señales que deja otras memorias roqueras convertidas en almibarados cuentos de guardería. El resultado es este descaro, este desacato obsceno en forma de libro.
Researchers, get busy!" and "caveat emptor" are the messages of this iteration (last, 1993; first, 1982) by herbalists Tyler (pharmacognosy, Purdue U.) and Foster, as they cull herbs' healing virtues from the hype. Alphabetical entries from alfalfa to yucca provide: a brief description, proper nomenclature, plant from which derived, comments on usage, accessible discussion of the chemistry/pharmacology of its active components, evaluation of probable utility, and references. A 16-page summary chart may alone be worth the price. No illustrations, though. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Teen homelessness is not always connected to poverty and crime. Sometimes there's more to the story. No Known Address follows a teen named Tyler from a privileged family in Victoria, British Columbia, who is kicked out of his home by his abusive dad after being blamed for bringing prescription narcotics to a party. This novel brings to light the serious nature of verbal and emotional abuse and how difficult it is to be understood and access support in such circumstances.
Warning: No celeb was spared during the writing of this tongue-in-cheek stroll down the red carpet of fashion, fame, ego, and blinding glitter. Written by the man who isn’t afraid to tell Christina Aguilera her hairdo is a disaster, Red Carpet Diaries could make you feel you know more about Hollywood shtick than Nicole Kidman’s stylist. If you begin to get too much pleasure from Cojocaru’s lizard-skin-jumpsuited journey from ridiculed misfit to #2 on Cynthia Rowley’s speed dial, put the book down and turn on an episode of Antiques Roadshow to calm your heart rate.Imbued with style that is pure Steven, and packed with insider gossip from a man who spends his days chatting with the stars, this irresistible memoir is a peek behind the glamorous façade to the real deal—the dirt beneath the red carpet.
