Resumen del Editor

In the tradition of the megabestseller Life by Keith Richards, Aerosmith’s Joe Perry opens up for the first time about the wild inside story of his life in the legendary band he cofounded in 1970 - which is still going strong today.

In Rocks, Joe Perry exposes his unrepentant, unbridled life as the lead guitarist of Aerosmith. 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 onstage. The nearly five-decade saga of Aerosmith is epic, 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, Aerosmith has earned their place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. But theirs is ultimately a story of endurance, and it starts almost half a century ago, with young Perry, the rebel whose loving parents wanted him to assimilate but who quit school because he didn't want to cut his hair. He met Tyler in a restaurant in New Hampshire and swayed him from pop music to rock and roll, and it didn't take long for the "Toxic Twins" to skyrocket into a world of fame and utter excess.

From the megasuccessful song and music video with Run DMC, "Walk This Way", to the realization that he couldn’t pay his room service bill, Perry takes a personal look into the human stories behind Aerosmith, the people who enabled them, the ones who controlled them, and the ones who changed them. In his own words, Rocks is the whole story: "the loner’s story, the band’s story, the recovery story, the cult story, the love story, the success story, the failure story, the rebirth story, the redestruction story, the postdestructive rebirth story".

A must read and listen for the hardcore music fan

I am an even bigger Joe Perry Fan after hearing this. Joe Perry tells about the highs and lows of his life, his relationship with his Aerosmith Brothers and what inspired him to not accept no as an answer when it came to what he wanted to do with his life. The story he tells keeps you captivated and you will not want to press pause or stop. Joe tells it like it is and does not leave out any parts, whether they be good or bad. Great book Joe!!!

Comparable to Keith Richard’s Life

This book is the greatest rock memoir i’ve read along with Life from Richards. If you like music, rock and even more, Aerosmith, this is a must listen

Inspirational

This audio book was without doubt the greatest book I have listened to. Joe tells a believable story of life as a dedicated and passionate musician. I genuinely felt moved by his story. I didnt know much about Joe, the man, before I started the book, incorrectly believing that Aerosmith were musicians backing a great front man. At the conclusion of the book it is obvious the drive and talent came from all the band members, especially Joe. His story is told in a very understated way, and I URGE you to read it. 10 out of 10

Perry Rocks!!

Great story, told by one of the greatest guitar players of our time. After reading his book, I feel like I know the man personally. I really admire his character. He is an inspiration. I'll definitely listen to this one again.

Joe Perry is a great reader with an even better story

His voice is pleasant to listen to and it’s really awesome to get to hear the story of Aerosmith told from someone who actually lived it. I thought the book was great.

Joe Perry Rocks!

Loved it. Kept me interested from start to finish. I had read Stephen Tyler's book and it was great to get an inside perspective from Joe Perry.

A Walk Back in Rock 'n Roll Time

I was genuinely dissapointed when I finished this book. Not because it wasn't good because I didn't want it to end. The stories were a walk back in time through the career of one of rock 'n roll's coolest & greatest guitar players (IMHO, but tough to argue nevertheless). Maybe it was exacerbated by my southern heritage but Joe Perry's presentation/narration truly made this book engaging given his genuine "Bastan" accent. Thanks for a great listen Joe...wouldn't be surprised if I didn't listen again.
