WALK THIS WAY is like nothing you've ever experienced before. This is NOT some whitewashed, overblown hype penned by some fawning fanzine journalist...or a one-sided exposi spewed out by a pissed-off one-time insider. Walk This Way is the real thing an almost day-by-day account of the high and low life of a true rock 'n' roll monster, in the words of the guys who made it happen: Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton, Brad Whitford and Joey Kramer. Here is a quarter-century of rock godhood, told with no holds barred or punches pulled--the life, the music, the legends, the truth, the hell; the lost weeks and the raunchy, unsafe sex. And, of course, the drugs.
"I mean, we're not talking schizophrenia here. Just self-destructive with a sense of humor." --Joe Perry
By far and away the most candid rock 'n' roll autobiography ever written, Walk This Way is the complete story of five incomparable and uncompromising musical artists who pulled themselves up from nowhere to become rock icons; who crashed and burned spectacularly in a suffocating cloud of cocaine, crystal meth and heroin; and who rose up gloriously from the ashes to reclaim their rightful title as World Champion Rockers.
But much more than a chronicle of violent abuse and brain-numbing excess, it is a breathtaking study in genius--an exhilarating look deep inside the music: what spawned and inspired, birthed and molded the sound that still blows a nation away with the force of a hurricane. This is Aerosmith unbound: where they came from, what they are now, and what they always will be, first and foremost--a truly great American band.
Hang on, it's a hell of a ride.

From Aerosmith's heyday in the late 1970s, which they spent "gacked to the nines" (as lead singer Steven Tyler puts it), to the Aerosmith of today--clean, sober, and adored by millions--the band has a long, hard history. Walk This Way chronicles the whole story: drugs, booze, and all.
Prefaced with the now familiar rock-star "intervention," when Steven Tyler's loved ones cornered him in his manager's office in 1986, the autobiography traces Aerosmith's twisted road, from their New Hampshire roots to their success in Boston to the worldwide fame that they long craved and currently enjoy. Tyler kicks off this rock & roll exposé, briefly recounting the history of his ancestors in Italy and sharing incidents from his own Northeast childhood. The book is written in interview style, with all five band members talking candidly about the good times--and the bad. We also hear from girlfriends, wives, friends, and various hangers-on.
The story of Aerosmith and their constant ups, downs, and detours never fails to grab you and force you to read another page--if only to see what train wreck awaits around the next corner. Walk This Way is a must-read for devoted fans of Aerosmith as well as anybody who wants to live the full-on '70s rock-star life--without having to go through rehab. --Paul DeBruler
Review
It's amazing they can still walk, period. Chronicling these grizzled rock survivors from their '70s heyday through their sobriety-fueled comeback, this oral history finds Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, and cohorts readily copping to excessive partying, under-the-influence record making, band-wife catfights, lost fortunes--and drugs, lots of 'em. Each time they reach a new low in self-abuse, Aerosmith top themselves, making Walk This Way a rarity among rock memoirs--a what-now? page-turner. -- Entertainment Weekly
From the Back Cover
Hang on, it's a hell of a ride!
From the band that lived by the motto "Anything worth doing was worth overdoing" -- Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton, Brad Whitford, and Joey Kramer -- comes a quarter century of rock godhood: the life, the music, the truth, the hell, the lost years, and the raunchy, unsafe sex.
And, of course, the drugs.
But after crashing in a suffocating cloud of cocaine, crystal meth, and heroin, Aerosmith rose up from the ashes to become clean and sober -- and reclaim their rightful title as World Champion Rockers. Learn how they did it in a book that is pure Aerosmith unbound: where they came from, what they are now, and what they will always be -- a great American band.

A Candid Autobiography
By J.L. Populist
This autobiography is a tell-all type of book. All of the band members and lots of the people around them participated in the book.
What I liked was the format. Each chapter had input from band members and other people that were involved in that particular chapter. You might have a girlfriend or manager also telling their view of an event. It's almost like a series of interviews.
The legend of the "Toxic Twins" is well-known to the generation that grew up listening to Aerosmith of the 70s. But the addictions went beyond just Steven Tyler and Joe Perry. It engulfed the entire band and many of the people around them. That makes the comeback of the 80s even more remarkable.
The members of Aerosmith climbed their share of mountains and had a lot of battles among themselves before they made what I think was some terrific music on "Permanent Vacation", "Nine Lives", and "Pump."
Any good band biography or autobiography will share details about who contributed in what way on each album or song. "Walk This Way" delivers on that count.
This isn't one of those books that leaves the reader wanting more, it's mostly laid out there in open view. Warts and all.
Is everything in the book? Probably not, but it's candid enough that you get a basic idea of just what kind of toll the rock roll lifestyle can take on the individual members of a wildly popular rock and roll band.
It's definitely worth the read.

Difficult narrative to follow...More like an interview.
By Claire
This book so far is a little difficult to read because it plays like one long interview where each band member makes statements and then they are all pieced together into one long narrative. I have not read the whole thing because I find it difficult to follow. I would have preferred to have it read like the standard biography or autobiography where there is a cohesive narrative. I guess since this autobiography is technically by the whole band, it is difficult to achieve one long narrative but since Motley Crue was able to do it with "The Dirt" I figured Aerosmith could do it as well. It would have been cool if each member contributed various chapters focusing on various times in their lives. Fortunately, Steven Tyler's solo autobiography reads a lot better and much more easily.

Dream Until Your Dreams Come True
By Jim Muccio
I arrived late to the Blue Army, in fact I didn't see Aerosmith live until October 1998 at the Nissan Pavilion midway through their "Nine Lives Tour". Now, over eleven years after that gig I've read their biography, "Walk this Way" told through the mouths of the Band and fashioned together by the talented rock & roll biographer Stephen Davis. I was not expecting a five-star read. First, this is not literature in any sense of the word. It is not a written story. It is the transcribed oral history of an extended interview with the insiders of the band taken from the memories of their lives together over their first three decades. Second, as I write this, their story continues. Aerosmith is finishing their fourth decade of hard rock and at 61 years of age Steven Tyler took a tumble off the stage during a performance in South Dakota busting his shoulder and splitting open his head. Aerosmith has subsequently cancelled a few tour dates to, "get healthy". These guys never quit. In the late sixties they dreamed of becoming rock & rollers. Though hard work in the seventies they did it and provided an American response to the British invasion. But then they fell, hitting rock bottom in the eighties. Their music lived on through the influence it provided to several generations and genres as they, Aerosmith, continued to destroy themselves from within. They fought with each other, they fought against the darkness of drug addiction, and they fought against the industry and agents they had trusted and relied on. But they recovered, all of them, and arose from the ashes alive, like no other band has ever done. And now at the end of this book, during the "Nine Lives Tour" they had climbed back to the top, with clear heads and a sober outlook on life to arguably become the greatest rock & roll band of all time.
Are they American hero's and role models who overcame the vices of their industry or are they villains and the representatives of all that is wrong with the glorification of excess in a culture of sex, drugs, and rock & roll? Joe Perry is quoted as saying, 'I don't want fans to think we're clean, upstanding American boys, but we are American, and we do stand up." We can argue all day about the influence and glorification a rock & roll culture might have on our children and we can provide our children a wholesome family life attempting to shelter them from the tyranny of drugs and sex and the violent energy of hard rock. We can, in essence, shelter them from Aerosmith. But then they will never hear the simplest and perhaps greatest lyrics of all time. And personally I cannot find a thing wrong with this message.
"Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me, if its just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away
Dream on, dream on
Dream until your dreams come true..."
"Walk this Way", is a candid look into the lives of not just Aerosmith but the life of American rock & roll. If you are an American and can stand up, up-standing or other wise, and have ever listened to rock & roll and been alive during the 70's, 80's, and 90's, this book is your biography as well. Where were you in 1975 when "Toys in the Attic" was release? Where were you in 1980 when Joe Perry left Aerosmith? Where were you in 1985 when he returned? And where were you, in 1989, when you first heard about love in an Elevator? Aerosmith is American rock & roll and we are all, wittingly or not, all members of the Blue Army.
