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.

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 yearsSing for the laughter, sing for the tearsSing with me, if its just for todayMaybe tomorrow the good lord will take you awayDream on, dream onDream 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.

This book always sticks in my mind because I happened to have it in my work bag to read on 9/11, so when I got stuck down in DC waiting for the public transportation to open up again, I just sat on a patch of lawn, cracked open "Walk This Way" and spent some quality time with Steven, Joe and the rest of the boys. Later that day I read it in the McDonald's which was the only place we could find open to eat in, and later that week I read it on a couple of planes and sitting up late in a hotel room where I was visiting my band friends on tour. Thanks to Aerosmith and the author for giving me a fine easy and not too sleazy rock read to focus on that week, it really helped.Getting on to the merits of the book, I enjoyed the format of having the story told by each of the band members in turn (sort of like "The Dirt" which is probably the gold standard for hard rock/ metal band bios). I prefer to get the stories in the band members' own words and their voices come across nicely. The tales of Steve and Joe's teenage band performances go on for a little too long in my opinion, but once you get over that hump, the band's early years move along at a pretty fast clip, and it's especially fun to read about the origins of the hit songs like "Dream On" and "Sweet Emotion". Before long, the tales of excess begin to crowd out the tales of musicianship, and I was shocked to read about the depths to which Steve and Joe both sunk before they got help.My favorite story was the one about how Aerosmith almost leased the plane that later crashed and killed several members of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Fortunately, Aerosmith had a very responsible pilot who warned that the plane didn't seem safe, so they didn't lease it. Skynyrd leased the plane instead, with tragic results.I would have liked to see a few more pictures, particularly of the band's wives and ladies. It seems like Elyssa Jerret gets the lion's share of the attention in the book (mostly negative) just as she reportedly demanded it for the years she was with the band. I'd like to hear more of that story, but it seems out of place in a book about the band, since she was not a band member as much as she apparently tried to be front and center.
