Book Reviews of Steven Tyler: The Biography
Book Review: Where is Stephen Davis for an update when you need him?
Summary: 1 Stars
This is the worst rock bio I have ever had the misfortune to read. Like or loathe Steven Tyler and his music, the man is hardly dull. Laura Jackson, in this dreary, hagiographic cut-and paste job (complete with inaccurate plagiarism) has made an utter hash of what should have been a no-brainer. [...].
Summary of Steven Tyler: The Biography
Steven Tyler is one of life's natural born survivors. With an exhaustively vibrant personality, this dynamic lead singer has been one of the most distinctive figures in rock music for more than three decades. Raised in a close, loving family, Tyler survived a tough upbringing in the Bronx. His inherent passion for performing and a talent for playing instruments propelled him into rock music as a teenager. He fronted a succession of local bands before meeting the guys with whom he would form Aerosmith in 1970. Laura Jackson reveals the stories behind Tyler's relationships with band members and the many women in his life, his battle with Hepatitis C, and his drug-fuelled meltdown during the late '70s and early '80s when he was snorting pure heroin. She also explores his visits to rehab in the 1980s which saved his life. Tyler has lived a roller coaster life of excess - spending over a million dollars on drugs - but is miraculously still performing. Steven Tyler: the biography tells his incredible story.General Books
