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 ; and who rose up gloriously from the ashes to reclaim their rightful titles as World Champion Rockers.

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.… (more)

One quote that
The many, many pages dedicated to drugs are frustrating to read - although the famous anecdote about Steven not recognising his own song ('It's us, fuckhead!') still makes me laugh - as are the chapters about Steven's weird (and kinky) taste in women, and (ugh!) Joe and Elyssa, but this is the real band. Well, mostly. They rocketed to fame, based on actual talent instead of Simon Cowell and his like, then self-destructed. But they're still going strong, way past the 1997 publication date of this book, so I guess that just goes to show.
