Book Reviews of Walk This Way: The Autobiography of Aerosmith

Book Review: A Bit of a Tease
Summary: 3 Stars

The Real Meaty Bits are Left out, such as:

1) What was the Love triangle Between Joe, Joe's First
Wife, Elyssa, and Steven that went back to Lake Sunapee, New Hampshire?

2) What transpired between Terry Hamilton and Elissya Perry
that caused the milk throwing incident in Cleveland resulting
in the band's demise. All other details in the book are remembered so well, yet they gloss over the most important one.

3) How did these guys avoid the Viet Nam draft? They were perfect candidates. In Iggy Pop's book, he explains, and so does Ted Nugent. Not these guys though.

All in all the book is a page turner but comes off more as a cheerleading rah, rah session for the band rather than a 'warts and all' bio. All the drug glamorization etc., reinforces their God-Like Stature. Nothing about the tumultuous early political stuff from the 70's and its effect on their music. Hedonism at is best. Cheers.
