As the author of the Led Zeppelin biography HAMMER OF THE GODS, one of the great rock books about one of the great rock bands, Stephen Davis is perhaps uniquely qualified as a chronicler of rock & roll intemperance. His Aerosmith bio, co-authored with the band's members, is a detailed history of the roots, the music, and the druggy dissipation of an outfit as celebrated for its lifestyle choices as for its music. WALK THIS WAY begins with the Mick Jaggeresque singer Steven Tyler's disarming recounting of what sounds like an idyllic childhood in New Hampshire. It swiftly evolves into a soap opera-like litany of sex, drugs, intrigue, and betrayal--with the occasional foray into rock & roll. Individual contributions from each band member add up to a story that at times resembles the pharmacological equivalent of a train wreck. The band ultimately pulls itself back from the brink of disaster, but not before taking readers on a nail-biting ride through some of the juiciest tales of excess in the annals of rock. You simply can't make this stuff up.
