The Noise Inside My Head


Does the Noise in My Head Bother You?Does the Noise in My Head Bother You? by Steven Tyler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Yeah, I liked this book.  Steven Tyler tells a good story, as if he was talking right to me.  He is a crazy man, talented, focused, drug addled and definitely has LSD.  Love the title, too.  It sets the tone for the book.

He is likable and dedicated to his music--and that has come through consistently in the three rock autobiographies (Keith Richards, Sammy Hagar and Tyler) I have read in the last few months.  No doubt these guys were into drugs in a big way but the music was everything to them--at the expense of their relationships, kids and health.  Tyler talks about writing, and getting the music right.  Huh.  I just thought it was rock and roll, not a process.  I am listening to music much differently now.

Recommend if you want to know more about the rock and roll lifestyle and read a fantastic tale.
