Product ReviewsDoes the Noise in My Head Bother You? : A Rock 'n' Roll Memoir by Steven Tyler (2011, Hardcover)

How the songs came to be....

What can you say about Tyler? He's one of the few True rock stars today, and when he writes an autobiography, you pretty much know how its going to go...Sex Drugs and Rock and Roll..Ive grown up with Aerosmith, and anyone who knows anything about them know's about all the drug trouble..He say's he's clean now, I hope he is. The book tells of the drug use, and seems to be pretty much the topic throughout the book. He rat's out a lot of people, which I don't agree with, but I guess that's part of which people love to read about. This book is not a page turner, and is pretty much like all other rock star bio's. If you like Aerosmith it's good to read, he tell's how he come up with a lot of the band's popular songs, (usually when he was high). I wish he could have cleaned up his language for the book, but I guess that is how he talks. Entirely too many F bombs, and to me, he glamorizes drugs...Don't let the young and/or impressionable read this. It is not a book I am keeping for my library, in fact already sold it on ebay! It's good book, interesting read but I think I may be done with reading any more rock star bio's....same thing over and over. One of the main reasons I liked this one is as I mentioned earlier, he tells how he wrote some of the bands biggest hits...Read it, but try to get it a discounted price like I did...Off ebay, the library, etc...Read full review...

Not the same ole song and dance

Steven Tyler has long long been one of my favorites!! This book, however, was not very well organized and sometimes hard to hold your attention. A lot of the book rambles with his scattered thoughts. It did give some background on rehab and band problems, but then again, they were usually in rebuttal to rumors or accusations other band members had thrown his way. Overall, I'm glad I read it. Couldnt sleep until I did, but I have to admit it was easy to put down and go back to later. Still love Steven Tyler, but he should stick to song writing and hire a writer next time.Read full review...

Wow, what a read.

Very good reading, would recommend to any baby boomer!!!!! Oh, the memories. It was great reading about the early 70's and on, knew everyone was so drugged but had really know idea how much went on in a rockers life. It's remarkable he's alive to tell his story, and has finely and hopefully put that all behind him. Very interesting childhood, how he grew up was pretty intense, but he survived to tell us all about it.Read full review...

I haven’t read that much of the book yet, but I have enjoyed it so far, and it has a lot of great photos. I got a sweet deal on the book, but it is actually worth the cover price. It’s a high quality volume. Read full review...

Amazing Read!!

This is a fascinating book about the life and adventures of Steven Tyler. He addresses his childhood in detail and the formation of the band Aeorsmith. He does not hold back on the debauchery and drug use throughout his life. Although a prodigy of the sex, drugs and rock and roll lifestyle, he maintained his humanity and often misunderstood sensitivity. I found this book particularly interesting because I understand what he means by "the noise in his head." I further understand how this overactive brain contributed to his drug addiction. I read this book in rehab and it helped me understood the factors that influence my own struggle with addiction. I highly recommend this book to anyone dealing with the challenges of recovery. It is inspirational. For anyone who loves Aeorsmith or the rock and roll lifestyle, this book does not disappoint!!Read full review...

Loved it, you want to know what a Rock Star's life is like, read this!!!

I'm a huge Aerosmith/Steven Tyler fan so this book was a must have. When he titled the Book: Does the Noise in my Head bother you? He did that for good reason, because he has sooo many stories and so much to say that he just blurts it all out. I've read reviews that say he's a terrible writer... Well that's because he's not a writer, he's a ROCK STAR!! I didn't read this expecting it to be a nice little story, I wanted to hear about the music, why he wrote Dream on, Who he married, why the divorced, life on the road, life off the road, his kids. Records, fights, drugs, Sex, Money, it's all in there, and it's told in HIS words so is it awesome, YES! It totally sounds like him, and I thoroughly enjoyed every page of it. I'm glad to have it to put on my Bookshelf.Read full review...
