The story behind the celebrated American rock band, legendary for their music as well as their penchant for excess. There has never been a band quite like Aerosmith. From million-sellers to bargain bins and back again, they are one of the greatest survival stories in the history of rock music.

Front men Steve Tyler and Joe Perry swaggered their way through the 1970s, regaled as America's answer to Led Zeppelin. As the decade came to a close, so did the band's fortunes, as they spiraled out of control in a blur of drink and drugs. Perry's sudden departure from the group was quickly followed by Tyler's on-stage collapse. But Tyler reemerged in 1982 with ``Rock in a Hard Place''--an album that impressed Perry into rejoining the band. Curbing their appetite for self-destruction, they have gone on to produce some of the most arresting sounds of the last ten years.

The authors' previous books include Genesis: A Biography, REM: From Chronic Town to Monster, U2: A Conspiracy of Hope, and The Cure: Faith.
