Another book about addiction...I have been into Aerosmith since the 70's, and of course always heard the horror stories about all the drugs these guys have done..Although this book of course was about the drummer, Joey Kramer, he does mention a lof of the stuff that went on..He had a terrible relationship with his father and mother, which I think a lot of teenagers back then did, the age of rock and roll, drugs, etc...I just can't imagaine a life growing up like that..My father was so the opposite, a fact that I see more and more every day getting older. He is a special man...but back to the book..Aerosmith has been my fav band for years, and have seen them several times in concert..They rock, and its nice to know that for the past couple of decades, they are doing it drug free..I have also expereinced some of the anxiety/depression that Joey has, and i can tell you a lot of how he feels and what he says hits home with me...for different reasons..It's an ugly disease, and he should get an award for coming out and talking about it like he does in the book...Great book, a fast read, and like other addcition books, hard to put down at times..Keep working on putting the demons at bay Joey, and keep on rocking aerosmith..see ya next time you come to Kansas City!Read full review
Kramer had to overcome a lot based on his contentious relationship with his father. While reading, I found myself reflecting on my own demons. If you’re an Aerosmith fan, you’ll like this book.

If you are an Aerosmith lover, or battle with any addiction, this book can speak to you. Sure, being famous seems ok, but Joey comes out and shares his frailty and despair on a topic most will not discuss. I really enjoyed the book, and felt like I got a little nugget into Joey's life to understand who he is a little better. Makes me love Aerosmith all the more and Joey.
This is a great book. Truthful, coming from Joey, himself. Written for easy reading. Wonderful color pictures. Nice addition to my Aerosmith collection.
Great item. Would buy again.
