The story behind the celebrated American rock band, legendary for their music as well as their penchant for excess. Published to coincide with a new album and 12-month world tour. 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.

Biografie skupiny Genesis "… Decca zjistila, že v Americe působí obskurní R&B skupina Genesis a trvala na tom, že King musí kapele najít jiný název. Ten ale odmítl, protože název skupiny těsně souvisel s obsahem natočeného alba. Našel ale kompromis: na obalu se objevil jen jeho název From Genesis To Revelation, žádné jméno skupiny…", tolik z biografie známých Genesis Petera Gabriela & spol (Dave Bowler & Bryan Dray: Genesis - A Biography).
