About this listen
WITH AN INTERVIEW RECORDING OF STEVEN TYLER. The no-holds-barred memoir from the legendary Aerosmith frontman has arrived. Tales of debauchery, sex, drugs and rock n' roll are read for the audiobook. The Demon of Screamin' describes the highs and lows as lead singer of the biggest rock band in the world.
WITH EXTRA INTERVIEW RECORDED FOOTAGE OF STEVEN TYLER this Prolific frontman, rock icon and sex symbol is a living legend. With his raw, sharp-edged vocals, musical versatility and unprecedented song writing skills, Tyler has, as lead singer of Aerosmith, sold millions of records and played sell-out concerts to as many as 450,000 people. Now, at last, he tells his own story, taking us on a wild rollercoaster ride through the bust-ups, binges, orgies and good old American excess in the jaw-droppingly honest, in-your-face way that only Tyler can.
Following a fateful meeting with his 'mutant twin' Joe Perry in the summer of 1970, Aerosmith was formed…and the rest, as they say, is rock history. They released their first album in 1973, and by 1976 Aerosmith had gone from being nobodies to massive to off the radar, making history as a multi-platinum, chart-topping band.
But with great success comes great excess. Nicknamed the Toxic Twins for their insatiable appetite for drugs, booze and women, Tyler and Perry got caught up in the glamour of self-destruction – smashing each other up with guitars, having seizures and passing out on stage. By 1980 it seemed that the band and its members were set to implode, but after successful stints in drug rehab, Aerosmith were back on track and better than ever.
Although he may have given up his wicked, wicked ways, Tyler still enjoys talking about the bad old days. He has so many outrageous stories to tell, and he's gonna tell them all. All the uncensored, head-spinning tales of debauchery, sex, booze, transcendence and chemical dependence you will ever want to hear. As raucous, intoxicating and edgy as his music, this is the most outrageous rock n' roll autobiography of all time.
Critic reviews
‘Steven Tyler is one of the greats of American music’ Sir Paul McCartney
‘The book is sticky with sex…and drugs…plus he squeezes maximum mileage from obsessive punning and compulsive wordplay.’ Classic Rock
A bit disappointing

Not keen on the Narrator.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
First: the narrator seemed a bit excitable, and quite exhausting to listen to, however I soon got used to it.
Second: this book is from 2011, I listened in 2026 and my reaction was ‘you can’t say stuff like that anymore’ I wasn’t offended at all but I realised how restrained and censored the English-speaking world has become now. Refreshing to hear but somehow a bit naughty too.
Third: I have listened and read 100’s of autobiography’s and never have I been given such an in-depth insight into how it really is to be famous. The day in the life of was truly enlightening
Fourth: meeting Steven Adler in rehab was very poignant
Fifth: I wouldn’t want to be Steven Tyler; I admire him but I wound not want that life regardless of all the girls and money.
Sixth: I’ve listened to Aerosmith for years, after this book for the first time I heard it, what he was really singing about, enlightened.
Lastly: when Stephen narrates the final chapter you realise why he didn’t do the whole book. You can't live a life so debauched and still be coherent, funny, yes, but good idea to delegate the reading to someone else.
I will definitely listen to this again and that for me is the ultimate accolade. In the top 10 of best autobiographies I've ever come across.
Talk what way?
