About this listen

"I've been mythicized, Mick-icized, eulogized and fooligized, I've been Cole-Portered and farmer's-daughtered, I've been Led Zepped and 12-stepped. I'm a rhyming fool and so cool that me, Fritz the Cat, and Mohair Sam are the baddest cats that am. I have so many outrageous stories, too many, and I'm gonna tell 'em all. All the unexpurgated, brain-jangling tales of debauchery, sex, drugs, transcendence, chemical dependence you will ever want to hear."

The son of a classical pianist straight out of the Bronx of old Archie comics, Steven Tyler was born to be a rock star. Weaned on Cole Porter, Nat King Cole, Mick, and his beloved Janis Joplin, Tyler began tearing up the streets and the stage as a teenager before finally meeting his "mutant twin" and legendary partner, Joe Perry. In this addictively listenable memoir, told in the playful, poetic voice that is uniquely his own, Tyler unabashedly recounts the meteoric rise, fall, and rise of Aerosmith over the last three decades and riffs on the music that gives it all meaning.

Tyler tells what it's like to be a living legend and the frontman of one of the world's most revered and infamous bands - the debauchery, the money, the notoriety, the fights, the motels and hotels, the elevators, limos, buses and jets, the rehab. He reveals the spiritual side that "gets lost behind the stereotype of the Sex Guy, the Drug Guy, the Demon of Screamin', the Terror of the Tropicana." And he talks about his epic romantic life and his relationship with his four children.

As dazzling, bold, and out-on-the-edge as the man himself, Does the Noise in My Head Bother You? is an all-access backstage pass into this extraordinary showman's life.

True Steven Tyler style

If you could sum up Does the Noise in My Head Bother You? in three words, what would they be?

Reading this book is like listening to Steven's lyrics.

What does Jeremy Davidson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

It felt like Steven Tyler was telling the story himself. The audio made this book. I've talked to my friends who "read" the book and it just doesn't compare. Props to Jeremy Davidson. He couldn't have done it any better.

Now that's Rock and Roll!!!

I have been an Aerosmith fan since the late 70's and know all their music. This book marks Rock n Roll history. These guys live the Rock n Roll fantasy to the limit and almost to the point of disaster. One of the best book yet. Steven opens up and spills it all out, holding nothing back. There guys are rock legends. I highly recommend this one.

A little too out there for me

In my opinion, this was one of the less interesting Rock 'n Roll memories. Steven Tyler's writing style is a little too fast paced and a bit "out there." Also, not enough detail. I'd recommend Scar Tissue by Anthony Kiedis or It's So Easy by Duff McKagen.

Yep! Steven Tyler is exactly as you thought he would be!

The narrator did perfect justice to this book. Steven Tyler IS all over the place and out of his mind in much of this book and the narrator read it exactly as Steven’s head wrote it. Good to know some “inside” stuff about my favorite singer.

The Real Steven Tyler

Having watched the antics of Aerosmith over the year, this book felt more inside Steven's head. There's more to him than just Aerosmith and I found him to be sensitive, kind and yet still a bit crazy. I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Steven's comments at the end made it even better.

Bad read, good listen

I tried to read this book from the library and I was thrilled that I didnt actually spend any money on it, because it was awful. So much jumping around, "sounds," etc. I got the audiobook because I love Steven Tyler and I thought that listening would be much better and it was! Pretty entertaining, but very circular. It the "same old story, same old song and dance" over and over again. I wasnt impressed. The only good thing to say is that the narrator, did a FANTASTIC job at reading it, with lots of expression.
