Book description
Rocks - Joe Perry (Audiobook)
Review by a Fellow Music Lover
If you've ever wondered what it's like to ride the highs and lows of rock-and-roll, Joe Perry's Rocks gives you a front-row seat. Narrated in his own voice, the audiobook captures Perry's gravelly tone and unmistakable cadence, making every anecdote feel like a backstage chat with an old friend.
The story starts in small-town Massachusetts where a young Perry dreamt of becoming a marine biologist-until the clang of electric guitars turned that dream into a lifelong obsession. From there he drags you through decades of Aerosmith's legendary rise: the first meet-up with Steven Tyler, the birth of the band, the smash hits, and the darker moments of drug abuse, legal battles, and rehab. What sets this memoir apart is Perry's candidness-he doesn't shy away from his own faults or those of his bandmates, offering a raw look at the camaraderie that kept them together.
Perry also pulls back the curtain on the wider rock world: stories about Jimmy Page, Alice Cooper, Bette Midler and even John Belushi. His humor shines through in the recounting of their cameo in Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, where they reenact a bizarre murder plot involving Peter Frampton and the Bee Gees-an absurd moment that only Perry could narrate with such flair.
The pacing is tight, each chapter ending on a hook that leaves you eager for more. The sound quality is crisp, and the narrator's pauses let the drama breathe. Whether you're a die-hard Aerosmith fan or just love rock history, this audiobook delivers insight, entertainment, and an honest reflection on endurance and brotherhood. Rocks isn't just a memoir; it's a sonic journey that will resonate long after the last track fades out.
