Aerosmith: The Ultimate Illustrated History of the Boston Bad Boys

by Richard Bienstock

One of Guitar World magazine's Top 15 rock books of 2011. Aerosmith is one of the greatest rock 'n' roll bands of all-time. After their 1970s success was derailed by band strife and Dionysian excess, Boston's Bad Boys received a career jump-start in 1986 via their collaboration with hip-hop legends Run-DMC and producer Rick Rubin. This first complete illustrated history of one of the world's most successful and popular bands features a band history by music journalist Richard Bienstock and sidebar album reviews from a host of well-known music journalists, including Greg Kot, Jaan Uhelszki, Chuck Eddy, Bill Holdship, Martin Popoff, Daniel Bukszpan, and more. Illustrated throughout with hundreds of stunning performance and backstage photographs, as well as rare memorabilia, including gig posters, backstage passes, 7-inch picture sleeves, ticket stubs, and more.

What an awesome book!! I could hardly imagine anything better. Lots of pictures, memorabilia and illustrations, as well as the complete history of Aerosmith until 2011 with album reviews and a helpful discography. This was a joy to read, this also described all the three tours during which I saw Aerosmith live, this reminds me of my 14-year old self, discovering Aerosmith through the pink-video and through them going the rock and metal way. What a beautiful book, honest and gripping. A joy to read and a great Christmas present from my sister 😊
