Steven Tyler: Excerpts From New Autobiography


An excerpt of Aerosmith frontman and "American Idol" judge Steven Tyler's new autobiography, "Does The Noise In My Head Bother You?", can be found at Today.MSNBC.MSN.com.


Semiprologue
If you’re a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
If you’re a singer, everything looks like a song.


“Life is short. Break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that makes you smile.” We’re not quantified; there’s no chart of desire. When the roaring flames of your heart have burned down to embers, may you find that you have married your best friend. Hunch, conjecture, instinct…a blind allegiance to anything can get you killed, and always remember…sing as though no one can hear you; live as though heaven is here on Earth. Here I want to say something deep and meaningless, like “To thine own self be true,” but in truth, the first thing we have to do is KILL ALL THE LAWYERS.
"Does The Noise In My Head Bother You?" is scheduled for release on May 3 as a 400-page hardcover.

  1. As someone who was not a big Aerosmith fan, I was curious about the life of a hard living rock star. This book did not disappoint. The writing style was like sitting in your living room have a conversation with one of the greatest rock stars of our times. Would recommend to anyone who loves music.
