After fifty years of fast and hard rock spiced with a touch of blues, Aerosmith is one of the greatest – and one of the least predictable – rock’n’roll bands of all time. This extensive illustrated publication takes readers through the entire career of the bad boys from Boston: in the 1970s, they carved their way from small clubs to large arenas and stadiums, and by the late 1980s, they had to rise back to the rock summit after hitting rock bottom, all while constantly dealing with various disputes among themselves. Music journalist Richard Bienstock compellingly describes the wild history of the band, which includes ups, downs, and comebacks, visually complemented by nearly 400 photographs and images of concert posters, backstage passes, tickets, seven-inch record covers, and T-shirts. The book also includes an extensive discography of the band and reviews of individual studio albums authored by prominent rock journalists Daniel Bukszpan, Neil Daniels, Chuck Eddy, Bill Holdship, Greg Kot, Martin Popoff, Bud Scoppa, Phil Sutcliffe, and Jaan Uhelszki.
