Description
This ultimate illustrated history of Aerosmith—one of the greatest rock ’n’ roll bands of all time and the best-selling American hard rock band of all time—is now revised and updated to celebrate the group’s 50th anniversary as well as their multi-year farewell concert tour.
This massive, visually exhilarating celebration in hardcover provides a front-row seat to the Boston Bad Boys’ entire career: scrapping their way cross-country in the 1970s, scrapping their way back to the top of the heap in the late 1980s, and scrapping with each other the entire way. Updated with 16 additional pages of text and photographs, this complete history of one of the world's most successful and popular bands features:
- A lively and honest band history by music journalist Richard Bienstock
- 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
- Nearly 400 photos of the band, on and off the stage, and images of rare memorabilia, including gig posters, backstage passes, ticket stubs, 7-inch picture sleeves, and more
- Advice from Steven Tyler and Joe Perry to young bands
- A survey and discussion of the guitars employed by Joe Perry and Brad Whitford over their 50 years in—and out—of Aerosmith
- An Aerosmith discography encompassing all official audio and video releases
Aerosmith: The Ultimate Illustrated 50 Year History of the Boston Bad Boys is an awesome, must-have add to the library of every Aerosmith fan.

OMGGGGGGG,!!!} This is the ultimate book on Aerosmith. Any fan must get this book. Well put together with awesome pictures. I adored this book. Thanks to Netgalley, the author and the publisher for the arc of this book in return for my review. Receiving the book in this manner had no bearing on this review.

I have been an Aerosmith fan since the 1970s and was delighted with this book. I had never read a book about them, just articles in magazine and online, so this was really good for me. The photographs were really nice and the writing was great. If you are a fan, new or old, this is a book for you! It was easy to read and a lot of fun. For me, it brought back a lot of good memories of the times and their music.

Aerosmith, 50th Anniversary Updated Edition is the Ultimate Illustrated History of the "Bad Boys from Boston". Aerosmith is one of the only bands left on my concert bucket list (though I did get to see Steven Tyler with Paul McCartney on a trip to Vegas! It was just as amazing as you'd think!) so when I saw this book come up for review I knew I had to check it out. Plus, illustrated is always fun as I am a wannabe concert photographer. (Or just photographer in general, I guess. Since I was about 5 years old!) In addition to telling the story of the band, there are also memorabilia and artifacts splashed throughout the pages - handwritten biographies from the 70s, album covers, ticket stubs, comic book pages, etc. Coming in at nearly 300 pages it is pretty comprehensive, lots of great information in there and tons of wonderful photos! If you're a fan or just interested in learning more, do not hesitate to check out this book. And if 2020 taught me anything - it will be to make sure I can do everything in my power to see these guys once it is safe to do so!
I received a free e-copy of this book in order to write this review. I was not otherwise compensated.

A great book on Aerosmith full of information and colour photography of this American band. It provides a biography on each band member.
The book is then divided into each album they have produced with a different contributor writing each one or about a tour they undertook. Along with pictures of the band members, there are also tickets, badges and all sorts of memorabilia included within these pages.
I received this book from Netgalley in return for a honest review.
