Qui pourrait rivaliser avec le succès des Rolling Stones, jamais démenti depuis un demi-siècle ? Leurs plus célèbres riffs et leurs chansons entêtantes sont gravés dans notre mémoire collective - sans oublier la moue expressive de Mick Jagger ou le rictus de Keith Richards. Avec leur rock 'n' roll bluesy et leur don pour mettre le feu à la scène, les Stones ont redéfini la musique des années 1960 et ouvert la voie au rock d'aujourd'hui. Créé en collaboration avec le groupe, ce livre retrace leur fabuleux parcours et leur incarnation par excellence de la "cool attitude" au fil de près de 500 pages de photographies et d'illustrations, pour la plupart inédites, tirées d'archives du monde entier. Le fait que les Rolling Stones aient comme jamais auparavant ouvert leurs propres archives de New York et de Londres ajoute à cette histoire du groupe une dimension intimiste tout aussi exceptionnelle. Cet ouvrage constitue en quelque sorte l'album photo personnel de Mick, Keith, Ronnie et Charlie.

The Rolling Stones

The long-awaited, never-before-told, no-holds-barred memoir from the legendary Aerosmith frontman. Finally, all the lurid tales of debauchery, sex, drugs and rock n'' roll are told straight from the horse''s lips as The Demon of Screamin'' describes his unimaginable highs and unbelievable lows as lead singer of the biggest rock band in the world.Prolific frontman, rock icon and sex symbol, Steven Tyler is a living legend. With his raw, sharp-edged vocals, musical versatility and unprecedented song writing skills, Tyler has, as lead singer of Aerosmith, sold millions of records and played sell-out concerts to as many as 450,000 people. Now, at last, he tells his own story, taking us on a wild rollercoaster ride through the bust-ups, binges, orgies and good old American excess in the jaw-droppingly honest, in-your-face way that only Tyler can.Following a fateful meeting with his ''mutant twin'' Joe Perry in the summer of 1970, Aerosmith was formed...and the rest, as they say, is rock history. They released their first album in 1973, and by 1976 Aerosmith had gone from being nobodies to massive to off the radar, making history as a multi-platinum, chart-topping band.But with great success comes great excess. Nicknamed the Toxic Twins for their insatiable appetite for drugs, booze and women, Tyler and Perry got caught up in the glamour of self-destruction - smashing each other up with guitars, having seizures and passing out on stage. By 1980 it seemed that the band and its members were set to implode, but after successful stints in drug rehab, Aerosmith were back on track and better than ever.But although he may have given up his wicked, wicked ways, Tyler still enjoys talking about the bad old days. He has so many outrageous stories to tell, and he''s gonna tell them all. All the uncensored, head-spinning tales of debauchery, sex, booze, transcendence and chemical dependence you will ever want to hear. As raucous, intoxicating and edgy as his music, this is the most outrageous rock n'' roll autobiography of all time.
