I think that I will read that. I am from Yonkers too, but I didn’t know Joey. I knew Steve Tollarico and Ray Tabano. I remember the Dantes and The Chain Reaction. I spoke to Hamilton briefly once on the stage at the Parkway Casino and I remember them at the Synagog on Tuchahoe Rd. and at the Cross County Center stage opening for a name group. Steven and I knew each other a little and he threw me out of his house because I picked up Perry’s guitar just to look at it. Steve was pissed…!

I got more from that 5 minutes than I did from the 30 or so motivational speakers I’ve heard from the years. Way to go Joey! Awesome!!!

I grew up in Marshfield, the town where Steven and Joey lived. Joey was nice enough to come to the high school to speak about drugs and alcohol and the troubles they caused. That was 18 years (half the band’s lifetime) ago. Those guys had cool cars — Joey drove a Porsche 911, a GMC Typhoon,an Acura NSX,and his legendary Ferrari 348,which caught fire at a gas station in Scituate with Joey inside! Steven drove a maroon Mercedes wagon or a Lotus 7. Joe had a Wagoneer and Porsche. Brad – BMW

Ezrin…a person doesnt deserve the right to earn money off of their hard work?

Really wanna help people and change their lives for the better with your book? Give it away for free. Agreed?

You go, Joey! I’m a huge fan, always have been, always will be. Aerosmith was the first concert I ever went to (at the “Fabulous Forum” in L.A. ‘77) and I’ve followed you guys through good times & bad over the years. I’m also in recovery and was so thrilled when you guys got sober too. I’m actually reading “Walk This Way” and enjoying it immensely. Looking forward to reading your book too. Keep on rockin’ and living life to the fullest. I appreciate you sharing your life with all of us.

This book was wonderful. Thank you for sharing your story, warts and all. It takes a lot of guts and a lot of heart to commit to pen all that you have lived, suffered and learned. At the end of the day – your story makes many feel that they too – are not alone. In addition to being a world class musician – you are a quality person. Thanks for the music and thanks for this book!

Joey you seem like a very humble guy for being a rock star. Good for you. The fact that Aerosmith is still together and making great music after all these years is really amazing. Very few bands ever do that.
wjv4me March 14, 2010
Cuz being the lead singer is more important, so you go with your major
talent is my guess. Prob. S. Tyler
never thought he’d be a lead singer way
back when – glad he changed over tho!
wjv4me March 14, 2010
I hope life gets better for you Sydbugger,
if you even come to the USA, come visit San Diego, let me know! Take good care,
many of us care about you.
God Bless, W

Thanks for your honesty. Eddie Van Halen could learn from you!

Can’t wait to get this book, looks great.

Tyler was passionate of being the lead singer in the band instead of drums, and we all know what happened.

That is a great synapses of the book! I look forward to reading it! Anxiety/Depression is just too common place with people, and many don’t know they have it or if they do, they don’t admit it. Too often self-medicating goes on instead. ((HUGS)) and Thank you!! for sharing your story!!

I’m a Spanish big fan of Aerosmith and I’ve bought your book. Steven and Joe are the leaders of the pack, they are there at the front of the stage, but we (the Aerosmith fans) love you Mr Kramer, and also Hamilton and Whitford, you seem to be really nice guys and are the members who usually keep the band in a balanced position, the strong pillars of the building. Love you guys, Aerosmith is the soundtrack of my life
