On May 3rd, AEROSMITH singer Steven Tyler will release his long-awaited autobiography Does The Noise In My Head Bother You? via Ecco, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers.

The Associated Press has released an earlier review of the book. Check out an excerpt below:

Steven Tyler's memoir has a million of 'em.

Like that night in 1978 when he blacked out on stage while singing 'Reefer-Headed Woman'. Or when he and Aerosmith visited the White House on the day President Bill Clinton was impeached. Or that weird weekend with KEITH RICHARDS at Bing Crosby's old house on Long Island. Everyone, Tyler writes, "was gacked to the nines on coke."

The Associated Press purchased a copy on Thursday of Does the Noise in My Head Bother You?, scheduled for release next week. Explicit and filled with expletives, it reads like an even wilder and louder version of Richards' best-selling Life. Tyler, 63, settles back and tells story after story about life in the "most decadent, lecherous, sexiest, nastiest band in the land."

Or as Tyler states it: "To snort or not to snort. That wasn't even a question."

The road was so crazy that Tyler can't remember how many times he was arrested. He recalls visiting PAUL and LINDA MCCARTNEY backstage with Bebe Buell, the mother of Tyler's daughter, Liv. Buell and Linda McCartney do not hit it off. Buell calls her "Sluggo." McCartney answers "Sluggett." They wrestle to the floor. But the men are cool. "I like your music, man," Paul says.

A native of Yonkers, N.Y., Tyler was born Steve Victor Tallarico in 1948. He remembers hearing ELVIS PRESLEY as a little kid, and feeling like he was "bitten by a radioactive spider." By age 15, he knew he wanted to be a rock star and he knew he liked to get high, mastering the art of rigging his bedroom door so he wouldn't get caught smoking pot. At age 16, lightning hits - someone tells him he looks just like that rubber-lipped singer from THE ROLLING STONES, Mick Jagger. By the late 1960s, he has met the other members of Aerosmith and hung out with them at Woodstock. They get their first record deal in 1972. Their self-titled debut album comes out the following year.
