Memoir of a rocker

FOX25, myfoxboston - Aerosmith is unquestionably the biggest American rock band off all time.

The bad boys of Boston have been together for more almost 40 years. They have sold over 150 million albums worldwide and were inducted into the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame in 2001.

However, never before have the details been written down in a book penned by one of the band members -- that is, until now.

In "Hit Hard: A Story of Hitting Rock Bottom at the Top," drummer Joey Kramer reveals the true nitty gritty side of rock-and-roll fame, as well as exposing in moving detail his own personal battle with drug abuse and depression.
