Steven Tyler

Tyler is best known as the lead singer of the Boston-based rock band Aerosmith, in which he also plays the keyboards, harmonica, and percussion. He has been called the "Demon of Screamin'" due to his powerful high screams and his wide vocal range. He is also known for his on-stage acrobatics. During live performances, Tyler is known for dressing in colorful, sometimes androgynous outfits and makeup with his trademark scarves hanging from his microphone stand.

Does the Noise in My Head Bother You? Is Steven Tyler's autobiography, chronicling the Aerosmith frontman's life from a Yonkers-and-Bronx childhood through decades of rock excess and an unlikely second act as an American Idol judge. It earns attention as an unfiltered, high-velocity account of one of rock's most singular careers — though coherence is decidedly not the point.
