By 1972, Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Brad Whitford, Tom Hamilton, and Joey Kramer had forged a lineup built for legend--and in 1973, their debut album on Columbia Records lit the fuse with the timeless ballad Dream On.

What followed was a blistering run: Get Your Wings sharpened their sound, Toys in the Attic and Rocks launched them into the stratosphere, and songs like Sweet Emotion, Walk This Way, and Back in the Saddle became the soundtrack of a generation, personified by the apocryphal blue-jean army of middle America.

But success came at a price. The late '70s brought tension, excess, and unraveling bonds. By the time Night in the Ruts (1979) and Rock in a Hard Place (1982) arrived, the cracks had widened, and Aerosmith's future hung in the balance.

This is the electrifying story of the creation of these legendary recordings and the band that clawed its way from high schools and Boston clubs to arenas and stadiums, in the end running on fumes and mental and physical collapse--and even death--threatening at every whirlwind tour stop.
