Joe Perryn omaelämäkerta on vetävä, humoristinen ja brutaalin suorasukainen kuvaus elämästä rock-areenoilla ja niiden ulkopuolella. Aerosmith on kiistatta yksi maailman kuuluisimmista rockyhtyeistä. Vuonna 1970 perustetun bändin taipaleelle on mahtunut maailmanlaajuista suosiota, loppuunmyytyjä stadionkonsertteja ja yli 150 mil-joonaa myytyä levyä, mutta myös suuria kriisejä ja syviä aallonpohjia. Rocks on syväsukellus elämään, joka kulkee maailman huipulta tynnyrin pohjalle – useaan kertaan. Se kertoo rehellisesti Joe Perryn ja Steven Tylerin vahvasta mutta ongelmallisesta suhteesta, viinasta, huumeista, katkaisuhoidoista ja riidoista. Mutta myös veljeydestä, täysistä areenoista ja ajattomien hittibiisien synnystä. Joe Perryn omin sanoin hänen muistelmateoksensa on tarina yksinäisyydestä, bändistä, paranemisesta, kultista, rakkaudesta, menestyksestä, epäonnistumisesta, tuhoamisesta ja uudelleensyntymästä.

Co-fondateur et guitariste d’Aerosmith, Joe Perry raconte ici sa vie et sa carrière dans le rock and roll, de son enfance dans les bois du Massachusetts aux stades du monde entier, en passant par les hauts et les bas d’un des plus grands groupes américains. Rocks est un livre qui contient plusieurs histoires en une. Comme il le dit lui-même, c’est « l’histoire d’un solitaire, l’histoire d’un groupe culte, l’histoire d’une guérison, une histoire d’amour, mais aussi une histoire de succès, d’échec, de renaissance, et de reconstruction. » « Un tour de montagnes russes à travers la carrière de l’un des plus grands guitaristes du rock and roll. Accrochez-vous ! » – Slash. « Rockin’Joe Perry balance tout ! » – Jimmy Page. « Joe Perry maîtrisait déjà son art avant la naissance de certains d’entre vous. Il a tout vu, tout fait. C’est le guitar hero d’un groupe qui a toujours fait les choses à sa façon. Joe n’a jamais aimé les paillettes de Hollywood. Il n’a jamais regardé derrière lui pour voir qui le talonnait. Gentleman du rock, Joe trône au sommet du rock and roll. Avouez-le : vous êtes jaloux. Quand je serai grand, je voudrais être Joe Perry. » – Gene Simmons.
