"This book and his music are all you need." --Johnny Depp (from the preface)
"This book is a deep dive into the life of one of rock's most brilliant guitarists, a rollercoaster ride of highs and lows. Brace yourself for this." -- Slash
"True rock and roller Joe Perry is ready to rock your hearts once again!" -- Jimmy Page
"Joe Perry is a guitar master who has been active since before many of you were born. He has been a skilled player in bands that have always followed his own path, and he has never looked back, no matter who is coming after him. Joe is a classic rocker at all times, and he reigns like a king at the top of the rock world. Admit it. I'm jealous. I want to be Joe Perry when I grow up." -- Gene Simmons
