About this listen
I was 29 years old, living in my parents’ basement and working at my father’s stereo shop. That’s when the phone rang.... A week later I was suddenly the lead singer of a famous hard rock band, touring America and preparing to cut an album for a major label.
Aerosmith’s Joe Perry needed a new singer for his Joe Perry Project and I got drafted. For me it was like winning the lottery. Much better though, because lotteries only pay cash. For the next two years I would be experiencing things in life that money just can’t buy. Living on the road with the swaggering rock star, playing adventurous, unbridled hard rock at famed venues to big crowds. Singing and signing autographs, finding romance, and partying with my idols. Just like that, I was on top but...since quitting Aerosmith, Joe Perry was bottoming out. Health failing, marriage falling apart, and deeply in debt.
In order to stay one foot ahead of the tallyman, Joe jumped into a van and hit the road, taking me and a few other newbies along on a mad dash across the USA and beyond. Taking any gig he could get.
On the road with The Joe Perry Project in the big '80s. The untold story is unveiled in amazing detail. Captivating, riotously funny, frighteningly frank, exhilarating, and at times deeply moving.
The audiobook includes everything from the original “diary” plus bonus untold stories and a whole new final chapter.
With added commentary from radio personality and author Carter Alan.
And surprise visits from Joe Perry Project members Danny Hargrove and Charlie Farren.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 898
In Rocks, Joe Perry exposes his unrepentant, unbridled life as the lead guitarist of Aerosmith. He delves deep into his volatile, profound, and enduring relationship with singer Steve Tyler and reveals the real people behind the larger-than-life rock gods onstage. The nearly five-decade saga of Aerosmith is epic, at once a study in brotherhood and solitude that plays out on the killing fields of rock and roll.

With over 70 million records sold, Black Sabbath, dubbed by Rolling Stone “the Beatles of heavy metal,” helped create the genre itself, with their distinctive heavy riffs, tuned down guitars, and apocalyptic lyrics. Bassist and primary lyricist Geezer Butler played a gigantic part in the band’s renown, from suggesting the band name to using his fascination with horror, religion, and the occult to compose the lyrics and build the foundation of heavy metal as we know it. In Into the Void, Butler tells his side of the story.

Fortunately, Gorman tells the tale with great insight, candor, and humor. They don't make bands like the Black Crowes anymore: crazy, brilliant, self-destructive, inspiring, and, ultimately, not built to last. But, man, what a ride it was while it lasted.

Brandi Carlile was born into a musically gifted, impoverished family on the outskirts of Seattle and grew up in a constant state of change, moving from house to house, trailer to trailer, 14 times in as many years. Though imperfect in every way, her dysfunctional childhood was as beautiful as it was strange, and as nurturing as it was difficult. At the age of five, Brandi contracted bacterial meningitis, which almost took her life, leaving an indelible mark on her formative years and altering her journey into young adulthood.

Dylan, who began working on the book in 2010, offers his insight into the nature of popular music. He writes over sixty essays focusing on songs by other artists, spanning from Stephen Foster to Elvis Costello, and in between ranging from Hank Williams to Nina Simone. He analyzes what he calls the trap of easy rhymes, breaks down how the addition of a single syllable can diminish a song, and even explains how bluegrass relates to heavy metal. These essays are written in Dylan’s unique prose. And while ostensibly about music, they are really meditations on the human condition.

The sex and drugs are thrilling, but it’s the rock and roll she loves most.

Incredible Book!
You know, going into this book, I didn’t know what to expect. I was originally not a huge fan of Once a Rocker as an album because I was such a fan of Ralph and Charlie’s work. It took me a lot longer to get into as it was so different from the first 2 project records. Moreover, I still read this book with high expectations from what I had heard from other project fans, and I was not disappointed. This book puts you right in each scene with the Project. Earthquake does a great job setting up each scene and Cowboy does an amazing job narrating. His voice is nowhere near boring and it was so nice listening to the audiobook having already read the book once. Hearing Cowboy’s voice brought new life to the book and it has made the reading experience a lot better considering that I’m a pretty slow reader as it is. Because of this book, I found a whole new respect for Once a Rocker as an album and it is now easily my favorite of the 3 project records. I couldn’t put this book down and now I can’t stop listening to Once a Rocker. I highly recommend any Project fan, Aerosmith fan, Joe Perry fan, or rock and roll fan in general to read this book. It is absolutely worth your time.

New Reverence For The Cowboy Mach Bell Era
I was in deep for the Joe Perry Project. Ralph Morman wowed me, Charlie Farren I fell in love with, and then came Cowboy. Who was this guy, why was his hair way too curly and blonde, and why didn’t he sing like the others? I was *not* on board. Yet, I bought the record and went to the show. After a while I moved on, thinking, “not into it.” After decades of poo-pooing the Cowboy era, I hear about this book. Regardless of how I felt about that third album line up, I had to check it out. Cowboy revealed himself as a good, hard working dude, and like-able in every way. As I listened, I began to revisit the Once A Rocker album. For thinking I wasn’t into it, I sure as hell remembered every song, so I must have listened to it a hell of a lot for not being “into it.” In fact, the joy brought on by Cowboy’s incredible stories and the soundtrack to them, at times, moved me to tears. There have been a few audio versions of rock bios lately, but this one might be the best. Any music geek fan of the JPP needs to listen to this, and then buy the hard copy, ‘cause you’re gonna wanna give the Cowboy something back for his efforts. And oh. The Joe Perry impersonations are riotous.

Better than reading!
It's a rare thing for an audiobook to be better than reading the actual book but this one is! Mach's reading (and occasional singing) is engaging and animated. I lived with a popular rock band in Boston during the mid-70's and this book brought back so many memories of that time. An unvarnished look at life on the road, playing at dingy clubs like the Rat and the ups and downs of being a musician. A must listen for any rock and roll fan.

Wonderful read. Look, I know Mach from sharing a studio and playing a few shows together, but I had no idea how much of the story I missed out on. Bonified rocker, yes,but even better story teller! Loved every minute, thank for keeping the journal Mach!

Absolutely fantastic! Bravo Cowboy Mach Bell!
Incredible access to what it was like to join a rock band in the early 80's, with one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time. Cowboy Mach brings us from start to finish with lots more on either side and in between. But it doesn't stop there with very cool insight from special guests who were there during those times. You don't get this from most books. I couldn't wait to start up my listening each day I could commit the time. Brilliant, self deprecating, honest and unfiltered. Lots of information on the band and the New England/U.S./ Canada rock scene that I wasn't aware of. NEVER boring. Can't recommend enough.

A great rock n roll story!
You don't have to be an Aerosmith or even a Joe Perry fan to enjoy Cowboy Mach Bell's diary of his time in "The Project". It's a fantastic, story with plenty of characters and plot twists. We all know how this story ends, but it's still a compelling listen right up until the end. Even if you have already read the book this audiobook takes you even further into the world of the Joe Perry Project with interviews from former members, and a new epilogue all not found in the 1st edition book.

Really enjoyed this
I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed this book especially the perspective in which it’s written. Fun performance as well . As a result of this I have gone and discovered the JPP catalog in the process . Looking forward to another listen this week

Brilliant
The best. Wish it didn’t end.
I have nothing else to compare to. This is the only audio book I’ve heard.
