"There are plenty of rock biographies filled with gossip and legends. Milliken accomplished something much deeper, capturing the spirit of Joe Perry. It's authentic, deeply researched, and written with genuine understanding and respect. It's the definitive Joe Perry biography." --Tim Collins, former Aerosmith manager "Joe Perry's a private guy - humble, reserved, reticent, and a monster talent! Milliken does all the 'getting to know Joe Perry' for you, and you'll come away with much love and respect for this extraordinary man and musician." --Jim Vallance, songwriter, four-time Juno Award winner "I've contributed interviews for several authors writing about various music personalities, and Milliken is among the most insightful and diligent biographers in the field." --Charlie Farren, Joe Perry Project vocalist, founder of Boston rockers Farrenheit, solo artist " Livin' on the Edge offers amazing insight on guitar icon Joe Perry. From his nascent days as an inspiring guitarist, to the formation of Aerosmith and forays into his side projects, Milliken presents this meticulously researched account of one of the world's beloved musicians.
" --Andy Aledort, guitar instructor, author, Guitar World editor "Fearless rock biographer Joe Milliken takes an enigma - the stone-silent, guitarist Joe Perry - and delivers a deeply researched portrait of a true rock icon." --"Cowboy" Mach Bell, Joe Perry Project vocalist, author of Once a Rocker Always a Rocker "Milliken approaches his work with a love and understanding of Boston rock history. He looks beyond the beloved albums to find out how they happened, and how it took these people to make the lightening strike. His books add an essential piece to the story of Boston rock." --Brett Milano, music journalist and author of The Sound of Our Town: A History of Boston Rock and Roll "I've known Joe for years. He's a fellow, Irish-Boston hockey guy and a lifelong fan of Joe Perry and Aerosmith. I also know he put his heart and soul into this book." --Robert "Kelly" Kelleher, Aerosmith's 70s tour manager "I can't think of anyone more prepared to write a book about Joe Perry, than Joe Milliken.
As 12-year-olds we cut our musical teeth listening to endless hours of music in his room, and as we got older the walls of that room became strewn with posters of his favorite band. Over the years we've talked about Joe and Aerosmith more times than I can count, but I know this book will reveal much I don't know about this rock legend." --Craig Mellish, ACE film editor, Flourentime Films.
