Aerosmith's Steven Tyler: Taking Drugs Was Part Of My Education

Steven Tyler has opened up about his drug past in his new memoir.

The Aerosmith singer, who released his memoir 'Does the Noise in My Head Bother You?' on May 3, revealed that taking drugs was just part of his education whilst growing up.

''I'd been getting high since I was sixteen. I was getting high all the time back then. It was part of my education. Ray and I would set our alarm for four o'clock, drop acid, go back to sleep, and then wake up at five thirty or six just slammin','' Tyler writes.

AddIng: ''I used to smoke pot and listen to the Beatles, trying to decipher their lyrics. With grass you could read between the lines . . . with acid there was nothing but between the lines — both essential talents of the times. "Norwegian Wood," now what could that possibly mean?''

''Today, it would be as obvious as the balls on a tall dog. Smoking pot was so much better than drinking — which I also did, of course. God, a couple of drinks and you go to that same old place, but smokin' the good stuff and you're up in your ****ing way-out-o-sphere.''

Meanwhile, Johnny Depp has revealed that he has been working on songs with Aerosmith's Steven Tyler.
