Under the direction of Frank Connelly, their first manager, they took a few time on Boston's club circuit. The band then started working with Steve Leber (New York) and David Krebs (New York). In 1972, they signed a record contract and released their debut album. It was followed in 1973 by Get Your Wings. Toys in the Attic. Rocks. And Draw the Line. These albums contributed to Aerosmith to gain fame internationally. These albums brought legendary hits like "Dream on", Walk This Way, "Sweet Emotion" and "Walk This Way". Aerosmith's first five albums were all multi-platinum. Toys in the Attic and Rocks have been regarded as some of the best hard rock albums ever. But, as the decade wore on the frantic pace of touring, recording, sharing a home, and consuming drugs started to take its toll on the band. Tyler and Perry were frequently referred to as the Toxic Twins, for their famous consumption of stimulants and heroin. Their relationship is well documented in numerous Aerosmith's video releases and in the Aerosmith Behind the Music. Tyler seemed more committed to Aerosmith and disliked Perry for his passive attitude. He also envied Perry's importance to females throughout his life. The conflict between Tyler, Perry, and their once-friendly girlfriends was an important factor in the decline of Aerosmith around 1980.
