The band was on the Boston club circuit, and were led by Frank Connelly their first manager. The group then began to work with Steve Leber, David Krebs, New York managers. Their debut album, which was called "Eponymous" released in the year 1973. They signed a record deal in 1972. The album was then followed by Get Your Wings and Toys in the Attic and Rocks. This earned Aerosmith global fame and recognition. These albums were the source of legendary hits such as "Dream on", Walk This Way and "Sweet Emotion". Aerosmith's first five albums were multi-platinum. Toys in the Attic and Rocks were also multi-platinum. But, as the decade progressed the fast-paced lifestyle of touring, recording being together, and taking drugs took its toll on the band. Due to their famous use of stimulants and heroin, Tyler and Perry were identified as the Toxic Twins. Their relationship is well documented in many of Aerosmith's video recordings and in the Aerosmith Behind the Music. Tyler seemed to be more committed to the band and seemed to dislike Perry's passive attitude. Perry, however, envied Tyler's preference for the women in her life. The dynamic of tension between Tyler, Perry, and their former girlfriends was key to the gradual decline of Aerosmith in the 1980s.
