Under the guidance of Frank Connelly, their first manager, they spent some time in Boston's club circuit. The group then began working with Steve Leber (New York) and David Krebs (New York). In 1972 they signed a recording contract and released their debut album. The album was later followed by Get Your Wings, Toys in the Attic, Rocks and Draw the Line, which helped propel Aerosmith to international fame and recognition. These albums are the origin of legendary hits , including "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 hectic lifestyle of performing, recording, being together, and taking drugs began to take its toll on the group. Because of their notorious use of drugs and stimulants, Tyler and Perry were sometimes called the Toxic Twins. Their relationship is documented in many of Aerosmith's video releases and in the Aerosmith Behind the Music. Tyler seemed to be more dedicated to Aerosmith appeared to dislike Perry's passiveness and admire Perry's preference for women in his life. Aerosmith was at a low point around 1980 due to tensions between Perry and Tyler.
