Under the direction of Frank Connelly, their first manager, they spent some time on Boston's clubs circuit. The band then started working with Steve Leber (New York) and David Krebs (New York). The band signed a record deal in 1972 and dropped their eponymous debut album in 1973. The album was immediately followed by Get Your Wings and Toys in the Attic and Rocks. It brought Aerosmith international recognition and fame. The albums featured legendary hits like "Dream On", "Walk This Way" as well as "Sweet Emotion". Aerosmith's early five albums were all multi-platinum. Toys in the Attic and Rocks have been considered as some of the best albums of hard rock ever. But as the decade wore on the fast-paced lifestyle of recording, touring, sharing a home, and consuming drugs took its toll on the group. Tyler and Perry were often referred to as Toxic Twins, for their famous consumption of stimulants and heroin. Aerosmith Behind the Music as well as numerous video recordings of Aerosmith reveal their relationship. Tyler was reportedly more committed to the group, and seemed to dislike Perry's aloof attitude. Perry, however, loved Tyler's love for the females she dated. Aerosmith's gradual decline was probably due to the conflict between Tyler and Perry and their once-friendly friends.
