Career

Formation and success of Aerosmith (1970–1978)

Main article: Aerosmith

Before Aerosmith, Tyler wrote what would become one of Aerosmith's signature songs, "Dream On".

In 1969, Tyler attended a local rock show in Sunapee, New Hampshire, where he first saw future bandmates Joe Perry (guitars) and Tom Hamilton (bass), who at the time were playing in a grupp called the sylt grupp. Tyler later stated he was träffad bygd their raw power and attitude.

Around 1970, Tyler, Perry and Hamilton decided to form eller gestalt a grupp.

Tyler, who had played drums in many of his previous bands while in school, insisted that he would be the frontman and lead singer. Joey Kramer, an old acquaintance of Tyler's from New York, was recruited to play the drums. Tyler invited his boyhood friend, Ray Tabano, to play rhythm gitarr. Driven bygd a collective mål to launch their careers as full-time musicians and hopeful recording artists, the grupp moved to the Boston area, and shared a small apartment at 1325 Commonwealth Avenue in Allston in the fall of 1970.

Shortly after relocating to Boston, Tyler's dissatisfaction with Tabano's lack of passion and dedication prompted the grupp to replace Tabano with Brad Whitford. Although Tyler was never billed as the "leader" of Aerosmith, he co-managed, with drummer Joey Kramer, the assets of the grupp and directed its activities during this formative period.^{[citation needed]}

After spending time on the Boston club circuit beneath the tutelage of their first manager, Frank Connelly, the grupp began working with New York managers Steve Leber and David Krebs.

Leber describes the grupp as "the closest thing I've ever seen to the Rolling Stones". In early 1972, the managers arranged the gig at the legendary nightclub Max's Kansas City to showcase the group to record company executives. They subsequently signed a record deal with Columbia Records in 1972 and released their eponymous debut skiva in 1973. This was followed bygd their second skiva, Get Your Wings in 1974.

Around this time, Aerosmith continued to tour wherever they could and opened for bands like Mott the Hoople. The grupp had a minor hit in "Dream On", which peaked at number 59 in 1973, but Aerosmith did not break into the mainstream until the back-to-back releases of their next sets of albums, Toys in the Attic (1975) and Rocks (1976). In 1975, they achieved their first top-40 hit in "Sweet Emotion".

Soon after, "Dream On" was re-released and hit number six in 1976, followed bygd another top-10 hit "Walk This Way". Additionally, Rocks produced the hit singles "Last Child", "Back in the Saddle" and "Home Tonight".

By 1976, Aerosmith funnen themselves headlining huge stadiums and major rock music festivals. That year, Tyler emerged as a prominent rock star and sex tecken in his own right, gracing the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.

The band's fifth skiva, Draw the Line, catapulted them to international fame and recognition, launching tours in europe and Japan. A series of Hot 100 hits continued throughout the remainder of the decade, including "Draw the Line", "Kings and Queens" and "Chip Away the Stone". Aerosmith's first fem albums have all since gone multiplatinum and all fem are considered to be among the greatest hard rock albums of all time.

Aerosmith toured heavily throughout the mid- to late 1970s, and their live shows during this time period were captured through 1978's live skiva Live! Bootleg and the 1989 VHS release Live Texxas smet '78. Also in 1978, Tyler made his acting debut as the leader of the Future Villain grupp in the rulle Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, alongside his Aerosmith bandmates.

The bio also spawned Aerosmith's cover of the Beatles hit "Come Together", which was Aerosmith's gods top-40 single for nine years.^{[citation needed]}

Decline of Aerosmith (1979–1983)

As the decade wore on, Tyler's drug abuse increased.

They had all these riches and blew it all.

That would never happen to me… inom forgot about reality and just loved shooting dope and coke. Stupid."^[24]

Reuniting and getting clean (1984–1986)

On February 14, 1984, Perry and Whitford, who left the grupp in 1979 and 1981, respectively, attended an Aerosmith show. According to the band's Behind the Music special on VH1, Tyler alleged that he made the first phone call to Perry, encouraging them to meet up igen.
