The popularity came together with big troubles. At that time, Aerosmith were doing concerts as headliners already, supporting nobody any longer. Rocks ran platinum quickly, while the songs Last Child, and Back in the Saddle became radio hits. In 1976, they released Rocks, the album still regarded as the heaviest one in the discography of Aerosmith. This album proved that Aerosmith had created their own style instead of copying celebrated groups. In a year, they recorded Toys in the Attic. It was the first CD in the streak of multi platinum albums. In 1974, Aerosmith prepared their second album, Get Your Wings. The debut album by Aerosmith with the same name demonstrated the direction they had chosen to move further – blues-based hard rock with elements of glam. In 1971, the present lineup was formed: Steven Tyler, Tom Hamilton, Joe Perry, Joey Kramer and Brad Whitford. Vocalist Steven Tyler, who started his music career as a drummer, has always been the leader of the band. Aerosmith is an American rock band originated in 1970 in Boston.
