Aerosmith is an
American rock band, sometimes referred to as "
The Bad Boys from Boston"[5] and "
America's
Greatest Rock and Roll Band."[
6][7][8][9] Their style, which is rooted in blues-based hard rock,[10][11] has come to also incorporate elements of pop,[12] heavy metal,[10] and rhythm and blues,[13] and has inspired many subsequent rock artists.[14]
The band was formed in
Boston, Massachusetts in
1970. Guitarist
Joe Perry and bassist
Tom Hamilton, originally in a band together called the Jam
Band, met up with vocalist/harmonica player
Steven Tyler, drummer
Joey Kramer, and guitarist
Ray Tabano, and formed Aerosmith. In
1971, Tabano was replaced by
Brad Whitford, and the band began developing a following in
Boston.
They were signed to
Columbia Records in
1972, and released a string of multi-platinum albums, beginning with their
1973 eponymous debut
album, followed by their
1974 album
Get Your Wings. In
1975, the band broke into the mainstream with the album
Toys in the Attic, and their
1976 follow-up
Rocks cemented their status as hard rock superstars.[15] Two additional albums followed in
1977 and
1979. Throughout the
1970s, the band toured extensively and charted a string of
Hot 100 singles. By the end of the decade, they were among the most popular hard rock bands in the world and developed a loyal following of fans, often referred to as the "
Blue Army".[16] However, drug addiction and internal conflict took their toll on the band, which resulted in the departures of
Perry and
Whitford in 1979 and
1981, respectively; they were replaced by
Jimmy Crespo and
Rick Dufay.[11] The band did not fare well between
1980 and
1984, releasing a lone album,
Rock in a Hard Place, which went gold but failed to match their previous successes.
Perry and Whitford returned in 1984 and the band signed a new deal with
Geffen Records. After a comeback tour, the band recorded
Done with Mirrors (
1985), which won some critical praise but failed to come close to commercial expectations. It was not until the band's collaboration with rap group Run–
D.M.C. in
1986, and the
1987 release
Permanent Vacation, that they regained the level of popularity they had experienced in the 1970s.[17] Throughout the late
1980s and
1990s, the band scored several hits and won numerous awards for music from the multi-platinum albums
Pump (
1989),
Get a Grip (
1993), and
Nine Lives (
1997), and embarked on their most extensive concert tours to date. The band also became a pop culture phenomenon with popular music videos and notable appearances in television, film, and video games. Their comeback has been described as one of the most remarkable and spectacular in rock 'n' roll history.[10][11] Additional albums followed in
2001 and 2004. The band toured throughout the
2000s, touring every year except 2008. After 44 years of performing, the band continues to tour and record music. Their latest album,
Music from Another Dimension!, was released in
2012.
Aerosmith is the best-selling American rock band of all time, having sold more than
150 million albums worldwide,[18] including 70.2 million albums in the
United States alone.[19] With 25 gold albums, 18 platinum albums, and 12 multi-platinum albums, they hold the record for the most gold albums by an
American group, the most total certifications by an American group, and are tied for the most multi-platinum albums by an American group. The band has scored 21
Top 40 hits on the
Billboard Hot 100, nine number-one
Mainstream Rock hits, four
Grammy Awards, six
American Music Awards, and ten
MTV Video Music Awards. They were inducted into the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001, and were included among both
Rolling Stone's and
VH1's lists of the
100 Greatest Artists of All
Time.[20] As the band's principal songwriters, Steven Tyler and Joe Perry received the
ASCAP Founders Award and were inducted into the
Songwriters Hall of Fame in
2013.
