In 1977, Aerosmith released their fifth album, Draw the Line . Its recording was affected by the band’s excesses, but the record still had memorable moments. The title track charted just shy of the Top 40 and remains a live staple, and ” Kings and Queens ” also charted. The album went on to sell two million copies. The band toured extensively in support of the album, but drug abuse and the fast-paced life of touring and recording began affecting their performances. Tyler and Perry became known as ” the Toxic Twins ” due to their notorious abuse of drugs on and off the stage. Tyler later commented, “I’ve spent $64 million on drugs”; Perry scoffed later, “There’s no fucking way in the world you could spend that much money on drugs and still be alive. It makes a good headline – but, practically speaking, that was probably a very small portion of where we spent our money.”
