However, the rapid rise, the exhausting days of touring and recording took their toll on the group, some members started doing hard drugs that resulted in conflicting relations and the departure of some members. These complications led to a decline in production of the band, between 1980 and 1984 they released one album Rock in a Hard Place, achieving a gold record, without achieving platinum as in previous albums.

Only in 1987 they were able to recover the public´s affection with the album Permanent Vacation, achieving the success rates of the 70. The 80 and 90 conducted new productions that achieved notable successes, Aerosmith  is one of the bands that have achieved the highest sales record of all time, reaching sales of over 150 million albums worldwide. In the United States they have managed to sell over 67 million albums.

In their long career they have been 21 time in the Top 40 Billboard Hot 100, won four Grammy Awards and ten MTV Video Music Awards. Both for prizes, sales and media appearances they have been included in the Rock Hall of Fame , Rolling Stone Magazine also considered them among the top 100 artists of all time.
