When Aerosmith started there was a bit of a music divide between the two countries. It's hard to understand since in the 60s there was the British Invasion and every band popular in the UK was popular in the US, and maybe it seems the two are always on the same page. However in the mid to late 70s they went their separate ways. It wasn't till the 80s with MTV, that UK bands started to be popular again in the US. The British had already had NWOBHM, so I don't know what kind of impact Aerosmith would make there. Even Def Leppard struggled in the beginning and were actually more popular in the US first, in part due to MTV.
