One of them, occurred at the festival "Rock-Panorama-86", preventing the team and become winners of the festival was, in fact, the start of the take-off mass popularity of "Aria". In their speeches at the point were rarely free spots, and the concerts were accompanied by riots and defeated hall, which resulted in some regions, authorities forbade the group to hold concerts. It then formed a real army "Aryans", as fans are known as the first hard-and-heavy team, won the popular fame. Over the years, one generation of fans every few other successive generation - remained unchanged, only the total. By the way, and circulations range fan attributes "aria" in our country is not equal to this day.

When recording the second album in the group began musical differences soon led to significant changes in the composition, as a result of which the original "aria" in the left and only Holstinin Kipelov. After six months, the new composition writes most probably in the history of popular groups asphalt drive "Hero", which included, among others, and the legendary "Street roses."
