There’s an interview with Dee Snider on the subject of the 25th anniversary of Stay Hungry at Blabbermouth.
It’s a pretty good read, actually, even though he doesn’t really say much of anything that is really new or couldn’t have been guessed at. However, what makes it fun is how clearly Dee Snider’s personality comes across in the interview, and the fact that he’s clearly still enthusiastic about the music, even twenty-five years after the fact.
I personally am never surprised to see We’re Not Gonna Take It in a list of the best of whatever. The great part about that song is in its very lack of specifics. The song is pure rage against the establishment, with a great hook. It can be applied to anything, so it’s basically tailor-made for the ‘angry playlist’ in the MP3 player.
There’s even video from when We’re Not Gonna Take It was certified gold on digital downloads at the bottom of the interview.
