Of course not! Criticize away!
Disagreement is only allowed to go one step, though: If someone gives a less-than-adulating opinion, that person is immediately endowed with full immunity from subsequent chastisement of any kind, and is entitled–nay, required–to get all snippy if anyone subsequently questions them in any way.
“Captain Bringdown.” Heh.
I hadn’t realized how similar this tune is to “We’re Not Gonna Take It” until this.
I reacted in good humor, not snippiness.
Bitchin’! This is going into my Christmas rotation. I haven’t heard such a great new Christmas carol since “Christmas in Sarajavo”.
Jeez, Dee Snyder can really sing. I never noticed before.
That was one hell of a power carol!
Y’all, it’s Snider. No Y.
Ending was cool (where she finds the guitar pick and throws herself on the big guy).
Thans for the clip.
Q
Oh, dear. This may need to be added to the Christmas dinner playlist for the parents…
I saw Dee Snider at the airport a few weeks back. Almost didn’t recognize him out of character (in fact, didn’t recognize him until he was pointed out to me).
I didn’t know about this album until a couple of weeks ago, I went out and got it right away. It’s ok, though the best song might be the 12 days of Metal. But I think only a true metal head would think it’s funny, my wife thinks it’s dumb. You planning on going to the show in Baltimore? I hadn’t seen the video yet.
I loved the look on the woman’s face right after she found the guitar pick. She’s damn hot, too. Any idea who she is?
Anyway, that was freakin’ awesome. I don’t think I’ve laughed so hard in ages! This is what rock & roll is all about: having fun. Can you imagine one of the current metal bands doing something like this? Of course not. They’re all too busy taking themselves seriously.
I think it’s in the same key.
I Googled the lyrics and was able to sing “We’re Not Gonna Take It” along with the background music. Granted, I confused the hell out of myself doing so and my head nearly exploded.
That kicked ASS!
Nah, I’m finding it harder and harder to justify taking the time to go to a concert these days, and while I like Twisted Sister, they’re not the ones who’ll motivate me to go.
Saw this on Goldmine’s website:
Havah Nagila at the end TOTALLY rocked! Not sure I’ll get the album, but I will say for the record (no pun intended) that they were the first band I actually ‘followed’, in a musical sense (ie- saved up to buy more than one album of).
I’ve had sort of a soft sport for Dee Snider since his congressional testimony when he stood up to Al Gore.
I believe this was the same time that I learned to like John Denver, since he stood up for the rockers. It was also near the beginning of my unending hatred of Tipper.
Denver’s testimony is a great read. Too bad it kept him from going on a shuttle mission.
Man I love Dee Snider. He’s so…inappropriate.
Nice find!
I just heard this song on the radio again. Dee’s voice has definitely held up better than some of the other singer’s of his era (Vince Neil, I’m looking at you).
