The guy is a legend producing some of the best music ever created.
Stay Hungry was their MOST successful album. It went triple-platinum 20 years ago!!....and has sold very well around the world ever since! Why is Dee complaining? The other albums only went gold. Also, "We're not gonna take it" was the CHEESIEST song on the album.
S Mack LOL!
And the only reason come out and play went gold was because it was the follow up to such a big album.
@@AngelaSwenson The tune is stupid, along with I Wanna Rock!
@@whataboutrob442 both are rock anthems that will last forever.
@@whataboutrob442 Their two biggest songs were kinda stupid but they had great songs. "The beast" for instance is one of my favorites
Sorry to hear that Tom suffers from TDS. So sad. BUT... there's no denying the stellar sound quality, production and mix of the Stay Hungry album.
He made an accurate analogy between two guys who play victim when things dont go well.
TDS?
@@rticle15 Now do Byeden, who literally blames EVERYONE but himself for the disaster he’s turned our country into…record high inflation, skyhigh gas & food, verge of WW3, ETC.
@@rticle15Toms probably a wokester leftard
came here to write the same thing...
New drinking game: Someone throws in a Donald Trump non-sequitur... drink. I do like interviews with him though. Always something new to glean.
Very easy to insult Trump, the man is beyond a bad joke and has built a fascistic cult of personality round himself.
I met Dee at a horror convention in 2005 and to me (as a fan) he was very cordial and we (briefly) spoke about "Strangeland" and "Twisted Sister" (reformed) as I had seen their philly gig earlier that year.. He also loved my New York Dolls shirt!.
I don’t think Tom is voting for Donald Trump this November
trump wanted the country to be heavier and have more low end
Very few people with functioning brains are.
@@tombennettband1485a bigger bottom for sure
According to Dee's autobiography, he wasn't a multi-millionaire for life as Tom claims. There was a time when he was flat broke and didn't have a cent to his name. At any rate, Dee needs to show a bit more gratitude towards Tom for producing his most successful album and songs of all time.
That's because Dee immediately contracted LSD (Lead Singer Disease) and began buying yachts, mansions, sports cars, a Gym in NYC. Then, when they made the terrible follow-up album, Dee couldn't pay off everything and filed bankruptcy - that was a Dee problem.
Right. He and his wife needed to shop at Goodwill. Nothing wrong with that, but ironic IMO, cuz Dee didn't do drugs. You can understand how some guys blow their money, pun intended, but what was Dee's excuse? Plus, he's been happily married for many years. So women weren't bilking him. Has to be all on Dee IMO. Still enjoy their early music though.
Tom should have said that he set Dee up to be a multimillionaire. Dee being broke is his own fault. It sure wasn't cause Stay Hungry was a bad album and didn't sell.
@@juve3690Their families pitched in and helped, and Suzette became the breadwinner working for Bridezillas in the Hamptons and all over NY as well as doing hair and makeup for Howard Stern, but they had 3 kids by then so that was a lot to take on. I’m sure Dee was cooking breakfast and odds and ends, made the kids do chores to pitch in as well. He’s still doing gigs but doing office work. It took Ric Wake, who Dee helped out in the beginning, to get Celine to record a song Dee wrote, to “get back on his feet”. The major label deal with Atlantic was probably more of a curse than a blessing, although once Dee started licensing the songs out in the 2Ks, and the reunion, touring, working on Broadway, doing reality tv and being a lot more humble, all worked out for him. Yet this grudge over the production of “Stay Hungry” persists because they did a “Taylor’s Version”? Maybe Tom was more arrogant back then as well, and rightfully so if everything he produced was going platinum. Producers have a life span, just like Tarantino said about great directors, there’s a point where they should stop. Coppola just re-edits old movies. Lucas counts his billions but Scorsese and Spielberg are still cranking out movies. None of the top producers of 20-30 years ago are up for Grammys in 2023-2024.
❤️ Dee Snider as a front man, but Tom’s production made that album accessible to the masses. Phenomenal Producer!
Dee just ripped off "Ole Come All Ye Faithful", and no one realized it at the time.
Lol maybe he actually did
Wow, never caught that. 😮
Hmmm 🤔...hate Donald Trump much, Tom?
Right. Such a turn off to bring politics into it. I can't stand Brandon, but if Tom was bashing him, I wouldn't like hearing it when we are talking about great 80s hard rock. Liking a certain political party is not mutually exclusive to any type of music.
Made me laugh.
Why do people have to go political? Fascinating interview though
That was a turn off...
They are seriously deranged and obsessed. It's hilarious
Agreed. I like his musical take and seems like a decent guy but like most leftists, can’t resist their inclination to bring it in to the discussion where there is no crossover. But I don’t disagree with his take on Twisted Sister. Dee is overbearing to put it mildly.
Yeah, that bummed me out, too. But then, he’s a Jewish businessman from New York! So, you can guess what his political compass is going to be. Oh well…still love his work.
@@jamestcallahanphotographer yeah, he's a brilliant producer. I'll never get why Jews go since the modern dem party Hayes Israel
The production sounds fine. A Classic. The band re-recorded it and it sucked.
Sucked bad
Did they really?
@@jamestcallahanphotographer yeah it was completely garbage
Yeah! The guitar recording sounds really good on the first one. Just... why rerecord it?
We got the same thing when Flotsam & Jetsam re-did No Place For Disgrace... came out awful the second time around. Big difference was that F&J actually had a good reason to take that chance.
Minimal talent anyway. They are lucky they made it at all.
The guitars on Stay Hungry were not distorted enough, I even thought the tone was equivalent to Foreigner's guitar tone when I was listening to this as a 15 year old in the 80's
Hence, why he produced it to sound more "ear friendly" to the general public.
🤔 But here's a bit of info that may help describe why it could've been the band themselves who chose not to add more guitar distortion. I listened to a taped interview with Dee within the last few years, where Dee insisted that during their heyday, TW was a hard rock band, not a heavy metal band. Therefore, not so much distortion(??)
1:45 did he say "Trumpian?" So that's an adjective now? Haha Man the 45th president really does live rent free in these people's heads doesn't he?
Every rock album back then had no bottom end. That was just the production style of the era. I dont know what Dees crying about.
Shout At The Devil had a bottom end
@@TheOnlyHollywood1 barely
Bob Rock changed that.
I don’t know what kind of music you were listening to but Armored Saint, Savatage, Scorpions, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, Dokken, Def Leppard’s High 'n' Dry album, Night Ranger, Foreigner, etc. etc. etc. all had great bottom end.
Because of the limitations of vinyl and the preponderance of midrange in rock.
Tom did work on some monumental records and Stay Hungry was def one of them.
Tom is right! Dee has given no specific reason how Tom ruined the album. I do recall that the overall sound of the album had limited bandwidth. There was no low end (below 40 hz) and no crisp high end. Other than sound quality, the album rocked!
Never cared for Twisted Sister, however respect their effort, Werman’s records speak for themselves. Let it go Dee
Good at music. Politics not. His T.D.S. is that of a spoiled child.
Exactly.
I love his Dee impression..
Sounds like him and what he'd say.
I love this album and the sound on it
I would have been happy for Tom Werman to make me a multi-millionarie...lol
Beau Hill and Tom Werman seem like some great people and hard workers.
Tom puts it out there straight forward, honest and not shit talking Dee. Good to hear his side of the story after hearing Dee bitch and own a out it for yrs. Tom ain't blowing his own horn either. His giving credit where credit is due.
Why does this guy have to bring politics into it? That just blew his credibility with me.
LIbtards screaming at each other over things that happened 30 years ago. Werman inspires so much anger from people he's worked with that I think there's more than a little spin going on here. Too many people bear him a grudge.
Because at heart he is a a liar and should be a politician. Projection much?lol
So fucking stupid that people chose to air politics. Instantly turning off half of the listeners.
Yep. Done.
Thank You Tom and Full in Bloom for this interview. It answered a lot of questions I had always had. And kinda vilified what I liked at the time over the badmouthing it all got later. Love the Stories. Thank You.
I love TS, but I've never liked their guitar tone
The guitar and drum sounds sucked ass
@@shreddinjoe indeed, drummer's snare was always out of tune and not rimshoted, and drenched in unnecessary reverb. And the guitar is just ugh, sounds so middle school
I totally agree. Very ugly guitar tone.
Dee acts embarrassed over Stay Hungry. Says it doesn’t capture TS’s aggression. What does TS do? Follow up with their biggest embarrassment Come Out & Play. “Leader of the Pack” “Be Chrool to your Scuel”. That’s how far TS was removed from the metal scene. Instead of coming back with an aggressive album , that metal heads would listen to, they release a blatantly commercial POS. TS became just an “MTV” band. They decided to make funny videos instead of good music.
Dee singing “I met her at the candy store”. Get the F out of here. That’s on TS. They decided to make bubble gum. Teenage metal fans didn’t want to hear a remake of their grandmas music. The bubblegum bullshit , they made, doesn’t stand on its own.
Yea I was like WTF?!?!? is this shit
Dee is so full of it. And the re-recorded version is a joke. All that did is show us how great Tom Werman really was. And it's funny Dee bitches about Tom wanting him to do a cover song then turns around and does a awful one aka Leader of the Pack on the following album. Just lol...
Werman did his job. What was his job ? to get these bands on the radio to make them a commercial success and that’s what he did. It’s funny how there were no complaints back when Dee was making millions selling out arenas on the cover of Circus and Hit Parader magazine AND all over MTV. Well Dee if you are so unhappy with Stay Hungry, ( keep it real Dee) give every penny you made from the record to a charity of your choice and If not please stop shooting your mouth off.
You are making him sound way more successful than he really was dude
He sold a few million records. That's way better than most bands, and Dee is absolutely secure from "We're Not Gonna Take It"s royalties
Having seen the band many times and been a Twisted fan since the late 70’s, before they made it big, I think I can say that “We’re Not Gonna Take It” is arguably what Dee and the Band were all about. You did not go to a Twisted Sister show and just stand there. Dee and Johnny (JJ) would rip you apart in their between song rants. Oh, they were so good at that and they were FUNNY. They would basically tag-team for, like, 20 minutes at a clip, taking turns berating tough guys in the audience, proselytizing on the ideals of Rock and Roll and Heavy Metal (although they really weren’t a Heavy Metal band - more an outgrowth of the Glam genre), insulting the club owner - everyone was fair game. Rock Music was very serious business to them…if you were against it you were the ENEMY. But it was all very entertaining. And actually, that was initially Johnny’s schtick, the whole rant and rave thing, according to Mike Vendetti, a sound man and great guy I worked with in the early to mid-80s, who knew them in the very early days. He said Johnny invented that whole thing. It was great. But the point is, they were on a mission to deliver Rock and Roll in its purest form to everyone, and YOU WERE GOING TO PARTICIPATE!! OR ELSE!!! And “We’re Not Gonna Take It” was their anthem. It underscored their whole attitude and reason for existing. So, when Tom said he didn’t exactly like the song, it seems it struck a chord. To Dee, it immediately branded him as a “Non-Believer”! Trust me - I know what Twisted Sister was about. And they delivered on Rock and Roll, every time. Their energy output - especially Dee - was enormous. They played to packed houses everywhere they went. You left their show a good exhausted. It was like Rock and Roll Church. But that’s my take on it, anyway. And I love Tom Werman…one of my favorite producers. I do miss those days seeing Twisted in the clubs…they were priceless.
Sounds like a terrible experience.
Doesnt sound fun at all.
I have a feeling Dee needed to protect his persona as a rebellious system fighting " Metal" guy to save face with his fans and the public. The public hates corporate pop sellouts and that is what happened with Stay Hungry.
Embarrassing for a street tough metal band to be exposed for. Dee was afraid.
So he acted accordingly .
Yikes- if you’re gonna go on a tear about ‘obsessive people’ you might wanna make sure you can go 3 consecutive breaths without mentioning President Trump first
Great mix on Stay Hungry! When they re-did that album.thats the one that sucks!!
Without TW the album wouldve been called Go Hungry...
Dee Snider is Dollar Store Gene Simmons. Very impressed with himself.
That's an insult to Gene Simmons
Think about it dude I mean at least Gene Simmons has had multiple up on multiple years of real success unlike this clown
That is the best summation of Dee Snyder I've ever come across, well said. I saw TS play clubs in the NY/NJ area back in the day and they were nothing special.
Tom's Not Gonna Take It
OMG. Yes.
Tom was a great producer but he tended to 'wussify' the hard rock sound
The stuff Tom did with Cheap Trick is a perfect example. Compare the first album (done by the great Jack Douglas) and In Color. In Color sounds so lightweight and "poofy". Heaven Tonight was a slight bit better but still the live versions SMOKED Tom's versions he produced
I’ve listened to a few of the interviews Tom has granted. Seems like a nice guy, with perhaps a very, very slight ego.
But Dee Snider, Rick Nielsen, Nikki Sixx, and George Lynch all have some bad things to say about Tom, and I’d like to know why that is. Can’t figure it out.
Probably because they have cause. Werman can explain it away but there's something he did that pissed them off. He can play it off, but he did something. And they remember.
Because they have bigger egos and Tom is more intelligent.
Consider the sources
i look forward to getting his new book.
He produced my very favorite album of all time SHOUT AT THE DEVIL
Some people don't appreciate the fact that they don't know everything. It takes a team to make any world class project come to fruition
Kinda short sighted to complain about the production of their multi platinum album when nothing else they did went tin. Werman helped them buy houses. Dee should say thank you.
Dee wrote all the songs, sang all the songs, and was their for the recording of the album. If you don't like how it sounds look in the fucking mirror Dee.
I know George Lynch hated Tom. So much so Don Dokken had to bring in another producer for Tooth N Nail.
George isn't the easiest person to deal with so I'm not surprised. Great guitarist though!
He quit. They had to get someone else.
I ALWAYS wondered about why the guitar tone in TS stay hungry was crap.... Like it was a great album.... What was odd is that for an 80s hard Rock band TS guitarist was far from great, and the tone was muddy and sounded like it wasn't played too well in the recording....
The ironic thing for me, having never been a Twisted fan ( you know, I actually have GOOD music taste lol ) is that aside from his bizarre and ego-driven personality quirks, I respect Dee as a guy who didn't compromise his Vision, stage persona, or in working his ASS off trying to get them to succeed. Did they make Randy Rhoads or Jimmy Page nervous as musicians? Lol Of course not!! But Dee's passion and work ethic are, on a Human level noteworthy.
Come on, they had a few good songs.
@@lrn_news9171 Ok. I'm in a good mood lol I'll admit I can be a bit opinionated at times. I'm sure there are "deep tracks" that weren't on the Radio in the 80s from Stay Hungry that are good. But, I'll NEVER say anything good about KISS or Pearl Jam. I have standards! Lol :)
Absolutely. Well said. Dee and the band delivered 1000% every show.
He sold out and then quit like a bitch.
@@lrn_news9171, I think they had one good song, You Can’t Stop Rock And Roll. That was a pretty ballsy song and then they went in this weird pop sounding direction.
Stay Hungry is way better than Still Hungry. I stand with Tom on this one. Even some of the Dokken guys tried re-recording their older stuff and as always, it wasn't even close.
They think they know it all and they don't just humble up and admit Tom did a better job and aced it.
Tom has points on all 23 albums? Wow if he does he must be a millionaire right
Oh yeah
Great interview and i think that the produktion sounds fine
So....
Dee...
You've been, "at war," with this guy about NOT putting those two songs on the album...
The TWO BIGGEST HIT SONGS OF YOUR CAREER...
The two songs which WERE ON THE ALBUM...
Two songs you HAVE made MILLIONS of dollars from...
... what?
Tom Werman sure loves to hear himself talk.
What is the "this" we have had to go thru?
All I'm going to say is listen to Tom's version of Stay Hungry & listen to the version the band did themselves (that Dee loves) and decide.
speaking as a 54 year old who grew up with rock music, it is so disappointing to see that many of the bands who create all those great memories are being so childish and ungrateful. and then air it over the internet for all of us who bought the albums, concert tickets, merchandise and regarded them as super heroes to hear.
Playing an armchair psychologist here. I am guessing that Dee Snider is envious of Tom Werner's ability to produce records that sell. Which is something that Dee Snider is incapable of.
I love hearing Tom Werman talk. He seems like an honest dude and obviously he has an amazing track record. However, sonically a few of the records he did do sound terrible. In particular Stay Hungry and Open Up and Say Ahh
He screwed up Kix's Blow My Fuse too. If you listen to the Fuse 30 Reblown remaster, you hear songs as they should have sounded originally.
Both the biggest selling albums of their career. Shut up
@@Mr.Balance I like the original blow my fuse more than the remastered version
@@tomjulian7226 Never said it wasn't their biggest seller. But ask the band how much they actually made from it. They owed Werman a shitload of money, effectively putting all their profits in his pockets. Straight from Steve's mouth to my ear after a show. Beau Hill did a better job when he remixed the album, and if it had come out sounding as good when it was initially released, it would have sold even better.
I can imagine Tom struggling to transform shit into sugar.
The sound of the band is hard pop anyways......hookish, like the Archie's! 😂
That’s what I was saying…they weren’t really a “Metal” band, although, yeah, they covered AC/DC and Judas Priest in the clubs. But they also did a 1950’s Rock medley of Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, I think, and others. They were about ‘ Rock and Roll’. It was their religion.
@@jamestcallahanphotographer agreed my friend 😁
Dee knows he will get attention for saying certain things, it brings more people to look into any new project he's working on etc...funny that Dee claimed he wrote the entire Stay Hungry album in an hour..gotta admit he was one of the most intense front man ever...I still crank all their stuff...Hungry did have a thin Guitar sound...Suckers def lost the path but the early stuff really kicks & still does...thanks for another up to date interview ..really great content
I always found it interesting that a lot of people that Tom Werman has produced. Always critique or bash him and his production after the fact. I know Dee Snider of course is one of them, Rick Nielsen and I believe Nikki Sixx as well. I’m not sure if Nugent has said anything about Werman’s production
There is a weird sound on Stay Hungry....especially drums. Great album though. I bought it in Dublin Ireland on cassette Summer of 84. Blade is their best though
I liked Tom Werman in your previous interviews. But when he made the comment about comparing the Snyder to Donald Trump that was when I fell in love with Tom Werman. You rock Tom!
Twisted Sister was bigger than the Beatles. Everyone forgetting Twisted Mania?
And he didn't say anything that wasn't true, and he didn't say anything harsh.
These two, (Tom and Dee) should sit down, have a beer and have a man to man talk to sort all of this out, me think.
Dee doesn’t drink
I would be upset too if i were DEE.and my producer couldn't invent Dolby 5.0 and 20k Sub bass for me, on the spot, in 1985 15 years before it ever existed.
the " Loudness War" and Sub Bass.were like 1998
Slayer South of Heaven in 1988 was even Mastered at a much lower Db Volume than what became the trend later
Why did Diary of a Madman sound so amazing?
@@Rockenstein68 Max Norman mic'd and layered acoustic and electric guitars, for the guitar army sound.
Diary was also remastered for digital.
it starts with a microphone engineer who knows how to place mics.
then it can be mixed in many different ways.
even Andy Wallace who mixed and mic'd Reign in Blood, said there was nothing he could do with St Anger the levels on the initial recording were bad, and just mixed it.
Randy Rhoads was layering 12 string nylon string , steel string, and electric guitars over driven .
just as Led Zep did on Over the Hills and Far Away .
Diary was remastered first for CD, then other times over the years .
there I'd nothing actually wrong with Stay hungry, it did well , it didn't have Randy Rhoads layering a guitar army on The Price, but it is a hit song anyway
You can't argue with success give Tom all the credit in the world
I met Dee at Download, back stage.....was always a fan, until I met him....just sucked his teeth and rolled his eyes....I came away thinking “TWAT”.....I walked away and chatted to Eddie, who was a right laugh....Trumpton indeeded..
I don’t know anybody who bought a Twisted Sister album or cassette or CD. It’s a good thing. They had MTV because they sucked.
I "Wanna Rock" has been a big hit on Cobrai Kai. Dee probably got some nice mailbox money 💰 from his song and appearance.
Hellz yes! And that show sucks!
@@ministerofdarknessSnider was on cobrakai lmfao 😂
I was always impressed by the fact "I Wanna Rock" is 2 chords, not 3.
Why complain now? Simple.
It keeps your name in print when you haven’t made anything relevant in decades.
(See also: Kiss)
I kinda like Monster
Lmao this is great
So Reb did the solos?
He did. Not on Stay Hungry but on the record Beau did.
TW is always the smartest guy in the room.
I'd say that there are three sides to this story. There's Tom's truth, Dee's truth, and the actual truth. Dee's complaint about Stay Hungry not showing how heavy the band could be is warranted, considering that Tom produced Shout At The Devil, which I consider to be the heaviest glam metal record out there. However, if Dee wanted the album to be heavier, he should have specified that he wanted it to sound heavy like Judas Priest or AC/DC, instead of just accepting whatever mixes were given to him. Also, I read in Dee's autobiography that Tom was snorting cocaine during the sessions off the soundboard, so maybe Tom's memory has gotten fuzzy because of that
Tom Werman sounds like a kahk suh king kah me doosh with TDS but Stah Hungry is a great record.
WERMAN IS AWESOME
It must've been a nightmare working with an egomaniac like Dee Snider.
Mr. Werman, you can produce my songs and help me sell MILLIONS of albums ANYTIME Sir!!!
I have the demos recorded and ready to go!!!
It's a damn shame that this crap has to creep in and taint what was clearly a history making time in music.
Cheers,
J
I bought it I liked it better than the early albums
Just look at the pic, can you take the guy seriously? The hula hoop was popular once too !!!!
Sounds like wormen is crying about everybody. I just heard him crying about George lynch.
Heavy metal nursery rhymes…
Dee you weren’t the Leader of the Pack!
Twisted Sister guitar players were dreadful at best.
Amen
They are actually really good guitar players. The problem wasn't their playing it was Dee's song writing. Even Dee admitted the guitar playing on the songs is really simple, because he's not a good guitar player but the other guys didn't really help with song writing. He said he would have welcomed it because Eddie is a riff master. He was pretty much forced to write the songs because Jay Jay's song's sucked when he joined. Dee said he comes up with the song title, then the melodies and then tries to explain to the band how the guitar parts should go
@Mooch 514A solo should fit the song, not the guitarists ego. It would sound ridiculous to have a virtuoso solo over a simplistic song. Even Alex Scholnick said he doesn't play a fraction of what he's capable of with Testament because he plays what he feels the song needs, and the song is more important than the player. Shredding on a song when it's not needed just to prove to people what a great guitar player you are is stupid.
Please! Lol The musicians in TS were so mediocre, they make Mick Mars seem actually talented LOL
@Mooch 514 Well let's be fair to Mick, he is becoming more paralyzed as the years go on, He can't even turn his neck anymore. It's really a testament to his skill that he keeps on going, even if he used backing tracks. I'm not going to fight you on Nikki though, he is a pretty bad bass player
Saxon!? That song sucks! Now let's talk leader of the pack...
I think We're not Going to Take It is lame. Always have.
I always found TS albums sort of strange.
The snare sound on Stay Hungry is so bombastic it’s ridiculous.
That said the role of a producer is massive with bands and albums.
His job is to make a record that sells so everyone makes money and the bad can keep making albums.
Dee is a needy weirdo and always has been. He loves nothing more than the sound of his own voice.
Twisted Sister and Quiet Riot, were bubblegum metal, ratt and cru were cool, van Halen before them. Once twisted sister came on the scene all the little kids got mom and dad to buy that record. I started listening to the British metal and then thrash metal. I wasn't into make up and looking like a race car driver/circus clown. And the songs were getting more and more cheesy.
Starting in 1978, we used to see TS in the clubs almost every other weekend. They were the best bar band I have ever seen. After their first record came out, I went to see them live in an arena and it was like a different band. Their sound sucked, their stage show sucked too. It was not the same band I saw 50 times in clubs, it was watered down and bland. They were just another hair-band, I was really disappointed.
They were phenomenal in the NY/NJ clubs, weren’t they?
Its a shame that Dee turned into a giant Douche. He was such a cool dude. But he really messed with people the moment he got famous. Tom Werman made Dee and the guys of Twisted Sister multi millionaires for life
Dee has turned into a major snowflake in his older days, I never would have thought he would turn into such a communist sympathizer. Still love me some twisted sister tho. Lol!
Snider single-handedly ruined his own band with his inability to keep his mouth shut. So much so that TS bassist Mark Mendoza wanted to give him a "permanent limp".
I thought Stay Hungry sounded pretty damn good.
I definitely side with the producer on this consider the re-record "Still hungry "sucks so bad it's almost embarrassing. Stay hungry sounds good and is a classic due to a solid production
I could see Dee’s point on the album should’ve sounded better. But then again. He approved the final mix. So there’s that
Snider's a great front man , but he's also a highly intelligent narcissist who disguises it very well , and that's his issue :/
TS is a clown act, no musical talent and a bunch of terrible songs imo. And their look even then was unbelievably stupid.
This guy sure whines a lot.
Stay Hungry is awful. We're Not Gonna Take It would have gone no where without the funny video.
Would never believe Tom is on the Socialist/communist side of the political arena!! To bad for him. Wouldn't think he is a sheeple!!
I want to hear what Dee thinks of come out and play. That is the worst album ever! Be cruel to your school and leader of the pack? So terrible
