True to form, it's pretty rebellious when Dee goes over time by a minute and a half. But, who's gonna stop him? Exactly. No one. Because, he's not gonna take it.
@@kickerpunter My great grandfather had a rule of life... Never gamble, do not run around chasing skirts, do not smoke ans stay away from hard alcohol, and it will all turn out in the end. I think he just meant stay away from addiction but never forget to enjoy in moderations.
Great song, and will be so for centuries to come for any society that is fighting against conformity. God bless Dee Snider and others who wrote the great songs. I was so very happy to hear Dee sung in a church and he's a believer, a man of God, just on the more radical side, the side of freedom.
We're not gonna take it... response to dad's what are you gonna do with your life, from Dee Snider's youth. He sang in a church choir until he was 19. It is connected to 'Oh Come All Ye Faithful'. Song was popularised in the two weeks prior to the release of the music video. Dee Snider wrote the music video for the song as well as the song itself. Hook for the song was written in 1980. Remainder was written in 1983 in time for the release of the album, 'Stay Hungry' (1984).
I remember hearing it the first time at my campground...so I heard the song first , than the video...I loved this song when I was a kid, so it has a special place in my heart and part of my lifes soundtrack
Remember back in the 80 living in Baja my cousin Günther bought twisted sister stay hungry and quiet riot metal health in cassettes, we play the hell out of them. Good times... good times.
Love the song. Love the album. But Dee says without the We're Not Gonna Take It video, there would not have been a "Thriller". Um....sorry Dee, the Thriller album came out 2 years before Stay Hungry, and its iconic video came out a year and a half before yours. ;) Love ya...but gotta correct you on that one. :)
Yep, it was 5 months before. I was just gonna type the same thing. Good catch. Dee's re-writing history again lol. However, he may have gotten confused with the opening sequence of Jackson's "Black or White" video which was a direct rip-off of "We're Not Gonna Take It".
Beyond that, he called this 'the first video with a story'. Sorry- Adam & The Ants had that with "Stand And Deliver" in 1981... and if you listen to the solo of "We're Not Gonna Take It" and listen to the solo in Stand And Deliver? Awfully similar. Not saying TS ripped Adam & Marco off, but it was hard to miss the similarities when I first heard "We're Not Gonna Take It".
This song rocka and I love the video I use to watch much Music all the time with power hour and then the power 30 and loved when this song and video came on it's got to be one of the best Rock vids of all time
I have always considered _Stay Hungry_ to be a Christian Rock album. The lyrics were so uplifting and insightful and can be interpreted in that way, a wall of sound against the forces of evil.
@@HolyDiver098 Nothing says "Catholic Church" than a creepy man molesting little children. All Dee would have had to do is name the titular character Pastor Howdy
I wish they would make a companion piece to their 1st documentary. I hope they would go into the making of their "Stay Hungry" era music. In all honesty I love their older material my favorite will always be "You can't stop rock and roll!"
Why would Dee say there wouldn't be a Hot For Teacher and Thriller video had it not been for We're Not Gonna Take It when HFT and Thriller released before Stay Hungry. 🤔
Dee still is sexy as ever after all these years, is good shape for his age. OMG. Why is it our every day men can't all look like him in life physically fit, no facial hair, long hair, now that would a dream come true for some women (me) ??
To this day, I still laugh out loud at the PMRC, including Al Gore and others at the Senate Hearings on rock lyrics, that made a list called "The Filthy Fifteen". "We're Not Gonna Take It" was on the list. (*facepalm*) THAT list/hearing was an epic conglomeration of hubris, stupidity, dishonesty, and cluelessness mixed all in one. Hmmm... "Filthy"? REALLY??? (*re-reads lyrics*) Nope. No cursing. No violent depictions, no CALLS to violence... Gee, whaddaya know? Politicians (and in this case, their wives too) LIED again.
My name is Jamie, I really miss the 80s show so badly. I would love to back into a time machine so badly. Boom lets start the 80s show again. I am not very happy with the Sundays show own boom.
Sorry Dee, you don't get credit for the videos Van Halen put out following WNGT. They created and released a similarly conceptual video for "Pretty Woman" before your video. That video also was the first video banned on MTV. So, nope. Like your music, but claiming others copied you when they didn't, is kind of skeezy.
I think this is one of the greatest songs in the history of songs. And as great as the original Twisted Sister version is, Snider's later remake with just the piano about finding a cure for cancer is as good or better!
Hard to believe some classic rock radio stations still play the garbage of Twisted Sister. Then they go further and neglect truly great bands from the same era, like Cinderella and Great White.
My cousin Shannon got a spanking by her dad when she was being bad and her dad asked her what do you want to do with your life. And she responded. I want to rock . Lol . We were just kids.
PEOPLE NEED TO HEAR THEIR BEST SONG CALLED: THE PRICE ... BUT then everyone needs to learn about JESUS and why he came to the world and how that interplays with this song. AND IT DOES ALL WORK OUT FOR THE BEST FOR THOSE WHO LOVE AND TRUST GOD! Life is a TEST for all of us individually. We will either choose God or choose to live whatever ways we want to. THAT is the test........ ( and where the "price" partly comes from, in terms of the reality of this test of life we all have been given ) THINK ABOUT THAT..... Then go to JESUS and get yourself SAVED, ENLIGHTENED, AND RECONNECTED WITH GOD OUR CREATOR/FATHER!!!
unless one of the other thousand religions on the planet is the correct one. How do you choose? They all claim truth but everyone has to make a choice on what they want to believe. Is it based on feelings? Facts? Tradition? What your parents told you to believe? Just food for thought...
@@Tbone.357 Hi, actually, i only talk FACTS!!! So, yes, the fact is, it is everyone's choice to choose for themselves. BUT everyone should be made of aware of all their choices! 2- There are not " thousands " of religions. Only a handful. All OF THEM ARE BASED OFF OF THE BIBLE AND LATER, WHAT JESUS HAS SAID!!!!! ( FACT! ) 3- In the Holy Bible, in the first book of the new testament, the book of matthew, There is a recording of something Jesus first said when he began his ministry. This is what he first said. " I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE! NO ONE CAN TO THE FATHER, EXCEPT BUT THROUGH ME " !!!! ANYONE WHO ASKS? WILL RECEIVE! ANYONE WHO SEEKS? WILL FIND! AND ANYONE WHO KNOCKS? I WILL OPEN THE DOOR FOR THEM!! " So T-bone is it? IF YOU ASK JESUS TO SHOW YOU HE IS WHO HE SAID HE IS? HE WILL! IF YOU SEEK HIM? HE SAYS YOU WILL FIND HIM! AND IF YOU KNOCK? HE SAID HE WILL OPEN THE DOOR FOR YOU!!!! ( these are all spiritual metaphors ) Get yourself an international modern english bible, and just go to the new testament, and start reading there, in the book of matthew. This will educate you on who Jesus is and what he said about everything. And then you can choose to take a chance on him and go to him for your reconnection, healing, and salvation. and everything else he provides for us. within us. He has been my best friend for over 30yrs now. And he NEVER lets me down! no matter what happens outside of me, and all around me? he always helps me deal with it and get through it. and continue going. And he does this for millions of other people who go to him too! so i am certain he will also help you too. BUT YOU HAVE TO GO TO HIM FIRST AND ASK HIM FOR THAT HELP! READ THE BOOK OF MATTHEW .....

Oh no Dee.... I stay clear away from church. Never felt anything, so participating would be on false premise. Ergo making fun of other people having an religion. I am not going to make fun of people that way.
A strange religious prude step-aunt of mine gave me this album (on tape) for my birthday or Xmas back a year or two after it had come out. I was about 14. I kind of appreciated the effort, but it was a bit cringeworthy. Such an obvious attempt to try to be cool with the teenaged boy. "OK. Yeah, I know this song, and it was alright. I just can't listen to this album though." Anyway, interesting little talk.
Wow, "There would be no Thriller without us" suggesting Michael Jackson would not had made that sort of video without inspiration from Twisted Sister lol? Complete delusional bullshit. This a a great B rate song.....this is not Dark Side Of The Moon.
Why? Because they only had one hit? Most metal bands get derided and lose street cred for having any hits at all. You can have a hit accidentally. It happened to Black Sabbath with Paranoid, and Queensryche had Silent Lucidity. Can you take those bands seriously? In contrast, if one hit isn't enough to be taken seriously, actually they were a two hit wonder in the North American market, and a 4 hit wonder in the UK. Either way, they had a more successful career than most.
True to form, it's pretty rebellious when Dee goes over time by a minute and a half. But, who's gonna stop him? Exactly. No one. Because, he's not gonna take it.
That drum intro!
A fan since 84 when i was 6!
This song introduced me to metal and rock, so it might not be a sell out. I still love it. Thank you, Twisted Sister!
Laszlo F metal😂😂😂😂
Dang, Dee has taken good care of himself!
He sure has. I met him not to long ago.
You should see his wife. Smoking
No drugs, no heavy drinking, regular exercise. In fact, no drinking up until a few years ago from what I believe.

All the way from Singapore with ♡...Honestly no one can touch that song..The Price..It should be a legacy song..
It's considered a glam metal/hard rock classic... but to me this song felt kinda punk in attitude with its out right defiance and rebelliousness.
Medalion metal😂😂😂

This guy is a lot of fun. He's also well versed, as his deposition in congress against censorship for songs attested.
This was the biggest song for metalheads in my country from 1984-1986.
chuckyspell Omg, i feel sorry for you guys
Dee has remained his coolness way better then nearly all other aged rockers. I wish he would do more movies.
Dee Snider: larger than life. And still kicking ass!
We saw them on this 1985 tour with Dokken opening up for them. What a night!!!!

dee is a good egg ..a bit scrambled but still entertaining 👍 thanks for this Boom !
I always loved this song, and I never saw the video!
Always loved Dee, he’s so down to earth.
Great voice and band
Dee worked his ass off to success and is totally lucid about it.
Dee Snider is the man.
Good stuff
DEE ERES UN DIOS ....VIVA EL ROCK!!
First album I ever bought, and I am not ashamed because I still listen to it only now digitally.
No need to be ashamed. I listen to it in my car as loud as I can! :)
This song defined a generation and was inspiring for so many fans!
It was a great song
Great song and video.
You Can’t Stop Rock and Roll is a great album!

Good point. However, the Thriller video was released only 5 months before Dee's video, not 18. (December 2, 1983 vs around May 10, 1984)

He's right about the "Hot For Teacher" video (released 6 months later) but the "Thriller" video trumps "We're Not Gonna Take It" by 5 months.
BECAUSE HE'S AN EGOMANIAC
I think he was confused and referring to "Black or White".
Oh Hell YES.... LOVE the fuck out of this guy.. 3
This was mt 7th grade anthem in the 80s.
I was 14 at the time and I felt the same way lol
One the hard rock song ever
Best opps
YES, IT'S ONE OF THE ROCK SONGS, THAT'S ABOUT IT ;-)
¿Que?
Now we are TALKN' !!! 😎🤘
Freedom Convoy!
any other Twisted Sister song but this one! Under the Blade album please
@SabuPtolemy YES!!!
Remember them from the Ying Yang Club in Yorktown New York before the album they kicked ass
"Burn in Hell" at the end!
First time I heard that song was on Pee Wee's Big Adventure. None of the guys had their makeup or costumes on, but that is a damn good song too!
LoL! Another Awesome Account!
K, I watched the Netflix doc and am I crazy thinking that (if he was taller) Simon Helberg could play Dee?
Dee still is sexy as ever after all these years, is good shape for his age. OMG. Why is it our every day men can't all look like him in life physically fit, no facial hair, long hair, now that would a dream come true for some women (me) ??

Dee should collaberate with David Lee Roth. Sparks would fly and we would see the former 80's icons fire up again.
To this day, I still laugh out loud at the PMRC, including Al Gore and others at the Senate Hearings on rock lyrics, that made a list called "The Filthy Fifteen".

Nope. No cursing. No violent depictions, no CALLS to violence...

Please get him to talk about "The Terrible Thunder Lizards".
Video's did make the song back in MTV days. Look at what Whitesnake did.
It's one of my favorite anti bully songs ever made
Pretty much knew the writing was on the wall for the end of rock when songs like this popped up

Are you going to comment on your AMAZING cover of Leader Of The Pack?
Hahahahaha!
Holy Bald Head Jesus, the ego on this guy!!!!!
What a guy.
"Oh Come All Ye Faithful..." Yeah, I can see that. But at least it was in the public domain, so no legal problems.
Okay, so he means “argue AGAINST “ that idea, but he said the opposite.
The video is silly. a comedy in child comedy style. but i loved it as a child. it's Aj''s beat in the intro that made the song

Hard to believe some classic rock radio stations still play the garbage of Twisted Sister. Then they go further and neglect truly great bands from the same era, like Cinderella and Great White.
At the time I thought that the song was about going against authority or something like that?
My cousin Shannon got a spanking by her dad when she was being bad and her dad asked her what do you want to do with your life. And she responded.

The guitar intro on this has always reminded me of the guitar intro on Anarchy in the UK. Anyone else?
Strangeland
Nice try Dee but the Thriller video predates the we're not gonna take it video.
I can't stand the albums, but live? Live these guy's kick major ass. It's like two different bands.
Thank god for Twisted S because M Jackson had no talent until they came along.
