Re: You Can't Stop Rock n Roll is the best Twisted Sister album
With Come Out and Play that anger wasn't there anymore, it was just a heavy metal album with a stupid lead off single. That's how I would describe Stay Hungry. WNGTI was just too happy and lightweight and the rest of the album was quite generic HM. Maybe The Beast and Burn In Hell have some of that...

Re: You Can't Stop Rock n Roll is the best Twisted Sister album
You misspelled "Under the Blade".
Every album was weaker than the one before, maybe except COAP being a bit better than Stay Hungry.

Re: We don't talk nearly enough about Savage Amusement
A massive disappointment. Imagine following up LAFS with something comparable... they could have become a massive band. Instead, this album pretty much killed their upward ascent and they never recovered. You may have forgotten, I sure wish I did, but later they released a little single called &quo...

Re: Covers where the lyrics are different...
Iron Maiden cut the first and last verse off Skyhook's Women in Uniform and made two puzzling changes to the lyrics. First, replacing "Flying to my hometown on a 747" with "Comin' back to London on a 747" which makes perfect sense and if they chose to play it live it could have s...

Re: Was Keel a poor man's Quiet Riot?
Seems like most of the early "hair bands" (Quiet Riot, Keel, Rough Cutt, Stryper, Black N Blue, Y&T, Twisted Sister, etc,) the majority of their catalogs are forgettable filler. I like early Stryper and Keel but basically you're right. Ratt and Mötley were far ahead of the rest in 83-...

Nikki just refuses to give us the classic Crue sound. Anything from 81-91 would be great, but he just won’t do it… They tried to go back to the old sound with New Tattoo and that sucked too. Some of those riffs even were from the Dr. Feelgood era. I'm not sure what people were expecting with the ly...

As long as the soundtrack has ten Frankensteined Van Halen songs from the 1970s, I'm in. Throw in a 1985 rehearsal with Roth too.
