无毛视频淲hat do you want to do with your life?无毛视频� That无毛视频檚 the question asked by the strict father to his adolescent son in Twisted Sister无毛视频檚 classic 1984 video for 无毛视频淲e无毛视频檙e Not Gonna Take It.无毛视频� Of course, the answer is a resounding, 无毛视频淚 wanna rock!无毛视频�
As the charismatic frontman for Twisted Sister, Dee Snider has been living his rock 无毛视频榥无毛视频� roll dream for over four decades. His band may have called it quits in 2016 after delivering a rowdy 40th anniversary tour, but Snider continues on with a new solo album that is certain to appeal to headbangers everywhere.
After being encouraged to create a new album of metal arrangements, the 63-year-old singer enthusiastically accepted the challenge to rock harder than ever. 无毛视频淔or the Love of Metal无毛视频� features Snider无毛视频檚 iconic voice fueling 12 tracks full of killer guitar riffs, rapid-fire drumming and thunderous bass grooves delivered to please the most skeptical metalhead.
无毛视频淟ies Are a Business无毛视频� is an in-your-face opener that examines the turbulent political climate and the amount of misinformation being feed to the masses.
无毛视频淚 Am the Hurricane无毛视频� is a pulsating motivational message to continue to fight and preserve when times seem the darkest.
无毛视频淎merican Made无毛视频� serves as an anthem of unification, while 无毛视频淚无毛视频檓 Ready无毛视频� finds Snider singing about his mother无毛视频檚 passing and the memories no one can steal from him.
无毛视频淭he rain is nothing to fear/When you become the storm,无毛视频� roars Snider on 无毛视频淏ecome the Storm,无毛视频� another moving number about powering through the suffering and becoming stronger as a result.
Following the successful blueprint offered by Ozzy Osbourne and Lita Ford on 1988无毛视频檚 无毛视频淐lose My Eyes Forever,无毛视频� 无毛视频淒ead Hearts (Love Thy Enemy)无毛视频� is a haunting ballad that finds Alissa White-Gluz of Arch Enemy and Snider joining forces for a truly electric performance.
For the new release, Snider clearly has the boys to make the noise with spirited contributions from Howard Jones (ex-Killswitch Engage), Mark Morton (Lamb of God), Joel Grind and Nick Bellmore (Toxic Holocaust) and Charlie Bellmore (Kingdom Of Sorrow).
With his latest effort, Snider has found a comfortable home in the contemporary metal scene by living the words of Quiet Riot that tell us metal health is what we all need.
Feel free to bang your head with Snider when he comes to Pittsburgh at Jergel无毛视频檚 Rhythm Grille on Aug. 26.
