Hair Metal Podcast: Episode 15: TWISTED SISTER w/ Special Guest...SHAN O'CONNOR! Welcome to the Fandom Podcast Network's special presentation of... THE HAIR METAL PODCAST! The Hair Metal Podcast cover bands that reached several levels of popularity and notoriety during the mid to late 1980's "Hair Metal" explosion. We take an in-depth look into the bands that defined the style and sound of Hair Metal, and many other bands that may or may not be categorized as Hair metal, but did reach some popularity during the Hair Metal rush of the 1980's. Kevin Reitzel is your host for The Hair Metal Podcast. Kevin's special guest for this Hair Metal Podcast episode, is Shan O'Connor! Kevin welcomes Shan back to the Fandom Podcast Network to discuss one of her favorite bands of all time... TWISTED SISTER! Twisted Sister was originally from New Jersey, and later based in Long Island, New York. Twisted Sister's best-known hits included MTV favorites "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock". Although the band is sometimes regarded as glam metal due to its use of makeup, Twisted Sister rocked hard for may years from the 1970's through the 1980's, and through their reunion shows from the late 90's through 2016. Twisted Sister are also ranked No. 73 in VH1's 100 greatest artists of hard rock. Kevin and Shan discuss the early years of Twisted Sister in the 1970's and their break out years with MTV in the 80's with their most successful album "Stay Hungry". They also discuss the Twisted Sister's fantastic documentary called " We are Twisted F**king Sister" which can currently be seen on Amazon Prime. Kevin also has a Rock N' Roll T-Shirt check with Shan and also asked her about her recent concerts she's been to and what she's looking forward too. Kevin would like to thank his very special guest... Shan O'Connor!Please enjoy this special episode of the Fandom Podcast Network's, The Hair Metal Podcast!

Get your 80's glam rock makeup ready, because this week we have to harness the power of rock to fight back against our horrible father in the music video for "We're Not Gonna Take It" by Twisted Sister."I know what that is... Thats Music!"-Douglas C, 1984Link to Video: http://bit.ly/2RyP7Yy Follow us on the socials, and submit your favourite video for review: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/videojockeyspod/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/videojockeyspod/Twitter: https://twitter.com/videojockeyspod?lang=enOrEmail us - Videojockeyspod@gmail.comThanks for listening
Tim's been getting a lot of flack on social media for raising awareness around the hordes of so called "experts" who are using social media to separate people from their hard earned money. One of those so called experts even said that Tim was lazy and that if we wasn't prepared to name names, he should be quiet. Tim does not name names but in this episode he calls out the tactics that are indicative of "experts" whose brand promise does not align with their actions. It's fun, it's short, and for those that are playing the scam game, likely a little uncomfortable. Screw the Naysayers. We're Not Gonna Take It.
**Stay Hungry** (1984) es el tercer álbum de estudio de la banda de heavy metal estadounidense **Twisted Sister**. El álbum contiene las dos canciones más exitosas de la banda, "We're Not Gonna Take It" y "I Wanna Rock", además de la balada "The Price". Stay Hungry logró la certificación de multi-platino en los Estados Unidos por haber vendido más de 3 000 000 de copias. En 2009, la banda tocó Stay Hungry en su totalidad por primera vez, incluyendo canciones nunca tocadas en vivo anteriormente como "Don't Let Me Down" y "Horror-Teria: Street Justice".
I catch up with actor Mark Metcalf, who portrayed the legendary Douglas C. Neidermeyer, in Animal House. Mark emulated the character in two Twister Sister video, "I Wanna Rock" and "We're Not Gonna Take It". Mark famously played Bob Cobb on Seinfeld, better known as "The Maestro". Sci-fi fans will recognize Mark from Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Star Trek Voyager.
Episode 27 — Christmas Songs that ROCK We're trying something new in this podcast, folks. As Christmas approaches, we're highlighting some of the Rock and Roll Christmas songs we've heard over the years. From the sublime to the slightly corny, covers to originals, Rock music has lent its voice to the Advent season. Join us this week as we review some of the classics and deeper cuts that have made for a Rock and Roll Christmas season. Bing Crosby and David Bowie - Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy This song was featured in September of 1977 for "Bing Crosby's Merry Old Christmas," which would be the last of Crosby's Christmas specials. It was surreal to see the glam rock Bowie paired with American icon Crosby in this inter-generational duet. Bowie balked at performing "The Little Drummer Boy," and so creators Ian Fraser,Larry Grossman, and Alan Kohan added the "Peace on Earth" counterpoint. Twisted Sister - O Come All Ye Faithful Not exactly a classic of the genre here. Twisted Sister simply puts the words to “O Come All Ye Faithful,” with the music from their well known classic “We're Not Gonna Take It.” Cheap Trick - I Want You for Christmas Here's Cheap Trick's take on Christmas, just taking their hit "I Want You To Want Me" and converting it to a Christmas song. Not original, not a lot of staying power, but if you prefer your Christmas tunes to have a certain lounge lizard appeal, this may be what you're looking for. Chuck Berry (and Lemmy) - Rudolph Run From 1958, Berry takes his turn at a Christmas song which has become a standard over time. This tune was very similar to his hit “Johnny B. Goode.” Also featured is the 2008 remake by Lemmy Kilmister (of Motorhead fame), Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top), and Dave Grohl (Nirvana) in a distinctly crunchier take on the compilation “We Wish You a Metal Christmas.” Elvis Presley - Silver Bells Jay Livingston and Ray Evans wrote this song which was originally performed by Bob Hope and Marilyn Maxwell in the movie “The Lemondrop Kid” in 1950. Presley covered this song in 1971 for his Christmas album at the height of his comeback era. Presley never performed outside the United States. The Kinks - Father Christmas From 1977, this original song tells the story of a department store Santa who gets beat up by some poor kids looking for money. Over time this has become a classic Rock Christmas song, covered by a number of artists. You'll hear this tune on "That 70's Show" and "Bob's Burgers." Queen - Thank God It's Christmas Another original song from 1984, this song was on the UK charts for 6 weeks. Da Surfones - Waikiki Christmas It's not the Beach Boys, but close. Because who needs a White Christmas? Suddenly, Tammy! - Rock 'n Roll Santa Claus Alright folks, listen to this tune and see how many snippets you can identify. Gary Walker and the Boogie Kings - Santa's Got a Brand New Bag And, this is not James Brown. Another Christmas take on a prior hit, this time it's "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag" James Brown - Santa Go Straight to the Ghetto The Godfather of Soul has to get into the Christmas spirit. Run D.M.C. - Christmas in Hollis From 1987, this song was played in the 1988 (arguably) Christmas movie “Die Hard.” James Slater - All I Want from Santa (is a girl from Atlanta) This was a big hit in metro-Atlanta when it came out in 1983. Slater wrote this song for an upcoming gig in Atlanta, and it got solid air play on 96 Rock (WKLS) at this time. The Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping I know what boys like...for Christmas, perhaps. This Ohio group has another hit on their hands for the holidays. Greg Lake — I believe in Father Christmas They said there'd be snow at Christmas, they said there'd be peace on Earth. The instrumental riff is from the "Troika" portion Prokofiev's "Lieutenant Kije" Bob and Doug McKinsey - The Twelve Days of Christmas Our friends from SCTV and the Great White North close out the podcast with this comedy track from 1981.
Kevin Egan sat with us to talk about his history with music, NYHC and his own bands. Growing up in Holbrook NY, Kevin was a long way from NYC and the music thriving on the lower east side at the time. But having stumbled upon early NYHC and some like minded friends such as Tom Capone, Kevin made his way into the band BEYOND and NYC hardcore history. Kevin walks us through the history of all of his bands and musical endeavors and explains why "We're Not Gonna Take It" is one of the best songs ever written. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.6 band https://www.facebook.com/One.SixBand/?ref=br_rs BEYOND https://www.facebook.com/beyondhardcore/ The Last Crime https://thelastcrime.bandcamp.com/ http://www.sunkentemplerecords.com/ (Cassette Release) Sponsors https://raisedfistpropaganda.com/ https://nautilusroasting.com/
Steve Cooper talks with actor Mark Metcalf. Mark is best known for playing ROTC officer Douglas C. Neidermeyer in the movie classic Animal House, a character he later emulated in the popular Twisted Sister videos We're Not Gonna Take It and I Wanna Rock, portraying The Maestro in Seinfeld and his recurring role as The Master in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. He has also been seen in TV shows such as Miami Vice, Angel, Party of Five, Walker Texas Ranger, Hill Street Blues, Teen Angel, Ally McBeal, Melrose Place, JAG and Mad Men.

After having the flu for a week and binging GLOW on Netflix, Mat hunkered down and put together an episode revolving around wrestlers in music videos. You can hear about Mat's story hosting an event at E3 and just how sick he got as he discusses "We're Not Gonna Take It" by Bif Naked, "It Doesn't Matter" by Wyclef Jean, and "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper.

After another barrage of articles and social media uproar about giving Trump permission to use We're Not Gonna Take It, Dee takes to the mic again to address concerns. And he talks about being too old to wear the word "f**k".
Dee rants about Twitter, Donald Trump. 'We're Not Gonna Take It', judging art by it's creator and finally about being an individual/leader. Just another week on Snider Comments.
Your hosts are Amy, Emily, and Vu. While I dominated this show (because of Twisted Sister), Emily and Amy will talk more in next week's show. Normally these podcasts don't appear back-to-back, but because of the untimely death of MCA (Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys), I felt that I had to push this as a breaking news podcast. I had just heard the news as I was bringing up the recording equipment for the podcast, so none of us were really prepared to talk about Beastie Boys and their massive influence. As you recall, Adam had to cancel all the Beastie Boys tour, due to a cancerous tumor in his left parotid gland (that was in 2009). The last BB news we reported was that they released Hot Sauce Committee Part Two (part one was never released!). The majority of this show is about Twisted Sister, thanks to the gold mine that is Dee Snider's biography "Shut Up and Give Me the Mic". The book comes out May 8th via Gallery Books/Simon & Schuster Publishing. If you can't bother to read the review, you can give us a listen. Amy recalls her first and only hand-written fan letter to Twisted Sister. Her reward was a glossy 8x11 photograph of the band. I know the timeline is a little off, but for the most part, the UK broke Twisted Sister and they got a record deal with Atlantic Records. We briefly touch on their rise and eventual fall (no thanks to Tipper Gore). We also talk about his relationship with his wife, Suzette. They met when she was 15 and he was 21! We played a clip of Dee Snider's Dee Does Broadway album, coming out May 8th, as a nice companion to his book. Song of the show is the classic Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It" from their triple platinum 1984 album, Stay Hungry. PS, according to twistedsister.com, this will be the "best Twisted summer ever", they'll be on tour in Europe and the USA. If I get a tour announcement, I'll let you know.
