Stay Hungry

Stay Hungry is the third studio album by American heavy metal band Twisted Sister, released on May 10, 1984, by Atlantic Records. It contains the band's two signature songs, "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock", both of which remain a staple of '80s glam metal. According to RIAA, Stay Hungry is the band's most successful release by far and their only platinum album. Eventually, the album achieved multi-platinum status in the U.S. with sales of more than 3 million copies by 1995. During recording, producer Tom Werman brought some songs by English heavy metal band Saxon for the band to listen to, which led to a conflict with Dee Snider who understood it as Werman wanting the band to replace some of his songs with Saxon covers. Guitarist Jay Jay French also claims the band lost two songs that they wanted on the album due to Werman's influence. Twisted Sister performed the song "Burn in Hell" during a cameo appearance in the 1985 film Pee-wee's Big Adventure. The two songs that comprise the Horror-Teria segment became the basis of Twisted Sister lead singer Dee Snider's 1998 film Strangeland, in which Captain Howdy was played by Snider himself.
