I am more curious as to what demographic Dee's angling for here. I mean ANY one who still knows who he is is here at HH and the last thing we will admit to is listening to Broadway musical numbers?

 

I mean who is going to buy this? My Gram doesn't know who Dee Snyder is...

[Nightrain]

this is confusing!

[speedboi101]

Seems he will do anything for a buck nowadays.

[heaven&hell]

Quick releasing crap projects and make a new Twisted album instead.

Dee doesn't need to do "anything for a buck," he's pretty much set for life just off the publishing for "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock." Every time one of those songs gets used in a TV show, a movie, or a commercial (and those tunes have been used in a lot of 'em) he gets paid mad benjaminz.

 

Since Dee's already got more money than he'll ever need, I'd say he just did this stupid Broadway record cuz he was bored, and because he could. I mean, you don't cut a record like this expecting to MAKE money. There's no audience for it, nobody's gonna buy the f*cking thing, he won't make a nickel!!

Dee Snider's doing a book signing in my area this week for his "Shut Up and Give Me the Mic" autobiography... my brother is planning on going. I told him to ask on my behalf, "A Broadway album? Dude, what the f*ck?"

You will of course let Us know what Dee says right?????

[Fat Freddy]

My bro wimped out and didn't ask Dee about what possessed him to do such an album ...

 

However, he did report that the store was playing the "Broadway" CD during the signing so he had to hear it the whole time he was waiting on line... and he called it "pure torture"
