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...

Seems he will do anything for a buck nowadays.

 

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?" :rofl2:

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" :rofl:

    • I have a few (two, maybe three?) friends on here who know me and my ongoing fascination with ballads and power ballads. I thought i'd catch you up on the project. As a teen I made a collection of 10 or so mix tapes which i named "Mellow Metal," which looking back makes me chuckle. While the title's alliteration was pleasing to the ears, many of the songs included on the tapes were hardly metal. Ballads by Cheap Trick, Heart, and other such outliers were included in the collection. In August of 2020 i began my journey of an online project by starting a list of every ballad i knew by AOR, Hard Rocks, Heavy Metal, and Hair Metal acts. I crafted criteria for "What Makes a Power Ballad," and the list began to grow. Quickly. In December of that year i lost my oldest son to an overdose, and my enthusiasm and passion for that project evaporated. In the ensuing months, the original domain lapsed and i remained uninspired. The project died. Three years later, I was looking for something to bring me joy — so i revived the project with a new domain of thepowerballadz.com. I began to once again make posts online asking for song suggestions and i realized i had real trouble selling my song choices as POWER BALLADS. People rightfully pushed me on my song choices, and i realized that the term POWER BALLAD was too ... focused. I realized i wanted all mellow songs by bands that i love ... some of which are power ballads, some are just ballads, and yet some aren't even ballads ... just mellow songs. So, I've retooled my criteria from determining what a POWER BALLAD is to determining what songs make the cut to be on my list. I've also decided that the title thepowerballadz isn't working anymore ... so I've gone with theballadz.com. Is that a perfect moniker? Probably not. (Got a better idea? Let me know!) So, HERE is a link to the updated website and HERE is a link to the updated criteria. I'd love to hear thoughts from any ballad (power ballad or not) fans. Thanks guys!

    • I guarantee that virtually nobody here will like this, as it is death metal, but interesting and innovative choices in instrumentation and composition intrigue me. When this song hits the breakdown it takes on very interesting vibe IMO.  
    • New song 'The Nero Decree' featuring Marty Friedman on lead guitar, Ralph Sheepers on vocals, Fredrik Folkare on rhythm guitars, Steve Mann on keyboards, Barend Courbois on bass, Bodo Schopf on drums.
