About

Stay Hungry is the third album by American heavy metal band Twisted Sister. Released on May 10, 1984, the album features the band's two biggest hits, "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock" and the power ballad "The Price." Twisted Sister performed the song "Burn in Hell" during a cameo appearance in the 1985 film Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. The song "Burn In Hell" was covered by black metal band Dimmu Borgir on Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia. "We're Not Gonna Take It" was also covered by Bif Naked on the Ready to Rumble soundtrack. The two songs that comprise the Horror-Teria segment became the basis of Twisted Sister lead-singer Dee Snider's 1999 film Strangeland, in which Captain Howdy was played by Snider himself. In 2004, the band re-recorded the tracks from this album and re-released them under the title Still Hungry.

Artwork: “We were going through the pictures, and that picture came up—the last shot that we took of me crouched in the corner, trapped like an animal. That’s what was in my mind: I was this trapped rat, cornered, ready to fight for whatever is left on this piece of bone. That says Stay Hungry. That represents Twisted Sister. That’s the image. And, bam! That became the cover, and that just put the icing on the cake of making the band more anonymous than ever and me becoming the focal point, the front man, the face, the image, and everything else.” Dee Snider
In 2004, the band re-recorded the tracks from this album and re-released them under the title Still Hungry.
In 2017, Rolling Stone listed the album at No. 76 on its list of the 100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time.
