These dudes were our heroes when we were teenagers in the 80s. This song was our anthem one of our many anthems. So many memories. They'll never ever ever be another 80s especially in this crazy messed up decade right now. Rock on. ✌️🤘
This music was considered "rebellion music" by some of our parents. My parents sure didn't like it, and especially didn't like it when me or my siblings turned it up too loud in the house.. They were worried about disturbing the neighbors, but we wanted our neighbors to hear it! Lol, and that's where this cliché was born: If it's too loud, then you're too old. The 80's had some of the best music, and not just rock music. There were other "Hair Bands" just as loud and outrageous from that era, as well as Country, R & B, and the beginnings of rap music in the late 80's and early 90's. You'd probably like it. :)
Also think it's why Gen X is the way we are. A lot of our music, television, etc. was about getting it done and dealing. We are quiet for the most part, just keeping our noses to the grindstone and doing what needs to be done, but when the time comes we will stand up and say it. We're not gonna take it. Perfect example is we had this. Today they have Shake it off. Same theme, Different attitude.
Most don't listen to the lyrics, they focus on how the band looks. Thank you for truly understanding what this song was about. Dee Sinder, the lead singer was extremely intelligent and yes he took on congress to speak out against censorship of music that members of Congress deemed inappropriate. Congress didn't know what make of Snider, he sure wasn't your average heavy metalist.
First time I saw them, they scared me! Didn't ever imagine him fighting Congress about lyrics, but Dee Snider did. Yeah, some of us had dad's like that, some even worse.
He played in the movie Animal House!!! The same lines yelled at fraternity guys - even "that pin on your uniform?!" The character was known as Niedermayer (not kidding 😒). John Belushi was a major character in the movie!! A silly classic!!
the guy that plays the father here you may know him from Seinfeld too, he played a character called "the maestro" in a few episodes, his name's Mark Metcalf
This is such a great song. Dee Snider (the lead singer of Twisted Sister) redid this song a couple years ago as more of an acoustic ballad and put cancer patients in the video. It’s really great and touching. You should also find on TH-cam the video of Dee testifying before Congress I believe in the early 90s.
Great fun and a great rock anthem! Still popular today for sure. The father played one of the military students in the movie Animal House. They certainly have their own look! Thanks Greg!
I saw them twice...in San Bernardino and in San Francisco. Good times back then. One band you should consider is Cinderella from the 80's. Try their songs: Nobody's Fool__Nothing For Nothing__Shake Me__Somebody Save Me.
I Wanna Rock is the Non Extended Version, Douglas C. Had a Hard Day at School, He's a Teacher, A Bad one. Yes Twisted Sister is The Band, Dee Snider is The Lead Singer. Yes Lyrics have Meaning, Not Like the Stuff Today, Hey
That saying correlates to the line in a 1976 movie called Network the line is.... 'I'm As Mad As Hell, And I'm Not Going To Take This Anymore!' And that can be said from every generation at every time in this worlds history and I'm betting every human beings said it at least once in there life I know I have lol.
Am I the only one who enjoyed watching Mark Metcalf's character, Douglas C. Neidermeyer getting his butt kicked the entire video after how he treated his son? 🤣
Their popular stuff (were not gonna take it and I wanna Rock) are pretty much their corney songs. Their better tracks, that actually have some substance, are much of their unknown stuff... Kill or Be Killed Burn in Hell Like a Knife in the Back The Beast Stay Hungry The Fire Still Burns
Hi Greg... In the early 80's I was looking at the sayings and signatures in my son's current school year book...I came across "Twisted Sister"... Man I'll tell you I was ready to hand out some butt whipping !... My son explained it was a band name and not someone calling him a name...I was shocked..relieved and confused..lol...what a crazy name for a band... Thanks for the reaction...see ya soon..👍😄...🌿🌿🌿
It's fine to call them a band or group with this type of music, most people sort of interchange them. Specific examples of both: an orchestra would be a type of band, and a cappella singers with no instruments would be a group. By the way, I did not mean this to be condescending. Thanks for your reaction.
Defiantly more humor in rock music then the most music now, now so many want to be tough and no respect and stupid lyrics about violence and bad attitude against women
New subscriber here! Hoping we can dip into some more legendary bands. Some suggestions that are guaranteed to get you to one million subscribers 😎👇 DIO; Rainbow in the Dark Hungry for Heaven Mystery I could’ve been a Dreamer Iron Maiden; -Wasted Years -Stranger in a Strange Land -Run to the Hills -Two Minutes to Midnight Twisted Sister: The Price Stay Hungry The Beast Horror Terria (this is a two part song). Part 1-Captain Howday...Part 2-Street Justice Ozzy; Shot in the Dark Mamma I’m Coming Home Flying High Again The Ultimate Sin Living Colour; Cult of Personality (Music Video) Poison; Something to Believe in UnSkinny Bop Every Rose Has it’s Thorn Judas Priest: -Heading out to the Highway -Electric Eye -Some Heads are Gonna Roll -The Riper WASP; The Last Command Cries in the Night Restless Gypsy Widowmaker Blind in Texas Jack Action Wild Child There! That oughta keep you busy for a while 😁. Also, be sure to pull up the lyrics when checking out a lot of these tracks, as many of them have deeper meanings within the songs. In addition, it’s usually best to start off with the studio versions, as much of the little nuances get lost in the hype and background noise of live performances. Best of luck on your metal journey. Oh speaking of ‘Journey’ Check out (By Journey) Edge of the Blade Chain Reaction Frontiers
Hey Greg see you've been reacting to variety of music .....if you ever check out Marilyn Manson definitely make "Coma White" & "The Man that you Fear" 2 of them
Dee said he and the band wrote this song at a very down point. They had just been released from their record label, Dee and his wife were expecting their first child, and the holidays were coming up. They were mad as hell and weren't goung to take it anymore. He said thevwords and music just flew out and the song was done rather quickly. It encapsulates their feelings at that time. They were able to get a new record deal, and this became one of their biggest hits.

Everyone under age of 45 should watch Dee Snyder testify to congress.
That would be an awesome reaction video
I love Dee hes awesome!
I loved it when John Denver reply 😂 Mitt Romney looking like a fool
Yes to this! Definitely watch his testimony. And I second the idea of doing a reaction video!
Good advice! He really shocked them by not being what they thought he was- never judge a book by it’s cover right!

My mother loved these guys. She liked kiss too. She saw that these were stage personas and she thought they were fantastic.
Such a underrated band .. dee snider is a rock legend 💯..
It's litterally one of the most highly rated bands in metal, what are you on about?
Most don't listen to the lyrics, they focus on how the band looks. Thank you for truly understanding what this song was about. Dee Sinder, the lead singer was extremely intelligent and yes he took on congress to speak out against censorship of music that members of Congress deemed inappropriate. Congress didn't know what make of Snider, he sure wasn't your average heavy metalist.
Dee snyder is amazing actor and singer and radio host and yes twister sister is the name of the band dee snyder is the lead singer
You have to see the movie Animal House to understand the father. He's a character in the film.
yea that
I just commented that … sorry, I didn’t see your comment.
@@rachel-in-the-208 great minds think alike!! ✌️
" THIS IS OUR life, THIS IS OUR song." Yes we are that generation. Our videos were a mess. Lol.
Bad ass song!!!!🎵🎵🎵🎵🤘🤘We rocked this hard!
Thanks
"We're not gonna take it " was the Anthem of GenX! Oh, how loud I played that song. Oh how it drove my parents crazy!
The father in is the real life father of the singer. The act in the beginning is a redo of a part that the father did in the movie Animal House.
First time I saw them, they scared me! Didn't ever imagine him fighting Congress about lyrics, but Dee Snider did.
Yeah, some of us had dad's like that, some even worse.
you have to react to the acoustic version of this. dee snider (the lead singer) did it to support a kids cancer charity. its hauntingly beautiful.
I seen it too. That was amazing switch of pace and loved it .. I down loaded it .. fuck cancer💯❤️✌️🙏
He played in the movie Animal House!!! The same lines yelled at fraternity guys - even "that pin on your uniform?!" The character was known as Niedermayer (not kidding 😒). John Belushi was a major character in the movie!! A silly classic!!
I was going to say the same about the congress speach. We need more people like him.
the guy that plays the father here you may know him from Seinfeld too, he played a character called "the maestro" in a few episodes, his name's Mark Metcalf
This is such a great song. Dee Snider (the lead singer of Twisted Sister) redid this song a couple years ago as more of an acoustic ballad and put cancer patients in the video. It’s really great and touching. You should also find on TH-cam the video of Dee testifying before Congress I believe in the early 90s.
Absolutely Dee Snyder and Twisted Sister. Dee has a movie called Strangeland. It is amazing.
Lol many used this song in recent lockdown protests in Australia!!! Other protests have used it also was very big in 80s
Check out "I Want to Rock". That is the song the boy was playing at the beginning of the song.
Great fun and a great rock anthem! Still popular today for sure. The father played one of the military students in the movie Animal House. They certainly have their own look! Thanks Greg!
One of my favorite bands. I like every song they put out
seen them in concert at hollywood Fl sportatorium sixth grade 'bout 84 85 . Styx as well. It was awesome. First rock concert.
believe it or not , some of my friends parents were just like that, and more.
This was the anthem of the times. Love your selection of music, Greg.😊
Yes "Twizted Sister" is the name of the band.
I saw them twice...in San Bernardino and in San Francisco. Good times back then. One band you should consider is Cinderella from the 80's. Try their songs: Nobody's Fool__Nothing For Nothing__Shake Me__Somebody Save Me.
Damn this brings back memories, this was the first song I learned to play on the drums about 40 years ago as a 7 or 8 year old beginner.
I Wanna Rock is the Non Extended Version, Douglas C. Had a Hard Day at School, He's a Teacher, A Bad one. Yes Twisted Sister is The Band, Dee Snider is The Lead Singer. Yes Lyrics have Meaning, Not Like the Stuff Today, Hey
My friends' parents hated this so much that they had to come to my house to watch Mtv🤣🤣🤣
So funny...this song was in an ad shown right before this reaction!!!🤣🤣🤣
That saying correlates to the line in a 1976 movie called Network the line is.... 'I'm As Mad As Hell, And I'm Not Going To Take This Anymore!' And that can be said from every generation at every time in this worlds history and I'm betting every human beings said it at least once in there life I know I have lol.
Bro, I think you're awesome. Thank you for your great, fun, and thorough vids. Luv ya, bro.
~Your Apache Sister
Captain Howdy is another great song and his movie Strangeland is phenomenal
Yes i absolutely agree. His. Character as Captain Howdy was on point. Also has Robert England in the movie as well. 👏👏
That movie will have you looking at your neighbors house and wondering what is going on over there. 😂
The actor who plays the father is kind of reprising the role he played in the movie Animal House.
Am I the only one who enjoyed watching Mark Metcalf's character, Douglas C. Neidermeyer getting his butt kicked the entire video after how he treated his son? 🤣
This isn't a song. It's an anthem.
There best to me is “ wake up the sleeping giant “.. but is a video that helped make MTV popular back in day 💯❤️✌️🤘
Their popular stuff (were not gonna take it and I wanna Rock) are pretty much their corney songs. Their better tracks, that actually have some substance, are much of their unknown stuff...

Great reaction as always love it
...If you remember the 80's......you weren't there......Peace!
Great song!
This is the actor and verbage from "Animal House". They made their look crazy for a reason.
Check out Slade….Dee said without these there would have have been no Twisted Sister…Cum on feel the Noize being a good starter
I just absolutely love your channel. Greg, you’re awesome!
Love this video 😂
Quiet Riot re did this. One of the band went to quiet riot.
Should listen to the stripped down version for cancer awareness. Cried like a girl 😢
LOL…Maybe the anthem for Nov 8th😂
fun fun fun

Hey Greg see you've been reacting to variety of music .....if you ever check out Marilyn Manson definitely make "Coma White" & "The Man that you Fear" 2 of them
Welcome to being raised by veterans of the Vietnam war
Yeah. Name of a band. Not an individual
Why are some of these videos blurred out??
Unfortunately that’s old school shit. They are ruthless. That’s drill Sargent vibes. I’m gen x and the parent is a boomer.
welcome to dads in the 80s bro lol;
Greg check out "Fire it up" by Black Label Society, you won't be let down.
It's very blurry
First ❤
Valentine, you are awesome! Congrats on being the first!
That was my upbringing till i found metal
Bro check out black or white by Michael Jackson you'll love it
Dee said he and the band wrote this song at a very down point. They had just been released from their record label, Dee and his wife were expecting their first child, and the holidays were coming up. They were mad as hell and weren't goung to take it anymore. He said thevwords and music just flew out and the song was done rather quickly. It encapsulates their feelings at that time. They were able to get a new record deal, and this became one of their biggest hits.
