BLACK SHEEP
OF THE FAMILY
NOTHING
LIKE THE REST
Stay Hungry
is the third
studio album
by American
heavy metal band
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
A 25th Anniversary Edition
was released on
June 30, 2009,
by Rhino Records.
The first disc
contains remastered versions
of the nine tracks
from the
May 1984 original.
