Dee Snider - For the Love of Metal

I actually have only heard one or two songs from it so far. I was browsing Liquid Metal's playlists (and sometimes I get to see what's on, but I take phone calls there, so I don't get to listen to Liquid Metal very much), and it's on there a lot. I'll have to give it more of a listen. But Liquid Metal seems to absolutely love it!

Nice. Thanks for the info, brother.

I just got a copy today. It's a very good album! The best thing Dee has done since Widowmaker.

And it kicks the snot out of any solo album from Sebastian Bach!

I listened to it last night and was pleasantly surprised! I was expecting a lot of downtuned, overly processed-sounding guitar work, and I guess it does have that, but all of the songs are really catchy. The duet with the Arch Enemy singer works very well too.

I'm kinda digging what I've heard. I may just pick this one up after all.

Just ordered it.

This album's actually pretty decent. Dee's made some pretty big missteps on his last few projects, but this album is definitely a step in the right direction for long-time fans.

It's not perfect and maybe it's not going to be a classic or mind-blowing, but if you're looking to hear Dee straight-up rocking again, you should be able to find something to dig about this one.

It is quite catchy and heavy, albeit in a more modern metal vein. I like it!

I love & respect Dee as much as the next SMF, but Widowmaker's Blood & Bullets and his Never Let the Bastards Wear You Down solo album are about all I need from him post-TS.

OK, so I finally got around to checking out some of the tracks from Dee''s new album on YouTube, and dang, I am officially eating the words I posted above, cuz this is some good stuff. It's officially on my shopping list now. Woo!

This album's probably gonna make my Top 10 for 2018. It's very catchy.

My exceptions were low, so I was pleasantly surprised how good it is

I tried giving this album a few chances and it just doesn't strike me. Its another waste of time to me. He should reform Widowmaker and kick some ass again!!

I'm with Lurideath, this isn't terrible but nothing i'll come back to much.

Dee has set the bar so low over the last few years with his projects, anything that even slightly rocks is considered a win!

True. I'm always hoping for that Desperado sound.

I was reminded that I still need to get this release when I read this earlier:

Is this the same show from where the "Extended Versions" disc is culled from? I have a feeling it is.

Just got this album (yeah, I'm late to the party somewhat) and it's very good, probably the best Dee Snider related thing since Stay Hungry. I was surprised how heavy this was, verging on thrash at times.

Verging on thrash???? WHAAATTTT???? Nothing even remotely close to thrash. More closer to trash as in garbage!

Yup, same gig.

Fun fact: Dee's backing band in the "SMF" cover band included current Overkill guitarist Derek Tailer, and the late Keith Alexander (ex-Carnivore).

Happy 64th birthday Dee

And thanks for reminding me I'm old.
