Mark Weiss, Mark “Weissguy” Weiss is the rock photographer whose images basically taught the 1980s how to pose. His origin story is wonderfully punk: in 1977 he got arrested for selling his KISS photos outside Madison Square Garden, and by June 1978 he’d landed a national splash with a Steven Tyler (Aerosmith) centerfold for Circus—then ended up on staff. In the 1980s, he wasn’t just “covering” bands; he was riding alongside them as a tour photographer for artists like Ozzy Osbourne, Bon Jovi, Mötley Crüe, Poison, Metallica, and Twisted Sister, helping lock in that whole glam-and-guts look while it was still hot and loud. Later on, his lens also tracked bigger pop-culture gravity wells—acts like The Rolling Stones, Madonna, and Wu-Tang Clan—but the heart of the Weiss legend is still that late-’70s-to-’80s run where rock didn’t just sound larger-than-life; it looked like it too.
Stay Hungry Album Description:
"Stay Hungry" is the third studio album by American heavy metal band Twisted Sister, released in 1984, by Atlantic Records. The vinyl album features ten tracks that showcase the band's energetic and theatrical style of heavy metal music, which helped them gain mainstream success and become one of the most iconic bands of the 1980s.
The album was produced by Tom Werman, who had previously worked with acts such as Motley Crue and Cheap Trick. The production is polished and slick, with a focus on catchy melodies, harmonies, and hooks that made the album accessible to a wider audience while still retaining the band's heavy metal roots.
The vinyl album opens with the classic hit "We're Not Gonna Take It," a sing-along anthem that became an instant radio and MTV hit. Other standout tracks include "I Wanna Rock," a high-energy rocker that has become a staple of the band's live shows, and "The Price," a power ballad that showcases lead singer Dee Snider's powerful vocal range.
This album includes the original custom inner sleeve with album details, complete lyrics of all songs by and artwork and/or photos.
