This version of the song got me through my mother's battle with cancer, which she ultimately lost in Oct 2018. Tonight is the 1st time Ive listened to it in 5 yrs. Thanks Dee.
Sometimes, we all need to be reminded of how lucky we are. I can't imagine how I'd feel if my kid was in that position, and I thank God that I can't. It's too much for any person.
In 1984, it was a song about rebelling against authority. In 2016, it became a song about rebelling against childhood cancer..................................
Heard this song 6 years ago when it came out and it made me tear up. Six years later my son 7yr old son was diagnosed with Stage 4 alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. We've been fighting for almost a year and he has never given up once. Refused to shave his head until he was ready, and he ended up shaving my head. Life will never be as it was, but my faith and relationship with my wife and all my kids are stronger than ever. Every day is a fight and a blessing. Dad's fight for your kids and wife. Don't neglect them, don't cop out, and don't make excuses. Be a man. Moms stay strong.
As someone who is in remission from cancer for me being in the cancer ward every day for almost 2 years for chemo and radiation the saddest part of going in to recieve treatment was looking and talking to the children who were there because of cancer and their treatments, I had to try and hold back my tears in front of these brave little children every time I saw them. Now I'm 6'5 and 260lbs. and used to be a street fighter. I don't think there is anything worse then going to the hospital and finding out that one of these children who i would talk to has passed away from this illness. I would of graciously given my life to any of these great brave little children. I broke down crying the first time this happened. God saved me from this illness so far and we need to contribute so much more to these children so they have the God given right to live their lives. Thank you Dee for standing up for these beautiful little children.
I love that version of the song, Dee's voice is so full of emotion and powerful. But the video never fails to make me cry. It's even worse when you're a dad! My heart goes out to anyone who had to fight that horrible disease or suffer the loss of a close one to it. As another metal legend said: "You've got the power. Stand up and shout." Stay strong.
It also makes us think who's getting blamed for our suffering, humanity or God. The latter of which we cannot oppose or negotiate with. We are, after all, his subjects. And those who goes to Him at a young age are still innocent.
My son is a cancer survivor. God bless you Dee for bringing more awareness to childhood cancer. Still only 4 percent of all funding goes to childhood cancer research. My son was 9 and is now 22. Please donate it help save our children.
I salute you Mr. Dee Schneider for your beautiful song and your mission to bring awareness to the pediatric cancer patients, their families and the community. I also am grateful for your commitment to the late Harry Chapin’s charitable organization in helping to Feed the hungry in Long Island. You’re an amazing and generous and gifted musician. Thank you to your pianist and crew too.
He was hardcore in the 80’s and 90’s . . . And this is just another level! No flashy lights, no dramatic solo, just singing the song to the world’s greatest enemy, Cancer. Dee is fearless!
This to me is proof that people can say 'shouty music is bad'... and have no idea, that the artist is still.. a musician. Dee nails everything he sings.
I am writing this comment in the hospital. I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer after last Thanksgiving. Still in the early stages and can be defeated. Currently going through chemo and radiation therapy to hopefully shrink it down. The war started February 6, 2024. I got this. One day at a time.
my daughter died from brain cancer 3yrs ago today the week before her 2nd birthday the original song and music video was one of my favorites growing up in an abusive family it validated me so discovering this version just now after the what i've been through feels destined and gives it a whole new meaning so yeah gonna go cry for eternity
I'm so sorry for your loss... I don't know you nor what you believe in but I'm sure your daughter put this video on your path to show you she's still there with you everyday even if it's not in the same way as she was before❤️🩹Just know that she's always by your side and I hope you somehow felt a litlte bit of comfort reading my comment❤️🩹
I lost my wife from cancer 2 years ago. She was 41 years old. For me and the kids was so hard now I have to rise 4 little kids and I doing my best. Thanks for this great version of the song
@JohnBelz Is not about shaving heads you fuck head, its about the meaning of people fighiting against Cancer and many others diseases and if you dont like this GTFO.
I'm a cancer serviver .doctors gave me 6 months to live after the operation and well its almost 15 years now. Let's all stand up and fight this together. Dee Snider thanks. It's this song that got me thought.
Dee Snider, man you made me cry, I remembered my father from the fights we went through, unfortunately he was defeated, but "We're Not Gonna Take It" Congratulations beautiful message!!!!!!
1984 performance: Comic stance against an overcontrolling Father. 2016 performance: Emotional and powerful cry against childhood Cancer. Crazy how the same words can hold a heavy weight the 2nd time around.
I grew up on Long Island New york in the 80s seeing bands like Twisted Sister, Zebra in the smallest venues. It is so great to see these bands still doing it 40 years later. Beautiful rendition of the song for a great cause.
My son (13) was diagnosed with bone cancer in January. He won the MTB state championship....and then four months after the diagnosis had his right leg amputated. When I was his age this was the first album I had ever purchased. Never would I have imagined.
So much emotion. I lost it when the clippers came in for the first cut. Dee Snider has my eternal respect. As does the mother who has her head shaved so her child will not feel alone. It's a powerful message.
I understood this song the first time I heard it. Not that long ago to be honest. But this version, and the raw emotion in his voice is beautiful. I found this on the end of a podcast a few weeks ago. I can't even remember what the podcast was, but I don't think I'll forget this so quickly.
In the year 2000 I was 2 years old I was in a car accident and I died for 7 minutes and the Doctors didn’t think I was going to stay alive because I was in a coma and they didn’t worry about this other bump on my brain but a month later I came out and was alive. I spent learning most things again because I needed to and after learning everything it turned out I had epilepsy and I got a Brain surgery for that but that time they told me I get that looked at and the doctor said it was a really bad cancer brain tumor that if I didn’t go in that day I would’ve only had a week left to live and they played this exact song and I had to stay awake during the surgery and I was trying to sing it but just I started crying because with you Dee I new I could so thank you not only to my Doctors, family, friends but also to you Dee Snider ❤
This song, is more than wonderful everytime i hear it, rock, piano, marriachi, or whatever. DEE, I'm from France, and you will always amaze me. Keep the Faith.
My name is Daniel danno to my friends I lost my right testicular to an accident only to be told during I had a peace of skin removed from my backside only to be told that I had agressive rectal cancer then lost my other testie then went threw 10 months of kemo and radiation therapy and 11 weeks after that I had a 10 and a half hr surgery which they thought I'd never cum out of considering the the toumur was so close to my vital argans .for me hearing Dee snider sing this song for all of the cancer patients all around the world it sertanly made me she'd a few tears he has a true heart of gold and is one of the most talented musicians God ever put on this planet cos he and his music is a part of my growing up and life .So once again Dee thank u from the bottom of my heart ❤ for singing this song I hope it wakes a few people up just how much of a silent killer this deaseas it really is .gob bless u mister Snider 🙏
First, Dee has kept himself in great shape! Second, I never knew he had pipes! Not like this at least. Third, what a performance! Tears are running down my face. How can anyone vote this down?
I found this by accident during an evening of nostalgia. I wanted to share the music of my youth with my daughter. Twisted Sister helped me survive an abusive childhood. The confidence this song inspired stuck with me through my daughters health issues even if the actual song was a distant memory. Nothing hurts worse than watching strangers carry your child away while hoping desperately they can return her in better health. The helplessness is soul crushing. If only we could trade places, if only there was a god who could shift the punishment to me, I earned it, and spare my innocent child... If only, if only... I had to watch this video three times before I could make it to the end. I'm lucky, my child survived and thrived. I agonize with those who weren't so lucky. Thank you Dee Snider and Criss Angel for reminding us lucky ones we are lucky, for giving a voice to those in too much pain to speak. Please, if you can, donate. Time. Money. Sympathy. A hug. Any help is appreciated more than you can imagine.
Thankfully, there will be no more disease and suffering at the resurrection at the end of the age. Eternal life awaits those who trust the sacrifice of Jesus. The fires of hell won't destroy those who hold to Jesus finished sacrifice. Death, evil and all bad things will be burned up by God's holy fire in Gehenna(hell). This is good news.
Wow this is beautiful. I was terminally ill as a child and i live with disabilities after many operations to save my life and in the end it was one big close call. I met and made friends with people who had cancer and other life threatening conditions we used to play this song and other cool tunes in our room in hospital together we sort of formed a friendship group over our conditions. Although not all of them are still with us sadly we have thrown a party every time one of us has been cleared of our illness this means a lot for me to see thank you Dee. And the good news is i got a phone call last week and there's another party coming up.
The amount of respect I have for both Dee and Criss is beyond words. This is both beautiful and powerful and brought tears to my eyes. Great song made even better by a slight change in the message.
This is a GREAT version of the song. My mom and I loved this song 'well the original version anyway". She just passed away at the end of "Sep" and she never got to hear this version but she would have loved it if she did! Hearing we're not going to take it like this really puts a whole new meaning and fell on it since she passed away. It's an incredibly deep powerful spiritual vibe that I get from it now and it was never that way when she was alive.
When I first heard this I was so moved. then when I seen the video I was taken back. My heart goes out to all who have been effected by such tragedy. I agree that we must do something we need to be more diligent when spending time with family. A hug, a hour a week maybe a day month spend with a close one. The heart cleanses the soul. True Love will never grow old.
Stay Hungry was the very first Rock Album that I owned at 12 years of age. This version of that song and especially the video brought me to tears. Your not a human being if it doesn't choke you up! May Jesus Christ heal all those who suffer from cancer......AMEN!! Awesome work Dee!
It's the same right hand two finger chord for both songs. For the left hand fingerings Journey's follows Ross Valory's famous bass line while this song does something different on the lower keys with its left hand.
I'm crying like a baby, I've never saw this clip before .... thanks for this song both of you!! I send strenght to whom are fighting the battles or who are standing still, and send peace to we've fought it. (Sorry for my broken english) Don't give up, life is just ups and downs, but it's beautifull... I tell it to you, nail itwith all your strenght even when you fell you are loosing.
How does this only have 1.6M views?!?! I think it is a true testament to the power of music that a head banger from the mid-80s can now bring us to tears.
Thank you Sir for doing this. Thank you both. What a great version of this classic. My 11 year old son passed away from childhood cancer. Thank you for using your gifts to shine a light on this issue.
My mum was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer it was tough i felt helpless to help her this song helped me stay strong for her. She lost her battle with cancer on Dec 5 2009 .love u girl i still miss her 😔❤🙏 thank u Dee ❤
My big brother had Twisted Sister LP "Come out and play" and about 9 years old me loved especially the album art. This song works as good as original version. And even more as a father of cancer survivor.
I loved it since the first time it became popular . Specially for the brave words that inspire you to stop the bulling and makes you stronger to be strong too.
If I could thumbs up this video a thousand times I would. I have tears just pouring out right now. My cousin fought cancer when she was young. Thankfully she survived, but I feel so bad for those who don’t. ❤
I remember hanging out with my friends and singing along 30 yrs ago. The song was ahead of its time - either that or we never changed and took everything at face value like suckers.
😢 When I heard this again. And I've heard this song many times this time I cried. Not only for the children that need help. But our country has a cancer. That is. Destroying it currently. And unless we do something about it.....😢 What hope is there for the children of tomorrow?😢
if you had told me 40 years ago that "we're not gonna taker it" is gonna start rippin tears outa me I'd have called you insane, yet here we are...
Best comment at all
Imagine if he had done this still wearing the original outfit from the music video. Ha would of made me cry anyways lol
Me too
Do you also cry when a baby is aborted?
Get outta my head....right there with ya..
This version of the song got me through my mother's battle with cancer, which she ultimately lost in Oct 2018. Tonight is the 1st time Ive listened to it in 5 yrs. Thanks Dee.
im sorry for your loss
So sorry for your loss. 🙏
I am so sorry. I’ve lost loved ones to cancer.
Im sorry for your loss, respect to you and your family bro
Well said friend-I’d almost forgotten this till my mum waas diagnosed
My son was diagnosed with cancer at 3 years old and it was devastating… he will be 34 in April 👍
❤❤😂
Minha mãe morreu umes

Sometimes, we all need to be reminded of how lucky we are. I can't imagine how I'd feel if my kid was in that position, and I thank God that I can't. It's too much for any person.
congratulations awesome to hear

Because our country can't be bothered...

i never realized how timeless this song really is.
This song will never die. This song is endless.
Thank you Dee Snider.
it just makes you feel good inside
That song is about good vs evil in a deeper way... I love it because it gives me faith, it's like if I see Jesus trough this song
@@dmtm ax
I never realized how powerful these lyrics are until now.
Perfect Vocal... perfect driver in voice!!! Hugs directly from Ilhabela!!!

A hug for you....from the United States of Rock n Roll !!! 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
This is a master piece of the metal rock were not gonna take it and Dee Snyder still singing it strong

as as cancer survivor myself (a small skin tumor counts), I couldn't agree more.

Dee Snider's a metal legend. Love this version of a metal classic
Truly a gem
So do I!
So powerful. So heartfelt. This acoustic version kicks ass. I've always enjoyed this song and this version gives it new meaning
Dee Snider took his own legendary 80s rock anthem and made it even more epic.
He was hardcore in the 80’s and 90’s . . . And this is just another level!
No flashy lights, no dramatic solo, just singing the song to the world’s greatest enemy, Cancer.
Dee is fearless!
Jesus is on His side when He's singing about Children and their fight against cancer. Powerful.
He used to be fearless and on another level, now they sold out to commercials and to mainstream. Weak at best now. All he prays for is more money
And That Domestic Enemy Donald John Trump.
This to me is proof that people can say 'shouty music is bad'... and have no idea, that the artist is still.. a musician. Dee nails everything he sings.
@@LittleJoeTheMoonlightCat You just had to bring it there, didn't you?
I am writing this comment in the hospital. I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer after last Thanksgiving. Still in the early stages and can be defeated. Currently going through chemo and radiation therapy to hopefully shrink it down. The war started February 6, 2024.
I got this. One day at a time.
All the best to you. You ain't gotta take it.
I stand with you man
Fight hard my friend, thinking of you from Tasmania Australia
I never thought this song would bring me to tears.
ikr. no matter how many times i watch it which is a lot i get teary eyed or more everytime
Me too, so where is the video dedicated to unnecessary covid Deaths thanks to the fascist liberal regime?
I agree, for me was exactly the same!!!!
I'm agree.... A Masterpiece becomes something more relevant. Dee is a genius. Also Criss Angel
Cancer must be terminated for good
Makes me cry as well
my daughter died from brain cancer 3yrs ago today the week before her 2nd birthday the original song and music video was one of my favorites growing up in an abusive family it validated me so discovering this version just now after the what i've been through feels destined and gives it a whole new meaning so yeah gonna go cry for eternity

My deepest condolences and sympathies. God bless her.
Don’t fuck with Dee. I’m 57 yrs old as he’s been sticking up for me since high school.❤️
...Since grade 6 here. Now I follow his footsteps and stick up for everyone else. We all need to be like Dee.
Yes. I agree . Me too. But sadly he chose the wrong side. Maybe he will realize that and we all can be working together
Me too in the high school time here i'm México City !!!
I’m so happy to hear that!
Can not believe this video is not viral, so powerful!
@JohnBelz Is not about shaving heads you fuck head, its about the meaning of people fighiting against Cancer and many others diseases and if you dont like this GTFO.
I'm a cancer serviver .doctors gave me 6 months to live after the operation and well its almost 15 years now. Let's all stand up and fight this together. Dee Snider thanks. It's this song that got me thought.
❤
As a sarcoma survivor, and as the son of a breast cancer survivor, this song totally hits deep... You rule, Dee
Dee Snider, man you made me cry, I remembered my father from the fights we went through, unfortunately he was defeated, but "We're Not Gonna Take It" Congratulations beautiful message!!!!!!
1984 performance: Comic stance against an overcontrolling Father.
2016 performance: Emotional and powerful cry against childhood Cancer.
Crazy how the same words can hold a heavy weight the 2nd time around.
I’m not for rebelling against parents but if Doug Neidermeyer were your dad, you got a case
I grew up on Long Island New york in the 80s seeing bands like Twisted Sister, Zebra in the smallest venues. It is so great to see these bands still doing it 40 years later. Beautiful rendition of the song for a great cause.
Mom was diagnosed on Friday. One of the anthems of my youth and now takes on a whole other importance. Thank you DS!
hey dude. How it was? Everything fine?
My son (13) was diagnosed with bone cancer in January. He won the MTB state championship....and then four months after the diagnosis had his right leg amputated. When I was his age this was the first album I had ever purchased. Never would I have imagined.
Keep strong ❤❤
Goose bumps and tears at the same time. Thank U so much for this Dee.
So much emotion. I lost it when the clippers came in for the first cut.
Dee Snider has my eternal respect. As does the mother who has her head shaved so her child will not feel alone. It's a powerful message.
Anyone who can watch this without tears, is not human. 😢
My wife is now struggling with Kidney failure. This song puts tears in my eyes
Sorry to hear that. I hope she gets better.
I hope she’ll be alright. I’ll be saying a prayer for her.
Truly nothing less than - an absolutely beautiful version - of a great song.
May God bless Chris and Dee, and all of those who are facing this fight.
This brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear this. Mr. Snider, I salute you. What a great person, what a huge heart.
Amazing clip and message, and his voice is absolutely extraordinary I can not find words for that. Thank you Dee Snider...
I've heard this version hundreds of times and it still brings me to tears. ❤💖💞💝
Never thought this song would make me tear up, but here we are.
Indeed my good man
Two years post cancer, this bought tears to my eyes.
I have an ever growing appreciation for this song

I love almost anything acoustic and this did not disappoint. Dee Snyder's powerful voice really shone through. In other words, it totally rocked.
Thanks Dee for singing this song for those who are fighting battles with cancer. Way awesome
I love how powerful his voice sounds on this version! Its amazing how great Dee sounds to this day! Dee, Dio and Freddie are my favourite singers ^_^
This song, is more than wonderful everytime i hear it, rock, piano, marriachi, or whatever. DEE, I'm from France, and you will always amaze me. Keep the Faith.

🤦♂️ he was the LEAD SINGER for twisted sister. And you didn't know he had a good voice?
@@damionw9740 Just like the silly people who didn't know Sully Erna or Disturbed's lead couldn't sing either LMFAO.

Any help is appreciated more than you can imagine.
My heart goes out to any family that has had to endure this horrible disease. Stay Strong
Taking that. Mom, sister, stepdad, aunt.
Aunt died, rest alive, yet limited due to surgery and other things.
Thankfully, there will be no more disease and suffering at the resurrection at the end of the age. Eternal life awaits those who trust the sacrifice of Jesus.

The piano in the beginning reminds me of Don't Stop Believing. Maybe it's the rhythm of it. Awesome rendition of this classic. DEE!!!💪
It's the same right hand two finger chord for both songs. For the left hand fingerings Journey's follows Ross Valory's famous bass line while this song does something different on the lower keys with its left hand.
Good on u Dee for caring u have heart 😊
I'm crying like a baby, I've never saw this clip before .... thanks for this song both of you!! I send strenght to whom are fighting the battles or who are standing still, and send peace to we've fought it. (Sorry for my broken english) Don't give up, life is just ups and downs, but it's beautifull... I tell it to you, nail itwith all your strenght even when you fell you are loosing.
One more time, we need this chant going forward.
beautiful version and ty Dee for everything you have done.
How does this only have 1.6M views?!?! I think it is a true testament to the power of music that a head banger from the mid-80s can now bring us to tears.
Dee Snider... An impressive voice, too much rage becomes love... What else
Thank you Sir for doing this. Thank you both. What a great version of this classic. My 11 year old son passed away from childhood cancer. Thank you for using your gifts to shine a light on this issue.
Maravillosa versión... Imposible no llorar con todo lo que transmite ...
Thank you Kind Sir for your music. God bless you and your family and your friends and your viewers. Peace out
Great version of this classic metal anthem. Twisted sister were icons to me in my teenage years . Glad to see Dee Snider still kicking butt.
My mum was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer it was tough i felt helpless to help her this song helped me stay strong for her. She lost her battle with cancer on Dec 5 2009 .love u girl i still miss her 😔❤🙏 thank u Dee ❤

I’ve always loved this song but this is beautiful! Brought tears to my eyes! You’re the man Dee!!!
Love this version Dee. Thank You
God bless you Dee , once again you brought me to tears
What a powerful voice and performance
My big brother had Twisted Sister LP "Come out and play" and about 9 years old me loved especially the album art. This song works as good as original version. And even more as a father of cancer survivor.
Su voz no ha cambiado nada. Sigue igual de fuerte y melodiosa.
Dee this is a most beautiful display of passion, in the fight with you as I now have 3 grandchildren
Came from TikTok. Amazing version. Thank you Deeman.
Thank you Mr Snyder .First hear this when i was 10 . But this song now has deep meaning. I salute you
I loved it since the first time it became popular . Specially for the brave words that inspire you to stop the bulling and makes you stronger to be strong too.
All the best for all the children of the world ❤
Thank you Dee.
can't stop fucking crying every single time I see this, good deed, Dee
If I could thumbs up this video a thousand times I would. I have tears just pouring out right now. My cousin fought cancer when she was young. Thankfully she survived, but I feel so bad for those who don’t. ❤
The most beautiful video i think ive ever seen. Teary eyed and speechless
From to argentina love song ❤
Mai heart cry 😢❤❤ from to argentina love song
I remember hanging out with my friends and singing along 30 yrs ago. The song was ahead of its time - either that or we never changed and took everything at face value like suckers.
Love this version outstanding❤❤
This gift can sing in so many ways, from not just hard rock but piano
An amazing version of the song and giving it a whole new meaning....
😢 When I heard this again.
And I've heard this song many times this time I cried.
Not only for the children that need help.
But our country has a cancer. That is.
Destroying it currently.
And unless we do something about it.....😢 What hope is there for the children of tomorrow?😢
Mr. Snider, I've always loved this song, but now, even more! Thank you sir!
