Fate Taking Over for Some Rockers

Many times a rock and roller plays out his hand, grabs all the money, fame and fortune while the iron is hot, then settles into obscurity not yearning for a reunion tour or new songs. Then fate steps in.

A clear example of karma is the GEICO commercial featuring the Scorpions with their “The Final Countdown” tune, selling Scorpions songs and spurring a reunion. Now, Madison Avenue has changed the course of rock again with the use of the Twisted Sister tune “We’re Not Gonna Take It,” including a cameo appearance of Dee Snider at the end of the commercial.

Now Dee Snyder is going back to the studio to record new music, including the hit song “We’re Not Gonna Take It,” in the recent Extended Stay America, a long term hotel chain.
