The legendary Deperado cd. After the demise of Twisted Sister, Dee Snider went on to start the "Desperado" project in 1989. Snider, teaming up with ex-Gillan guitarist Bernie Torme, ex-Iron Maiden drummer Clive Burr and bassist Marc Russell to create an album for Elektra Records. Ready for release in '89, Elektra decided to shelve the album about two weeks before the initial unveiling. This is a direct quote from Bernie Tormé's site: "Well, it took years out of all our lives, though for me 99.9% was pure pleasure. It was a great album, great singer, great band, but unfortunately for us, a shit record company. Hey, its just my opinion." I'd have to agree. This is a great commercial metal album, sounding much like a follow-up to "Love is for Suckers". After listening only twice I can't even fathom what the record company was thinking. Perhaps the "big hit" wasn't there. I don't know, I'm just glad it finally was released. Never heard of the record company that finally did release this disc. There is no copyright information, so I can only assume that this was finally released by one of the band members, most likely Dee Snider. "Emaheevul," "Gone Bad," "Calling For You," and "Ride Through The Storm" have all reappeared on other Dee Snider projects. "Heart of Saturday Night" is a Tom Waite cover. This disc sells for around $25-$30 on eBay.
