1984 One-Hit Wonder Named One of the 'Greatest Hair Metal Anthems' Of All Time ...Saudi Arabia

According to Snider, he knew the heavy metal anthem was destined to be a hit as soon as he finished writing it.

The song quickly began climbing the charts after being added to the playlists on dozens of radio stations before its release. "We're Not Gonna Take It" peaked at No. 21 on the Billboard Hot 100 list

"I very deliberately left it as vague as possible," Snider explained. "That led to a review in the Village Voice: ‘Take what from whom?’ What a smug idiot. The song’s whole point is for the listener to fill in the blanks. Voice your own personal grievance. For a teenager, it was parents, a teacher or a boss. For me, it was everything… including the rejection we had suffered from record companies."

"'We’re Not Gonna Take It' not only transcended the genre and the band, but also the era," Snider continued. "If I sing: ‘We’re not gonna take it’ anywhere in the world, I know that the response will be: ‘No, we ain’t gonna take it.’ There’s not a doubt in my mind that when I’m gone, that song will live on forever."
