In May of 2009 The 25th anniversary of Stay Hungry would arrive. I knew that in two years a milestone was approaching. Maybe we just weren’t seeing it and, more importantly, hearing it through the eyes of the fans who had spent the last 23 years with their ears tuned in to the sound of the original record. Maybe, as band members, we were just too close to the whole thing.

While talking to our fans in Canada, it struck me how many still preferred the original Stay Hungry. We had just released our re-recorded version of it called Still Hungry.
