You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 52.91.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:26, 2 September 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Come Out and Play''''' is the fourth studio album by American [[Heavy metal music|heavy metal]] band [[Twisted Sister]], released by [[Atlantic Records]] on November 22, 1985. The album was significantly less successful than its predecessor ''[[Stay Hungry (Twisted Sister album)|Stay Hungry]]'' (1984), both critically and commercially, although it achieved Gold status by selling more than 500,000 copies.<ref name="RIAA">((cite web |url=https://www.riaa.com/gold-platinum/?tab_active=default-award&se=twisted+sister#search_section |title=RIAA Searchable Database: search for Twisted Sister |publisher=[[Recording Industry Association of America]] |accessdate=October 29, 2016 ))</ref>

==Overview==
Following the massive success of 1984's ''[[Stay Hungry (album)|Stay Hungry]]'' which established Twisted Sister as one of the world's top recording acts, the band was faced with the question of whether they should continue in the same [[MTV]] and radio-friendly direction that brought them so much success, or return to their heavy metal roots. ''Come Out and Play'' saw them attempt to do both, but the approach ultimately proved devastatingly unsuccessful and the album marked the beginning of the band's commercial decline. 

The band's decision to record a cover of the 1964 [[The Shangri-Las|Shangri-Las]]' hit "[[Leader of the Pack]]" and release it as the album's first single proved very unpopular with the band's fanbase. Ultimately, neither "Leader of the Pack" nor second single "Be Chrool To Your Scuel" (featuring guest appearances from artists such as [[Alice Cooper]], [[Brian Setzer]], [[Clarence Clemons]] and [[Billy Joel]]) came close to matching the success of "[[We're Not Gonna Take It (Twisted Sister song)|We're Not Gonna Take It]]" or "[[I Wanna Rock]]" from 1984's ''Stay Hungry''.

The 1986 world tour in support of ''Come Out and Play'' was a fiasco, marked by low attendance and ticket sales so low in some cities that several shows were simply canceled. Longtime drummer [[A.J. Pero]] left the band following the tour in 1986, contributing to the chaos which eventually saw Twisted Sister disband in 1988.

The [[music video]]s for "Leader of the Pack" and "Be Chrool to Your School" followed the same comedic formula which had been so successful for the band in the ''Stay Hungry'' era. The latter single, featuring a prominent guest spot by [[Dee Snider]]'s hero Alice Cooper, was banned by [[MTV]] on the grounds that it was offensive. The band didn't produce a video for the album's second and final US single, "[[You Want What We Got]]".

In 1986 the band released the ''Come Out and Play: The Videos'' home video on [[VHS]], which included four videos ("We're Not Gonna Take It", "I Wanna Rock", "Leader of the Pack" and "Be Chrool to Your Scuel") tied together by scenes of Snider in a scrapyard being visited by troubled teens seeking advice, to the tune of the song "Come Out and Play". This home video has never been re-issued on [[DVD]].

The intro to the title track features an homage to the 1979 cult classic movie ''[[The Warriors (film)|The Warriors]]'', in which the main villain, Luther, chants "Warriors, come out to play".
