In a new interview on 'A Discussion With Dean Cramer', Twisted Sister guitarist Jay Jay French spoke about record labels' reputation as crooks who rip off artists at every turn. He said: "Rock and roll, let me be clear, is a criminal enterprise. The record labels are criminals. It's simple as that. They're just legal criminals. So when you're in a cesspool of criminality, whether it's obvious criminality, in other words, whether it's blue-collar criminality where someone is threatening your life with a gun or it's white-collar criminality, you're dealing with criminals. So you're dealing with the sleaze, the lowlives, the lying. You don't believe any of this shit 'cause everyone lies. So you kind of have to get used to it."
