On November 9, 1985, the band released its fourth studio album, Come Out and Play , produced by Dieter Dierks . It was not nearly as successful as its predecessor, although it did earn the band a gold certification for sales of 500,000 copies. Some speculate that the failure was partly due to MTV choosing not to air the video for ” Be Chrool to Your Scuel ” on the grounds that it was graphically offensive. The song featured such guests as Alice Cooper (who also stars in the video), Brian Setzer , Clarence Clemons and Billy Joel . The tour supporting the album was a near fiasco, with low attendance and many cancelled dates. Not even Atlantic’s re-release of a remixed Under the Blade helped the band recover its popularity. Come Out and Play was one of the first CDs to go out of print.
