Is there really no Dee Snider thread?

We're not gonna take it!

Always hated twisted sister.

But secretly loved that song.

I always thought that was kind of a bubble gum pop-ish tune. But I’ve got a whole new appreciation for it after hearing CJH break it down.
If you’ve never heard this podcast, I highly recommend it.

TS opened for a couple shows I went to back in the 80's. Y&T & Iron Maiden pretty sure. They put on a good show for sure. TS was street level at their core. The makeup n shit probably helped get them noticed, but may have have been their undoing in the long run. But KISS, yada yada. jmo Have a doc on their early days on my Prime list to watch.

The Twisted Sister documentary is worth watching IMHO.

Growing up on Long Island I got to see them a lot before they got popular with MTV, they were actually a pretty good rock & roll band once you got past the New York Dolls/glam rock costumes. In the 70's they played every local bar they could and worked several nights a week always with a packed house, while not my first choice in music I enjoyed them in high school. I remember a couple friends were visiting my sister in LA in the early 80's and ran into Dee, he added them as extras in one of the early videos. Dee's wife Suzette worked as a trainer at a local gym, I don't know how much she knew but she looked great and was pretty popular.

This doc about them is really good.
I am not a fan by any stretch, but I stumbled upon this film one night and was thoroughly enthralled.
They were the ultimate underdog band who could never get a break.
Fucking Lemmy from Motorhead was a fan!

Highly recommended regardless of whether or not you like their music; it is just a fascinating behind the scenes look at a band who refused to give up.

Literally ran into Dee Snider at CDG in June 2014ish. I was late to the gate and was hurrying. I came down the escalator, made a 180 at the bottom. Dee was jumping around, and jumped right into me (or I ran into him). We both laughed and exchanged wise crack remarks. My daughter was like, “”what a weird looking Dood.”
