DEE SNIDER (on Reality TV, Beyonce, Drag Race, Twisted Sister & Being a Rock Legend)

Dee Snider steps Behind The Rope. Dee chats about what it was like to front Twisted Sister, one of the biggest Metal bands to emerge from the 80s and have two of the biggest Rock Anthems of all time, “We’re Not Gonna Take It” and “I Wanna Rock”. Dee gives his nod of approval for current music and chats Beyonce, Katy Perry, Pink and Christina Aguilera and one epic Diva who does not make the list. Dee talks the rock star lifestyle, taking on Tipper Gore and The PMRC, being the first “Drag Queen” a la heels, rouge and heavy eye makeup before it was “en vogue”, accepted or Drag Race was even a mere thought and why certain artists like Lady Gaga should, and probably would, pay homage to “the first”, and why Twisted Sister is not in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Finally Dee talks reality TV - Growing Up Twisted, Celebrity Apprentice and his recent star turn as “Doll” on The Masked Singer. @deesnider @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope BROUGHT TO YOU BY: GREENPAN - greenPan.us (Use Code VELVET For 30% Off Your Entire Order Plus Free Shipping On Orders Over $99)  INDEED - indeed.com/velvet (Start Hiring Now.
