Dee Snider: In January of 1984 I asked my wife, Suzette, to draw a quick “mock-up” of an idea I had for a Twisted Sister “bone logo” that I could show to the art department. She grabbed a pen and a piece of typing paper and banged this out in 5 minutes. 38 years later you tell me the difference (besides added color) between her mock-up and what is still used on everything Twisted today… And she was never paid a dime!!
Suzette’s “Mock-Up”
Dee Snider: Since the “Stand” video was originally released, the war in Ukraine broke out. The lyrics, which had nothing to do with war, seemed to speak directly to the invasion, so we recut it. PLEASE WATCH @ THIS LOCATION.
Dee Snider: PLEASE WATCH AND SHARE! THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT VIDEO MESSAGE I EVER MADE!
Dee Snider: Pretty incredible night last night. Had dinner with a personal hero and inspiration Arnold Schwarzenegger! When the cameras came out he said, “Let’s do The Predator pose!” #lifegoals
I’m here in Columbus, Ohio at @ArnoldSports Festival as a guest of @Schwarzenegger HIMSELF! He heard his book “Arnold: The Education of a Bodybuilder” guided my career, how the “Stay Hungry” album was all inspired by his words, & asked me to join him & play a few songs! #honor

Dee Snider: So Donnie Wahlberg tracked me down and called me to make sure I was cool with them doing this. I have no problem with it.

Dee Snider: WARNING!! While online & publicly Disneyland claims strict enforcement of Covid protocols, AT THE PARK THEY ARE DOING NOTHING TO ENFORCE OR PROTECT PEOPLE! My wife & daughter took our grandkids to the park last week & BROUGHT COVID INTO OUR HOME!! STAY AWAY FROM DISNEY!!
ATTENTION EVERYONE: @Disneyland IS SAYING THEY ARE LIMITING ATTENDANCE AND INSISTING PEOPLE BE TESTED AND/OR VACCINATED. YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THE TICKETS IN ADVANCE (NON REFUNDABLE) AND DON'T FIND OUT THAT THEY ARE NOT ENFORCING PROTOCOLS UNTIL YOU ENTER AND IT IS TOO LATE!! https://t.co/GyNDzd5zNH
— Dee Snider🇺🇸 (@deesnider) July 26, 2021
When you go on the @Disneyland website the tell you they are limiting attendance and you must be tested or vaccinated. When you get there no one checks or enforces THEIR posted rules and the park is PACKED. An hour plus wait for every ride! That's bullshit! https://t.co/WGhFDJHn2j
— Dee Snider🇺🇸 (@deesnider) July 26, 2021
Agreed. But it's tough to turn around when @Disneyland tells you all these protocols are in place, you spend $1,000 on tickets in advance, & you don't find out it's bull shit until you are inside the park & your grandchildren are losing their minds cause Minny is waving at them. https://t.co/GrWtrjVZCT

FOR ALL WHO READ I GOT COVID…I'm fully vaccinated so my symptoms were minor. Advil and Sudafed totally managed them. Didn't miss a beat business wise (did 10 interviews on first day I got it). All symptoms gone in three days. I feel totally fine now. GET THE DAMN VACCINATION!

Dee Snider: HALLELUJAH!! Just found out that the copyright infringement of “We’re Not Gonna Take It” by “politician” Clive Palmer in Australia has been decided MAJORLY in favor of myself as writer and Universal Music Group as publishers! WE’RE NOT GONNA TAKE COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT ANY MORE!!
Clive Palmer has been ordered to pay $1.5 million in damages for copyright infringement over his political rendition of the metal track We’re Not Gonna Take It.
The businessman and former politician was sued by Universal Music after he used rewritten lyrics in a version of the Twisted Sister song in saturation advertising for his United Australia Party (UAP) in 2019. –READ MORE

Had no idea why there was a bounce in my step and a song on my lips this morning – and then I found out the great @deesnider had indeed delivered what he promised – in court he slayed, put @CliveFPalmer under the blade, and now he gets paid! 🤟https://t.co/XmvunQ6oi0

I wish they'd stop reporting that he is a politician. He's a billionaire miner that wants to use politics to make his mining companies more profitable. pic.twitter.com/uZIRK0ZAsL

Rudy Sarzo: There’s a Leslie West tribute album in the works with an illustrious list of musicians. I’m just honored to be a part of it. 🙏🏻🎸🙏🏻
It’s always a blessing to revisit my diversified musical roots with gratitude. Wait until you hear our (Rudy Sarzo, Eddie Ojeda, Dee Snider, Mike Portnoy) tribute to Leslie West – “Theme from an Imaginary Western.”
Dee Snider: In memory of the “Sound of Thunder” AJ Pero. I had trouble singing this one that night. I wonder why…
