In recent years, debates about the fairness of allowing men to compete against women in sports and the morality of chemically and surgically castrating youth suffering from gender dysphoria have emerged as contentious topics in the United States. While trans activists maintain that allowing men to compete in women's sports and body mutilating surgeries are necessary "gender-affirming healthcare," more Americans are pushing back against the idea that the solution to this social contagion among the nation's youth is sterilization by way of puberty blockers, opposite-sex hormones and body disfiguring surgeries. Specifically, critics of policies allowing men to compete on women’s...

Twister Sister frontman Dee Snider aired his support for KISS singer and guitarist Paul Stanley’s controversial Sunday statement, which condemned normalizing gender reassignment surgery on children as a “sad and dangerous trend.” Stanley, 71, who co-founded the iconic rock n’ roll group formed in the 1970s, shared his thoughts on Twitter about minors being convinced to mutilate their body parts. His remarks sparked both backlash and praise as many states craft legislation surrounding so-called gender-affirming care. Snider, 68, who formed the iconic glam rock group Twister Sister in the 1970s, retweeted Stanley’s statement in applause, becoming the next American rockstar...

Rock star Dee Snider is no longer featured at the SF Pride Parade & Celebration. Snider was going to perform at the June event in San Francisco but the plug has officially been pulled, according to KRON4. What was the Twisted Sister star’s crime? The musician agreed with KISS rock star Paul Stanley that kids who believe they’re transgender shouldn’t get gender reassignment surgeries. In response to a statement from Stanley, Snider tweeted Monday, “You know what? There was a time where I ‘felt pretty’ too. Glad my parents didn’t jump to any rash conclusions!” That tweet cost him his...

In an ironic twist, San Francisco Pride’s campaign to push back against transphobia, to be unveiled this week, has been disrupted by its own brush with transphobia. SF Pride was all set to make a big statement this week about anti-LGBTQ attacks by announcing that the battle cry for this year’s event would be the iconic Twisted Sister rock anthem, “We’re Not Gonna Take It.” Choosing the 1984 song was intended to show how the community was going to push back on the hundreds of pieces of anti-LGBTQ and anti-drag community legislation being passed around the country and the endless...

Twisted Sister’s Dee Snider okayed the use of the band’s music by gun control groups who are organizing a push to ban “assault weapons.” On Tuesday, Snider gave the okay in response to a Twitter user who is organizing the gun control push: He also gave the okay to a Twitter user who wants to use the song in conjunction with a Moms Demand Action gun control push: These tweets come one day after transgender shooter Aubrey Hale killed six people at a Christian school in Nashville. In other tweets, Snider noted that he keeps a .45 caliber pistol by...

Dee Snider took aim at former President Donald Trump’s supporters, claiming that “MAGAT FASCISTS” and others like them were the reason behind Twisted Sister’s iconic anthem “We’re Not Gonna Take It.” Snider alternated between all-caps and normal text in a tweet that mirrored the tone of the angry protest rock for which he is famous. --snip-- ATTENTION QANON, MAGAT FASCISTS: Every time you sing "We're Not Gonna Take It" remember it was written by a cross-dressing, libtard, tree hugging half-Jew who HATES everything you stand for. It was you and people like you that inspired every angry word of that...

Twisted Sister lead singer Dee Snider should be elated to find that someone is still interested in his band’s body of work, but instead, the rocker attacked Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake as a “fascist moron” after a pro-Lake Twitter account shared the lyrics to his 1984 song, “We’re Not Gonna Take It.” Snider responded to a Twitter account describing itself as Lake’s official campaign account, clarifying that the song is a pro-abortion anthem that specifically rallies around a woman’s right to kill her unborn child. “HEY IDIOTS! READ THE 1ST LINE: ‘We’ve got the right to CHOOSE!’ This is...

Twisted Sister rocker Dee Snider doesn’t want unvaccinated fans attending his concerts, saying the chance of making him sick with COVID-19 represents “an invasion of my privacy.” In an interview with Heavy Consequence, the 66-year-old Dee Snider expressed his support for vaccine mandates for concerts. He also used an expletive to warn off any fans who aren’t vaccinated. “Your chance of making me sick is an invasion of my privacy, so #### ###,” he said. “If you don’t like it, find your own band. Ted Nugent is out there somewhere. Kid Rock is welcoming you. … You don’t have a...

Legendary singer-songwriter and guitarist David Crosby has drawn the ire of VAN HALEN fans for seemingly minimizing the talents of recently deceased guitarist Eddie Van Halen.After a Twitter follower asked Crosby for his opinion of Eddie, David replied simply: "Meh ...." His bluntness was seen as out of line by a number of other Twitter users, including TESTAMENT guitarist Alex Skolnick, who chimed in: "I appreciate @thedavidcrosby too much for this to get in the way, but a much better answer would have been: 'I know he meant a lot to so many but his sound & style just weren't...

Dee Snider has slammed Republicans as "shameless liars" and has accused the Trump administration of "sucking up to communist dictators." Snider, who found himself in the middle of controversy in 2016 when he asked Donald Trump to stop using the 1984 TWISTED SISTER anthem "We're Not Gonna Take It" in his campaign, made the comments after one of his Twitter followers claimed that Republicans misrepresent Democrats' abortion views. Dee wrote: "The Republicans are not just liars. They are screaming, preening, bald faced, shameless liars who think that victory at all cost is acceptable as they are the 'moral majority.' THEY...

Twisted Sister singer Dee Snider took to social media to condemn anti-maskers who went into a Florida Target store blaring the group’s hit “We’re Not Gonna Take It" while ripping off their masks. In a tweet Wednesday, Snider called the stunt “moronic," and shared a viral video that was recorded by an upset customer inside the Target at Coral Ridge Mall in Fort Lauderdale. The video had more than 30 million views. Snider said the group doesn't have his “permission or blessing to use my song for their moronic cause."

Dee Snider has defended his "aggressive and intense" approach in dealing with "idiot Trump followers" on social media, saying that he is "trying to lead by example." The TWISTED SISTER frontman, who got to know President Donald Trump personally after appearing more than once on "The Celebrity Apprentice", has been an outspoken critic of America's 45th president, tweeting incessantly against Trump's administration and blasting the billionaire real estate mogul as "a commie-loving traitor" who is prostituting our democracy. He has also engaged in heated Twitter fights with Trump followers, some of whom have taken issue with his colorful delivery and...

The Twisted Sister frontman criticized Jennifer Lopez and Shakira for what he considered too sexy performances for the NFL’s family-friendly audience, and insisted a rock band would have brought a different vibe. “Beginning to pole humping, ass slapping, ass shaking end. If that’s the requirements for a half-time show, none of the rock bands I know can or will do that. #justsayin,” Snider tweeted Sunday night. Dee Snider ✔ @deesnider Beginning to pole humping, ass slapping, ass shaking end. If that's the requirements for a half-time...

And now what SERIOUS testimony before the U.S. Senate looks like:Dee Snider of heavy metal band Twisted Sister hands the senators their a$$es and puts Tipper Gore in her place.

No matter what you think of Dee Snider at the moment this is a somber version of their 'hit'.

Dee Snider isn't sure if he's going to take it anymore -- when it comes to his friend, Donald Trump, using his music. In light of Trump's proposal to ban Muslims from entering the United States, the Twisted Sister lead singer said that even though he told Trump a few months ago that he could use his song "We're Not Gonna Take It," he's starting to rethink that decision ... "My Donald Trump was a Democrat," he said. "My Donald Trump is pro-choice. My Donald Trump is what we call a Northeastern Republican, you know, fiscally conservative, socially liberal. But...

This quoting is a one-time break from FR tradition, but I think for this one article I will do it this way. Here is the quote from the singer: "He [Trump] called and he asked, which I appreciated. I said, 'Look, we don’t see eye to eye on everything—there are definitely issues that we’re far apart on' But thinking back to when I wrote the song and what the song is about, it's about rebellion, speaking your mind and fighting the system. If anybody's doing that, he sure is. Trump and Bernie Sanders are the two extremes. They're raising holy...

Donald Trump has been using an unlikely soundtrack at speeches and rallies for his presidential campaign: Twisted Sister's 1984 hit "We're Not Gonna Take It." When Paul Ryan tried using the same track during his 2012 campaign for the vice presidency, he drew a stern rebuke from Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider. So why does Trump—who is also running as a Republican—get away with the song usage? The rebellion anthem might seem better suited to a disaffected teenager than a 69-year-old billionaire making a bid for the White House, but Snider says he won't be calling foul this time. In...
