Tipper Gore and the Battle for Music Warning Labels

In 1985, Dee Snider of Twisted Sister testified before Congress against the PMRC's push for explicit content warning labels on albums, which eventually led to the 'Parental Advisory' stickers.

Dee Snider Takes a Stand Against Cancel Culture and Transphobia Accusations

Dee Snider, former front man of Twisted Sister, spoke to Fox News Digital about his new novel "Frats" and standing up to cancel culture. The book is based on true events from Snider's life growing up in Long Island, New York, and follows a young boy navigating high school fraternities. Snider implored others to stand strong in the face of cancel culture and not apologize if they did nothing wrong. He cited the example of KISS singer Paul Stanley, who recanted his statement opposing gender-affirming care for minors after facing backlash. Snider declared his commitment to standing up for his beliefs and not caving to pressure.

Dee Snider: Catalog Sale, Transphobe Slur, and Twisted Sister Reunion

Dee Snider, the frontman of Twisted Sister, explained why he sold his Snidest Music music publishing catalog of 69 songs, including "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock", to Universal Music Publishing Group in 2015. Snider said that selling his catalog was a smart financial decision because he was able to save 30% on taxes and invest the money for his retirement. "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock" are the two most licensed songs of the '80s and have been featured in numerous national commercials, films, television, and the Broadway musical "Rock Of Ages".
