Dee Snider is absolutely brilliant. He went into the hearing and they expected a stoned idiot but they got one of the most well mannered and well spoken people that are in the industry. It was a sight to behold.
Dee Snyder was quite intelligent and articulate
You should show her Dee Snider and John Denver testifying before Congress in 1985 on proposed legislation to put warning labels on music. But make sure she hears the song Rocky Mountain High first to better understand Denver's testimony. A clip of Snider's comments on Denver's testimony is also priceless.
yes you should
I'll second that!!!
Completely agree. He owned Congress. He knew what he was talking about and he did it on his own terms. Hair all over the place. Denim instead of a suit. He schooled the lot of them.
P.S. show her that clip from National Lampoon's Animal House 😂😂😂
I was going to suggest the exact same thing Robert!! People mistake metalheads (or even hard rock) for "unthinking Grunts and Uggs " all the time and it is so very, very far from the truth. Simple fact of the matter, don't try to fight with a single Gen X'er, let alone a group of us, cause we're not gonna take it.
Came here to say the same thing, Dee is the man.
Someone once called the band "glam rock". Dee, in his infinite wisdom and humor, replied, "Glam rock means glamorous. We're not glamorous, we're hideous! We're hid rock!!"
Don’t forget to introduce Alexis to “Animal House” for the Dad/Neidermeyer comparison, as well as TS’s “I Wanna Rock”
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbour? 😁
@@flickeringboxofficial Hope your ironic. The germans? Really? 🤦♂️
@@meteerbil2078 Part of John Belushi's inspirational speech in the movie.
@@ddrake7169 Oh, okey. Dont remember but it like 40 years since i watched the movie
"Forget it----he's rolling....."
The 80s. The best decade of music videos. And the best f-ing music!!!
I was never into videos so you may be right about it being the best decade for them, but best decade for music, that's funny 🤓
Really wish I could go back to the 80s.I turned twenty and eighty t was by far my best decade
This was an ANTHEM from day 1 and it will ALWAYS be an ANTHEM till the end of time! Thank you Twisted Sister 🤘🏻🇬🇧🖤
When I wax a teen I worked as a dishwasher in a truckstop near the Ohio Pennsylvania State line. Twisted Sister came into the restaurant after a concert in Pittsburgh still made up for the stage. I heard one truck driver say to another. "What the he'll is that?" The other driver said, "That's some guys that made more money tonight than you and I will make in 10 years." Seemed like descent guys.
I remember watching these guys when they opened for Iron Maiden in Seattle. Someone kept throwing their boots at the bass player, he ignored at first but then started throwing them back at the crowd. 😊
The Twisted Sister pin on your uniform still cracks me up.
I bought a Twisted Sister pin, put it on my uniform, and sent a picture to my boss. Him being just a bit older than me, he immediately got the joke, and replied properly!!
The 80s were the best time for campiness. Having lived during that period I can say for certain that MVs such as the Twisted Sister did not raise any eyebrows at all. Guys in rock bands all had long, curly, messy hair, and many of them had mascaras as well. The song was great and that's all that was needed to make it a hit.
Their fun videos were loosely based on old Roadrunner-Coyote cartoons. Lots of fun. Great memories.
Yes they are!
Dee Snider got me through the mental abuse my father inflicted upon me. That song was my release, when I came home from spending time with my father I would put my 45 of that song on my stereo, crank it and sing along at the top of my lungs. So, thank you Dee for helping me get through the hard days in my life.
Got an autograph and a picture with Dee a few months ago what an awesome guy
What always comes to mind is when they had the cameo in Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure. I think it was the song “Burn In Hell” that they were making a video and here comes Pee-Wee, always cracks me up!!
I listened to Twisted Sister as a teen loved them then and still do. Dee's congressional testimony was off the chain have to check that out, he's one intelligent man. Alexis looks like you're about due to delivery your baby, bet your excited congratulations.
In about 1992, I had crimped my long hair and gone out to a local bar, and some guy walked up to me and told me that I looked like Dee Snyder. I never have figured out if it was a compliment or a put down! LOL! fun music and fun times!
The ultimate rebel anthem! Bar none. With a great amount of sarcasm and self-depreciation.
You can't stop rock and roll. We're not gonna take it. I wanna rock stay hungry, I can. Go on forever with how many cool songs you guys ought to check out. D Snyder's superstar lineup ban for his album for the love of metal warning. Every song has attitude and is 10 times heavier. Then twisted sisters material
You can’t unsee Dee Snyder!🎸🤘
I first heard this song on the movie "Iron Eagle" (RIP Louis Gossett, Jr.). I remember rocking to that song when it played on the movie.
Great reaction!! My sister got me into Twisted Sister when I was 6 (she was 19). She got this cassette, and I won't deny, I was more than intrigued at the cover art - this guy in makeup, black & pink spandex, chewing on a large bone! I was immediately taken with this song - played it ALL THE TIME! As I got more into the album, realized that this really isn't the best song on it! Tracks like Stay Hungry (title track), The Price, I Wanna Rock, Don't Let Me Down, Burn In H3ll - all WAY better - but it was the MTV era, so this video got TONS of play!
Love me some Sister!! Cheers!
Great watch again. The look on alexis face is comical. Dee snider has a very underrated voice very intelligent man. The dad in the vid played the vampire in Buffy the vampire slayer. Keep up the great work
Awesome.Twisted was the first band I ever saw they opened for Maiden, and it was that album. I was like 13- 14 yes old. Thanks
Here in Westchester NY where I live, Twisted Sister was a Local Bar band for me in 80-81, Under The Blade was the opener.. Twisted is Legendary
You both need to watch the Mark Metcalf scene in "Animal House" to get the reference at the beginning and end of this video!!
So many people don't get the "Animal House" reference.
Yea I mentioned that on Patreon, she wouldn't get the Neidermeyer reference.
Love this band. I saw them in concert in Binghamton NY. I was clos to the stage taking pics on my disposable camera. Didn't have cell phones. Avery pretty girl that was on her boyfriends shoulders, asked if I wanted her to take pics for me. I gave her the camera, and didn't care if she emptied the roll of film. I got great pictures. One of my favorite concerts!
First of the Glam Rockers. Dee Snider has a kick booty voice.
I didn't have cable but my cousin did. I saw this at his house and laughed so hard. I imagined my mom flying out the window instead of the dad in the video (I was at odds with my mom). I loved this video.
Dee Snyder and family vs Terry Bradshaw and family on Family Feud is HILARIOUS!
"...I have a smoke show of a wife...", LOL! 😂
My favourite part in the video is them all trying to fit into the window 🤣
Hard to take their actual music and lyrics seriously with a video clip like that one attached to it! 😅
Little Burch in the video."I want to Rock!" It's pretty bad watching Birch mouth part of the opening lines of actor Mark Metcalf, lol
In 1984 I saw TS open up for Iron Maidens Power Slave tour. It was a great concert both bands rocked out so loud my Ears rang for 2 days after.
Wow, I found you guys via your "First time hearing Waiting for a girl like you - Foreigner" video, and this is something VERY different... lol. Good though. :)
The 80's RULE❤
I was 13 in 1985 and this was one of the first hair metal bands I got into along with quiet riot
Dee Snider actually had a morning show in Hartford, Connecticut in the early 2000s. It was on 104.1 WMRQ, and simply called Dee Snider Radio, or DSR. It was fantastic! It was an eclectic, but perfect cast of four main people in the studio. You can (maybe still) find a few things on UA-cam from the show, and I believe a while back someone was putting together a library of shows that you can hear online.
The 80s !!!
Dee Snider is forever a legend in rock history as he took on Tipper Gore (Al Gore's wife) along with a few others regarding lyrical content and made them look rather stupid.
If I had to use one song to define my teenage years in the 80’s, this IS it.
I was into this band before you guys were born And yes I did subscribe a long time ago but I always love seeing your reactions
Funny Alexis compares the video to drag. Dee Spider used to say in interviews that if you want to shock the audience and you're a big swarthy guy, what do you do? You come out in full makeup and wearing a nighty. That shocks people! Heavy metal was always meant to shock. Alice Cooper did it first, then kiss, Twisted, etc. Motley kinda bridged the gap between shocking and glam. Incidentally, glam still shocked many people, including my dad. 😂
Loved this band so much. Stay Hungry was great
I was just like Burch in the beginning. I was saying the lines with the video. I love Twisted Sister and I loved that they used the Douglas C. "Niedermier" character from Animal House.
Funny movie
"We're Not Gonna Take It" was based melodically on "O Come All Ye Faithful." Twisted Sister even released a version of "O Come" 20ish years later.
The father in the video is based on and played by the same actor as a character in _Animal House._
Dee Snider is actually very educated, handsome and gentle soul, which contradicts the band persona. I loved Dee…. Especially when he testified in Congress about record ratings on record albums. He made a total ass outta Al and Tipper Gore.
There is another video with Dee singing this song… about childhood cancer. His friend, Criss Angel’s baby son was diagnosed. The video will give you chills. Hope you check it out!
I mention the PMRC trials in our firsted TS video, The Price. Check it out, think you will like it.
Last time i saw them, they played this song 3 times. So good ❤👍🤘🍻
While we're on "Twisted Sister" - how about reacting to Dee Snider (and Zappa, and Denver) testifying at the Senate committee hearing? That's a powerful rock-related material too.
Great reaction! I was 12 when this song and video came out. My dad was similar to this dad, so this song and video hit the spot. I had Dee Sniders picture in my trapper keeper at school, which was my main folder that had a plastic zip lock pouch on the front where you could put a picture in. I was full on Twisted Sister that year. Great year to be 12, with Van Halen, Def Leppard, Scorpions, Iron Maiden.
Hi you two , Burch you should show Alexi some 70ths band like
Sweet,Slade,T-Rex,
Love your channel
Happy Easter ✨
You deserve at least 100 000 subscribers, or even 1 million! Your reactions are interesting, funny and informative! ^_^
Twisted Sister is one of my favorite bands next to "The Price " this my favorite song
An anthem for the ages!
Snyder did a slowed down, "power ballad" version of this song, and the video was a lot of imagery involving cancer patients, survivors, and family members. I don't know how they did it, but thew song was beautiful, and it made me more than a little misty-eyed. I recommend checking it out, if only for yourselves. It was surprising.
Burch, you and I are the same age. It doesn’t seem like there was much difference between north Alabama and where you were in Florida. Just a little farther to go for all the concerts. My favorite reactions you guys do is when it’s our music for Alexis to hear. Keep it up dude!
Sometimes I just need a laugh. Y'all make my day. God bless y'all.
Dee once described their look as "Raggedy Ann on acid". Story checks out.
Augh yes, that wonderful satanic panic!! Thankyou Tipper Gore & Mike Warnke!! Long live head bangers!!!
Actually a great metal band
Great reaction. I was saying the beginning speech right along with you Burch. Know it by heart, lol. 😊
That's Mark Metcalf reprising Douglas Neidermeyer from Animal House.
I met Dee in 1994 at a friends print shop, UGP. He was in Central Florida to approve the graphics for his 24" BMX cruiser made by S & M called the Widowmaker, named after his band at the time. He was a cool cat.
Great song! My daughter confiscated my Stay Hungry cassette and poster. She loved them !
Ok, that is awesome in a way that few can understand!
Dee is the complete package, great writer, singer and an incredible performer and showman, one of the best. "Burn in hell" from the live at Wacken show would be a great one to react to, or bring in The Coop and react to "Be chrool to your scuel".
lol love the reaction, especially the look on Alexis' face. When I was in high school I was 6' 210lbs but I did 2 hours of swimming every morning and rode my bicycle everywhere around town. Everyone called me Popeye legs because my calves were legit bigger than my thighs.
That was my Rock Anthem!!! 🎸🎸🎸 Brings back memories, rebellious age. 😁😁😁
It is a great song and video, that poor youngster transformed into a great rocker because of the harsh father. Many people had sometimes very annoying parents or step parents and felt like saying the same thing sometimes. 10:25 till end, great.!
Way back when I was in Jr High and early high school, there was a group of 4 of us that hung out and we took our nicknames from metal. I was Dio Don, there was Roberto RATT, the one that doesn't make much sense looking at it but sounded cool at the time was Twisted Randy's Sister, and the best one was Scotley Crue.
B.B. King once said, "It's hard to sing the blues in the back of a limousine." Guess the same goes for being broke and angry, can't keep that feeling when you're not broke anymore.
What Dee Snider did to battle the PMRC is beautiful! Great guy. Met him at our job when he was endorsing our game.
The entire thing with how they dressed was to make fun of the hair-metal trend at that time. They made themselves look absolutely horrible on purpose!
I saw Twisted Sister in Japan in 1985! Loved the concert, but the Japanese are pretty well reserved in their seats, and that kinda got Dee Snider mad!
At one time, “Animal House” was the highest grossing comedy in movie history. If you’ve watched it, you’ll understand the references in this video. Mark Metcalf has recreated his Neidermeyer character with some of the same dialogue in this video.
dad you are the best soon grandad, cheers!
It's the road runner & coyote. IYKYK
A rock anthem for an entire generation.
That poster was to keep parents out plus the music did too.My first car and TS.
I saw Twisted Sister when they opened up for Iron Maiden back on the World Slavery Tour. Good band live.
MY DAD WAS LIKE THIS DUDE BUT MY MOM ROCKED TO EVERYTHING FROM ABBA TO IRON MAIDEN🤘🤘
It's so funny, during the dad's speech I was watching her reaction all while spewing the speech at the same time and then my eyes flickered to the right, and I saw he was doing the same thing and now I can't stop laughing.
My mother paid thousands of dollars of private school because she was scared of sending my brother and I to public school because they banged their heads on the lockers in I wanna rock,...
Awwww , memories...
Stay Hungry was my first cassette.
I had a pic of the Twisted Sister Stay Hungry album cover hanging on my wall. 😂
The movie Dee did (with Robert Englund) based off of the twin songs of Horrorteria off this album is pretty good and Dee puts in a pretty good acting performance. The movie is Strangeland.
Not 100% sure on the yr.. i wanna say 2012 or 2013, Twisted was at RockUSA.. the were head lining the last day. Normally, the bands went for just about an hour. Dee said they were NOT doing just an hour. Then went for almost 3 hours, till the Sheriff's Dept told them, they had to wrap it up... Noise issues...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The crowd loved Twisted.. and all of Twisted loved the crowd. I wanna rock, was changed a bit.. hehe.. to... i wanna f***. that was almost a 20 min song, by the time Dee finally wrapped that one up. God, the memories of that night. They also went around the entire camping area, visiting as many people as they could. EVERYONE said, how nice the entire band was when they went out to the public. Unfortunately, i didnt get the chance to meet them. Life is just funny that way sometimes... LOL
I remember. I was at that show too. Awesome!
Oh, you gotta show her "I Wanna Rock", the extended version, next!!!
i forgot this started with Neidermeyer!
Talk about a band who wanted a success! Wow. I think they played 320 a year in the 70s an in the 80's.. before this video.
Gen-Xer we're not going to take it!
The father in the video did win an Oscar for his performance.
Dee Snider allowed Criss Angel to use a stripped down acoustical version of this song for his HELP(Heal Every Life Possible) Charity. It’s a pretty emotional music video and a complete 180 from this video.
The Gen-X Anthem. I don't know about you but that was my dad. This came out and man, Vindication!
Love TS,saw then on this tour when they were oepning for Iron Maiden.
Dee Snyder facing Congress - Hero
For all the SMFs out there...

I don't know if anyone mentioned it yet, the father Matt Metycalf was. in Animal House. he's kind of playing the role he played in the movie.
Twisted Sister Deep Track
King of the fools
Let get to a TWISTED CHRISTMAS LIVE version
The only way she could truly get the intro to this song is if she were to see Animal House. RIP JIm Belushi, gone but not forgotten
Back when you still could yell at another team in High School.
A guy was shooting a free throw.
The fan section started singing .
You're not going to gonna make it, No, your're not gonna make it.
