Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider is not at all ashamed to admit he and Donald Trump are friends. That explains why Snider allowed the leading Republican presidential candidate to use Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It” while swaggering down the campaign trail. Yet Snider implied to Yahoo Music that he will not vote for Trump come election time.
“Would you nominate or elect any friend you have as president of the United States?” Snider rhetorically asks. “My best friend is legally insane. He gets checks from the government. I’m not voting for him. He’s my best friend. There isn’t a friend I have, and I love them all dearly, that I would want to see become president of the United States. Donald Trump is a friend. I’ve done nothing to not be friends with him and he’s done nothing to not be friends with me. Again, I value all my friends. They’re great. But I couldn’t imagine any of them becoming President.”
Having said all he has to say about the Presidential race, the only politics Snider wants to talk about are the politics of Twisted Sister, which director Andrew Horn accurately chronicled in his new film We Are Twisted F—ing Sister!, which hits select theaters February 19 and comes out on DVD February 23.
To date, Twisted Sister remain best known for their outrageous, triple-platinum 1984 metal album Stay Hungry, and the 1985 Senate hearing, in which Snider, Frank Zappa, and John Denver spoke to representatives and the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC) about the dangers of rating rock albums. But there’s a lot more to the Twisted story.
We Are Twisted F—ing Sister! tells the captivating tale of a suburban New York bar band that bashed around the local circuit for 10 years before getting signed to a ramshackle German label. The movie addresses the various pre-Snider members who joined the band and the persistence and tenacity it took for Twisted Sister to reach the top of the metal heap. And the movie ends well before the band goes national, let alone multiplatinum.
