The news didn't sit well with Twisted Sister legend Dee Snider, who voiced his feelings on the situation via Twitter. He followed up his initial tweet with an explanation for those that got him wrong. See below.
WTF!? @shakira and @jlo for this year's @nfl halftime show!? Once again the great heavy music that rocks the stadiums week after week, game after game is completely ignored. I guess we don't shake our ass enough!!
