During a recent interview on Fozzy frontman Chris Jericho's official Talk Is Jericho podcast, Paul Stanley responded to some disparaging remarks made by Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider regarding KISS guitarist Tommy Thayer and drummer Eric Singer during an appearance on Eddie Trunk's show. Stanley is quoted as saying "this guy (Snider) is a wannabe, has always been a wannabe and desperately wants attention and to be taken seriously, and that will never happen because he's obviously clueless that he and his whole band are a bunch of buffoons."

Check out the Talk Is Jericho interview with Stanley below.

Snider responded to Stanley with a letter posted on Facebook, found below. The feud carried over to Twisted Sister's recent show in Hinckley, MN where a "Fuck Paul Stanley" shirt was seen on stage. Drummer Mike Portnoy later clarified the origins of the shirt via Facebook, noting that Snider had nothing to do with it:

"Thank you Hinckley, MN for sending Twisted Sister off with an awesome final 2015 show and thanks again to Dee, Jay Jay, Eddie and Mark for making feel so at home!

For the record, somebody from the audience threw an "Fuck Paul Stanley" shirt on stage. Somebody hung it on the drum riser for a few minutes but to Dee's credit, he didn't take the bait and took the high road without mentioning Paul or anything about "the feud" during the show. Jay Jay did briefly mention something at the end, NOT AT ALL bad mouthing Paul, but merely stood up for Dee calling him one of the greatest frontmen in rock."

Following is Snider's open letter to Stanley:

"A letter to Paul Stanley of KISS in response to comments about Twisted Sister and myself he made on a recent Chris Jericho podcast.

Dear Paul, September 9th, 2015.

First off, thanks for giving me the attention I—as you noted-- so desperately wanted.

Now, I’ve always had nothing but respect for your band, and you as a performer, but it really comes as no surprise that the feeling isn’t mutual. For some reason you are oddly threatened by me. This said, your recent comments about my band and I on Chris Jericho’s podcast was a typical diversionary tactic used in an attempt to change the subject, rather than answer the actual accusation or question. It’s the oldest interviewing trick in the book.

As far as my 'whole band being a bunch of buffoons' goes, that’s a pretty ironic statement coming from you. The argument could easily be made that KISS is the 'king of the buffoons', so in an odd way you’ve paid Twisted Sister quite a compliment. It takes one to know one.

Lastly, on the subject of me being a wannabe'? Do you really think so? Well then…any time, any stage. But let’s do this old school –no costumes, no pyro, no bullshit – let’s just get up there and rock. I will bury you, son."

Sincerely, the attention getting, wannabe, lead buffoon of Twisted Sister,

Dee Snider

PS: "Did I mention that I’m clean, sober, razor sharp and fully capable of defending myself from any kind of lame attack? Just ask Al Gore."

Snider followed up his letter with an interview on One On One With Mitch Lafon, found below.
