TWISTED SISTER Frontman DEE SNIDER Slams Raiding The Rock Vault Las Vegas Stage Production... Again - "It's Offensive To The Guys Who Actually Played On These Albums"
May 29, 2015, 9 years ago
Raiding the Rock Vault is billed as "a two hour classic rock concert experience that transports the audience from the 1960’s to the 1980’s with classic anthems from The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, The Eagles, Queen, AC/DC, Deep Purple, Van Halen, Journey, Free, Aerosmith and more. This fully live concert experience features a stunning light show, video screens, actors and high quality concert sound production in the famous Showroom at the Tropicana Las Vegas."
Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider recently spoke with The Las Vegas Sun and voiced his opinions on the production:
“Rock Vault is a tribute band of a bunch of add-on people who were not the people who played on these classic albums except for (guitarist) Howard Leese, who is the only actual guy who was in the studio making the records we love. Otherwise, it’s an army of guys up there claiming their credentials, that they were in these bands, and they are not legit.”“I refuse to go to it. It’s offensive to the guys who actually played on these albums. But I’ve spent enough time bashing it. I’ve been bashing it for a while, actually.”
“Twisted Sister is one of the best live bands, if not the best live band, ever. I know that is a hell of a statement, but I make it fearlessly. We’ve annihilated other bands in festivals, guys who are saying, ‘What the (heck) just happened? They just destroyed us!’ I’d love to do a Rock in Rio festival. Please, just put me on the bill, and it’ll be my pleasure to school you, OK (laughs)?”
