November 22, 2014, 9 years ago
Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider, who is currently in Chicago for his Rock & Roll Christmas Tale stage production, recently guested on 89 WLS. Check out the interview below, which features discussion on Twisted Sister's success and Snider's secret to longevity in the music business:
Snider: "My philosophy on life has always been pretty against the norm. I mean, I never did drugs, I never drank, I was always fitness, I've been with the same woman 38 years. I was an alien in the rock and roll community. They were looking at me going, 'What is this guy's deal?' And I'm looking at them going, 'You don't get it. This is a long game, man. You're looking to exit at 30, I'm looking to exit in my 90s."
Snider debuted his Rock & Roll Christmas Tale on November 4th in Chicago, IL at the Broadway Playhouse and will run through until January 4th. Broadway In Chicago has posted a one-minute highlight reel from the production, which can be viewed below.
A synopsis of the play reads as follows:
"Dee Snider's Rock & Roll Christmas Tale tells the story of Däisy Cütter, a heavy metal bar band looking to make it big even though the '80s are LONG over. This year, these four guys are ready to take the ultimate step and, in mythic rock tradition, sell their souls to the devil in exchange for success beyond their wildest metal dreams! But every time they try to seal the infernal pact, their head-banging anthems turn into warm-hearted carols. Soon these rockers are forced to realize their dreams of stardom are no match for the Christmas spirit.Dee Snider, infamous lead singer of Twisted Sister, has created and stars in a VERY funny, VERY rocking and (sshhh!) VERY sweet new holiday musical, guaranteed to rock your holiday."
Snider recently appeared on on WCIU's You & Me This Morning to discuss the event. Watch below:
