Sleaze Roxx has issued an interview with JESSE BLAZE SNIDER, son of legendary TWISTED SISTER frontman DEE SNIDER. The following is an excerpt from the interview, conducted by Kathy F:
Q: You mentioned working with your Dad, Dee Snider. How is that? I know you are doing several projects with him. How is it being on stage with him?
A: "We have done that twice now and it's interesting. I'm not the kind of guy who wants to steal someone's thunder, so when he's on stage with us I kind of bow out. I pull back and let him do his thing. He sings lead and I come in for the gang vocals and the cords. It's fun and kind of surreal cos I never really thought that I would do that. I used to be very, very hung up about the whole thing, but I'm working on it. It's actually been a lot of fun.
Looking at each other across the microphone and singing 'We're Not Gonna Take It' is something I never thought I would do or want to do. We've done it twice now on stage and we did a commercial for a video game called Singing Star, it's a singing version of Guitar Hero. It was pretty funny because we were in my parent's living room with my Dad in full make up. I was a random kid doing karaoke when Dee Snider shows up and we end up singing 'We're Not Gonna Take It' once again. It was me and my brother Shane, my wife Patty and Shane's girlfriend at the time. It was fun and quite bizarre."
