Long Island native Dee Snider is best known as the lip-stick coated, spandex wearing front man of Twisted Sister.  In 1985 he hosted MTV's first ever show dedicated to hard rock called "Heavy Metal Mania".



That same year a Senate hearing was instigated by Tipper Gore and the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC), who wanted to introduce a parental warning system (similar to movie ratings) that would label all albums containing "offensive" material.  Dee Snider, John Denver and Frank Zappa all testified against censorship and the proposed warning system. Such a system was never implemented, but the result of the trial brought about what is now the generic "Parental Advisory: Explicit Content" label.



In 1998, he penned a song entitled "The Magic of Christmas Day (God Bless Us Everyone)", later to be recorded by Celine Dion on her album These Are Special Times.  According to Snider, Dion at the time wasn't aware of who wrote the song. Later that year, he also wrote and starred in the horror film Strangeland.

Dee re-formed Twisted Sister in 2002 and has hosted several successful radio programs over the past decade.  Mr. Snider kicks complete and total a$$.
