Dee Snider's House of Hair

Of course, best known as the lead singer of the acclaimed rock band, Twisted Sister, Dee Snider is more than a musician…Dee is a radio personality, television host, author, screenplay writer, actor, and most of all, he is a doting husband of 27 years, and father of four children.

With myriad appearances on VH-1, the Network could easily be called DeeH-1.  In fact, beginning in 2004, VH-1 Classic has signed Dee to be a host and face of the cable Network.  The tie in is natural, as Dee’s radio career continues to grow…Dee begins his Seventh year hosting the nationally syndicated ‘House of Hair’.  The weekly show is heard in over 150 markets across the country.

Never setting limits, Dee wrote, produced, and acted in ‘Dee Snider’s Strangeland’.  This horror flick immediately struck a resonant chord with a legion of horror fans, elevating the movie to one of the most rented movies in its class.

Dee can do more than horror, and did, when he starred as Dee Snider, in VH-1’s 2002 original production of  ‘Warning:  Parental Advisory’.  Co-starring Mariel Hemingway, Griffin Dunne and Jason Priestly, Dee re-created his role during the congressional record labeling hearings of the mid 1980’s.  Battling the Washington wives, most notably, Tipper Gore, Dee, along with Frank Zappa and John Denver turned D.C. politics upside down, carrying the banner of Twisted’s legendary song “We’re Not Gonna Take It”.  Nor would Arnold Schwarzenegger…

In October of 2003, Arnold Schwarzenegger, enlisted Dee’s voice and passion, telling the citizens of California, that they shouldn’t take it anymore either.  And, at his last political rally in Sacramento, Arnold Schwarzenegger, asked Dee to lead the way singing ‘We’re Not Gonna Take it’.  And, California listened as the Terminator was elected Governor.

Dee has also lent his very unique voice to scores of commercials, documentaries, video games, and perhaps most impressive, as the voice of MSNBC.

For three years Dee hosted a top rated morning radio show heard in Hartford, CT and Richmond, VA.  Within 12 months of Dee leaving his radio show, the radio station collapsed and was forced to flip its format.

But don’t think music is in Dee’s past.  While he recently reunited with his original Twisted Sister mates, he keeps creating.  His latest creation ‘Van Helsing’s Curse’ is an eighteen piece rock orchestra that mixes everything from Black Sabbath to Beethoven.  Set to a spooky story line, written and narrated by Snider himself, Van Helsing’s Curse has been hailed by critics as The New soundtrack for Halloween.
