SNIDER accused KISS (THAYER and SINGER) of dressing up as PETER CRISS and ACE FREHLEY's catman and spaceman characters.
PAUL STANLEY replied to DEE SNIDER'S criticism stating "In this case, this guy is a wannabe, has always been a wannabe and desperately wants attention and to be taken seriously. That will never happen because he is clueless and he and his whole band are a bunch of buffoons."
DEE SNIDER replied to PAUL STANLEY's comments "for some reason you are oddly threatened by me", and stated "I will bury you onstage".
TWISTED SISTER released "Still Hungry" 10/19/2004 via SPIT FIRE RECORDS and "LIVE AT THE MARQUEE" (2011).
KISS unleashed "Monster", 10/9/2012 via UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP.
KISS were inducted into the ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME 4/10/2014.
FROM DEE SNIDER:
A letter to Paul Stanley of Kiss in response to comments about Twisted Sister and myself he made on a recent Chris Jericho podcast.
Dear Paul, September 9th, 2015
First off, thanks for giving me the attention I—as you noted-- so desperately wanted.
Now, I’ve always had nothing but respect for your band, and you as a performer, but it really comes as no surprise that the feeling isn’t mutual. For some reason you are oddly threatened by me. This said, your recent comments about my band and I on Chris Jericho’s podcast was a typical diversionary tactic used in an attempt to change the subject, rather than answer the actual accusation or question. It’s the oldest interviewing trick in the book.
As far as my “whole band being a bunch of buffoons” goes, that’s a pretty ironic statement coming from you. The argument could easily be made that Kiss is the “king of the buffoons”, so in an odd way you’ve paid Twisted Sister quite a compliment. It takes one to know one.
Lastly, on the subject of me being a “wannabe”? Do you really think so? Well then…any time, any stage. But let’s do this old school –no costumes, no pyro, no bullshit – let’s just get up there and rock. I will bury you, son.
Sincerely, the attention getting, wannabe, lead buffoon of Twisted Sister,
Dee Snider
PS: Did I mention that I’m clean, sober, razor sharp and fully capable of defending myself from any kind of lame attack? Just ask Al Gore
