DEE SNIDER 'Rock & Roll Roast': Details Revealed

December 19, 2012

Get ready for a raucous night of comedy, charity and chaos. Revolver and Guitar World are proud to announce the second annual Rock & Roll Roast comedy series with honoree Dee Snider, lead singer of the legendary 1980s rock band TWISTED SISTER.

The exclusive event will take place at The Grove in Anaheim, California on Thursday, January 24, 2013 and will air live on AXS TV at midnight ET / 9 p.m. PT; a portion of all proceeds will benefit MusiCares, a nonprofit organization of The Recording Academy that provides emergency financial assistance and addiction recovery resources to music people in need.

Roastmaster Penn Jillette and other metal-loving luminaries such as last year's honoree Zakk Wylde, ANTHRAX's Scott Ian, Lita Ford, WWE legend Mick Foley and "That Metal Show" host Eddie Trunk, as well as comedy and roast veterans Jim Norton, Craig Gass, Jim Florentine and more will all take aim at the TWISTED SISTER frontman and reality TV icon, best known for his outspoken personality, his golden locks and his appearances on "The Celebrity Apprentice". Jose Mangin (of SiriusXM and "Headbangers Ball" fame) will also be on hand to serve as the evening's official DJ.

Roastee Snider commented: "Roasters remember: P.A.M.F. Payback's A Mutha F**ker!" Rock & Roll Roast executive producer Josh Bernstein added, "They say you only roast the ones you love, but with Dee Snider, we’ll be making an exception."

Beyond being the iconic lead singer of '80s sensation TWISTED SISTER, Dee Snider has starred in several reality TV shows ("The Celebrity Apprentice", "Gone Country", MTV's "Rock The Cradle", A&E's "Growing Up Twisted") and frequently hosts programs on MTV Networks along with his own long-running nationally syndicated radio show "House Of Hair". Never setting his limits, Dee has taken on the role of film producer, actor, voiceover artist, political advocate and, most recently, Broadway star with his run in the hit musical "Rock Of Ages". His autobiography, "Shut Up And Give Me The Mic", was released in the summer of 2012 and Dee returns to the small screen in March 2013 as part of the cast of "All-Star Celebrity Apprentice".

This show will kick off on the opening night of the 2013 NAMM show in Anaheim, California. This live charity event is not open to the public, but if you want to attend and learn more about being a sponsor for this once-in-a-lifetime event benefiting a great charity and cause, visit RockAndRollRoast.com.
