July 9, 2015

In the latest installment of "Snider Comments With Dee Snider", the TWISTED SISTER frontman celebrates the 4th of July with a short story he wrote titled "And The Rocket's Red Glare". Check it out below.

"Snider Comments With Dee Snider" is a weekly "pulling back of the curtain" on the rock world and exposing of oft-unmentionable truths. With his rock icon pedigree and more than 20 years in radio and television broadcasting, Dee Snider has never been afraid to speak his mind and "call 'em as he sees 'em." Filled with straight talk, interviews and listener interaction, "Snider Comments" will make sure the world of rock 'n' roll is never the same.

As previously reported, Snider has recorded four songs with Grammy and Emmy Award winner Damon Ranger, whose credits include Katy Perry's "Roar" and working with Kanye West.

In other news, Billboard.com is premiering a new Dee Snider rock song called "To Hell And Back", which the singer recorded with his solo band, including former SILVERTIDE guitarist Nick Perri. The track will be included in a new album that Dee is currently working on that will also feature material from Snider's past, including his worldwide hits with TWISTED SISTER.

Said Dee: "'To Hell And Back' represents my first truly new, original musical offering since the '90s. When my friend and co-writer, guitarist Nick Perri, presented me with the riff and music bed for this song, I found true inspiration to write for the first time in decades. Lyrically, the song raises a bold middle finger to those who whine and complain about the difficulties of life, but have no real clue what difficult is. As I say in the song, 'Don't tell me your sad story. Don't say your world is black. Just spare me your vainglory. I've been to hell and back!'"
