A Conversation with Dee Snider: From First Album to Latest Release

Dee Snider, the iconic frontman of Twisted Sister, has had a storied career spanning decades. From his early days on Long Island to his current endeavors, Snider has always been true to his roots. In an exclusive interview with Greater Long Island, we sat down with Snider to discuss his upcoming album, 'Leave A Scar', and his journey from the first album he bought to the latest release.

The conversation began with Snider's reflections on his time on Long Island. If given the power to resurrect one hallowed venue for a final concert, it would be Speaks of Island Park, a place that holds a special spot in his heart. This sentiment is echoed in his upcoming album, which was produced by Sexy Wings Productions and will be released via Napalm Records on July 30.

Snider's passion for music started early on Long Island, where he grew up surrounded by the sounds of rock 'n' roll. He recalled buying his first album, 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' by The Beatles, which sparked a lifelong love affair with music. As he began to form his own band, Twisted Sister, Snider drew inspiration from the likes of Aerosmith and KISS.

Fast forward to today, Snider is still going strong, splitting his time between homes in Los Angeles and Belize. However, despite no longer being a Long Island resident, he remains proud of his roots and considers himself a Long Islander at heart. This sense of community is evident in his upcoming album, which was recorded with friends and collaborators from the Long Island music scene.

In addition to 'Leave A Scar', Snider has several other projects in the works, including a tour that will bring him back to Stereo Garden in Patchogue on July 29. The show will also feature a special performance of the new album, making it a must-see event for fans of the iconic frontman.

As we conclude our conversation with Dee Snider, it's clear that his legacy extends far beyond his music. He remains a true champion of rock 'n' roll and a testament to the power of community. With 'Leave A Scar' set to drop on July 30, fans around the world will be eagerly anticipating what's next for this metal icon.
