TWISTED SISTER frontman Dee Snider made a surprise appearance at BARENAKED LADIES‘ November 13 concert at Toronto, Ontario, Canada’s Massey Hall to perform the TWISTED SISTER classic “We’re Not Gonna Take It”.
In the fan-filmed video footage below, you can see BARENAKED LADIES playing the first few bars of “We’re Not Gonna Take It”, only to be interrupted by Snider, who strolled onto the stage in mock outrage, pretending to be upset about not being invited to perform his song.
Snider’s holiday rock musical “Dee Snider’s Rock & Roll Christmas Tale” had a two-month run last year at the Broadway Playhouse in Chicago and is at Toronto’s Winter Garden Theater this holiday season (November 17 – January 3).
“Dee Snider’s Rock & Roll Christmas Tale” tells the story of DÄISY CÜTTER, a heavy metal bar band looking to make it big even though the ’80s are long over. This year, these four guys are ready to take the ultimate step and, in mythic rock tradition, sell their souls to the devil in exchange for success beyond their wildest metal dreams! But every time they try to seal the infernal pact, their headbanging anthems turn into warm-hearted carols. Soon these rockers are forced to realize their dreams of stardom are no match for the Christmas spirit.
Snider, who appears in the show as both the narrator and exorcist, says: “It’s about a band that has a dream and is giving it everything they’ve got for that dream, and also recognizing that sometimes we overlook all the great things we have in our life.”
