Dee Snider Says Crüe and VH Imitated Twisted Sister

Dee Snider says Twisted Sister was the inspiration for Mötley Crüe and Van Halen.
In a new interview, the Twisted Sister frontman discussed the band’s music videos for ‘We’re Not Gonna Take It’ and ‘I Wanna Rock’ and the impact they had on the industry.
Snider said, “Yet it went on to become this huge phenomenon that other bands — like Van Halen, Mötley Crüe, everybody — started imitating the Twisted Sister style of storytelling, a little mini passion play video.”
