Dee Snider did not like what he saw during Sunday’s Super Bowl halftime show.
The Twisted Sister frontman criticized Jennifer Lopez and Shakira for what he considered too sexy performances for the NFL’s family-friendly audience, and insisted a rock band would have brought a different vibe.
“Beginning to pole humping, ass slapping, ass shaking end. If that’s the requirements for a half-time show, none of the rock bands I know can or will do that. #justsayin,” Snider tweeted Sunday night.

503 10:05 PM - Feb 2, 2020 Twitter Ads info and privacy 216 people are talking about this Shakira and Lopez performed a medley of their hits, with Shakira dancing, playing instruments, surfing through the crowd, and shaking her hips while singing “Hips Don’t Lie.”
Lopez arrived on a stripper pole, shimmied and belted out several songs, including “Jenny From the Block.”
NFL ✔ @NFL That was incredible, @jlo + @shakira! 👏 #PepsiHalftime #SBLIV

Snider was apparently upset about the performances all night, and took to Twitter again this morning to let off more steam.
This time he responded to a Boston sports fan who called for the rocker to headline next year’s show, adding that he’s sure the longtime performer “could climb the pole too.” Snider’s response: “Yes…but I refuse to shake my ass or let someone slap it on stage!”
Dee Snider ✔ @deesnider Yes...but I refuse to shake my ass or let someone slap it on stage! @NFL https://twitter.com/billsimnnons/status/1224283283749580802 …
Boston Sports Guy @BillSimnnons @deesnider is good enough for @Facebook
His makeup is better than JLo
And I’m pretty sure he can climb the pole too.

It’s not surprising Snider disapproved of Lopez and Shakira’s high-octane set.
In September after the NFL announced the two Latin superstars would be headlining the show, he voiced his anger on social media.
“WTF!? @shakira and @jlo for this year’s @nfl halftime show!? Once again the great heavy music that rocks the stadiums week after week, game after game is completely ignored. I guess we don’t shake our ass enough!!” Snider tweeted on September 26.
Dee Snider ✔ @deesnider WTF!? @shakira and @jlo for this year's @nfl halftime show!? Once again the great heavy music that rocks the stadiums week after week, game after game is completely ignored. I guess we don't shake our ass enough!!
After cooling down a bit, he returned to the subject and insisted rock gets “no respect.”
“My point about this years @NFL halftime show isn’t a slight on @shakira or @JLo, it’s frustration that week after week rock is the go to music during games but gets no respect when it comes to the Super Bowl! And I don’t think I’m popular enough for that slot. But @Metallica…” he wrote.
The Super Slut Bowl can be moved to a later time... midnight works...
Not any lady I want to know.
Bartolo Colon? When?
I’ve met Dee before. Seems like a great guy.
so robin williams and eddie murphy are transvestites according to your standards...
it’s all part of the act...
not what they preach...
He was a McCaniac who voted for Obama

Robin played a role in one movie.
dee has been dressing like that for 43 years.
prove it...
At least there was little danger of a wardrobe malfunction.

Dee and Suzette started dating in 1976, shortly after he joined Twisted Sister. Back then it was a glam band in the androgynous mold of the New York Dolls. Dee had expressed admiration for a turquoise mesh top Suzette had. So she wore it to one of his gigs.
“She walks in the club, looks at the stage and I’m wearing the same top,” he recalls. “I’m all excited. She was mortified. It’s one thing if you walk in and another girl is wearing the same top as you. But imagine if you walk in and your boyfriend is wearing your outfit.”
it was a Wiccan ceremony called ‘Drawing Down The Moon’.
nice try... the article is dated sixteen years shy of your forty three year old claim today...
Rush said it best...it was a tribute to Jeffrey Epstein.
There were tons of bands that did something similar. How about them?
1976-2019=43 years
How is that 16 years shy?
Interesting observation.
New York Dolls stopped dressing like that after the first couple years.
david Bowie retired Ziggy Stardust after only a couple of years.
Little Richard stopped singing as Princess LaVonne before he ever started recoring in 1951.
the article you posted is dated 2004... that’s 16 years shy of today’s year of 2020...
so your claim of 43 years is wrong...
If you’re not into metal, you might not ‘get it’.
Dee’s a good man, looks after his band-mates like family, loves America. Don’t know if he’s crazy ‘bout Elvis. The makeup is part of his band’s identity and they enjoy the joke it’s become as much as you do.
If you want to be alarmed over Snider watch the film “Strangeland” that portrays him as a truly monstrous sicko. He did it so well no one hired him again.
But that SuperBowl Halftime Show was a gateway drug to strip clubs, porno and teenage boys staying in the bathroom too long.
