Busting in at number 10 on my personal countdown of “The 100 Most Beautiful Rock Stars on the Planet” is Dee Snider. Dee is the frontman for the band Twisted Sister. For those of you who have been faithful to my blog since its humble beginning a short time ago, you will recall the significance of Twisted Sister in my own life.

If you’re new to my blog, then you should read my previous postings to find out what I mean. Snider was in a few other bands before Twisted Sister, although they were not near as successful. Dee also formed a couple of other bands after Twisted Sister disbanded: Desperado and Widowmaker.

In addition to the bands, Snider has been a TV host on music programs and a radio DJ. He is also involved with charities, has done voice work for a video game, has a number of television and movie roles, and has even done Broadway. One of the things I find most beautiful about Dee is his voice, and not just pertaining to music, radio, or other vocal endeavors that I already mentioned. Dee has never been afraid to voice his stance on anything, and yet has managed to keep from crossing the line between standing one’s ground and being belligerent. That takes finesse and class.

To find out about everything going on in Dee’s world, visit http://www.deesnider.com. Twisted Sister will be touring, beginning next month.  The band has needed some time to mourn the unexpected loss of their brother, drummer A.J. Pero.  

Tour dates, including a special show honoring A.J., can be found on the band’s official website:   http://www.twistedsister.com.  Thank you, Dee Snider, for your beautiful voice and for being such an inspiration to me personally.
