As soon as once more, Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider has slammed the Rock and Roll Corridor of Fame for his perception that they don’t respect nor care about heavy metallic as a style. In a brand new interview transcribed by Blabbermouth, Snider says that they need to name it the “Music Corridor of Fame” as a result of it could higher replicate the artists inducted into the Rock and Roll Corridor of Fame.

“The Rock And Roll Corridor Of Fame may have saved themselves numerous issues by merely calling themselves the ‘Music Corridor Of Fame’. I lived on Lengthy Island, and there’s a Lengthy Island Music Corridor Of Fame, and in there may be Arlo Guthrie and Neil Diamond and Twisted Sister and Zebra is in there and Public Enemy‘s in there and KISS is in there, as a result of it’s music.

“The minute you place that phrase on it, everyone’s, like, ‘Okay, I get it. It’s the Music Corridor Of Fame. And these are nice musicians.’ So by calling it the Rock And Roll Corridor Of Fame, it positions itself to criticism, and the individuals who run that factor, it’s nonetheless Jann Wenner of Rolling Stone and Meg Griffin from WNEW in New York Metropolis, the hip radio station from the ’70s and ’60s. NEW has been off the air for many years…

“These are the people who find themselves the panel, the voting panel of the Rock And Roll Corridor Of Fame. So these previous mothereffers are choosing the stuff that they grew up with — they’re previous. In fact they’re choosing… And the minute they go and die — the earlier, the higher, guys and ladies; the earlier, the higher — and so they usher in some modern individuals… Once more, they’ll both vote to alter their title or they’ll simply begin acknowledging bands…”

He continued by lambasting the followers’ selection a part of voting, saying that it offers the Rock Corridor a manner out of severely acknowledging rock and metallic bands.

“For me, gross sales do matter. Being beloved does matter. The quantity of followers you may have does matter. And so they threw us a bone after they had the followers’ selection. This manner they’ll say, ‘We didn’t choose KISS. We didn’t choose Judas Priest.’ They’re elitist mothereffers.”

The solely rock or metallic band inducted in 2023 is Rage Towards the Machine, so I can see the place Snider is coming from however complaining about it received’t change it. The truth is, it solely reminds the Rock and Roll Corridor of Fame that we care about metallic, even when they don’t.
