Dee Snider Goes Off On Twitter

Twitter is the go-to platform for celebrities to engage in battles with Internet trolls these days. Sometimes the celebs aren't even responding to trolls, but stirring up a battle all on their own. Dee Snider likes to speak - and tweet - his mind. Yesterday, he took on Doug Aldrich and Whitesnake. It got a little heated!

I'll opine that he tore a sheet out of Sebastian (insert Sabitchen) Bach's playbook on "how to be a rockstar" and surmised to himself, "Let's see what happens when I...
I mean, c'mon on people, this is Dee Snider, who even endorsed and stomped for Al Gore in 2000 after all that PMRC shit. Have we forgotten already?
gary: I have know idea why Dee "went after" Doug Aldrich, as I believe you that doug is an absolutely stand up guy. I think Dee was talking more generally, but, unfortunately, focused his rant specifically.
in the meantime, sometimes, some persons just need to be put in their respective place (or palace). I'm wearing black leather and got a 1000 watts of power!!!
peace, all
