Dee Snider, the frontman of Twisted Sister, has recently criticized the reunions of Kiss and Mötley Crüe, claiming they were only motivated by money. In an interview with Ultimate Guitar, Snider expressed his disappointment with the two bands, stating that they “have said, ‘F*** you’ to their fans and their legacy.”

Snider argues that the bands’ recent reunion tours were not genuine reunions but a cash grab. He believes that the motivation behind these tours was purely financial, with no regard for the band’s legacy or fans. Snider also points out that the original members of both bands are no longer together and that the current lineups are missing key members, which diminishes the authenticity of the reunions.

Dee Snider’s Take on Motley Crue and Kiss Reunions

According to Snider, fans deserve better than a money-driven reunion tour. He believes that fans should be able to see the original lineups of their favorite bands and that these bands should put the fans and their legacy first. However, Snider also acknowledges that while he understands the desire to make money, it shouldn’t come at the expense of fans’ trust and loyalty.

In conclusion, Dee Snider’s criticism of Kiss and Mötley Crüe’s reunions as money-driven highlights the importance of considering fans and a band’s legacy when making decisions about tours and reunions. While making money is essential, it should not be the only motivation behind a reunion tour. Fans deserve to see their favorite bands in their original lineups, and bands should strive to prioritize their fans’ loyalty and trust above financial gain.

As for another reunion with Twisted Sister, Dee said that he wouldn’t participate in another one. They went out for their final tour to support AJ Pero after his death, and then they did a one-off show to celebrate their induction into the Metal Hall of Fame. However, he did not rule out a one-off or performing a couple of songs at a special event in the future.
