We need him to talk to congress about SOPA

[lortallica]

braveheart baby bring the f#### flag dee snider rulz

[shitfaced1312]

[Orthropox14]

DEE IS A BADASS. I FUCKING LOVE TWISTED SISTER.

[waltermetal1987]

[Horzagiar]

Tipper Gore sends subminal messages when she speaks...

[Anglynn74]

I was a kid back then & my mother let me listen to all that music, my monm was a product of the hippie 60s & knew that none of the music would bother me. I grew up just fine thank you.

[Jtakashi16]

3:16-3:19

council man 1: dammit he's good

council man 2: i know we're fucked

[psychomaniac76584]

0:11 He forgot Mercyful Fate!!! they're more metal than most of the other bands and this idiot ignored them. Metal fan my ass.

[Sekiath]

@psychomaniac76584 Are you talking about the list for the filthy fifteen? Because he didn't make that list, the PMRC did.

[psychomaniac76584]

@Sekiath that's not what I mean. I know he didn't make the list but when he highlighted the names of the bands in red, he forgot to highlight Mercyful Fate, ignoring that they are a metal band too.

[AlexandraMercury]

I used this for my senior project last year. My evil a-hole teacher gave me an 100% for the class presentation, but the judges for the actual presentation gave me an 88%. 2 points away from an A, even though everyone said my presentation was more informative and interesting than a lot of the presentations that DID earn A's... -_- Unfortunately, some people are still ignorant about rock and metal. :/

[666Jalkasieni]

wow, I love it how he made those pricks shit their pants.

[LibraHorse1]

Dee Snider: The number 1 go-to lawyer for your inner child since 1983.

[FUNNYDUDEFILMS]

that Khan lady looks like Mrs doubtfire

[666stet]

DEE SNIDER FOR PRESIDENT \m/

[Motorskallen]

I would really like to see the clip from the documentary "Warning: Parental Advisory", when Dee Snider defends the music against Tipper Gore. Is there anyone who can upload it?

[01sircharles]

where is the rest? anyone tell me? Saw Zappa,and Denver Where can I see the complete hearing? Thanks

[livemusicrox]

If the teabaggers do get their way then we should start deciding which person we should send to congress!!! Lol

[Angelus12308]

We're really not gonna take it.

Should we act as stupid jock kids,and every time we get frustrated kick the shit out of some poor guy,or rather kick the shit out of the whammy bars on our guitars?

Tell me what you think is the more constructive solution.

[brightbite]

Hey, Dee, the Declaration of Independance is now being censored in this country, too!

[doctorshifty83]

Story of The Year's first album I remember didn't have a single curse word on the whole CD. It was the enhanced content for the computer that caused the CD for Parental Advisory. Rediculous. It made me throw the cover away because of that.

[jons44]

If the teabaggers get their way, we'll be right back to having stupid hearings like this.

[f15mech]

@jons44 It was Al Gores (Democrat and prior Presidential candidate) wife that started these stupid hearings the first time.

Nice try

[jons44]

@f15mech I never denied that. Things change. Tables have turned. Most of the dems aren't engaged in culture war anymore. The religious conservatives (like the teabaggers) would love to regulate rock music. Remember the 90's Marylin Manson concert protests. I guarantee you those protesters were not dems.

Nice try

[Rocket14queen]

tipper gore is a cunt.

[KillerBassist1]

@Rocket14queen agreed

[spazzmosis]

Dee is so smart, you have to respect him for it. I remember all this, and I hated Tipper Gore for it, but as Dee has said before the Parental Advisory Explicit Lyrics sticker was one of the best advertisements that rock n' roll ever had. Think about it, which one do you want? Edited or not?

[corymazz]

Al Gore must be hung like a budgie... his wife needs a good fuck.

[beefour23]

my hero

[VitalSigns1]

Does anyone have the full video of Dee Snider in court???

[Frowned]

So this guy would consider Def Leppard a metal band but not Mercyful Fate?

[dragula6]

does anyone know where I can find the full video of the court session?

[11DNA11]

Thank god Megadeth didn't have their Peace Sells album out at that time xD The Conjuring would've been on the occult list in a heartbeat XD

[Bobofjudia]

I look at that black list and only see some of the best songs ever written.

[11DNA11]

@Bobofjudia Agree! Judas Priest's Eat Me Alive is a masterpiece in my book :)

[mrhoffame]

The PRC should have sat back for minute and just looked at the fact that John Denver and Frank Zappa were against them lol.

I mean DAM...if John Denver is on your back you must be doing something really F*&Ked up lol!

[Razersun]

If Al went down on Tipper more, this committee would have never even happened. Sometimes the solution is simple. Al, grit your teeth and lick that smelly bonch, do it for your country.

[mrhoffame]

@Razersun LOL well said my friend lol1

[rebelwithoutacause44]

man i dont know who invented that "pmrc" of whatever the fuck it is but they should be smacked across the head with a fuckin B.C. RICH warlock... hey its one of the heviest guitars their is

[texaslocoman1]

Dee has been married to the same wife for more than 2 decades, Al Gore and Clinton are dirt bags

[texaslocoman1]

Dee can kick Al Gore and Obama's ass the envirommental nut jobs

[mrhoffame]

Man! These dam Gores think it is their life purpose to control every aspect of our lives! What they hell is their problem?

What I find even more funny that that people like that , especially old AL, is that they tell us the way to solve all of our problems is to basically NOT live like them? lol. It bad to leave big carbon footprints with private planes, cars, 9 million dollar houses to heat and cool, making millions a year. Didn't I just describe Mr Gore's life? LOL WTF

[knightryderrwn]

Dee's a lot brighter than he looks, isn't he??

[LordMalice6d9]

Dee Snider is a true American patriot unlike all these other traitors in the U.S congress.

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

al and tipper divorced and al gore jr busted for drugs

[archelonprime]

Dee Snider showed all of those politicians and the PMRC the amount of respect they deserved: NONE WHATSOEVER!!!!!!!!

[eleanorvenables]

Dee for President!

[BlueJ84]

does anyone know where i could find the entire pmrc debate? i keep finding this segment, which is great by the way, but i really just want to watch Dee tear those people apart not just hear him tell about it

[IcedPhoenix666]

I wonder what the "O" rating meant...

[BlueJ84]

@IcedPhoenix666 occult

[IcedPhoenix666]

@BlueJ84 Ohhh Ok... dangerous stuff... LOL

[watchmerock1]

@IcedPhoenix666 Occult themes

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

@IcedPhoenix666

occult

[mikerules666]

Most of the people that listen to these songs have enough common sense not to take these lyrics seriously. If you think, for example, that just because Ozzy sings about drinking yourself to death, that you should do it, then, you have to see a shrink and admit yourself into an institution. These songs are made for entertainment purposes only. They are not meant for you to follow them like a dog on a leash. Kids need to be taught this at an early age.

[mrhoffame]

The way I see it. If a PC sticker and the song "We're not gonna Take It" is all that stands between your child being safe and successful ....OR.... becoming a drug addicted loser that becomes a prostitute and a drop out? ....that dam kid is not gonna make it in this world anyway. Might as well perform a retro abortion.

[mikerules666]

ALL BANDS, WHETHER ROCK OR HIP HOP, HAVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE WHATEVER KIND OF SONGS THEY CHOOSE. THE PMRC AND CONGRESSIONAL SUB-COMMITTEES ALWAYS TRY TO FIND BAD THINGS IN THIS MUSIC BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO. IT'S UP TO THE INDIVIDUAL TO DETERMINE WHAT THE MESSAGE OF A SONG IS. JUST BECAUSE A SONG IS ABOUT SUICIDE, DOESN'T MEAN PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DO IT. IF EVERYONE DID THAT, THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY FANS LEFT TO BUY THE ALBUMS. I'M GLAD THERE ARE GUYS LIKE DEE SNIDER AROUND.

[sliversophie]

1:53 I'm in love ^^

[IcyScythe]

fuck censorship

[myrkvarg]

Mercyful Fate is also a metal band. Why didn't they add Mercyful fate to the "metal list". Sam Dunn is a good filmmaker, but he sucks at genres.

[FromHalo2halo]

@myrkvarg mercyful fate are also SHIT, listen to some realy metal you pussy

[myrkvarg]

@FromHalo2halo Ok, you're a fucking idiot. Mercyful Fate is kickass, and is one of the most important bands in developing metal. And your metalcore and deathcore is not real metal, so you're the pussy here listening to shit.

[myrkvarg]

@FromHalo2halo And Slipknot (shitfuck) is the worst, most overrated crap-band in history.

[FromHalo2halo]

@myrkvarg mercyful fate mean absolutely nothing, there is no depth to their lyrics or their music, at least slipknot have some decent lyrics and, at least judging by their first album, some of the best music in history.

also, IN HISTORY, what are you retarded, that's some bullshit claim to make

[myrkvarg]

@FromHalo2halo Hahaha! Are you fucking joking me? You haven't read any Mercyful Fate lyrics if you claim something like this. And slipknot DECENT LYRICS? HAHAHAHAHA! Omg, you are retarded. I have never read such a failure before. Seriously, shitfucks lyrics are shit, and so is all the crappy, overrated fail-music. Only teenage girls like yourself listens to such repetitive, monotonous crap, so seriously, back off kid. You don't know what you're talking about here.

[macio000]

Dee is better than bush...

[butterknucklez]

isnt mercyful fate metal?

[sobman]

@butterknucklez

most people wont consider it metal, but it's widely accepted

[myrkvarg]

@butterknucklez Indeed it is. And one of the best bands!

[pdxtone]

Even Dee Snider did more for America than Tipper Gore ever did.

[AirwarriorX2]

OMG AL GORE FUCK HIM AND His global warming bull shit.

[007Mechanix]

@AirwarriorX2

Yeah, I agree. Stupid gore and global warming.

[sobman]

@007Mechanix

It's funny. NASA came out and said global warming is real. But all that dont mean shit when AirwarriorX2 says it's bullshit.

That guy for president.

[mendelbot]

The anti-rock movement should have been more on the ball. They should have been cracking down on those degenerate artists. Big mistake, genie is out of the bag.

Now their filth is piped through every speaker which cover ever square meter in every city in western civilization. What's the point of free speech if we don't have the discrimination to listen?

[giggletronics]

Yeah, let that genie out of the bag. All the stories have genies living inside of BAGS.

[itanimullitenretni]

@mendelbot

exactly. plus, how about being a parent and guiding your OWN children. deferring your paternal responsibilities to the government is the opposite of responsible and it's people like that that ruin our society.

[mendelbot]

Well I think people who don't guide what their children listen to help breed self-righteous hedonists like Dee Snider.

It's a simple choice we have to deal with. Either we choose virtue freely, or the state decides for us how we live. It's just a question of power, it has nothing to do with what I do or do not advocate.

[fprintf]

Dude, we miss you on the radio here in Hartford, CT... come back!

[FairMindedWatcher]

"Tipper Gore is a whore." I think I still have that t-shirt.

[ErrorNotification]

i lived through 80's bands and fucking loved it

[pwnageprata]

she was looking for masochism LOL luv this guy i am gay for him

[thesubcultured]

you couldn't even mention what move you lifted this clip from?

[FrogWardLK]

could be wrong but i think it might be, Metal: A Headbanger's Journey

[warwolf667]

Clip is from the documentary "Metal - a headbangers journey", would also recomend his other documentarys Global Metal and "Iron Maiden - Flight 666"

[thor52879]

Congress has way too much time on their hands. Whether they are investigating rock musicians or baseball players, they are never doing what is in the best interest of the nation.

[dementedpianist]

he's going on and on and on about how his speech was so awesome and had the whole committee in rapture...... i'd actually like to SEE it, though, not just 15-second sound bites

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

@dementedpianist

transcript avaliable online

[frankenstrat25]

@dementedpianist i wish too. i recently did my research paper on this stuff and i was disgusted with what i found. they actually stopped filming Dee at times because he was the only one part of the group that was targeted by the PMRC so they thought he didnt deserve his testimony to be recorded. but instead each one of their testimonies were no less as great. the PMRC was a terrible group it was basically a 3 year old vs an expert in these hearings

[franco19a]

@dementedpianist shit the lil of wut i heard dee say in this video was good enough for me, shit.

ROCK ON!!

[XxMafiaSoljaxX]

@dementedpianist your still listening to rock and heavy metal..............dee rocked the man !!

[jerudoriginal91]

@dementedpianist Here you go watch?v=8FbBpvoYKpc here is Dee Snider's PMRC Senate Hearing.

[MultiChief1]

@dementedpianist wikipedia has the whole testimony of dee, frank zappa, and john denver, if you haven't already found it.

[Ammobarer]

@dementedpianist There are videos of his whole testimony. Just search for Dee Snider PMRC Senate Hearing. There are three videos.

[Ammobarer]

@dementedpianist Search: Dee Snider PMRC Senate Hearing. There are three videos, all of them different.

[Kruezoraxe]

@dementedpianist It's on the related videos.

[nananaface]

[elephantpuke]

Fuckin' A

[rikardiito]

US congress = PWNED!!

[sch98]

Braveheart baby!!!!!!

[TheCocaColaCan]

The parents there and the press were laughing and smiling at him as he walks in, and he starts reading his speech, and their faces freeze and they're like "WHAT THE F*CK?!"

"Mz Gore was looking for sadomasochism and bondage, and she found it."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Theshiggityshwa]

GET... FUCKIN... OWNED...

[911AmericanSoldier]

Left Leaning democrats love to forget this whole Witch Hunt these days

Remember the GORES lead this Crusade, not anyone on the Right!

[AMDfreak27]

Dee Snider is not only a metal god but a standard bearer of the metal faith and has done battle on all our behalf and won, i salute you sir \m/

[sonor1981]

[Beardog1991]

SMF FOR LIFE

[kiliodoulos26]

[TheMaidenfan666]

Tipper Gore is such a douche...

[johnkimble2007]

The PTA sucks

[thegirl44]

Gail Sloatman and the Zappa Family Trust are breaking the law by making copyright claims against the PMRC hearings of the 1980's.

Please google "ZFT petition" and sign to keep these individuals from committing this crime against our democratic rights and freedoms.

[myrkvarg]

METAL FOREVER!

[killu2death69]

now...is that Tipper GORE...or Tipsy Whore?

[2656music2656]

wow that was retarded

[toofastforlove81]

yea she is kinda on the whorish side...

[nosoup4u551]

al gore is always getting burned on. its great

[footballkg24]

if you ask me, if Dee Snider can kick Al Gore's ass in debating, DEE SHOULD BE ELECTED AS PRESIDENT

[Dyeballer610]

FUCK YEA. THEN EMINEM HAHA

[PuerinTheHunter]

Well, anything deserved to be elected as president in place of Al Gore, really.

[RIPmyers]

Very good and cool interview!

[blacksabbathfan119]

Dee Snider !!!!!!!!!!

[sillysp8]

I supported Gore for 2000 but he was a total fuck head when it came to music.

[SuperDroogie187]

The irony of the PMRC's crusade is the fact that the "sticker" that was supposed to damage the sales of these kind of albums ended up INCREASING the sales of them! As they say, ANY publicity is good publicity, and the PMRC basically handed it to the metal genre on a silver platter!
