Dee Snider says that the heavy metal genre isn’t respected enough by the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.
The singer made the following status on his Twitter page, saying:
“The RnR Hall committee members are arrogant elitist assholes who look down on metal & other bands that sell millions because we’re not their definition of cool. The fan vote is their ‘throwing a bone’ to the peasants.
”I want to say FU, but I want them to have to deal with us!”
When one fan suggested that the Rock Hall “caters to the masses,” Snider responded:
“If they were catering to the masses they would have the biggest-selling bands. Corporate rock bands that sell tens of millions are ignored because they aren’t ‘cool’. The fact is the RnR Hall of Fame is struggling. Was it crowded when you were there? It wasn’t when I went.”
