NP. I've never heard of Twister Sister.


have you ever heard the song 'we're not gonna take it, we aint gonna take it, were not gonna take ittt anymoreeeeee'

if not...are you from the US? did you grow up here?


NP here. Never heard of the singer or the band either. Born and raised in Virginia. Age 38.


I'm 44 and in the mid-80's everyone knew who he was. He would do cameos in things and it's not like they had to say "It's Dee Snyder from Twisted Sister!" He was instantly recognizable to anyone with a TV.


No he's not. Give it a rest.

He is to GenX-ers. Not millenials.

I can't believe this thread is going on and on and no one (but OP) is talking about being personal friends with anyone famous.

Alright you're atypical, that is a very famous song, used in a lot of commercials/sporting events etc


I didn't say I hadn't heard of the song. I said I hadn't heard of the singer or band. Do you know the artist of every famous song ever sung?


I don't think it's a big deal. you were probably 5 at the height of his fame.

I agree. Too me he is very famous, like, your head is in the sand if you don’t know him.

For all the people who are going to say they don't know who they are, use Google.

And yes, I knew who Dee Snyder was - I'm 41 and I had the record when I was a little girl.

My husband is in the NBA. He is like most players and not really famous outside of the baller world. However one of his best "work friends" is an uber famous player. They met at a camo in middle school and are like brothers at this point. My husband also looks.way "more famous" when hanging out with him because it's like "o look another 6 ft 7 black guy is next to Kyrie so he's prob in the NBA too, ooo yea, that's xyz from abc." I don't envy there fame. I use to envy his deals and money but it's fine now because DH is 34 and still playing; I can't be more greedy than that.

Not seriously famous but my sister was best friends in high school and still is close with the mean red feather girl from troop Beverly Hills, not Tori spelling but the little blonde one.

My family is also close with Doug Jones. Most would never recognize him but he’s the creature in all of the Guillermo del toro films, creepy hand with eyes monster in Pans Labrynth, Abe in Hellboy, Billy Buthcherson in Hocus Pocus and the amphibian man in The Shape of Water, oh he’s the silver surfer too. He’s an incredibly nice dude and lives a pretty anonymous life while constantly working in Hollywood. Only the mega geeks and comic con people really know him.

Do you read the gossip from all the birds and sidepieces on Lipstick Alley and Baller Alert?

If so, can you tell me what's true?
