Video was blocked had to edit it like this to get it through guys thanks for staying and supporting

Dee Snider, the lead singer, went before Congress defending musicians from censorship by the FCC. This was a song that really tried to send a message that music can't be restrained.

The father is reprising his role as the "asshole" military guy from the movie Animal House

Epic!!! A rastafari dressing music lover doing the Carlton dance to Twisted Sister🔥🔥🔥

Dee Snider was a family friend when I was a kid. He gave my sister and I an autographed record as a gift one time. I also remember being maybe around 10 years old and going to Church on Easter Sunday. Dee Snider was a few rows behind me wearing a pink suit with his crazy blonde hair teased out. Stood out like a sore thumb!

Dee Snider the singer is one of the most intelligent rock stars...back in the 80s al gores wife was trying to censor music and he spoke on behalf of artists...she was hoping to parade Dee in front of the cameras and show how bad rock music was...he walked in like a kid in detention, even had his statement folded up in his back pocket...then proceeded to not only counter the argument with logic and intelligence but lowkey gave her the finger without her realizing it and made the whole ordeal look stupid...highly recommend watching the footage of it...

"A Twisted Sister pin on your uniform?" 🤣... What most people don't understand is the opening is an exact depiction of what it was like to be a metalhead in the 80's. Parents, teachers and adults everywhere couldn't understand and this is the type of criticism we received on a daily basis. We had to fight for our right to exist.

Also his name is Mark Metcalf. He’s an actor and he’s been in a lot of 80’s movies

Dee Snider played a big part of helping us keep rock and roll alive !! he fought in the courts!! i dont care for his music but as a man i respect him !! for what he did!!

The anthem for those my age. More aimed at parents, teachers and the music industry for putting age restrictions on music.

Al Gore's wife led an effort in the 80s to ban a lot of music. Dee Snider went to congress in full gear and makeup and shut them down with reason and eloquence.

I love how you got so worked up & pissed off at that asshole 🤣I'm not a huge fan of Twisted Sister but this video was the sh*t back when MTV actually played nothing but videos 24/7

Dee Snider, the lead singer, totally punked the U.S. Senate when he testified at a hearing about lyrics in music! He absolutely destroyed the politicians!

Yelling Dad is Mark Metcalf as his character "Doug Neidermeyer" from Animal House movie Genius casting! & If you've never seen the movie Animal House... it's a must see all time classic comedy

The song at the beginning is I wanna rock, also by them, and it's really good and the video is similar

I figured you'd get around to these guys eventually. They have songs that are undeniably catchy and they earned their spot. This video is a mini rocksterpiece , but they still look freaky as the day I first saw em. Love it. Mark Metcalf is the dad. He is largely known as the drill instructor from Animal House.

Mr video + twisted sister = freaking awesome 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Man you have to check out Def Leppard on your journey through 80s Rock. Their drummer lost his arm in a car accident and learned to play with one arm because the band was going to quit without him.

That is the infamous Douglas C.Niedemire National Lampoon's Animal House. He was the commander of the college ROTC program, and he gave flounder a Delta fraternity pledge student a very hard time. Twisted Sister wondered what if this guy ever had a son, how would he treat him.

If you're going to do Twisted Sister you have to do the price it's probably one of the best songs ever written

This video came out at a time where videos were a part of music releases. Mini movies, story telling via video. There’s a song called, “Video Killed the Radio Star”, that’s what happened. Did change radio. Also about the time we transitioned from cassette (and VCR tapes...movie rentals before internet) to discs.

The lead singer is Dee Snyder. He does a stripped down version of this as a fundraiser for cancer treatment that is really powerful. He also went before Congress during the 80's to protest against the PMRC and the censorship of music. He outclassed every senator/congressman there.

This song caused quite an uproar in the 80's, just like Alice Cooper's School's out, this song was scrutinized as "deplorable music and dangerous to our sensitive youth who must be protected from the devil's music" (not even joking in the slightest here). Bands like Twisted Sister and Alice Cooper were labeled as "devil worshipers and dangerous" and the PMRC spearheaded by Mary Elizabeth "Tipper" Gore (yes the wife of Al Gore) was going to take them down, make laws to prevent this "brainwashing noise" from reaching the ears of the teens of that day. It actually made it to the senate and like senates like to do, they had a hearing on the subject, invited socalled "experts to defend the good morals but... they made a HUGE mistake because they also invited Dee Snider (Twisted Sister singer) and Alice to those hearings, to get their side of the story. They likely expected to see guys in ripped jeans with wild hair and no intellect, and ooh boy were they wrong, they got 2 of the most articulate guys in rock who eloquently explained what the real issue was, and.. it wasnt their music that was the problem. Dee and Alice showed up well dressed, well prepared and happened to be very intelligent guys, the senate was not prepared to face actual logic and ... Dee and Alice won. (among others btw) A short video on that hearing ---> kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z7WTmMybtKu6oYk.html The full hearing can be found on youtube too, aswell as the Alice Cooper hearings, but this one is only 10 minutes and shows you all there is to know. You my friend, have just watched rock legends with an actual legacy that gave metal and rock the right to be heard and that influence is still going strong today. Never try to censor something you have no knowledge of, and that is exactly what they were trying to do, try.. yes, but they failed ooh so horribly lol I suggest looking into that hearing strongly, it will give you a chuckle or two for sure. Thnx for the react and upload to one of my favorite bands of the 80's, Twisted Sister is a great band, they got humor to the max (as evident in this video too) and they just rock.

LOL ... I was 21, saw them in concert once, and my mom would watch this video with us and exclaim "oh, hmm, that sure was something" 😄🎶🎸🎤

This was my Theme song growing up in the 80`s. Love it.

Neidermeyer is a character from the movie Animal House, he is iconic, and Twised Sister getting him for this video was awesome! Metal music was for the outcasts in the 70's and 80's. It was not mainstream. Great r action, it had the affect on you, they intended.

I think this song would pump anyone up that was getting bullied in school. I was bullied in high school for playing in the band. Now i play in a rock band any get to play all these cool songs. Great reaction! ✌️

Back in 2016, Dee did a touching acoustic version of this song to raise money for the fight against pediatric cancer. It is emotional and worth the listen.

I'm commenting again about A Boy Named Sue lol. I think you'd enjoy it after seeing your Devil Went Down To Georgia reaction. ♥️

When you start doing Xmas songs you’ll have to check out Twisted Sister’s holiday vids. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Soon as I get a notification and come and the comments are already loaded. Love it!!!

That actor dude was a 70s-80s movie actor who always got the "head trippin,' prick" or "control freak" roles. Usually in comedies, but he was good at it.

2:25 I love that part, where his little brother is laughing at him getting yelled at, upstairs.😂😂😂😂

Twisted Siissterrrr?? "TWIST HIS HEAD OFF!!" 😂😂 You are right tho. Bullies only have courage as long as they think they have the upper hand. I pounded my bully into the ground in the 5th grade and never had another day of trouble. Stand up for yourself!

Jammin Hat and shirt! MTV was awesome back in the day.

Mark Metcalf, who plays the father, is actually an amazing person. He plays a ton of hollywood villains while remaining a cool person in real life. The fact he's able to evoke such emotion in people is testament to his skill as an actor.

Love this song!! I seen an interview with the lead singer Dee Snyder where he said he wanted the dad in the video to be like Wyle E Coyote, lol. Where they could just keep doing all this crazy stuff to him and he never gets hurt. Pretty funny video. Great reaction!! You're Awesome!!🙂

I have the TS bone logo from the cover of stay hungry tattooed on my butt....20 years later i met dee snider and he slapped my butt and signed it and now thats tattooed too. Im almost 40 (38 on nov 10th) and its still hilarious. So everyone was wrong. Its actually funnier now

Dee Snider. The pride of Baldwin Long Island, N.Y. 🤘🤘

Need to watch the movie Animal House...the dad plays the same character...says almost the same speech to a fraternity pledge 😂

Fun fact: twisted sister is the only band to sell out Madison square garden before they signed a record deal. That's how big their fan base was.

😂 twisted sister. that is all. (this was huge at the time, I do like it!)

They call a song like this a 'Rock Anthem' - and it was a banner that we flew from the moment it hit the airwaves. LOL. Glad you could join us ;)

This brings me back to my early childhood since I was born in 1985 and my sister was a metalhead so I grew up on this music

I asked for a Twisted Sisters' album for my birthday. I got She's So Unusal by Cyndi Lauper, Van Halen's 1984 and the Gogos' Talk Show. Not a bad trade for a 10 year old!

Yay Twisted Sister 🤘 Next : Scorpions ?

The "dad" was an actor from the movie "animal house" with John Balushi. He just adapted the character to the video.

As a teen in the 1970’s I had a strict father that would not allow that ‘hippy music’ in the house. It only served to push me out and hang at friends homes. That’s one reason I enjoy reliving music from back then through your and other reaction videos, so thank you.

You tell him Mr. V. ,. He's going to get his, just wait and see!!!! Love you man💞💞💞

Respect to Dee Snider for his role in allowing us to listen freely and uncensored! Rasta Mr. Video today, mon, peace be the journey

Since the season is coming up, Twisted Sister Christmas songs!

That father at the beginning is how some parents treat their kids on quarantine. 😤🔊🔊🔊

I saw them in full drag at Camp Casey in Korea back in 2003 they rocked. We started a mosh pit during a Power ballad 🤘

We have got to get you into the Scorpions. Live 1985 concert from Oakland, Ca is a good place to start......Rock you like a hurricane- definitely! Meanwhile......turn it up! 🎼🎶🎸🤘😎🔥

Dee Snider grew up in the same town I did (30+ years about). I walked by him in the city one morning, nodded to him and said “Go Bruins” (our high school mascot). He smiled and said “go, Baldwin”. It was brief, but an incredible experience.

One of the few 80's hair bands I missed seeing live. Next, you need to peep W.A.S.P.!

Love ya ready for this reaction

Oh, we're not gonna take it No, we ain't gonna take it Oh, we're not gonna take it anymore We've got the right to choose it There ain't no way we'll lose it This is our life, this is our song We'll fight the powers that be, just Don't pick our destiny 'cause You don't know us, you don't belong Oh, we're not gonna take it No, we ain't gonna take it Oh, we're not gonna take it anymore Oh, you're so condescending Your gall is never ending We don't want nothin', not a thing from you Your life is trite and jaded Boring and confiscated If that's your best, your best won't do Whoa, oh oh Whoa, oh oh We're right (yeah) We're free (yeah) We'll fight (yeah) You'll see (yeah) Whoa, whoa, we're not gonna take it No, we ain't gonna take it Oh, we're not gonna take it anymore…

“I’m trying to play the guitar. Better my future.” 😂😂😂

The lead singer Dee was incredibly smart and very professional. Watch the "explicit lyrics" court case. Everyone expected him to be stupid but his speech floored everyone on the room.

Yesssss. Haha. This should be fun

Love your videos man! Please react to ZZ Top Sharp Dressed Man! It is such a BANGER!!!!

Dee has a new beautiful version of this song now he sings against cancer. It'll bring a tear to your eye 😍

Changed my life when I was 11. Then I released my own album 10 years later. This song is gasoline.

Ya man digg it!

you gotta do "I believe in a thing called love" by The Darkness

I feel like this video completely epitomizes EVERYTHING about the 80’s!! Totally bat shit crazy, lol! But ya gotta love it!! ✌️💗😂

The man's name is Mark Metcalf and he played Douglas C Niedermayer in Animal house. The biggest hit movie of 1978.

I was like 12 when this song came out..

I got you today❤️Tennessee

Dee Snider (the lead singer) spoke before congress in the 90s when they tried to make legislation to censor music. He showed up with his big hair, Jean jacket, and makeup and surprised everyone with his well thought out and articulate speech.

I'm forever reminded of Dave Chappelle when he talks about his white friend 'Chip'... he does a little joke about 'We're not gonna take it!'. Great bit.

I’m first! Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😂

Classic Hair Metal Band & Song. From when Metal was fairly centralized, before it blew up into a hundred different styles. Great song.

The actor in the video is Mark Metcalf...he's best known for his role in the movie Animal House...if you haven't seen it, it would be a good movie for a reaction video...I saw Twisted Sister in 2008 before AJ (the drummer) died. One of the best shows I ever saw...

😭😭😂😂 Your face when Dee Snider came on screen in the FIERCEST drag makeup ever was shock, disbelief and confusion. I live for that look 🙌🏽💥

I loved (twist his head off) .... You are one of my favorite reviewers .... You make me smile and I'm a combat vet with PTSD and smoke to go to sleep and not have bad dreams and drink too much. You help me because you always make me smile and relieve my anxiety. .... You are a good man and I appreciate you

Your face when you saw Dee Snider's outfit at the start.... DYING :D I love how these songs still get the message across.

OK this is seriously one of my favorite music reaction videos now!!! The actor who played the dad they told him to ad lib what the thought people would want to stand up against and he did an awesome job. Also, if you watch Twitsted sister videos from this time they loved looney tunes and the dad was Wile E. Coyote so to speak while Twisted Sister was the Roadrunner always outdoing him. Thus, all the flying through windows and the wall and getting water thrown on him after he lands. One I think you'd like by them is the price. Twisted sister was a band for around 15 years before they got signed they started in their teens like 15 to 16 and were in their 30s by the time they finally got signed. The price is about what it's like to dedicate your life to a dream. They wanted it to be serious but the drummer had them do some big fake drumsticks to add in the homage to looney tunes even in that video!

You don't have to take sh!t off anybody anymore - you have a whole army of 100K + and growing every day that has your back!!

The song the kid is playing in his room is their other hit single "I Want A Rock."

" The Price" by Twisted Sister is another good one.

That was BOTH of my parents when Marilyn Manson (or anythang) was blastin outta my room! I didn't get to kick em outta window, though. 🤘🏻🔥☠🔥🤘🏻

Ooohhh, snap!!! Twisted Sister!!! This is a great song!!!! Thanks for playing it!!! 🤟🎸✌️☮️❤️🍺🍺

Thanks for doing this Mr.Video🙏 This song has been the pump-up, for many a childhoods "rectifying" right-cross!!

80's glam rock at its finest 😆 And yes, that's his real hair!

Love Twisted Sister. If you got Netflix, you should check out their documentary. Twisted Sister came out of their idea to dress in drag. Dee Snider wrote the song and lyrics as a way of rebelling against all their critics. Oh, and Mark Metcalf is a great actor. He got you to react just the way he wanted.

Dee Snider (the lead singer) has an emotional version of this song to raise awareness for children's cancer you should hear, puts a completely different perspective of this song. Warning: have a tissue nearby.

The singer is Dee Snider. He's got his own radio show called The house of hair!!!! Check it out guys!!! He plays hair bands gives info on the bands!!!

lmaoooo you look so damn pissed when the dad was yelling at the son hahahaha

Dee snider is an awesome humble human being.. met him a few times at car shows and bike events.. he absolutely loves his fans Being an 80s kid who grew up listening to this it’s amazing that the new generation has the same reaction to the father ..😂

This song was prominently used by the teachers during their strikes in 2018. You can find a lot of videos of them chanting, “We’re not going to take it.”

My sound company did live sound for Dee Snyder couple years back and his voice was still amazing!

"Twisted Sister showing me the way" is the best reaction ever.

WITNESS! The glorious birth of thousands of movie montages! If it wasn't Eye of the Tiger, it was this.

2020 Anthem! LOVE that you reacted to this! Believe it or not they have one amazing Christmas Album. You have to check it out seriously. Even if you don't react to it. Its so much fun!

Brilliant and hilarious comment, I am 61 years old and still get down with the B 52s.

I love that this song is just so universally relatable to anyone who hears it

Saw them on the Stay Hungry tour in ‘84? I already really liked them but live they were surprisingly excellent and high power! It was one of the best concerts I’ve seen. And I’ve seen a lot of concerts. This is one of those bands you just have to see live to really see what they’re about. Some bands are just like that. Yeah they have cool songs, but live? It’s a whole new band, a whole new level. Most of the great bands really step it up live, but some are like sleepers that are almost shockingly good live. TWISTED SISTER caught us off guard big time!

This was my first rock band I listened to as a kid (probably around 7) along with Quiet Riot. I'm glad you enjoyed their video and song.
