Twisted Sister's Dee Snider has slammed Clive Palmer ahead of his Australian shows
In a world where politicians feel like they can use music from bands/artists without permission, an interesting turn of events have taken place in our own backyard with wanna-be polly Clive Palmer re-working the Twisted Sister classic 'We're Not Gonna Take It' for his political campaign advertisements here in Australia.
But, word has gotten back to the band, including frontman Dee Snider, who has slammed the party for using their song without permission:

Dee will be venturing to Melbourne in Sydney at the end of the month for a solo/spoken word tour and you can imagine just how much shit will be hitting the fan once he arrives. Guitarist/Manager Jay Jay French has also weighed in on the drama too.

In the states, Clive's kinda/sorta equivalent Donald Trump has been banned from using music by musicians like Neil Young, R.E.M., The Rolling Stones, Queen, Steven Tyler/Aerosmith and even the Twisted Sister lads too which proves if you're a shit bloke, no one wants to work with you (or have you using their legacy without permission).
No doubt this subject will be brought up at Dee Snider's Spoken Word shows too.
