wtf is Dee Snider's prob?

[cardinal]

I think his point is that, to his mind, if you weren't in the band when the band reached it's most significant achievements/popularity, then you shouldn't leave that band andlater make your claim to fame by having played in the band.

I'm not sure that's a valid point, but I think that's what Dee is saying. I don't think I agree with it because it all depends. For example, was White Snake at its best in the 80s simple because it was popular? Is popularity then the end-all-be-all measure of artistic success? I don't think so.

Dee need to give Doug a break not many guys can play the apocalyptic shock and awe licks of Eddie O'jayda !

 

[crwnedblasphemy]

Yeah, if Deez Nuts point was don't be introduced as Doug Aldrich(lion , hurricane, whitesnake, duo, Revolution Saints) because you weren't on last in line, over the edge, s/t albums of the height of those bands you shouldn't affiliates with them is stupid.

It's like saying to the average Joe, don't build a resume. If you worked at IBM after the 80's then don't put that on your resume cuz you weren't part of their height.

Therefore Vai should never say he was in whitesnake either.

 

[journeyman73]

whole thing is silly.

someone other than doug decided that Whitesnake should continue. Doug was a guitarist in Whitesnake. Pretty simple.

is he relevant to Whitesnakes golry days? of course, not - he wasnt the guitarist in the band then...but he was for several albums and played some sort of role in those albums...i dont think Doug is claiming anything else.

if one wants to say 'yeah, but Whitesnake has been irrelevant for years'....ok, but thats not a 'doug' thing, per-se.

I like that Dee speaks his mind but this was a stupid comment to make without knowing what Dough has contributed to WS. To his defense I can see where he's coming from. I knew little of Doug really or who he played with until fairly recently with all of the YT clips and people talking about his playing.

Dee's 15 minutes were up in the 80's and his band was horrible...sorry TS fans but they don't play music and honestly they were a fairly weak band.

thats the irony of the whole thing....its not exactly like Dee or his band has been 'relevant' for a long time

Yup. They had a hit song for a minute. Congrats. They made some cash. Doesn't give him the right to talk shit. Very average talentwise band at best..that's probably giving them too much credit.

poor form.

 

[TrueTone500]

Oh, the drama...

 

[skoora]

I didnt read exactly what was said but know Dee to be a publicity whore (gotta pay the bills and keep up the car/motorcycle collection i guess) but just because you didnt like Twisted Sister's music, doesnt mean they were irrelevant. I think they have quite a few killer songs that i'll be listening to for a long time to come, where i dont care for any of the Whitesnake with Aldrich on it. Doug seems like a very nice guy but his playing, at least in Whitesnake, i found very one dimensional and his tone is too saturated for my taste. Plus youtube recent footage of twisted sister live and Dee performs and sings, IMO anway, better than most a 1/3rd his age (singing, the overlong between song banter I never liked).

 

[mdc1mdc11]

I do know one thing though, Aldrich is no John Sykes, A Vandenburg, or Steve Vai that's for sure. Good guitarist but not on that level IMHO

 

[eraserhead101]

bsidse from the Drama

It's two grown men that are on twitter arguing about there feeling give me a break.

I'm not even that old yet and miss the days before all this so social media BS.

sorry,Dee sucked.still does,,HOW do you even compare guitar tone between TS and WS with or with out doug.or anything that doug was involved in for that matter.,, your Signature C.C.Deville Crate amp must be your #1 go to after a statement like that...j\k

[BrentSSL]

Its Alot that's his problem lol most of these 80s band people need to just play music and collect the money.

 

[rlord1974]
