#397: Dee Snider

The legendary Dee Snider returns to the podcast this week! We
discuss his new solo album, Leave a Scar, writing and recording it
with Jamey Jasta and his team, if he feels the "sophomore effort"
label applies to this record given his history, and how this was
the first time he has written lyrics since the Widowmaker days in
the '90s. Dee also offers his take on the recent David Ellefson
scandal, explains why he has stayed sober throughout his entire
career, his thoughts on separating the art from the artist, his
story about listening to Lzzy Hale’s live monitor mix to make sure
she was really singing live, his gripe with young bands honoring
the past by replication, and his timeline for retiring as a live
vocalist. Petar, Brandon, and Sylvia discuss the retirement of the
Dio hologram for now, the Dave Grohl vs. John Joseph Covid-19
battle, and, in honor of Aaron Lewis’s recent double performance,
we go down memory lane of artists we saw play live while hammered.
