PROFILE: With the “flamboyant” Dee Snider on vocals and exDictator Mark “The Animal” Mendoza on bass, Twisted Sister epitomized the aggressive stance of New York’s ’70s heavy metal rock. It took them nine years—during which time they were often a laughing stock—but they persevered, and finally broke out, proving that you may not be able to stop rock ’n’ roll, but you can sure make it ugly.

BEER: Boy Howdy!
