In his interview, Snider stated that he lost his motivation and planned to quit recording new materials and performing live shows but he found the right inspiration for producing new works during the global pandemic. Also, he recalled one of the hardest times of his life and talked about what he did to survive. In 1987, Snider left Twisted Sister, their contract was canceled and the band also disbanded.
Moreover, Snider revealed that he couldn’t earn any money for a long time during the hiatus of Twisted Sister. He had to borrow money to keep his family alive while he was struggling with a serious financial crisis even though he was one of the most famous and popular heavy metal frontmen. So, Dee Snider did everything to be able to take care of his caring wife and lovely children back then.
Dee Snider stated in the interview that:
“I lost everything in the early 90s and I was broke and the band fell apart. I was struggling and started a year with zero-dollar income. I was borrowing money to keep my family alive. I had still an oasis. I have these wonderful children who were happy to see me when I came through the door. So, I have made some good choices and to have that really carry me through all the more difficult times.”
