https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/business/work/twisted-sister-frontman-dee-snid...The Twisted Sister versus Clive Palmer stoush has revved up again.
The frontman for the legendary 80s rockers Dee Snider has now revealed the businessman turned politician was aware he had to pay a licence fee to use their 1984 smash We’re Not Gonna Take It for his television ads.
Palmer has incensed the band with his unauthorised use of their song, rewritten as Australia’s Not Gonna Cop It, on ads for his United Australia Party.
Snider and the band’s manager Jay Jay French were alerted to the song’s use by fans and revealed on social media they did not endorse Palmer’s party and had not given permission for the clunky reimagination of their anti-authority anthem.
Palmer went rogue with his defence of his version of the song and told the American band to stay out of Australian politics.
“If [Twisted Sister] attempt to use my lyrics in any of their songs, I’ll not hesitate to take legal proceedings against them,” he said.
“As foreigners, they should stay out of Australian domestic politics and stay where they are. Aussies are not going to cop it at all!”
he steals their music changes the words to it.. and then CLAIMS IT AS HIS OWN>>
shows what an aroogant arsehole this guy is..
