Twisted Sister’s Dee Snider expressed disdain for NFL’s decision to have Jennifer Lopez and Shakira perform at the Super Bowl.
When the National Football League announced the halftime performers, the musician tweeted his disapproval. “WTF!? @shakira and @jlo for this year’s @nfl halftime show!?” he tweeted. “Once again the great heavy music that rocks the stadiums week after week, game after game is completely ignored. I guess we don’t shake our ass enough!!”

Hey @NFL! Your go-to songs at EVERY game are metal: Enter Sandman, Cum On Feel the Noise, Thunder, Crazy Train, We’re Not Gonna Take It, We Are the Champions, Final Countdown, I Wanna Rock, We Will Rock You, Welcome to Jungle. NONE of those bands have EVER played half-time show!

My point about this years @NFL halftime show isn’t a slight on @shakira or @JLo, it’s frustration that week after week rock is the go to music during games but gets no respect when it comes to the Super Bowl! And I don’t think I’m popular enough for that slot. But @Metallica…

Snider also hated on this year’s halftime show by Maroon 5, saying rock bands are majorly overlooked.
