This became the band’s most successful record with the hits “We’re Not Gonna Take It” and “I Wanna Rock”.

In 1997, Snider began hosting The House of Hair, a syndicated 1980s hard rock/heavy metal radio show on over 200 radio stations across North America. It is syndicated by the United Stations Radio Networks. The show’s format runs two or three hours depending on which version of the show a radio station carries and features Snider’s closing catchphrase: “If it ain’t metal, it’s crap!”
From June 1999 to August 2003, Snider hosted a morning radio show on a Hartford, Connecticut, Clear Channel station, Radio 104 (104.1 FM WMRQ), called Dee Snider Radio. His show returned to the air at night in August 2004 on 93.3 WMMR in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, until June 2005.
He fondly referred to his listeners as his “Peeps”, and “DEE” euro stickers, printed by the station, could be seen on the bumpers of his fans’ cars throughout Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts.

Other members of the morning show included Nick Lentino, Beth Lockwood, “Psycho Dan” Williams, Sean Robbins, and “Darkside Dave” Wallace. He frequently featured high-profile guests, including Ozzy Osbourne, pro wrestler Mick Foley, and Kiss singer/bassist Gene Simmons.
In 2003, he appeared with actor Arnold Schwarzenegger at campaign events during his drive to recall incumbent California Governor Gray Davis. Snider sang the Twisted Sister hit “We’re Not Gonna Take It”, which was adopted by the Schwarzenegger campaign.
On the May 15, 2011, episode of The Apprentice, Snider appeared to assist John Rich with his final challenge. He starred in a commercial featuring a mock audition where he came on as himself, and after drinking a soda turns into the lead singer from Twisted Sister (himself). Snider agreed to come because he is personal friends with Rich and wanted to support the charity effort for St. Jude Medical Center.
