🎸 This Day in Rock History — September 19, 1985, Dee Snider walked into the U.S. Senate and refused to back down. 🤘
The Twisted Sister frontman testified during the PMRC hearings, defending rock music, artistic freedom, and the rights of musicians and fans.
More than 40 years later, it remains one of rock’s defining confrontations with censorship. Here are some of the exchanges.

September 17, 1967 — The Doors performed “Light My Fire” on The Ed Sullivan Show.
Before airtime, they were asked to change one particular lyric:

Morrison sang it anyway.
Watch—and listen—for the line. 🎧
The Doors were never invited back.

🎤 Dave Mustaine — The Arsenio Hall Show, August 4, 1992.
After playing “Symphony of Destruction,” Dave Mustaine sat down with Arsenio, and the conversation got surprisingly interesting. He made a point that metalheads weren’t the problem they were a product of society.
He then went on to talk about metal fans being treated like outsiders, judged by the look, unemployment, and educated people eventually becoming overqualified for available jobs.
What’s the one thing he says that sticks out to you?
Before Slipknot became an arena monster, they brought “Wait and Bleed” to Conan in 2000 — and absolutely made their mark.🤘
That red-jumpsuit era still hits hard.🔥👀
