Twisted Sister’sDee Snideris not happy with theSuper Bowl LIV halftime show.
“WTF!? @shakira and @jlo for this year’s @nfl halftime show!?” the musicianwrote. “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!!”
After receiving backlash from various Twitter users, Snider added afollow-up tweet.
“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!” he continued, adding, “And I don’t think I’m popular enough for that slot. But @Metallica…”

Ina third tweet, Snider slammed rapperJAY-Z, who is partnering with the NFL through his entertainment and sports company Roc Nation. The NFL signed a deal setting the company as the league’s “live music entertainment strategist” to consult on entertainment, including the Super Bowl halftime show, and contribute to the NFL’s activism initiative, Inspire Change.
“To add insult to injury, Jay Z is promoting this year’s @NFL Super Bowl half time show (no problem with that) and his company is called …ROCK NATION?!” Snider tweeted, adding the hashtag “#Wherestherock?”
Snider alsotweeteda list of rock bands he thought would make a good halftime show, including AC/DC, Guns N’ Roses and the Foo Fighters.
“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,” hetweetedin February. “NONE of those bands have EVER played half-time show!”

“This is gonna be so much fun!” Lopez, 50, exclaimed before raving about Shakira. “She’s such a dynamic performer, she does her own thing.”
“There’s nobody like her so I know that the two of us together are going to bring that special brand of what we do and there will be people who haven’t even seen us perform who get to see something special that night,” she continued. “It’s going to be an exciting show.”
“That’s what you can expect,” Lopez went on. “When you think about Shak and you think about what I do, the combination of that, I think of an explosion of fun and energy!”
