Jesse Blaze Rocks the Cradle Again!

He’s UNTOUCHABLE AGAIN! If you’ve been watching MTV’s “Rock The Cradle” (Thursdays at 10pm Eastern/Pacific) you’d know that Dee Snider’s son Jesse Blaze Snider is, in dad’s words, bringin’ ass-kicking to the table. Jesse is safe AGAIN this week due to his first place finish for his cover of Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It”. That means that this is the second week in a row where you don’t even have to vote for your favorite - he’s a lock! After giving Daddy Dee and Mommy Suzette a near heart attack by telling them he was gonna do the song acoustically in the style of Crosby Loggins, Jesse ripped off his jacket and ripped into some true Snider-style headbanging! Seriously, does anyone even come close to Jesse Blaze in terms of talent? No….we don’t think so either!
