Video: Disturbed's David Draiman and Device Sound Off on Rock & Roll Roast Honoree Dee Snider
In anticipation of the upcoming Rock & Roll Roast of Dee Snider, we asked Disturbed vocalist David Draiman to share his thoughts on the man of the hour — Snider himself.
Here's Draiman, shown with his Device bandmates Will Hunt and Virus, praising the Twisted Sister frontman, calling him one of hard rock's "most enigmatic" frontmen. See what else the band says in the video below.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit MusiCares, a nonprofit organization of The Recording Academy that provides emergency financial assistance and addiction recovery resources to music people in need. Snider was recently named one of the 100 greatest living rock stars by Revolver.
