Twisted Sister's Dee Snider was subject to a little skewering Thursday night (Jan. 24), but it was all for a good cause as the Revolver / Guitar World Rock & Roll Roast raised funds for the MusiCares organization.

Snider sat upon his throne throughout the evening as a dais of rockers, comedians and actors each took their shots at the singer. Snider's 'Celebrity Apprentice' pal Penn Jillette hosted the evening, which featured last year's roastee Zakk Wylde, as well as Anthrax's Scott Ian, Lita Ford, 'That Metal Show' co-hosts Eddie Trunk and Jim Florentine, Snider's son Shane, and comedians Jim Norton and Craig Gass. Plus, actor Mark Metcalf was on hand to provide his salute, delivering his "Whaddya want to do with your life?" speech before introducing Snider and the panel.

In addition, Alice Cooper, Lorenzo Lamas, Sebastian Bach, Donald Trump, "Weird Al" Yankovic, Steel Panther, Brande Roderick, Chris Jericho and Gene Simmons all sent in video tributes.

Jillette opened the night citing the "motley crew" that made up the dais, before apologizing to Snider for mentioning "a real rock and roll band." Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian had perhaps the line of the night, telling the audience, "Twisted Sister tribute bands don’t exist because no one wants to play the same two songs over and over.” Gass also provided a zinger, stating, "Somewhere in America, there's a county fair with an empty stage." Alice Cooper, appearing via a video tribute, took his own jab at Snider, congratulating him on his "regionally successful music career," while Lita Ford showed her concern for Snider telling him she hoped that menopause hadn't affected his singing voice.

The Twisted Sister frontman wasn't the only target however, as Zakk Wylde told the singer's son Shane he was worried about his future, adding, "Those are some big gay shoes to fill." Florentine singled out another rocker, explaining "I thought Scott Ian came to my house, but it was a garden gnome." And Norton offered up a dig at Ford, stating, "You can tell Lita is a Ford because no one has wanted to get inside her since the early '80s."

Snider, however, had some revenge at the end of the night, targeting Jim Norton with one of his best barbs. The rocker joked, "Jim Norton's career is going so poorly, he's opening for my son, Shane."
