Dee Snider at least had the conviction to stand up in front of Congress (Along with John Denver and Frank Zappa) to defend against music censorship (fuck you Tipper Gore). He's not exactly a radical leftist but he's been consistently pro-Ukraine and vocally opposed to Trump (and George W. before that)
