TWISTED SISTER - "Twisted Christmas Shows Will Not Be Performed This Year"
October 13, 2010, 14 years ago
TWISTED SISTER have issued the following tour update:
"We sincerely regret that due to a variety of scheduling and venue issues, our annual Twisted Christmas shows will not be performed this year.2010 will go down as perhaps our best year since the reunion and for that we thank all of our old fans and the hundreds of thousands of new ones that we created this year around the world. We are also very excited about the upcoming South American tour this November and December."
For those who “stayed hungry” for the riotous rock of Long Island’s loudest band, Eagle Rock Entertainment are ready to satiate. Twisted Sister: Live At Wacken – The Reunion will be unleashed as a DVD/CD set on October 26th.
Twisted Sister established itself as a band to be heard AND seen. Their instantly recognizable image, fiery live shows, and a string of highly successful albums loaded with defiant anthems rocketed them to stardom before their split in the late eighties.
In 2003, the classic line-up of lead vocalist Dee Snider, guitarists Jay Jay French and Eddie “Fingers” Ojeda, bassist Mark “The Animal” Mendoza, and drummer AJ Pero joined forces yet again and took the stage at the Wacken Open Air Festival in Germany. 110 minutes thick with riffage and rebellion, this DVD/CD reissue of the concert, which was previously released in 2005, was the first filmed performance of the fully revitalized, post-millenial Twisted Sister.
Live At Wacken is the full experience of the band’s reunification. Fans are treated not only with live footage of Wacken on the DVD, but snippets of other performances and interviews chronicling the story of their reunion after so many years. The accompanying CD, Live…Past & Present, completes the package, encapsulating the band’s history with vintage live tracks from Detroit and Porchester in 1980, London in 1982, and the 2003 Wacken performance.
