Guitar International's Rob Cavuoto has issued a new interview with TWISTED SISTER guitarist Eddie Ojeda. An excerpt follows:
Q: Twisted Sister has been quite busy putting out some great live DVDs – Double Live (NY Steel 9/11 and North Stage 1982) and the upcoming Marquee Club ‘83. Tell me about them and why now is the right time to release everything?
A: "It’s been in the archives for years and much of the stuff we didn’t even know we had. Lately there seems to be a demand for it. We’re always being asked when Twisted Sister will be doing new music and we have certain views about that. All our old music from the ‘80s is so engraved in people’s heads that if we were to come out with the greatest new CD, it would always be compared to our old songs.
New material from older bands doesn’t do what people expect it to. It works for young new artists whose fans are into it. Our fan base is really into what they know like Under The Blade and our anthems. So we’d rather go back and find stuff that we know our fans will enjoy. Some of this stuff is real raw; it was before digital with just one of two cameras. It doesn’t have the production value that we would have liked but it does have that “rawness” which is really cool and vintage. NOS – New Old Stuff."
