Sleaze Roxx has issued an interview with TWISTED SISTER guitarist Eddie Ojeda. The following is an excerpt from the interview:
Q: You're just back from touring Europe with Vampires Rock. How did you get involved with that?
A: "I got involved with that through Paul Crook. He plays with MEAT LOAF now as the main guitarist, he used to play with ANTHRAX for a while. Through him I met the lead guy from Vampires Rock, Steve Steinman. I met him in Vegas and we kept in touch. He does this in the fall, starts in September and finishes in December. It's based around Halloween."
Q: What's the show about?
A: "It's kind of like Rocky Horror but not as gay. Rocky Horror meets We Will Rock You sort of thing. There's a little bit of pantomime, some jokes in the air and dialog. We do a lot of rock anthems. We did 'Burn In Hell' and 'We're Not Gonna Take It' when I came in. During the night you'll hear QUEEN, BON JOVIE, WHITESNAKE songs, and speed anthems. It's a really great show. We have three girls in the show with a cast of maybe eleven or twelve people. There is a live band on stage. I play the guitar along with two other guitarists. It's a cool show. Its funny and I had a lot of fun doing it. It is somewhere between theater and a live concert."
Q: So, what's next for you?
A: "Well like I said I'm planning to work on a solo CD and possibly do some dates. I'd like to get on a tour maybe doing something with MICHAEL SCHENKER. We'll see what happens. There won't be a new album with Twisted Sister. We're basically sticking with the material we have and playing that instead of trying to reinvent the wheel."
Q: So you don't think that's ever a possibility?
A: "I'd never say never, but I don't see it happening anytime soon, but we'll see. I plan to continue making records so you'll hear new stuff from me."
