Twisted Sister guitarist Jay Jay French recently appeared on Episode #130 of Pod Scum. During the hour long interview, which can be seen below, French revealed that the band's classic debut album from 1982, Under The Blade, will receive an expanded 40th anniversary reissue in 2023.
"That's gonna be a double vinyl album," said French. "And one of those albums is gonna have us playing cover material from back in the bar days, which we've never released before. So you're gonna have us playing Zeppelin and Aerosmith songs, which no one has ever heard. So I think people will appreciate that."
