Twisted Sister initially broke up in 2016, and up to now has performed one reunion present in 2023 on the Steel Corridor of Fame at The Canyon Membership in Agoura Hills. Although in keeping with Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider, the presents are getting too good for one more reunion.
In an interview with The Hook Rocks! podcast, Snider acknowledged Twisted Sister already did a farewell tour and that any band promising to not come again is just about filled with it. Snider stated there aren’t any concrete plans for a reunion, however the presents are reaching some extent the place they’re virtually simple.
“On account of all of the bands retiring and dying, the presents get larger and larger for the holdouts to return again. And we retired in 2016, I believe it was. So we’re on eight years now of not enjoying, with no intention of coming again. However — my father, he says, ‘All the things earlier than the phrase ‘however’ is bullshit — however in some unspecified time in the future, you have gotta say, ‘Effectively, how can I say no to that?'”
He continued: “Is it there but? No. Is it getting shut? Yeah. Is there speak amongst us, like, ‘Effectively, within the occasion that the numbers do get there, they usually certain as hell appear to be entering into that path, how are we gonna do that?’ So there’s just a little little bit of that dialog. And that is each bodily how we’re gonna do it and on a variety of different ranges.
“And that is a current incidence, that the dialog has gone from ‘by no means’ to ‘within the occasion that they make as a suggestion we will not refuse, what is the plan?’ And there is some very normal dialogue on that, involving private trainers [laughs], diets, hair extensions. And that is the primary time in eight years that the dialog has modified.”
Snider later added that everybody in Twisted Sister is on good phrases. So it isn’t like they’re getting on stage purely for the paycheck.
“We’re all buddies, by the best way. The surviving guys, all of us speak and we’re all buddies and we love one another. And that was one of many nice issues that got here out of getting again collectively the primary time is that we managed to repair the friendships and be buddies and that, to me, is admittedly why I needed to do it within the first place, getting again [together] final time… So, anyway, we’ll see what occurs.”
Snider has been important of bands that maintain reuniting up to now, urging them to both stick round or a minimum of have a concise goodbye.
“I did not lose the eagerness for the music,” stated Snider throughout a 2023 Q&A session on the Rock Metropolis Music Firm in Livonia, MI for his novel Frats. “I did not lose that in any respect. My final two albums, Go away A Scar and For The Love Of Steel, have been stronger and type of Dee resurging. I misplaced the willingness to get outdated on stage. I do not need you guys to observe me age out.
“I learn a evaluate as soon as that stated — and it was really a optimistic evaluate concerning the Twisted reunion, which was ages in the past now — but it surely stated, ‘When a band reunites they usually’re good, it makes you’re feeling younger once more. However after they’re unhealthy, it makes you notice how outdated you’ve got gotten.’ And other people have been coming to see Twisted and coming to see me and folks have been smiling.
“However I do know… Look, I am not a bitcher and moaner, however I’ve had knee surgical procedure, shoulder surgical procedure, throat surgical procedure, neck surgical procedure… I am unable to elevate my arms up. It hurts after I throw the horns. Fuck! It is not supposed to harm… So I would relatively stroll off with some dignity and depart you guys with a optimistic reminiscence, saying, ‘We needed extra,’ than to overstay your welcome and say, ‘Gee, when is that this man gonna get off the fucking stage, man?’
“I see folks singing ‘Loopy Nights’ they usually’re not so loopy anymore. I am not gonna title names. I all the time bitch about individuals who retire, promote us the ‘No Extra Excursions’ shirt — Ozzy — after which come again just a few years later, ‘We love you, we love you.’ That is bullshit. And other people say, ‘Effectively, that is fucked up.’ No — keep endlessly, man. Keep endlessly. We do not need you to depart. Simply do not do a three-year farewell tour — Scorpions — after which say you modified your thoughts. ‘Trigger you have not performed each place? No, you have performed each place — twice.
“Blue Öyster Cult have ‘On Tour Perpetually’ jackets. Perpetually. God bless ’em. You do it, I am not gonna be on tour endlessly. I am gonna stroll off into the sundown, waving and smiling.”
