Probably Twisted Sister is not the best band ever; but I laugh out loud listening to their music and watching them in live shows. A few bands can do that.

I saw their shows when they came to Spain in 2005 and 2006. I enjoyed a lot. The make-up is a fundamental part of the shows.

I knew you’d like it

For those too afraid and view it (Hi Karen), I’ll fill you in… it’s a play on the original “We’re not gonna take it” video and a must see for sure.

Hey SeanRox -

Your right, the actual music video is much better.

Hey Nate.

The live Jay Leno video is good but you need to check out the actual music video for it… you can find it on YouTube or Google video.

Hey fellow metal head.
Just saw their live video of Oh Come All Ye Faithful. Pretty hilarious.

Metallica is okay. I’m more of an old school fan (anything before the Black album I can tolerate.) I prefer Slayer over them any day.

yes, if I close my eyes and just listen to the music, I suppose Twisted Sister is alright. I just can’t stand looking at them…lol…

Hey Karen. I never said Twisted Sister were masters of vocal per portions but a lot of their songs have really good hooks and get people jumping and shaking which is always good.

The make up is a little too much for some people but it’s about being an entertainer and providing some visual excitement for the people watching the show. Kiss was great for this… they always gave you one hell of a stage show along with some good music.

Metallica is one of my favorite bands but I have to say, after the black album they started to go into a direction I wasn’t pleased with… and James is a good singer… I like him a lot.

lol… I can’t believe you like Twisted Sister, Sean… I was never much into them or Kiss… their vocal ability, imho, leaves a lot to be desired plus the makeup thing… yuck!

Now if I was to pick just one metal band that I really like it would have to be Metallica… James Hetfield can sing!

Hey Devin… of course I’ve seen the video.

It’s a shame Twisted Sister won’t be releasing anymore music but after a 30 year career in metal, I think it’s ok for them to take a break but I sure do miss 1980′s and early 1990′s metal.

I saw Twisted Sister a few times live “back in the day”. Very good live and one hell of a stage show.

I’m hoping you’ve seen the vid for Ye Faithful?

Hi Brandon.

Indeed the Bob Rivers stuff is really good.

I love the “I am Santa Claus” song.

If you can think of others, let me know.

When I first read your post title, I immediately thought of Bob Rivers' Twisted Christmas, who have released Christmas classics such as "Osama Got Run Over by a Reindeer", "I am Santa Claus" (a cover of Black Sabbath's Iron Man), and "Walkin' 'Round in Women's Underwear".
