"Twisted Sister is an American hair metal band from New York City. Their work fuses the shock tactics of Alice Cooper, the rebellious mood of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, and the extravagant image of glam rock bands such as New York Dolls notably for the makeup. Musically, the band implements elements of traditional heavy metal bands such as Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, along with a style that is similar to early glam metal bands. The band is generally categorized as glam metal for their earlier work, although the band does not consider themselves to be so."
The above is from Wikipedia, the place where we all nowadays trust we get real information and facts about almoust anything. Yeah, well. Whatever.
It is funny that a band, formed back in 1972, is accused of being a copycatter of bands that I guess they never had heard or seen of back in the early seventies... Strangely enough, in 1984 when the album "Stay Hungry" was released I was so brainwashed that I believed all of that crap too.
The album "A Twisted Christmas" was released in 2006, and is well worth listening to. I chose "Heavy Metal Christmas", but all of them are good.
Twisted Sister also did "I'll be home for christmas" with the wonderful Lita Ford, in 2008:
Kind of getting the feeling that they are getting old – as they surely are – but for some reason I still like this one. Could the reason be that I am getting old too? No fucking way! If Lita Ford, who's played with basically EVERYONE since the early stoneage still roxx like this, being 50+ I am going to live forever.
And as a small bonus, Lita show you how to test a guitar before not buying it:
