THE KIDS ARE BACK I like to think of it as a DVD with a bonus CD. This is sold as a CD with a bonus DVD. The CD is okay, but the DVD is so motherf**ken cool. The additude is vicious rock n' roll. Dee, Jay Jay, and Eddie seem to have retained their youthful physiques. However poor Eddie "fingers" Ojeda the former babyface now looks like the oldest member, but that doesn't stop him from churning out the high speed licks. Drummer A J Pero's weight gain is only revealed at the end of the show, but you would never guess by the way he attacks those skins. And finally Mark (the animal) Mendoza who in the past sported the look of a huge scary Italian woman, is the only one not wearing twisted garb, instead he wears a goatie, shades, pony tail, S. W. A. T. like attire, and an extra 40 pounds of body weight. But man can he dominate that huge four stringer. If you even remotely like Twisted Sister this DVD will definitely notch up your fandom. But a warning to people offended by bad language, Dee Snider and Jay Jay French pull no punches about how they feel about the music industry and their promoters. THE concert dvd that should be in every serious rock fans collection. And when I say serious rock fan, that excludes fans of American Idol. Because if you like that stuff, you simply can't be serious. Even the classic line-up of The Wiggles with Greg Page rocks harder than American Idol.
Can't stop Watching!!
I have always been a pretty big fan, but I have never got to see TS live,(they have never played within 500 miles of me!) but I have Big Hits and Nasty Cuts, and I love the energy in the live recordings on that disc. I purchased this not really knowing what to think. All I can say is WOW!! They put on an amazing show!! I have had this disc for one week, and I have watched the DVD five times already! If you even remotely like Twisted Sister, you owe it to yourself to pick up a copy of this live performance.
Now if they would just put together a decent American tour!! .
Awesome!!!
This product just Rocks! Good quality, excellent material, great band, what else can I say?.
SICK AND TWISTED
Twisted Sister is, and has always been, an amazing live band. Live at the Astoria shows what Smf's around the world have known all along. There energy as a group is second to none. Dee is just extra icing on the cake. Studio versions pale in comparison to the live versions.
Here the set is awsome. There are songs from most of their albums. Many of the "we're not gonna take it" bandwagon fans have never even heard.
Great Band
great Album!
.
Awesome.
I can only pray for a new album. Love hearing these guys live again. Dee's voice is as awesome as ever, the guitar hooks sound great and this was an overall flawless, epic LIVE preformance by Twisted Sister.
