Dee Snider has once again touched on Twisted Sister retirement.
In a new interview with Spain’s The Metal Circus, Dee Snider was asked the same, and here’s what he said:
“I miss TWISTED SISTER, my friends, my brothers — Mark [Mendoza, bass], Jay Jay [French, guitar], Eddie [Ojeda, guitar]— I miss them. But we talk all the time. We’re good friends, and we always talk to each other. It was Mark Mendoza‘s birthday two days ago, and we all were on his podcast and we all joined to wish him a happy birthday. And I miss TWISTED SISTER in its prime. I miss it when we were younger and insane.
On whether TS stayed true to their sound and appearance, he said:
“I think that we stayed long enough and it was time for the band to retire in 2016.”
“So I don’t see going back to that because I don’t think it was really true to what TWISTED SISTER was by the end; we’d stopped wearing the makeup, stopped wearing the costumes. It was a crazy show in the ’80s — it was crazy. In the 2000s, people started to get slower, and it wasn’t as crazy. People loved it, but I think it’s good that we stopped.”
