Irreverent yes, and also funny as hell!Īll songs were played flawlessly as you would come to expect, with guitarists Eddie “Fingers” Ojeda and Jay Jay French trading leads and showcasing some really unique guitars. Mid-way into the show a fat pants-less Santa emerges to grant the band their Christmas wish. Dee told the crowd he cleaned things up a bit since there were youngsters in the audience, but he did manage to slip in a few sexual innuendos just for good measure! He has been and still is one of the best frontmen in metal!Ĭlearly missing from the show and one my favourite things about the Twisted Sister since I was a teenager was the cursing. He’s in great shape a mirror image of himself from the ’80s. Throughout the 90 minutes, Dee banged his head, fluffed his hair and ran the stage from one end to the other tirelessly, defying his age and putting frontmen half his age to shame. As for the classic Twisted hits, they performed such greats as “Bad Boys of Rock n Roll,” “We’re Not Gonna Take it,” “The Price” and “Destroyer”. To get everyone in the holiday spirit, the band performs songs from their 2006 CD, Twisted Christmas, including such stand outs as “Silver Bells,” “Deck the Halls” and “Heavy Metal Christmas” (a spoof on the 12 Days of Christmas) with all members taking the mic for a part. The excitement from the crowd is contagious as each band member hits the stage by emerging from the toy maker’s wicked contraption. Dee Snider and the boys have been putting on this show for the last few years, and it always packs the house. The ingredients for this toxic holiday punch is part Christmas songs, part classic metal, and part stand up comedy thrown in for fiendish measure.
Sound like a Christmas fairy tale? Not quite, more like the Twisted (Fucking) Sister Christmas Spectacular at the Best Buy Theater in New York City! Envision in your mind’s eye a stage that resembles a demented Santa’s workshop straight from Hell, a pants-less Santa Claus, several wicked snow blowing elves, and three sexy girls pulling Dee on a hot rodded sleigh.
