Destroyer Posts: 545 | This should be awesome! Saw this on Facebook, had to re-post it here: As they say, if you clap your hands 3 times and wish real hard... This is probably a good place to announce that I am in the last stages of finishing a movie about Twisted Sister in the clubs. It begins with them in their earliest incarnation as a glam cover band in NJ and ends with them signing their deal with Atlantic at the end of '82 after their legendary appearance on The Tube in the UK. It includes many performances in the clubs from that time and a lot of their legendary schtick such as "The Sweet Jane drink till you vomit gong show", the destruction of Hammerheads and, of course, Disco Sucks (and all that that implies). And a great story! | ||

Movie About TWISTED SISTER's Early Days Reportedly In The Works - Jan. 14, 2013 According to a post on the Twisted Sister In The Clubs (Unauthorized) 1976-1983 Facebook page, German filmmaker Andrew Horn is putting the finishing touches on a new movie about TWISTED SISTER's club days. He states: "It begins with them in their earliest incarnation as a glam cover band in New Jersey and ends with them signing their deal with Atlantic at the end of '82 after their legendary appearance on 'The Tube' in the UK. It includes many performances in the clubs from that time and a lot of their legendary schtick such as the 'Sweet Jane' drink-'till-you-vomit gong show, the destruction of Hammerheads and, of course, Disco Sucks (and all that that implies). And a great story!" In May 2011, Eagle Rock Entertainment released the landmark metal debut of 1982, "Under The Blade" by TWISTED SISTER. The CD — originally produced by Pete Way of UFO — also contains four tracks from their 1982 "Ruff Cuts" EP (never before available on CD) as well as "Shoot 'Em Down", an '82 live track from England's prestigious Reading Festival. The lavish package features the original "Under The Blade" cover, which has not appeared on any domestic versions of the album until now, and reflects the original Secret Records track list and remastered audio mix. The DVD contains the entire previously-unreleased Reading concert. | ||
