Location: on a Twisted planet | Hey SMF's.......I'm questioning myself this for years, but never thought of posting it here.
How actually Twisted Sister got their name and what does it stands for, what it means?
I mean, is there some story like Black Sabbath named by a cheap 60's horror movie???
p.s. I laughed at this but, when i bought some music (CD's) here in a shop in my town, i saw a porn on a DVD called: Twisted Sisters !!! LOOOOL....I just laughed  )) |

That's more or less correct. If you want to hear it straight from the horses mouth, click on the link below.

Location: on a Twisted planet | Wait, this audio with Dee Snider can't be true......He's talking about it like he was there when Twisted Sister got their name, but how could that be possible, when they founded TS around '72 or '73 and Dee joined the band 3 years later ???

| the orginal singer named michael, called jay one night in a druken stooper and and said more or less, the band should be called twisted sister in a slurring sloberish voice. the name stuck, and dee joined the band a few years later |

| I heard Dee's quote, it didn't make sense (since, according to http://www.twistedsister.com/sistory-1.html , Dee was not in the band when the name was chosen), but Altini's version makes much more sense.
Although I never saw the Good Rats play, I understand that they had a song that had the lyrics "Twisted Mothers, Twisted Brothers, Twisted Sisters". Perhaps the drunk original singer was listening to a Good Rats tape...

Hey Pungent,
Good theory, but that song was written about Twisted and Dee in particular. There is a lot more to the story, but I'll leave it for the real historian (the Faj) to spell it out. |
