Location: Baltimore, MD | I think you have to consider a few things here...
they are doing a "reunion tour" This is very different from the band "getting back together." Dee has made this very clear and Jay Jay also mentioned this in his interview--they are not writing new TS songs or putting another album out...this reunion tour is a gift to the fans, new and old.
you mentioned that you "hate" them--kind of a strong word to use, really, but anyhow..--you hate them because they haven't pushed themselves creatively. This is really a very narrow view of their creativity--Jay Jay has been working exceptionally hard as a band manager, working with new talent. Eddie just put out his new album--Mark has been doing producing. AJ has done many drum clinics, and mentioned last time we met him that he was considering some movie projects. Dee has been doing a variety of things such as producing, radio work etc. These are ALL creative outlets. The band members are using their talents for other endeavors--just not Twisted Sister.
I think it's great that they are able to do what they love--and pursue other projects. I wouldn't want to get up and do the same thing every day for 30 years--even things I love to do. (I mean, hey, I love being a firefighter/EMT....but I still need to find new challenges and find new ways to keep my brain engaged)
My advice? (not that you asked...)
Love TS for the music....love them for doing this awesome reunion tour for us....respect them for their drive to pursue other projects. Hate the fact that all good things must come to an end.
