What you have said about the boyz could not have been put any better.
I have followed the best rock and roll band, the mighty Twisted Sister, since 1985/6. Unfortunatley for me I never got to see them live up to this point. As you all know, once an SMF always an SMF, and I lived in hope that someday I would get to see Dee and the boyz. Desperado and Widowmaker followed but no UK tours. Finally at 2 days notice Dee plays Wacken and I get to see Dee and the songs I had longed to hear live for the first time. Awesome show, I then see Dee in Sweden and was very lucky to meet him backstage, thanks Dave Marfield & Cooch. As Dave had said its great to meet your idol and I was not dissapointed Dee and AJ were true gents and thanked ME for coming from the UK, can you believe it!!!! I still kept the faith that TS would reunite and play again. Back to Sweden and then to New York to TWISTED SISTER kick ass like only they can. Each year I felt so lucky to see them and kept setting myself a new challenge, the next one being to see them in the UK. It happened, an awesome show at the Rock and Blues festival and then a sell out at the London Astoria where I got to meet Dee and Mark with my wife and two children, how proud was I then, you can imagine.
And now to the present a UK headlining tour and I will be at all 5 shows. I hope to meet the entire band this time and especially Jay Jay to thank him for what he has done for the band. I just hope I can get my Jay Jay French signature guitar signed by him.
If this is to be the last tour, then what a blast. I dont want them to be another Kiss, but then again I dont want it to end either. I have loved every minute, the feeling of being amongst so many SMF's throughing there fists in the air is fantastic. I have also been lucky to meet some great Worldwide SMF's along the way.
So my heart felt thanks to the boyz, Danny and the crew that make all things Twisted. I will see you soon in the UK.
AS ALWAYS
PLAY IT LOUD MUTHA
