Location: Baltimore, MD | [Man, I have GOT to find that last notebook and get the NY show report done. That'll keep me busy.] The early road reports were particularly…. colorful. I decided to tone them down a bit---not because the band asked me to, but because I didn't want to risk upsetting fans--although, I think you're inspiring me to bring back the ever popular "Douchebag of the Day" segment. I decided that it was much more fun to write about things that didn't bring people down.
I would certainly NOT go to another band's site just to bitch. Plenty of people do that. My god, some of the KISS sites I can barely stand 5 minutes. I find it pointless, and serves only one purpose--piss off fans. I get no personal fulfillment from that. (Not that this is particularly gratifying. This is the literary equivalent of picking a scab. I don't really want to but I can't seem to help myself) S.M.F.s are different. It hasn't mattered where I went--Twisted Sister fans just seemed different from all of the other fans I've met. It's almost a subculture--can't really explain it, but if you're a part of it, you understand. We revel in the good stuff-- Twisted has some pretty ugly years behind them. This reunion tour was an absolute gift, and the success they are enjoying now is sweet. When it ends, all we'll have are memories and this electronic archive of chats.
You haven't been on the site very long--since 2010--before the reunion shows really took off, album threads were almost 90% of what was discussed because we didn't have a lot of shows. But let's face it-- you didn't offer up intelligent debate--you made absolute statements--and then didn't like it when other folks (myself included) chimed in to say why we felt your statements were way off-base. I love a good debate--you haven't offered one. You still haven't actually stated that you like Twisted Sister. Kinda funny, really.
You have NO IDEA the amount of restraint I'm exercising.
