Wow SMF's, I just returned to NY from yet another kick ass Twisted Sister show. This one emanating from Detroit Rock City Michigan.

I arrived at the State Fiargrounds yesterday around 5:30pm and what I saw was pouring rain along with alot of SMFs waiting for the show and getting soaked. Since when would some water stop a Twisted Sister show? Never have I seen a Twisted Sister show get wiped out due to rain.

I got to meet up with some fellow slamboarders...Joe Rock, Klo, and MP1975 and boy were we all soaked from head to toe. But we didnt give a shit. We were all there to see the Gods of metal play no matter the circumstances. I think if it were a Tsunami, we would've stayed. Thats how dedicated all these fans were to see the show. And as for pictures, due to the pouring rain, I was not able to take pictures. But if anyone took pictures, please post them up on the board. We'd all like to see them.

At about 8pm, the show begins and the boys looked great as usual. Is it me, or are the boys playing better and better each time I see them? Despite mother nature not cooperating, the beat goes on....and TS put on an incredible show. Funniest moment was Dee taking someone's umbrella and using it! Another nice part was seeing Dee's daughter and Jay Jay's daughter getting up onstage and singing I Wanna Rock with the band. Those little ladies were definitely into the show and the song as the rest of us were.

Eddie unfortunately had a cold but the man sounded good as new onstage with backup vocals and guitar. He doesn't miss a beat, especially having just returned from Bulgaria a few hours prior to the Detroit show. AJ looked sharp as a knife on the drums. And Mark....need I say more...from banging the crap out of his bass to chasing the roadies off stage, looked great. Jay Jay with a few nice ones on his guitar...playing behind his neck, etc. And Dee, he was tame last night. Was not allowed to curse, but had everyone else say some choice words......we all know what those words are...to doing the Burn in Hell segment was just phenominal as usual.

And how can I forget the man behind it all........Danny Stanton......Danny was having a blast as usual. But he also took a broom and did some manual labor.......right Danny? LOL Actually, he flushed the puddles of water off the stage.....and he was just rocking like all of us.

As for the setlist, I had a copy of it, but I can't find it. But don't worry folks, SMF Cyndi (she was there in spirit) made me pass along a message to Joe Rock to write down the setlist. So I'm sure Joe will reply to this post and put up the setlist in chronological order.

So overall, on a scale of 1-10, I give this show a 20.....pouring rain and all. Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the Vegas show, but I know the boys will put on another kick ass show.

Lastly, a BIG THANK YOU goes out to the band and Danny for yet another awe inspiring performance. Long Live Twisted Sister!

See you in December for the Pittsburg show!

Mitch! hahaha BRO! What a funny review!!!!

Are you already dry???? LOL

Very happy to see you spent so great show including the rain...

The fact TS did not cancel this show raining like all you say it was raining, shows one more time how big are TS and how they love their fans. I'm still more proud of our boyz and of so amazing manager like Danny, always ready to help in absolutely all the things without to doubt it one second.

Bravo for all them!!! and of course...also bravo for the great fans that you were there despite rain like a truth SMF! you are big!

Hugs

Yolanda

A very proud SMF!

As a native son of Detroit, I've seen every act come through here in the past ten years. yes, I am a youngin. I had front row, my first time ever seeing TS; and it kicked ass! I bought Stay Hungry today, and am enjoying the hell out of it. It's too bad the boys probably won't come back to detroit. It was a kick ass rock n roll show if there ever was one though . . .

My buddy and I did make it to the show, well, just barely. After getting stuck at work later than planned and then stuck in traffic getting out of Toronto, we finally made it to the show just before the encore! At about 6:45, 100km away from the US border, we called the venue to make sure the show would still go even with the rain. That was confirmed and we were told TS would go on around 8:30-9. Cool, we thought, shouldn't miss that much. Think again!

We parked the car across the street from the park, and could hear the booming sound crystal clear as we got out of the car. The area residents must have loved it! If memory recalls they were playing Under The Blade, though I could be mistaken as the set list Joe Rock posted lists Burn in Hell right before I Wanna Rock, and we were inside the gates for that one. The sound was crystal clear, and for the few songs that we were there for, the band were in top form. It was a real treat hearing Come Out and Play in its entirety (the song that is, not the album) as I've been used to hearing the intro and then another song played.

There were some 15 or so rows of seats set up, that were barricaded in for some reason (though most were empty as the people inside the barricade were up front at the stage) so we found a spot centre stage just beyond the barricade, just in front of the bleachers. I could see Danny Stanton off to the side of the stage, waiting with towel in hand for Dee to come off the stage. After the show was over, I was looking out for MP and Joe Rock, who would presumably be with Mitch, but in the darkness and the rain, everybody must have taken off very quickly and I caught up with nobody. Despite asking various security personnel, Danny was nowhere to be located either. So a very brief trip to Detroit Rock City ended very quickly, and hit the road back to Toronto we did.

Hopefully another show will come up before the year is up, that is close enough for me to make. Pennsylvania is a possibility but not sure yet.

S.M.F. Forever,
Corey

Hey you lucky SMF's out there, who were at the show,

one thing I will NEVER understand is: how could the boys ever dare to skip "Under the blade" from all their recent setlists ? OK, they might have played it 3000+ times and I would agree that they have probably got tired of it, BUT.....how many AC/DC shows have you seen since 1979 without "Highway to hell" or "Let there berock" or.... or..... ? How many Judas Priest shows have you seen without "Breaking the law" ? Iron Maiden without "Hallowed by thy name" ? The list could go on forever......

There is always some essentials with almost every famous band that fans ALWAYS want to hear and you just cannot leave 'em out.........TS did !.......and I have NO explanation for that whatsoever !

Stay sick.

SMF, Germany
