A nice recording and a great performance from Twisted Sister while on tour for their major label debut, You Can't Stop Rock And Roll. Formed in Long Island New York as Silver Star, the band was meant to be the Long Island answer to the New York Dolls. Jay Jay French or Johnny Heartbreaker as he was known then, pushed for a name change and the band became Twisted Sister. Many line up changes later and Danny "Dee" Snyder would come aboard and a move towards a heavy metal direction started. Twisted Sister came from the underground in a time when glam wasn't a bad word in metal. A fan of Anvil or Raven could also be a fan of Hanoi Rocks or Motley Crue. Twisted Sister was accepted due to the heaviness of the music, despite the horror transvestite image. The Glam tag didn't become a bad word until the hair spray and eyeliner content became more than the musical content. A good example would be say Britney Fox. Twisted Sister was a major metal success story killed by their own labels stupidity. When Dee Snyder recorded a solo album the label insisted that it be put out as a Twisted Sister album. Dee was the only member to actually play on the Love Is For Suckers album but the label credited all the members and slapped the Twisted name on it. Fans hated the ballads and drum machines and the band folded on tour due to internal fighting.
