There has been a huge amount of activity from the Twisted Sister camp in these past 12 months. Seven reissues, half a dozen DVD’s, and a book! This month I’m going to look at a few more of the Armoury Records Twisted Sister ‘Remaster Series’ reissue campaign, including YOU CAN’T STOP ROCK ‘N’ ROLL, LIVE AT HAMMERSMITH and CLUB DAZE VOLUME II. To top it all off we look at Dee Snider’s autobiography SHUT UP AND GIVE ME THE MIC. Enjoy this twisted blast from the past!



As part of the remaster series, Twisted Sister’s second album, YOU CAN’T STOP ROCK AND ROLL gets the reissue treatment. The 10 track, 38 minute album started to show Snider’s increased song-writing prowess as demonstrated by catchy cuts like ‘I Am, (I’m Me)’ and ‘Ride to Live, Live to Ride’. The band also dabbles into ballad territory with the heartfelt tune ‘You’re Not Alone’, subtitled (Suzette’s song) for Dees wife. The album sounds big and bold and the real bonus are the three bonus tracks. The first pair of songs are a couple of boogie-rockers but the last cut ‘Feel The Power’ is a helluva a barnburner. This album is essentially a reissue of the 1999 Spitfire version of the reissue of the 1983 album, with nothing new added. However, it is good to see this classic, pioneering album still available to the public. I’ll wrap this short review by saying, it’s a great record, one that most Twisted fans already own, or should own as it captures the energy and excitement of a band on the way to stardom.
