Twisted Sister was one of the first 18+ shows I ever saw. It was 1978 or 79 I guess, so I was 16 or 17 at the time, back when IDs were paper and had no photos. Twisted Sister had played Glen Island Casino in New Rochelle, NY before, and been banned from playing there. But…for some reason, the club rescinded the ban and let them play the show. Zebra opened for them I think…though that might’ve been a different show I got really wasted at. Who knows?
Anyway, long story short…I got really wasted and Twisted Sister rocked the bar…and got banned again, (this time I think forever) and then went on to become a household name instead of a NY Area metal band that got kicked out of almost everyplace they played.
Fuck the critics and censors. Live your own music.https:\/\/l.facebook.com\/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fultimateclassicrock.com%2Fdee-snider-interview-2020%2F&h=AT2KRdvf5g_zZUXpwIvdt2DWlE0N_M6d88jxKhIgQtrbidbcSkWn_eDoycK00iY9JmUfVtD0BADuS2NBBJoMxPYPXD-UXSd9uGXRqZ3L0n6_leT175R780AOOy4qLw&s=1<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
