TWISTED SISTER Live At Hammersmith 2CD 1994

Before they were the band your dad knew from the Pepsi ads, Twisted Sister were a genuinely dangerous glam-metal band who spent a decade getting turned away from every major label in New York. By the time they hit Hammersmith, they'd earned every inch of it.

Recorded in 1994, this double-disc live set catches the band in a venue that has swallowed legends whole, Hammersmith Odeon, London, and they hold the room without flinching. Dee Snider is one of the great front people in hard rock, full stop, and the band behind him, Jay Jay French, Eddie Ojeda, A.J. Pero, Mark Mendoza, built their whole mythology on being the loudest, most committed thing in the room. This is the document of a band that clawed its way up from the New York bar circuit to arenas and refused to play it safe once they got there. Essential alternative and metal history.

2CD live album. USA release, 1994 performance.
