Hi all,

Although I am excited to learn that Twisted will be releasing a new album, I have to admit that I feel passionately that if they are releasing their "Final" album it should be original work and not an album of covers.

Although I am confident that one of the songs on this Christmas album will be Dee Snider's Christmas song that Celine Dion covered as that is a Christmas song that would be fantastic to hear by Twisted, I know the rest of the album will be covers and that's just not the way to end on a high note in my opinion.

So although I'll be the first in line to pick up the CD as I'm an SMF for life, I'm praying that Twisted will end on a high note and finish their career with one last original album. Now I know that Dee Snider isn't writing any more, but based on a career of fantastic songs that we all love from Twisted, through to Desperado, Widowmaker and his solo stuff I can't believe that he has simply forgotten how to write great stuff. He's the kinda guy that is always up for a challenge, he's conqured radio, TV and film, and now us SMF's have to challenge him to put out one final record of original work. Maybe if we put it to him like that he'll be out to prove he's got one more in him! Also it's not like he has to write the entire album himself, afterall why can't Twisted play some songs written by the other members of the band. This would be a truely collaborative Twisted effort. Eddie has proved that he can write some great songs, as I picked up his solo album and it's great. Jay Jay has proven that as well, as Follow Me is one of my favourite Twisted Songs. Maybe Mark and AJ have some tunes in them as well, and hell Joey Franco could assist as he is the Seventh Sister afterall!

What do you say guys! One last album of all original work. That's what us SMFs have been waiting for since Twisted got back together. You've played the festivals, you've given us an album of covers (in a sense Sill Hungry is a- better than the original cover re-make)and now looks like we'll get a Christmas album. But all us SMFs have ever wanted for Christmas is one more original Twisted album and a true follow up to Love is For Suckers.

Anyway, that's my feeling anyway. I'm glad the Quebec city concert is still on and I'm looking forward to seeing you guys there. Stay Sick!

I am excited for this new album, but I agree, I'd love nothing more is an album of originals. Even if they are songs like "Follow Me" and "Lady's Boy" that never really made an album, but I'm still glad that we're getting something

I agree, it is great Twisted is putting out a new album, and I will buy it. I would really prefer to hear an album of originals as well. Too bad they could not make it a double cd release, disk 1 new originals and disk 2, Christmas. That would be really cool...in my opinion. Either way, Twisted Rocks.

Thanx.

Ya know, Tom, that is a really good Idea with the double disk. That would be awesome, but I doubt Twisted Sister will do it
