| I'm really happy for all you S.M.F.s from the tri-state area that you get this concert and at the same time I'm soooo jealous. I wish we could also get such a rather intimate indoor show here in Europe, preferably in a city that's easy to reach for everyone who wants to go. How about another show in London ? Can't think about a more appropriate place to celebrate "Stay hungry"...............it all started in the UK so don't you think it's time to come full circle ;-) ? |

| Why are the tickets $45.00 - $145.00? It's standing only usually for Starland. |

| Haven't they already done this album? They did most of it or the whole album in 2005 at Starland Ballroom, but they were Bent Brother. They should do "You Can't Stop Rock and Roll." It's a better album, and they've been playing "the Beast" and other songs from "Stay Hungry" anyway. For example, they did "Stay Hungry" here,

| Well...that was nine years ago...lol. And Stay Hungry was THE album that broke them loose...AND it's the 30th anniversary of it. So, the stars all just kinda align on this one. Plus, you know for sure they are gonna break out a bunch of goodies for the hometown crowd...I can only hope, anyway! |

But they don't play constantly. |

Let's touch base Terry. Not sure I can get to both shows but I should be able to get to at least one of these. |

Why don't you go to Rocklahoma instead? There will be other bands there. I wouldn't travel from California to see "Stay Hungry" live. |

| I'd bet the song list will be BETTER at the Starland than at Rocklahoma. They will do Stay Hungry in its entirety at BOTH...but will break out some older more classic stuff for the true SMF's in the tri-state area at the Starland show. Guaranteed. |

I saw them at the charity show in Free Hold, and they only played for 45 minutes. The only different songs they did were "the Beast" and "Destroyer," but I've seen them do both of those songs at Starland before. I was excited at first, but I'm not paying $45 to see Stay Hungry again. |

First...the charity show was only 45 minutes because it was a charity show and there were other bands coming on after Twisted Sister, so you didn't get a full set. It was a charity show! (AND it still kicked ass, by the way)
Secondly....Twisted Sister has not made any announcements yet as to what gets played, so there's NO word on if this will be full Stay Hungry set or if there will be lots of other Twisted goodies--I wouldn't jump to any conclusions. Maybe we'll hear from Jay Jay if Manhattan ever digs out of the snowstorm.
Thirdly...you can't go wrong with either show. The Starland Ballroom has been completely re-done after Hurricane Sandy, I've heard on good authority that the sound there is better than ever. PLUS...there will be some great artists playing with TS that night--it should be a FANTASTIC show. New Jersey fans love their metal and the last time I was at the Starland, it was loud and energetic. Rocklahoma is obviously a draw--not only for TS (who sadly, will not be the headliner this time) and there are lots of other incredible bands playing--so lots of bang for your buck if your excuse is "why fly for just 60 minutes of TS". (bring a hat and sunscreen--Oklahoma is a tad warm!) And OK is closer to CA but remember in your travel costs that you'll need to likely get a rental car.
AND last but not least, I'm sorry Rock10 doesn't feel that it's worth the trek from California to see "Stay Hungry" live (You're wrong....it's SO worth the trek...) Obviously I'm completely biased, but I'll just say this. Domestic U.S. tour dates have historically been less plentiful than International tour dates, and we've seen it so many times--fans wishing they had just doled out the dollars for a chance to see Twisted Sister live. Ten years from now, I'll bet if I asked you if you remembered the show, you'll be able to recall all the details with a smile on your face. But if I ask you in 10 years, what you spent that money on instead... you likely won't even recall. I missed a December mortgage payment to catch a single show-- essentially an overnight stay, from Baltimore MD to Sweden (via NJ) -- AND IT WAS SO WORTH IT! I don't do this for any other band because no other band is as good live as Twisted Sister. Period. No regrets, my babies. Go forth and ROCK!

I'm saying that just because they've already done "Stay Hungry" live, and it's the worst of the first three albums. |

So, what are they/we gonna do ? Cancel the shows ? Should we all stay away from the upcoming festivals because they have done it before ?
I really don't get the point you're trying to make, sorry........and one more thing I've been wondering for a while: why did you bother to register yourself in this forum if 99% of all your postings seem to be anti-TS ? At least that is what me feeling is. Please enlighten me and tell me that I'm wrong, maybe I just don't get your very special sense of humour, Thanks !!

I'm a TS fan. I'm giving my opinion of "Stay Hungry" being played live again instead of one of the first two albums. I also think $45 is a lot. |

I understand-- I caught a lot of their shows on the 25th reunion of Stay Hungry Tour (and believe me, at the time, no one thought they would still be doing this for the 30th..it's pretty awesome!) And after you've heard "Stay Hungry" for the 10th time, you're aching for anything from UTB and COAP, but no one has said that it's gonna be all SH side to side (only one person knows that answer--Jay Jay) and not worth $45 a ticket? I fully disagree. Totally worth every penny. A TS show is always a great time.
Lucky for all of us, there are more tour dates coming...personally, I can't wait! |

Two more dates to be announced Monday!
