Jesuschrist on a cracker, I can't believe you've posted the same bloody thing all three times on three different threads.

Since you seem to like redundancy....and I'm old and senile now....I'll re-hash the same shit. Because that's what old people do. First, what you just called "side projects" are their professions and livelihoods. Don't trivialize that--all five band members have other significant projects in their lives other than the 15 shows they play with Twisted. Last time I checked, managing a band was not a "side project"--it's tough work.

The Boys have played (since 2003) either as Twisted Sister or the no-frills version Bent Brother...more shows in NY than anywhere else:

2003: The Chance, L'Amours, and the Starland Ballroom
2004: Mid-Hudson Civic Center, The Chance, The Starland, The Downtown, Meadowlands
2005-2006 -can't remember but I know there were dates in there somewhere.
2007: Fillmore NYC
2008: Nokia NYC--two shows
2009: Nokia NYC ; Crazy Donkey, Starland
2010: No NY shows but they played Plymouth MA and Philly.
2011: Best Buy Theatre

All small clubs. They also played Philly, Plymouth, Springfield VA, Baltimore, Conn., NJ, Orlando, All small gigs. There were many more. Including last frickin' week!!!
were you there last week? No? What....did you have a side project, like a job?

Cry all you want. Throw as many little temper tantrums as you like.
But don't you dare call yourself a loyal SMF in the same sentence that you accuse them of selling out because they won't cater to your personal whims in Poughkeepsie, which as far as towns go, is not the most exciting destination you make it out to be. Poughkeepsie did not "make" Twisted Sister.

In fact, the only impression I have now is that certain Poughkeepsie fans continue to post here crying like babies because the world does not revolve around Poughkeepsie. And when TS did play there, all they did was whine "come back come back" instead of appreciating that they have had more gigs in northern NY than in lots of other places....in the world! And for the record, I don't give a rats tutu what Bret Michaels does.

Here's a lesson for you---the world is a big, fascinating place full of interesting people, sites and flavors--Poughkeepsie is less than 6 square miles--I walk more than that in my trek for dinner before every Twisted show I go to.... Here's a solution: Leave Poughkeepsie! that's right....you can do it.... there is a great big world outside your little podunk town, and there are trains, planes, buses, automobiles to get you to a Twisted show.

We should do a frickin' role call here--
Last week's show: Quebec Canada, England, Brazil, California, New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, those were just the people I met! And almost all of them traveled further than Poughkeepsie to attend. THOSE are the loyal SMFs.

You know what....I hope they grant your wish and play Poughkeepsie. And I want you to walk right up to Jay Jay....Mark,....Dee....Eddie....AJ....and tell them to their faces, that they don't care about their fans. I DARE YOU. And I'll be there to witness it. You can bet on that.

Teaching the SMFs? Hardly. In fact...are you sure your name isn't Vod?
