Armadillo - Amen brother!

Couldn't have put it better myself. As I understand it if anything is a side-project it is Twisted Sister - the guys work in dates around their everyday jobs and responsibilities. Personally I am thankful for every minute they put their everyday lives on hold to entertain us. Doesn't matter whether I am at the show (although that would definately be my first choice) or just hear about it on here - Terry's road reports are as good as being there anyway! As mentioned many of us travel significant distances (and to other countries or even continents) to see the band and meet up with SMF friends old and new - and that's half the fun. Yes it would be nice if they played down the road every weekend but this is the real world and it isn't going to happen.

Another factor to consider is that the boyz can't play if the venues don't book them. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I seem to recall JayJay mentioning before that one of the reasons they play the European festivals more often is because the promoters ask them to! Although they have played more US dates in the last few years the US promoters have been less forthcoming with dates than other countries. 

Finally, as far as insinuating that the band doesn't care for their fans - b#ll#cks! They regularly take the time to read and respond to posts on this slamboard. They also take care of their fans on the road - how many of us on here have been invited backstage before, during or after the show to hang with the guys (and not for the ridiculously exhorbitant 'meet & greet' fees that a number of other bands do - some of whom pride themselves on the 'connection with their fans'.  

bobcat09 - if you don't like what you see - change the channel..........but don't knock the band or the countless SMF's who are enjoying every minute of the ride just as it is.
