Now admittedly I was only 8 years old in 1983, so I may be wrong, but I always thought that the version on I am I'm me was the one from the first night (March 5th), while the one on Big Hits was on the second night (March 6th), and the reason why I thought that was because the instructions Dee gives on that EP version are quite detailed on screeming, fist in the air & jumping, while on the Big Hits version people are doing that already. In addition, I thought he mentions something about it being their second night on the Big Hits version.
Anyway, I've been missing that EP version, so certainly hope that it's the one on this album, but regardless I'm really looking forward to getting the Live at the Marquee disc. Almost as much as I'm looking forward to seeing TS in Quebec city in less than a week!
Nope. That one was from the 6th. I can still pretty much recite Dee's rap word for word during the version from that "I Am, I'm Me" 12". LOL! It starts something like this…..
"Because it's 2 nights now we've been playing here and it’s just been our fuckin’ friends. There’s a few tourists, you know? They come down to stare at Twisted Sister. They come down to stare at the sick mutha fuckas. Cause they think we’re a bunch of freaks, you know? And they can just walk into this club and stare at the sick mutha fuckas, you understand? 'Cause they hear just how crazy your sick mutha fuckas are. People talk about you, you know that? They talk about you. They say, "Have you ever been to a Twisted Sister Show?" And people go "NO". And they say, "Oh man, you ain't seen shit til you see those sick mutha fuckas going out of their damn minds on the floor!" So we got a reputation to live up to, you know what I'm saying? I don't wanna let these assholes down!"”
I could go on but you all get the picture. That song and Dee's rap changed my life forever. Don’t get me wrong. Both nights are amazing! You can’t go wrong with either but that version of “It’s Only Rock and Roll” holds a special place for this SMF. The one time that I was fortunate enough to see them play “It’s Only Rock and Roll” is one of my all-time favorite TS moments. There’s something about their version of that song that just blows me away. It probably has something to do with the fact that I feel like I’m 15 again sitting in my bedroom blasting that EP in my room. LOL!
Play it loud Muthas!!!
