Not sure why you thought you'd get slammed here...then again...people take their Twisted pretty seriously sometimes, huh? You are one of the early SMF's and are VERY welcome here! The more the merrier...
As for me, my friends turned me on to Twisted back in 80 or 81. They were all familiar with Tony, but by the time I was able to see them, Fast Joey was on his first or second gig with them, so it's all I ever knew. My friends even started to call ME fast Joey, and the name stuck, lol!
I never got to see Tony play. I loved FJ from the get-go and was sorry to see him go...it came as quite a shock to me as it didn't last all that long. Then AJ stepped in, and damn...the shoe fit. He just took it to the next level, and that was that...
So it's all good! And everybody needs to chill...a question was asked, so opinions are going to differ!
Yes,We need to chill...Brrrr( it's 19 degrees here in NY right now LOL).... youre not sure why I'd get slammed? see post 6 and 9.
I, like some others here (I believe), would really like to know the story of why JJ "FIRED" Tony.I remember hearing something about Tony, a "flying boot" and Dee . Next thing I know, Tony was no longer sitting behind the drums. Never saw or heard from him again.Heard about the WOW thing, but that was short lived.Many years later, I stumble onto" House of hair", and this site. But no matter what, no one is saying much except for the little time on the DVD where JJ briefly discusses the drummers.Hopefuly, this new movie will be more impartial, but I'm not holding my breath. The drummer history is or should be one of the most interesting topics of TS history, even if they are a dime a dozen ... per "SE" ( corrected spelling :) )
Rock10- you mentioned Dee's book, I didn't even know he wrote one.So after googling, I find several.Which one are you referring to that may discuss that topic?
