I don't know anything about the business of music except how to buy an album and concert ticket. I appreciate the fact that TWISTED SISTER is still a working live band after all these years, and I respect the band's position on new music. They have figured out a way to not just survive, but thrive, and not many bands that started 40 years ago can say that. They know what they are doing. But would I buy a new album from TS? Definitely. I've always loved TS's attitude as much as their music; Dee (and Jay Jay's) rants during shows get as much press as their music (read the Heavy Montreal reviews). I would love to hear that modern attitude in new music from them. As someone above mentioned, new music is what keeps a band relevant, and it is the lasting relic when memories of the concerts have faded. Tom Petty said in the press release for his new album, "The world does not need a new Tom Petty album but here it is." He plays 4 songs from it on the new tour and they fit right in with the classics. Will a new TS album go triple platinum and set the world on fire? No. But neither will a new Stones album, but there's sure to be one, and their fan base will love it. Recording is cheap today (compared to year's past). Forget releasing it on CD (CDs are DOA). LP and digital download only. What's the worst that could happen?
