I love the Twisted History on the site, but I have only one problem. I really wish that there were biographies of all the members of the band, including the early members who aren't therre anymore. Hope someone see this and can add it to the site. STAY HUNGRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The guy to ask about that would be Jay Jay, since he's the historian of the band and has been there longer than anyone.

Dunno if bios from the earliest lineups even exist. But I'll ask.

BIOGRAPHY (2003)



The legendary American hardrock band Twisted Sister was formed in December 1972 in New York as a cover band, performing songs by bands such as Rolling Stones, David Bowie and Mott The Hoople. In 1974 they were offered to record a song called "To Serve Man" for the soundtrack to a "Twilight Zone" TV episode but even if they finalized the song it was aborted when the band's vocalist Michael forgot to turn up for the sessions. In late 1975 they recorded several demo songs with their own material. In early 1976 the band recruited their new front man Dee Snider who had previously been singing with the club band Heathen.

After a couple of line-up changes the band signed a deal with Martin Hooker and his Secret label which was then mainly a punk label. After the demise of Secret Records the band went back to the club circuit before signing with Atlantic through Phil Carson after a performance of Channel 4's legendary show "The Tube". Their album "Come Out And Play" in 1985 was guested by Don Dokken (Dokken), Alice Cooper, Billy Joel and Brian Setzer (The Stray Cats). Dee Snider announced plans for a solo album during 1987 and in January 1988 the band officially announced their breakup.
