The dictionary defines “Epic”, the adjective, as “extending beyond the usual […]

Bonjour mesdames and monsieurs! I’m going to make this easy–plain and simple–Twisted Sister absolutely destroyed Hellfest last night.

I don’t know how many different ways I can say this: Twisted Sister didn’t just destroy the M3 Festival at Merriweather Post Pavilion, Saturday night….they demolished it.
