| Graspop Metal Meeting is proud to announce TWISTED SISTER's long overdue GMM debut!
Founded
back in 1972 by guitarist Jay Jay French, it still took Twisted Sister
ten years to release their debut album Under the Blade. After years of
pottering about, the American quintet decided to change musical
directions and thanks to an inventive mix of traditional heavy metal,
pure rock ‘n’ roll and a pinch of early seventies glam rock, Twisted
Sister’s popularity began to soar. Energy bomb Dee Snider joined in 1976
and he clearly brought more to the mix than just the big hair. Taking
over as the band’s songsmith, Snider authored the hit singles We're Not
Gonna Take It and I Wanna Rock off the 1984 Stay Hungry album, two rock
anthems that catapulted Twisted Sister into international fame. In 1987,
the band called it quits after just four albums, only to reform ten
years later. Their last studio album Still Hungry was released in 2004,
but more than anything else Twisted Sister are known for their energetic
live shows, making The Iron Men of Rock and Roll’ one of the most
exciting bands in metal history. |
