Twisted Sister Roars Back with Sebastian Bach at the Helm

In a thunderous revival that has metalheads buzzing, TWISTED SISTER tore through their first concert with former SKID ROW vocalist Sebastian Bach on August 28 at the Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, New Jersey. Initially teased as a mysterious BENT BROTHER gig, the show erupted into a full-blown reawakening of TWISTED SISTER's fury, showcasing a new lineup that promises to deliver classic anthems with an electrifying twist.

With Jay Jay French and Eddie Ojeda wielding their guitars like weapons of mass destruction, Russell Pzütto holding down the low end, and Joey Cassata pounding the skins, the chemistry was palpable. Fans were treated to a setlist that spanned the band’s storied catalog, featuring fan favorites like 'I Wanna Rock', 'We're Not Gonna Take It', and a couple of classic SKID ROW covers that left the audience in a frenzy. The energy was thick, the nostalgia overwhelming, and the crowd knew they were witnessing something special.

Bach, a lifelong fan of TWISTED SISTER, expressed his fervor in a recent interview, admitting he has a deeper appreciation for the band than anyone in the audience. “I mean, I used to paint the TWISTED SISTER logo on my jacket in whiteout!” he exclaimed, channeling the childlike excitement that fuels his passion for rock and roll. It’s not just a gig for him; it’s a celebration of music that shaped his life.

Reflecting on his recruitment as the band’s frontman following Dee Snider’s departure due to health issues, Bach shared, “I’m just a guy who loves this music. I’m here to honor the legacy and bring that same ferocity that made them iconic.” His commitment to the craft and respect for the band’s history shines through, promising fans a show that’s not just a performance but a tribute to the essence of metal.

As TWISTED SISTER gears up for eleven more shows this fall, fans can expect nothing less than an explosive experience that melds nostalgia with the raw energy of Bach’s vocal prowess. With his heart set on delivering a true heavy metal experience, he’s ready to unleash the beast within, ensuring that the spirit of TWISTED SISTER will continue to roar for years to come.
