   Label:  Global Music

When it comes to bands that dominated a generation then Twisted Sister instantly spring to mind, especially when you're thinking about the mighty rock bands of the eighties.  The band set a video precedence that saw repeated showings of their iconic videos on MTV and their live shows were not to be missed with the larger than life frontman Dee Snider leading his band of merry men.  

The band reunited all five original members and the true power and glory that is Twisted Sister was the result.  Way back in the 80's when the band were first starting out they weren't having much luck back home in the USA so the came on over to good old blighty to bring their fun filled rock to the masses.  I'm pretty sure the last time the original line-up played London it was way back in the early 90's, so their return to London, and to this particular venue where it all started off, was well overdue.

With the band's resurgence in recent years including new releases and continued touring, the band are living out their own song ‘You Can't Stop Rock n Roll’, as the band continue to rock the masses.  This is proved none more so than on this live twin-disc DVD / CD.  The band show they can still kick some serious ass and are truly ready and willing to rock till they drop in the name of ‘MOTHER F**KING ROCK N ROLL’.  Featuring classics tracks like ‘Under The Blade’, ‘Burn In Hell’, 'You Can't Stop Rock n' Roll’ and ‘I Wanna Rock’, all still standing the test of time mixed alongside some of the bands more recent material, these two discs showcase the band at their finest and most raw.

Although this show was recorded back in 2004, the band haven’t stopped rocking and continue to fill venues wherever they go.  They always give the fans a real dose of thunderous no holds barred sleaze driven rock as it used to be, and this double DVD/CD is a well documented Twisted Sister show.  What you see is what you get and god bless Dee and the rest of the band for keeping it real and never straying to far from the bands roots. 

Sadly with the impending closure of this fine rock venue this twin disc collection is a true testament to its history as one of the finest Rock venues in the capital and who better to show it off than the mighty Twisted Sister.
