'You Can't Stop Rock N' Roll'

For whatever reason, the original video for Twisted Sister's song "You Can't Stop Rock N' Roll" wasn't available on the band's official YouTube channel... until now.

The song is from the 1983 album of the same name and it is also my favorite Twisted Sister release. Just raw and outrageous rock.

Well, Get Ready

Here we are at Halloween eve. This means Christmas music hell is upon us.

To that end, Sirius XM just posted their holiday music lineup. All the channels below launch Friday, November 1. There is at least a Trans-Siberian Orchestra channel and a Rockin' Xmas channel, which is probably where you'll hear the Twisted Sister Christmas album.

Good luck to us all.

It Had To Happen: Twisted Sister Makeup Collection

Rock and Roll Beauty has another new line - this time it's Twisted Sister! There's eye shadow, lipsticks, eye liners and more. The eye shadows have names like "Stay Hungry," "Moshing," "Wake-up" and "Blastin."

There's no end to what can be monetized today. I'm just waiting for the Ice Nine Kills makeup collection at this point. I'm still salty I didn't start this rock-beauty company.

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful!

Together, these musicians recorded Twisted Sister's first four albums.

This led Twisted Sister to achieve mainstream success with their third album "Stay Hungry" and the hit single "We're Not Gonna Take It". Over the last 30 years, both We're Not Gonna take It, along with Twisted Sister's other classic anthem, "I Wanna Rock" are not only consider to be two of the most influential videos in the history of Heavy Metal / MTV, but these two anthems are also the most licensed anthems in the history of heavy metal! After a 12 year hiatus, Twisted Sister returned to support a major fundraiser for 9/11 Police and Fireman which led to an extraordinary resurgence on the European festival circuit. In 2006, Twisted Sister had an unexpected international hit on their release of "A Twisted Christmas", which continues to sell every holiday season.

“The 2023 Metal Hall of Fame Charity Gala is going to be an amazing event as always," says Metal Hall of Fame President/CEO Pat Gesualdo. "There will be numerous Legendary Hard Rock and Heavy Metal artist Inductions, and many exciting surprises and performances!"
