Twisted Sister lopettamassa uraansa ensi vuonna?

Yhdysvaltalaisen heavy metal -yhtye Twisted Sisterin kitaristi Jay Jay French on antanut hiljattain haastattelun ”Eddie Trunk Livelle”, jossa paljastaa yhtyeen mahdollisesti lopettavan uransa ensi vuoden aikana. Voit lukea Jay Jayn mietteitä aiheesta sekä bändin tulevaisuudesta tästä:

”Dee [Snider, vocals] is flying in tomorrow, and we’re having a meeting on Wednesday. And we’re gonna discuss several things. We’re gonna discuss the near term, which is the concert in Vegas, which is May 30th. And we’re gonna discuss the middle term, which is getting through the shows in Europe this year. And then we’re gonna [talk about] the long term, which is: Is 2016 gonna be a statement year for us? Is it gonna be…? Are we gonna say…? ’Cause 2016 is the 40th anniversary of me, Dee and Eddie [Ojeda, guitar] together. And it may be time. It may be.”

”We had no idea the band had any following at all when 9/11 happened and we did the New York Steel benefit, and then, all of a sudden, we got calls from around the world and we had no idea whatsoever that the band meant anything to anybody anymore. And in the last thirteen years now, we’ve established [a following] all around the world and South America, and the band is wildly popular. And our music, as you know, is licensed everywhere. ’Cause we license our music, for the reason why, is we want the music played, and if you can only get it played in commercials and TV shows, then that’s where you go. So it has given us an entire life. But we need to look at this and say to ourselves, as a live, breathing entity, on which our reputation totally rests on — being a great live act — how do we honor that history? And how do we honor A.J.? And how do we honor the fans’ loyalty? And I think you know me and Dee and the band enough to know that we are totally realistic and genuine when it comes to our relationship with our fans.”
