We are proud to celebrate a milestone that once felt unthinkable: a 50-year anniversary!! We have created a music and performance legacy that has and will continue to inspire millions of fans around the world. Twisted Forever, Forever Twisted!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lead guitarist <strong>Eddie Ojeda<\/strong> added: &#8220;Fifty years on, and <strong>Twisted Sister<\/strong> is still the soundtrack for every rebel with a reason and a reason to turn it up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But it was <strong>Dee Snider<\/strong> who raised the horns highest: &#8220;If you&#8217;re lucky enough to be in a band that people still want to see after fifty years(!), how can you not answer the call?

For this anniversary run, they&#8217;ll welcome back <strong>Joe &#8220;Seven&#8221; Franco<\/strong> on drums, returning to the fold for the first time since recording and touring <em>Love Is For Suckers<\/em> in 1987, with <strong>Russell Pz\u00fctto<\/strong> on bass, a familiar face from <strong>Snider<\/strong>&#8216;s solo projects and previous <strong>Twisted Sister<\/strong> appearances.<\/p>\n<p>Tour dates are still under wraps, but with their 50<sup>th <\/sup>looming, fans can expect big stages, bigger choruses, and enough eyeliner to supply MTV&#8217;s glory years all over again.
