The living members of Rock legends Twisted Sister reunited at this years’ Spooky Empire Convention to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the band’s classic album Stay Hungry. Dee Snider, Jay Jay French, Eddie Ojeda and Mark “The Animal” Mendoza were together again at the Spooky Empire horror-themed convention in Tampa, Florida for a very exclusive, one-time-only gathering. All four members signed autographs for fans on Friday, November 1 and Saturday, November 2. They also took part in a question-and-answer session, video footage of which can be seen below. A limited-edition Twisted Sister commemorative Stay Hungry 35th-anniversary coin was made available at the show. The band retired in 2016 after completing a farewell 40th-anniversary tour. The band’s last-ever concert took place in November of that year — 20 months after the passing of longtime drummer A.J. Pero. Watch fan-filmed footage below. Continue reading →

I honestly didn’t think it would “work” without AJ Pero, but bless! I’m happy this album is as strong as it is. Continue reading →
