Twisted Forever! A glimpse of the masterful music behind the mascaraed
mugs and visionary videos of Long Island lunatics Twisted Sister,
Twisted Forever recalls what a smokin' sect TS was and also sheds light
on 15 other under-utilized talents, each serving up piping-hot
interpretations of nasty TS cuts...

Flavor-of-the-day Lit lights the fuse with a faithful run-through of the brilliantly
simple TS calling card "I Wanna Rock". The humbly immortal Motorhead
owns "Shoot 'Em Down". Nashville Poontang (lacking breast-fest Corey
Parks) does nice work with "The Kids Are Back". The aptly christened
Overkill goes "Under the Blade". Anthrax takes on the thundering
"Destroyer". Nine Days and Chuck D mix things up, adding variety to a
very listenable compilation. British blasphemers Cradle of Filth garnish
"The Fire Still Burns" into a standout. Only the Step Kings don't step
up to the plate and lose the spirit of one of TS's best, "Burn in Hell",
but it's hardly a weak link on this chain gang-bang. Elsewhere, Joan
Jett works "We're Not Gonna Take It" (handled by fellow class chick Bif
Naked on Ready To Rumble). Master of kick, Fu Manchu opens up the
hell-bent "Ride to Live" like the sad wings of prime Priest. Hammerfall
deserves mention for taking "We're Gonna Make It" to old-school metal
heights. Meanwhile, Sebastian Bach, VOD, and Sevendust pay their
respects until the Twisted ones themselves close their cover album with
(natch) a cover, AC/DC's vintage Vegas homage "Sin City". Twisted
Forever is easily the sickest and most twisted tribute around. Indeed,
you can't stop Rock & Roll.
