Twisted Sister on Craig Furgeson

[PhantomSticky]

Dee has admitted that this song is where he stole We're Not Gonna Take It from.

These guys were my first major concert back in 1984, and they were totally fuckin' psychotic then - just as they are now. Twisted for-fuckin'-ever, forever fuckin' twisted!

[TheStaticage01]

Baby Jesus is all like...gold?silver?myrh??? I WANNA ROCK!

[GeorgiaGuyjlk]

Now this is how christmas music should sound



[srpercival01]

exact same chord progression as we're not gonna take it

[Orthropox14]

my most fav bands of all time are twisted sister ac/dc def leppard dokken black sabbath bon jovi and the beatles

[themodernguitarist]

Finally, a talk-show host who actually says "metal" instead of "rock" or "rock-n-roll".

[hazor777]

@themodernguitarist :EXACTLY! Most people under 30 dont realize that TS,ACDC,Iron Maiden,Judas Priest,Ratt,Dokken,Def Leppard etc....were "Heavy Metal" before Thrash rose from the underground...and before the 80's bands , "Heavy Metal" was Zepp., Sabbath,Deep Purple,Rush,Hendrix etc.....

[DamianDurionOFFICIAL]

@themodernguitarist its cuz Craig is badass

[halford3256]

AJ Pero looks like my Nana...

[ghyein]

That's just FUCKING AWSOME!

[Aladdin7796]

Very unprecedented for a heavy metal band to play a Christmas hymn.

[MetallicBill]

I can only think of Spinal Tap's Christmas ditty, though I think I know what Dee was trying for... he thinks metal can walk the line of respect that every age group can appreciate, but it's just bizarre to me, over all, I like traditional Christmas music often just based on it's age I have to say

[Elena6210]

Amo el pelo de DEE

[Elena6210]

Amo el pelo de DEE

[alchemistjuice]

This is one hell of a performance.

[epsteinsmutha1]

WHAT'S THIS?!!!! A TWISTED SISTER LOGO?!!!  ON YOUR CHRISTMAS TREE?!!! WHAT KIND OF A MAN ARE YOUUUUUUUUUU?!!!!!!!!!?

Man, someone put Mendoza on a diet. He cannot be healthy being that big.

[strangersound]

I carried an M-16 and you...you carry that Christmas Tree!!

[epsteinsmutha1]

@strangersound Brilliant! Thanks for coating me off properly!

Happy 2011 to you and yours and someone else's

[NiurTarow]

Dee singing a Christmas hymn with Craig... wow... that would be an ideal present... Dee and Craig - what else is there in life?

[ALICECOOPERFANATIC]

Nothing...I think my life has been lived...lol

[NoName21234]

what is Craig wearing? ...haha!

[gordo39432]

is this still dee snyder?

[hellzblade44]

it sure is!

[anti8imbeciles]

Chords not fit... it can be better!!!

[kickerpunter]

its in the tune of were not gonna take it, if you didn't notice

[comedian618]

Go to the right, and click on the box with JJ on it. Thats the Leno performance. Much better.

[jurgenknight]

my favorite Chrismas carol is this song when sung by Twisted sister

[KnightOwl2006]

Saw TS in 84, they were amazing. They haven't lost their edge I'm happy to see. Still tight as ever.

[comedian618]

The performance on Leno was 3x times better. This is still cool though...Hey its TS!

[beecee151]

check out Dee Snyder on general stuff. In the early days he was in the U.K. and a couple of assholes attacked him thinking he was just a cross-dresser and let the ass-whipping begin! I love it.

[beecee151]

I know it looks a little lyp syched but it is live. Dee Snyder is the bomb as is JJ French.

Totally live and cool.

[micklovn]

I want to get their Christmas cd.

[Blueracer]

The Leno performance was a bit better.

[micklovn]

I couldnt find the Leno one on youtube have to settle for this one

[comedian618]

Go to the right, and scoll down all the way to the bottom. It says Live Performance. It does'nt actually say that its Leno

[Embo31]

I agree...the Jay Leno performance was way, WAY better!!!

[BlusherAmsterdam]

Background vocals are way off key

[mafre029]

Ive never tought i live to see Dee sing that Christ is the Lord :)

[TheSnarkles]

Jesus would certainly get a kick out of these guys.

[XTSY]

Twisted Sister Rocks so good after 30 years! That's wonderful!!!!

They don't miss a beat!!! TS for LIFE!!!!

[p4horror]

Twisted Sister rock. I like Eddie's guitar. It's kinda weird that Jay Jay wears a long-hair wig though.

[minookawreslinkid99]

i hear they rent amps every show, and just hook them up to a couple of those line 6 pods.

[JerTheAraluan]

THAT WAS AWESOME

[emeraldieandcounting]

that was twisted! :)

[GnrSlashLDB]

this is awesome is it just me or does this sound a lot like "we're" not gonna take it"?

[RKFS]

Maybe Dee noticed it too, how they go together, and that's how this all started?

[guywholovesmovies]

u guys r both right cuz when Dee Snider wrote "We're Not Gonna Take It", he tried to use the same rythym in the lyrics, and so thats y this sounds like We're Not Gonna Take It. cuz the rythym is completly alike lyrically, and they pretty much just used the same guitar riff, drum pattern, and solo

[airbourne2112]

i think i read in an interview with jay jay that people kept commenting on how similar "we're not gonna take it" and "oh come all ye faithful" sounded so they just put it together.

[togatoga91]

Does anyone know if Dee Snider can play guitar? I've seen him holding one but never playing one.

[ofwolfandwhiplash]

yeah he can, he did in gone country

[danic420]

Can u get any better than TS doing A Christmas Classic Metal Style?? Hell no u cant!!!

[WEHUNTNM]

I like twisted sister...But that kinda sucked!

[onesheepdog]

[Limecapp]

he looks HOTT in a leather jacket

[Blueracer]

I love the song and have the CD. I also saw the performance on Leno. But what the hell happened at the end? I love that part but, here it sounds awful.

[gizzerd66]

fuckin A praise hell satan

[carnage2211]

i would LOVE to see TS live

[blackie0nassis]

yep, dee fuckin ROCKS twisted sister FOREVER

[Misiek64239]

[PolishTank79]

yes, J J is wearing a wig. you can see him put it on in the dvd from a couple years ago

[usnationalist]

bad ass. Twisted Sister Rules. Best Christmas Album ever.

[1twisted]

the twisted boys still out rock most bands

[davidgee24]

By the way, is Jay Jay wearing a wig?

[davidgee24]

Well, it's not a TS song. Even so, they sound more like a punk band than a metal band, which is what I always liked about their older stuff.

[davidgee24]

I thought this was going to suck, but it did really kick ass!

[Amptron25]

How could you Ever think a Twisted Sister Song would suck ? That's just unheard of

[allyouneedisRandR]

dee has one of the best voices in rock. he is hugely underrated. if you listen to burn in hell and the price, you will agree.

[thoretuff]

soundes liek we're not gonna take it rofl, but really...looks like they all really grew obese

[nicholasday]

cause we're not gonna take it uses the same rythem/beat/everything as Oh Come All Ye Faithful

[Dumbell99]

It funny that TS has more balls playing Christmas songs than most bands have today playing anything:)

[styxfreak]

they are awesome live

[venom642]

they are the most kick ass band net to KISS

[ml2355]

still soundin great.....twisted sister rocks

[scruzme13]

that is pathetic... they were never taken serious at all if it werent for the PMRC hearings. Dee is a smart guy though.

[LastDayInSin]

haha do you really think they wanted to be taken seriously...they were in it for fun and music man hahaha

[oneWASPfan]

Thanks for posting

[SeiyaruDePon]

Dee sounds EQUAL 30 years ago!

FUCKING METAL RULZ!!!!

[JJ18fan]

[kotzensue]

[izznaz]

Dee Still sound the same after 30 freaking years

[24caber24]

KickFuckingAssRockNFuckingRoll­

[dtm15]

They are so great. After 30 years they are still getting better.

[CaptainCambria27]

Dee still sounds better live than a lot of popular bands nowadays.

[OzaiFan]

Here, here! I agree wholeheartedly.

[classicrock1988]

I'll second that! Dee is one of the most underrated singers in rock, in my opinion. He can still belt it out after all these years.

[xchildrenofbodomx]

sick mother fu c k i n friends of twisted sister

[spiritualmonkey]

YESSSS! I think i just injured my neck...

[ironroberthalford]

twisted sister!! i wanna rock!! metal!!

[thesexymofo12]

Dee is the only one that shows ANY emotion. BUt he shows enough to make up for everyone else.

[onrylarry]

20 years and I am still a SMF way to go dee

[kpsrock]

Hmm... I think it's kinda sad, you know... I love Twisted Sister and everything... but I think that's kinda sad to see them trying to look and trying to do what they did when they were 20. I'm not saying that they should retire... but I think they could show that they've grown up... you can't try to be a child when you're 50 X_X

[colesprouseiscute]

Because They can Still Be As good as they Once were. I think they still are.

[kpsrock]

Yes they are... but it looks like they haven't realised that they've grown up...

[bluer32]

Actually, I think these guiys are damn great, and I was never a TS fan. But these guys are so damn fun to watch. Dee is totally unapologetic and totally into the schtick. Very cool!

[kotzensue]

completely disagree... rock never grows up.

[kpsrock]

No, rock n' roll music never grows up... but the musicians do.

[GlenVillain]

never too old to rock, great performance

[kotzensue]

you are right man

[kbahensky]

no 1 understands in the 80's that was the look hair bands where the coolest thing out there the person who looked the most like a chick got all the chicks

[thedeadguy]

i'm surprised he can still fit into that costume.

[DiBiasehere]

Can not wait till next Christmas to play this LOUD MUTHA

[BangTango]

they do the make-up cuz every1 knows em' like that.. so i guess its funny.. i love this band.. classical

[RockinDay]

the dude can sing and the band is pretty cool, but do they have to put the make up?.. and that ugly hair omg... he looks like a retroseksual

[yourmom02703]

rocken day thats what they are with out the hair there just a regular rock band!

[TheSaintHooker]

wouldn't be the same without that stuff

[nemtall]

yes he did have the dart board before zack,,,this is fun,,,rocking cover

[dotcanada]

Twisted Sister was my first love of rock'n'roll in '84. It's great to see them again, it doesn't matter what age you are.

[HerrKenny]

still rockin after all these years

[Lunarisx718]

the rest of the band could take a cue from Dee and try to keep in shape.

btw awesome video and cover

[mackead]

The best band in the whole wide world...seen them many times

[MaskedMurder666]

wow, they must be desprate 2 get some attention if ther starting to cover this shit. must be tiered of there wives old, used downstairs area.

[zombierichard]

ofcourse someone like you is gonna talk crap... you listen to nu-metal!!!

[Asecooper]

Despite the fact they actually have TALENT as opposed to the shit I hear today. If only I was born 10 years earlier, then I could have enjoyed the 70s as well as the 80s.

[mega711]

stfu

[notladtom]

i see the singer hasn't changed his style within a thirty year timespan

[DrmsrXXIII]

Of course...

[jerentitus]

you obviously haven't followed his career lol

[shellshockxbox]

This fuckin rocks.

[yogigonewild]

that nigga swears he's zakk wylde with the his guitar and shizz wtf

[ELNINO10]

He had that paint job long before Zakk.

[zombierichard]

I know... Twisted Sister has been around since the 70's. Zakk was still in his diapers!

[jezuzfreek777]

awesome

[aristottlesdeathwish]

They are so awesome.
