After 14 year apart, Twisted Sister has regrouped since 2001. Dee Snider has always stated that Twisted Sister ongoing existence is unclear.

He says "I've told the guys that I'm done [after 2006]," he says. "I've got a lot of things plaguing me. I really resented the older bands that would not know when to get off the f*ckin' stage. I want to get out of the way and let [younger bands] have their chance in the spotlight. Am I saying I'll never do anything ever again? No. But am I serious that I want it to end? Yes. Not because anything's wrong, but because everything's right, so I want it to end while everything's right."

In addition, Jay Jay French also comments that "If the band had never reunited we would never have known or experienced the thrill of the acknowledgment of the hard work that we put in," French adds. "I never take it for granted. It's just unbelievable. So I'm astonished by it, humbled by it and grateful for it."

The band album's A Twisted Christmas was scheduled to be released on this Oct 17.

There are so many rumors all around internet about possible of the reunion between Dio and Black Sabbath. Today, Dio gives interview via the phone to Daily Yomiuri Online about his music and the rumor about reuniting with Sabbath.

About revisiting the "Holy Diver" material on a recently released live CD:

"It was cool and fun to play those songs again...but to me it seems so completely retro to go back to what we did in 1983 in 2005," Dio says of the live DVD and CD recording. "It'd become fashionable around that time to do an entire album [live]. Deep Purple had done Machine Head on one tour and Queensryche were doing Operation: Mindcrime. This was special because Holy Diver was the first introduction to the Dio band and there are great songs on that album, so we agreed to do it.

"But anyone can stand on their laurels. It's only what you do tomorrow or tonight that's important...it's all about creation."

On the possibility of a reunion with SABBATH 's Tony Iommi or RAINBOW 's Ritchie Blackmore

"I would absolutely say no if it was for nostalgia," Dio says, diplomatically avoiding a choice, but suggesting that the door is still open to either. "Money has never been a consideration for me...so the project would have to be forward-thinking."

Any tour would have to lead to new recordings, he says, before lashing out at those who see it as a pot of gold.

"I have no time for bands that reform because they couldn't get jobs as CEOs at companies or at the local porn factory or whatever."

Does he at least acknowledge his role as the singer who brought fantasy themes to metal?

"I guess I probably would take that little badge of honor. I probably have done that more than anyone else," Dio says after some initial resistance. "If I can take another example, the famous two-finger horn sign I've been given credit for having invented was something I just picked up from grandmother, who was Italian and had superstitions and that was her protection against the evil eye. Because I did this one sign so many times it became identifiable with me and because I've written more fantasy attitudes and lyrics...I guess I became Mr. Fantasy, but I write a lot of other things as well."

"I have a kind of medieval English home and in it, it has the accoutrements that make sense, everything from suits of armor to antlers," Dio explains of the fixtures and fittings of his Los Angeles dwelling. "I must have about 50 swords, but only a couple of crossbows. That's a pretty horrible instrument of war."

"I don't have a moat [around the house]; there's no drawbridge," he says, attempting a distinction between interest and obsession.
