BW&BK recently interviewed with legendary Twisted Sister frontman, Dee Snider about his last twisted album. Few excerpts are follow:

BW&BK: "'what the f**k' they were thinking and is this the end of the band? "
Dee Snider: “I really want to talk to you guys (BW&BK) because you really get to the hardcore and I know you're the ones with the really tough questions like ‘What the fuck?'”

BW&BK: Word on the street is that this is it – farewell album and no more Twisted Sister. Is that true?
DS: “I am the one who has been promoting that message and publicly saying that this was the last year for me in Twisted Sister and that this is the last record, but I'm officially back-peddling like a motherfucker right now. Simply because we've shipped more units on this fucking CD than anything we've done since the ‘80s, dude, and the guys are looking at me like ‘Dee are you actually going to leave now? It looks like we may have a successful record.' They've got these big puppy dog eyes and I'm like ‘OK, I can't walk away from a successful record.' So, I am back-peddling – yes, I did say this was the official end, but with a potentially successful CD I'd be hard-pressed to totally walk away at this point.”

ML: It seems to be doing well in Canada.
DS: “Up in Canada you guys are really pumped about this, so I'm officially saying – definite maybe. I'm open to the idea that if this record has some success of continuing to do select shows and possibly doing additional records. It's not that I'm a liar or bullshit artist – I'm totally up front about this – I'm saying ‘Hey I said that stuff, but it looks like the record might do something' and that's a real motivation to continue on.”

ML: But the guys in Twisted Sister get along great...
DS: “We get along great, but eventually it's gotta wear thin (laughs). Everyone is getting along good while everything is positive and everyone's smiling and we're doing nice big shows like we did up in Quebec City this summer (opening for the Scorpions in front of 80,000 fans). Let's walk away after that rather than riding it to the bitter end on the ‘Let's fart in a paper bag' tour and doing it until nobody is interested anymore, but anyway we may continue on. I was the only one slamming that door shut and saying ‘That's it!' So, if people want to see Twisted Sister again – BUY THIS CD!”

ML: It's great that you've changed your mind. Have you ever read a Kiss interview?
DS: “I love to talk about my announcement that it's over and now backing off. I look at Kiss and I don't want to do that. I don't want to do the reunion tour and ten years later, not only still be doing them, but you're replacing the band with guys dressed up to look like the guys. That's just wrong and I think it's taking advantage of people. I don't want to over-stay my welcome and that's what tortures me too.”

ML: The welcome is not over-stayed. Obviously, ‘We're Not Going To Take It' hit the right chord 20 years ago and is still hitting the right chord.
DS: “That's bizarre and you want to talk about your one or two hit wonders – that song has evolved. It's almost like a folk song... it's traditional.”
