Twisted Sister plays 20, 25 shows a year. But if the band had their druthers, they'd be out playing all the time.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The average life spans of many bands are not that long, up to five years if they are lucky.
Usually, a band 20 years into its existence doesn't put out its best records.
Six years is a long time to play the same characters on the same show.
I just got a band together in mid-2012, and we played our first show in October of that year.
The chances of a reunion now are less likely. I was thinking of having a 40th anniversary of the band, but now they are really another band, so it's all a bit weird.
Of course, we didn't survive to play all the way through the '90s, so I can say that - as I said, everybody in the band was aware of this, and we trying to figure out ways to make it different.
I think that the old Mothers started that trend of rehearsing long hours. We went as long as the later bands did except we didn't get paid for it like they did.
Most bands have a two-year success rate. By the third year, it's sort of over. Here we are in Poison still together 26 years later.
Most actors, if you ask them if they play guitar, they'll say they played guitar for 20 years, but what they really mean is they've owned a guitar for 20 years.
It takes 300 years, it seems, for the great bands to get their due.
