Modern Twisted Sister

Judging from the two times I've seen them and the Twisted Christmas album, modern Twisted Sister can be summed up as: pompous, cheesy, and oddly genuine. Like a 40 year old uncle that never married, has a mullet, drives an IROC, and is so damn cool precisely because he hasn't figured out that nobody thinks that's bad ass anymore. Hop in that bithin' camaro and peel out. It's a time machine if you let it be.

Also – If you ever want to take a non-metal head to a metal show, I recommend Twisted Sister. Its fun, lively, and – unlike Priest – it exists in a bubble where mosh pits and death metal never happened. Not that Priest is death metal - but there is some fan base overlap. Not so with Twisted Sister. A newbie can get a true all out metal experience without the risk of getting a tooth knocked out.
