Originally only available in the Bars to the Stars box set; now A Twisted Christmas - Live in Las Vegas can be yours, by itself, in the CD and DVD format. Twisted Sister released their metal'd up versions of Christmas classics 6 years ago, and have been heavy-ing up the holidays ever since. Since the inception of this idea, the band has been making it a tradition to perform around the NY area to spread their form of holiday cheer. After the success of those shows, the band took their Merriment to Las Vegas for metal Christmas, that fans will not soon forget.
The band was firing on all cylinders that night, and sound as good as they did back in the day. The show is Christmas themed, as one would guess, with Dee Snider in full Santa gear. The set list is a mix of Christmas tunes as well as some classic TS. The show was filmed well and looks great. The only problem with the DVD, is the fans seemed pretty lame. Can't believe people could be sitting down watching this killer show. Maybe they should of filmed this in Houston, I'm just sayin... The audio on the CD's is clear and gives you a sense of being at the show. It was as entertaining watching as well as listening to the CD in the car. This will be a new holiday tradition in the Ragman household.
Bottom Line: TS showing that they can rock the holidays better than anyone else. A nice mix of classics and Christmas tunes. The band sound and look so great, it makes you yearn for some new material. Maybe, one day.
