Twisted Sister signing 25th anniversary release of “Stay Hungry” at J&R

Twisted sister will be in J&R Music World signing autographs of the 25th anniversary release of Stay hungry on Tuesday, June 30th at 12:30 pm.

The Rhino Records reissue of the triple-platinum Stay hungry is a double-disc set that features the original remastered album, unreleased demos, and “30,” the group’s first new song in a decade.

Formed in New York, Twisted Sister combined the theatricality of the glam rock movement with a razor sharp edge to conjure its one-of-a-kind sound. The original 1984 release of Stay Hungry was a Top 20 smash that stormed the charts with “I Wanna Rock” and “We’re Not Gonna Take It,” a pair of fist-pumping anthems of youthful rebellion that went Top 40 and helped the album sell more than three million copies.

The quintet has an astonishing run of more than 9,000 (and counting) performances including 75 headline festival dates, performing in front of two million people in over 23 countries. In 2006, the band returned to the charts with A Twisted Christmas, a best-selling, holiday smash album that buzzsaws through yuletide classics and was hailed by the Associated Press as the “second greatest Christmas album ever made” behind Elvis. Twisted Sister’s 35-year legacy includes sales of more than 10 million records worldwide and 35 gold and platinum awards from eight countries.
