      Captain Howdy is the name of the demon in the original Exorcist movie.
      The name is only mentioned once in the movie. The girl says "I'm playing with Captain Howdy"

    You mentioned once that you really respected the way Marilyn Manson spoke...Dee Snyder is just as eloquent, well spoken and very very intelligent...him taking Congress to pieces back in the days of "The Satanic Panic" was just beautiful to watch!
    As a lawyer you really should check it out, he would have made an amazing lawyer!

    To answer your question. The video shows both live performances and rehearsals! In which the guitarist is tuning his guitar. And yes, they have their own tuners and at times they tune their own guitars while rehearsing!

    My favorite T.S track is ",I am, I'm me". I'm in my 50s and when i first heard it as a kid a knew that was the track i wanted to be played at my funeral lol. And I'm not particularly a T.S fan, but that track just rock's. Obviously don't know if you've heard it, but if not give that a listen, garrantee you'll get something out of it.

    Hey Alex, in answer to your question about which member is J.J. French, he's the guitarist that's playing the yellow and black guitar and always wearing sunglasses, he's also the founder of this band
    Fun Fact: J.J. French had gotten into music as a way of kicking a drug addiction ( which is really ironic considering that it usually goes the opposite way around)

    There’s a movie with Dee Snider in it as the main antagonist, called Strangeland. A pierced and tattooed sadist, Captain Howdy (Dee Snider), trolls the Internet for naive teens, luring them to his home to torture and defile them. When Howdy kidnaps and tortures the daughter of police Detective Mike Gage (Kevin Gage), he is caught. Deemed insane, he is sent to an asylum but is released soon after, seemingly better. However, Gage knows it is only a matter of time before Howdy strikes again, and he's ready to unleash his own form of retribution when the time comes. Released in 1998.

    Double-neck guitars usually have 2 different guitar "styles". Most of them have a 6 strings guitar and a 12 strings guitar. Recently, more and more varieties come out, such as a guitar and a bass, a 6 strings guitar and a 7 or 8 strings guitar. I have personally never saw a double-neck guitar that had 2 6 strings guitars except for Michael Angello Batio that has a left-handed and a right-handed on the same guitar.

  • @smftv
    @smftv 2 роки тому

    Twisted Sister is my all time favorite band. They're grossly underrated because of the few singles that everyone knows, but only know those songs because they never delved into TS's huge catalogue of music.
    I've seen them, met them and despite the seriousness of The Price, that was just A.J's personality (drummer). Every time I met him, he was smiling, laughing, joking around and making others laugh. He was an awesome guy! RIP AJ.
    Although Twisted Sister poked fun, and never took themselves seriously (their most popular videos being a representation of Wile E. Coyote cartoons) they were at the forefront of the most serious issues of the time, like Dee representing the entirety of the music recording industry along side only two other artists (John Denver and Frank Zappa) who stood up for ALL artists in regards to censorship. The vast majority of TS's songs speak positive messages, and Dee Snider's unmistakable heavy (and ongoing) solo work continues to be relevant and positive today.
    If I may suggest what I think should be the quintessential Twisted Sister reaction video... It HAS to be at the start of their signed days when they played a show with Lemmy from Motorhead (who was a friend and fan). It perfectly showcases how well Dee Snider controls a crowd.
    Twisted Sister "It's only Rock n Roll (but I like it). It's on youtube, and it's an 11:23 masterclass in being a frontman of a rock band.

    For a classic Twisted Video, check out "Be Chrool to Your Scuel". Much better that the 2 airplay hits they have. It features Alice Cooper vocals (and in video), Brian Setzer (Stray Cats) on guitar and Clarence Clemmons (from Bruce Springsteen). As someone who lived through their days as a bar band, they were beasts on the NYC club circuit in the 70's and 80's. They never really captured the same live energy they were famous for on the studio albums. Here is 1982 concert video: ua-cam.com/video/K2LjOhmcq1s/v-deo.html This is from their 9/11 benefit concert that got them back together: ua-cam.com/video/bwDJvDV0SpE/v-deo.html This video is from 1980 when they converted a Brooklyn disco where "Saturday Night Fever" was filmed, into a Metal Club. The quality isn't great but the energy is undeniable.

He was pretty gracious and cool in that admittedly brief moment. ; )

    If you like this ballad, try "I Believe In You". My dad (a school teacher) printed out the lyrics to it and presented it to his class as a poem by "D. Snyder". When they were done reading and analyzing, etc., he then played it for them. Of course, for social studies, he played Iron Maiden's "Alexander the Great" during that lesson so...

    Twisted sister is one of my favourite live bands all-time! The performance, the music, the crowd are always on point!
    I've seen them a few times and am very happy and sad to have seen there last performance on Graspop metal meeting a few years ago, they were the closing act of the Friday night with a lot more bands to get on the stage in the following days, i can say it was hand's down the best live performance I've ever seen ANY band do! Rain was pouring down on 80,000 metalheads, Dee did a fuck god speech and made all of us raise our middle fingers to the sky before blasting "we're not gonna take it" and that song was sung by everyone throughout the whole weekend!!! Such a fucking fantastic weekend it was, soaking wet, covered in mud and nobody gave a f*CK after that single performance!!! @ Alex if you ever want to go to Graspop metal meeting in Belgium, hit me up and I will pay for your ticket and I promise you'll have the best 5 day weekend of your life!

    Love me some Twisted Sister!! This was my favorite song before I discovered Home Sweet Home. In turn this was my favorite band until I discovered Mötley Crüe.
    Also, love the Breaking Bad in the background.

    Love this song and Captain Howdy better than anything else Twister Sister has ever done.

    That tuning is the bass, during rehearsal footage.

    I really like this song as I am a fan of rock ballads 😊 Another great song to check out is Hearts Burst Into Fire by Bullet for my Valentine which is also about the trials and tribulations of being on tour for so long.
