Twisted Sister could have called it quits when Dee Snider officially retired in February. The singer was the face of the band, and one might find it hard to imagine the group without Snider. The makeup and the curls. Heck, what did the rest of the band even look like?
But Twisted Sister wasn't done. In fact, they turned to another 1980s hair band icon to lead them for several shows in 2026. That person would be Sebastian Bach, formerly of Skid Row. The Canadian has had himself a pretty good career, too.
He can still deliver solid vocals, too, arguably better than Snider could, and one of the better voices of his metal subgenre. Can he do "We're Not Gonna Take It" as well as Snider? Probably not, but he can do everything else better.

Twisted Sister has released seven studio albums, the first coming in 1982. After taking a long break after 1987's Love is for Suckers, the band returned in 2004 with Still Hungry, and then followed that with 2006's Twisted Christmas.
While the band never had a single reach higher than No. 21 ("We're Not Gonna Take It" in 1984) in the United States, they did have one song reach No. 5 in Norway, the group's only song to chart in that nation. Oddly, that track was "I Wanna Rock, also in 1984.
