Twisted Sister’s Dee Snider recently told Yahoo! Entertainment that the group will be making a return for political rally performances that need their support. This comes after the band’s recent on-stage reunion at this year’s Metal Hall of Fame leaving fans wondering if this was the band’s official return to the spotlight. 

When the group’s 1984 classic, “We’re Not Gonna Take It”, became an anthem co-opted by the far-right, the group decided it was important for them to separate themselves from the narratives this song is being to support. Snider states in the interview, “We were all in favor of gonna go down to support Beto [O’Rourke], but we couldn’t schedule it.” while also explicitly stating, “we want to make sure that people still know it’s a song for everybody and it does not represent that selfish micro group. It is really for the mass people, the moderate people, the people that just want to live their lives, be themselves, and not have people tell ’em they can’t be themselves”.

Despite Snider’s assurance that the band will be making more political rally appearances, fellow band member Jay Jay French told The Metal Voice, “There’s no reunion to speak, I’m not gonna be so cynical and say that it couldn’t lead to conversations, but we never had a single conversation about a reunion prior to this. Not one”.

Although there may be no formal reunion coming for Twisted Sister, fans can expect the band to be helping out politicians for this upcoming campaign season.
