Twisted Sister consists of Dee Snider, Eddie Ojeda.
Twisted Sister is an American heavy metal band from New York City United States popularized in comedic music videos on the television channel MTV in the 1980s. Although formed by guitar player Jay Jay French in 1973, all of their songs were written by the lead singer Dee Snider. They fused the shock tactics of Alice Cooper, the rebellious mood of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, the style of the New York Dolls, and the extravagant makeup of KISS.
The group's hit songs include " We're Not Gonna Take It" and " I Wanna Rock". Many of the band's hits theme around parent vs. child conflicts and criticisms against educational system. The group had a glam-like image but musically they were closer to classic heavy metal bands such as Judas Priest and Motörhead than the other glam metal/ pop metal bands of the era, for example Mötley Crüe, Poison and Ratt.
Twisted Sister was started when Jay Jay French joined a band called Silverstar on February 14, 1973 as a guitar player. He had played in some local bands and has been previously auditioned for Wicked Lester, a band that would eventually become KISS. In those days, he was using the stage name Johnny Heartbreaker. Soon the band changed its name to Twisted Sister upon the suggestion of the band's lead singer Michael Valentine. After he and the other guitarist Billy Diamond had left, Jay Jay assumed also the vocal duties.
In 1975 Eddie "Fingers" Ojeda, a former high school mate of French, joined as co-lead singer and second guitarist. He had previously recorded with a New York City band called SPV.
