Dead of Winter Fest: The Trilogy has been and gone, but the stench and the memories from this one are going to stick around for a long while. Thankfully, there weren’t any tricky weather conditions to deal with this time, which allowed Kendo and Kwando from BrainBath to run a flawless festival. They managed to … Continue reading Dead of Winter 3 Video Interview: Toxaemia

Jay Jay French and Eddie Ojeda have confirmed that former Skid Row vocalist Sebastian Bach will front Twisted Sister for a select run of dates this fall. The band was quick to clarify that the appearances won’t interfere with Bach‘s existing or upcoming solo touring commitments.

A short clip of Bach in rehearsal with the band has already surfaced online.

The announcement comes roughly a month after Twisted Sister scrapped its 2026 reunion run entirely. On February 5, the band revealed that Dee Snider had resigned due to health issues, forcing the cancellation of all scheduled dates from April through early summer.

Snider addressed the question of a replacement on a recent episode of the “Beardo & Weirdo” podcast, hosted by Five Finger Death Punch bassist Chris Kael and comedian Craig Gass. When asked whether Twisted Sister could carry on without him, Dee was straightforward: “I hope so. I believe there’s gotta be somebody out there who can kick ass.”

When pressed on whether he had anyone specific in mind, Snider reached back about a decade to explain the situation’s irony:

“All right. Okay. Back it up. Back it up. So cut back to, we’re still reunited — it’s, like, 2014, something like that, and we only do, like, 20 shows a year, and they’re headlining festivals, whatever. And we realized that if somebody got sick or had a problem at home and they couldn’t do a show, it would be a great loss since it was one of 20 shows for the year. So we said, ‘Listen, let’s all find a stand-in guy who will do the job in case we can’t make a show.’”

Dee recalled going directly to Bach with the offer — and getting turned down flat:

“I was trying to get someone to replace me, in case we can’t make a show. And I called him Sebastian Bach. I was, like, dude, ‘Will you be the fill-in?’ And he goes, ‘No way.’ I’m like, ‘What do you mean no way?’ ‘Dude, that’s a thankless job. No, I’m not standing in for you. Never.’ I’m, like, you’re my student. You studied me. You’re a great singer. You can do it. People will love it.’ ‘Nah, nah, no way.’”

Snider also mentioned reaching out to Michael Monroe of Hanoi Rocks with similar results. Now that the shoe is on the other foot, Dee appears to have no hard feelings: “I hear rumors that the band is actually trying to find someone, and I say, God bless ’em.”

When podcast co-host Gass pointed out he’d heard Twisted Sister had already been rehearsing with one of the singers Dee mentioned — an apparent nod to Bach — Snider confirmed it without hesitation: “Yeah, I know there’s been rehearsals with him. And he hasn’t reached out to me. I think he knows he has my blessing. And I would never begrudge anybody continuing to rock.”
