Last December, Snider confirmed to Canada’s The Metal Voice that TWISTED SISTER will likely come back together in 2024 for special performances at different political rallies that need the band’s support. He said: “Well, I won’t be surprised if we’re reuniting this election year to champion some important causes. We’re all on the same page — pretty much all of us are on the same page — and I could see us helping fight the good fight. ‘Cause this is a big-picture election, and with things like women’s right to choose, that’s a big-picture thing. That’s gonna hurt the other side. I said ‘the other side’, because I’m not on that side, on the side of Mr. Trump.

“You can’t roll back the clock,” Dee explained. “We’re not going back in time. We’re going forward. The fact that my granddaughter does not have the right to choose just blows my mind. So these are important, important issues. It’ll be less about the politicians and more about the parties they represent and what they represent. Issues like gun control. By the way, I’m the weird… I’m gunned up, man. But I am for intelligent gun control. I’m gunned up. I’m the moderate. I’m that person. I drive a Teslaand an H2 Hummer. I’m an environmentalist and I ride motorcycles.

“When Al Gore said to me, ‘Oh, is Sick Mother-Fuckers (TWISTED SISTER‘s fanbase), is that a Christian organization?’ And I said, ‘Christianity and profanity have nothing to do with each other.’ There’s no ‘thou shalt not curse’, the 11th commandment that apparently was dropped or lost. No — those motherfuckers are cursing too. So everybody’s cursing — like I just did. Sorry. I’m losing it now.”

Snider added: “People say, ‘What’s a moderate? What is a moderate?’ I tell people the middle, the vast middle, need to speak up, because right now the extreme left and extreme right are both. They’re steering the ship, they’re the loudest voices in the room, they’re making the most noise, and the vast middle is sitting too silently. And they’ll say, ‘Well, what’s a moderate these days?’ I said, ‘What’s a moderate? If you’re willing to discuss something and consider a compromise, you’re a moderate.’ Because the people on the extreme left and extreme right, they will not give one inch. They won’t talk about it. They will not compromise under any circumstance. So there’s a lot of us in the middle who may be more right leaning or left leaning. That’s fine. But you need to speak up if you’re willing to have a discussion on a subject and you’re willing to consider compromising on something, ’cause those are the voices that need to be steering the ship, not the unrelenting, unyielding extremes on both sides.”

Dee previously brought up the possibility of TWISTED SISTED becoming active at political events in 2024 during an interview in past April 2023 with Yahoo! Entertainment. At the time, he said: “We were all in favor of gonna go down to support Beto (O’Rourke), but we couldn’t schedule it. You know, the band has a concern that the classic TWISTED SISTER song ‘We’re Not Gonna Take It’ is being co-opted by the extreme right… and 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. So, I think you’ll see us at political rallies and stuff like that. We’ll be out there next year.”

On hand to be inducted into the Metal Hall Of Fame were Snider, guitarist Jay Jay French, bassist Mark “The Animal” Mendoza and Mike Portnoy, who has played drums for TWISTED SISTER since the passing of former member A.J. Pero. Guitarist Eddie Ojeda was absent from the event after contracting COVID-19; filling in for him was Keith Robert War.

The highlight of the ceremony — which also saw FOREIGNER singer Lou Gramm, NWOBHM heroes RAVEN, and guitarists Chris Impellitteri and Doug Aldrich honored — was TWISTED SISTER‘s highly charged three-song set consisting of the staples “You Can’t Stop Rock ‘N’ Roll” and “Under The Blade”, as well as the anthem “We’re Not Gonna To Take It”.

In January 2023, Snider told Eonmusic that there were no additional TWISTED SISTER reunion performances in the works. “A hard ‘no plans’,” he said at the time. “No plans at all to do that.”
