The Rock Club Daze...
Part 2
The Bands



Twisted Sister / Bent Brother

We miss you already A.J.!!!
We can't thank you enough for being
a huge part of our club-going days!
Our heart goes out to the Pero family
and to every one of your band mates!

They are STILL kicking ass!!
They were simply the best local band of the day in my eyes. They made that night of partying an unforgettable experience! Even the nights when the fucking FDNY would shut the club down while they were still playing
for over crowding... LoL

Dee Snider
Jay Jay French
Eddie "Fingers" Ojeda
Mark "The Animal" Mendoza
A.J. Pero

Fuckin' Dee STILL Rulz!!

And here's proof that these fucking guys can still

kick our asses through their music!!

The reason why they were simply the best club band to me...
I felt as tho I could conquer the world
after being apart of such amazing energy!!!

Reading Festival 1982
Under The Blade

Here's an AWESOME TS Facebook club Daze page

1976 - 1983

Concert for A.J. Pero at the Starland Ballroom 6/13/2015

(Full show!)

Twisted sometimes played under the name of Bent Brother as well.

I guess because of some legal bullshit.

That's my ticket stub from the M.S.G. Felt Forum show back in 1987.
It was the first show ever without make-up and I remember
that Howard Stern and the whole Stern radio crew
were sitting on the stage during the show.
I then sent the stub to Dee in 1996 and he autographed it for me!
And he actually sent it back!
Pretty neat right!

Here are a few emails I sent to Dee during the S.M.F. years

along with his replies. Yeah... he actually wrote back.

How fuckin' awesome is that!!

And yes, they were printed from my old trusty

dot matrix printer... LoL

We're Not Gonna Take It

(official extended video)

You just have to watch it one more time... LoL

It's fuckin' perfect!

How great were these guys!?
When they played Boston & JP's Breakin' The Law!

Remember the lead singer?? Joe Phogg Cardillo.
He used to scare the crap outta me... LoL
These guys were fucking incredible. I remember being in The Rock Palace
as he came walking through the front doors wearing this gigantic furry
coat... he really looked and acted like a true rockstar. Just awesome!

There's the coat in the pic below... LoL
Can't believe I found this pic! For more great pix
check out that other fb link above.

These guys were incredible!

Whenever we saw them play at the Fountain Casino (huge stage)

it was just like watching a headliner playing at MSG...

that's how technically tight they were!

Rush, Pink Floyd, Van Halen... every song was perfect.

It was always a special treat when these guys and some of the members

of TT Quick would join forces on the same stage. So awesome to watch

Kenny Dubman (Prophet) and Dave DiPietro (TT Quick)

both wailing away on guitar...

I remember those fucking nights like it was yesterday! Do you?

Nuthin' to hide behind muthafucka!!

One of the reasons why we went to every show!!

Either you can do this... or... you can't!!

Too awesome!!

The 3rd pic up from here is from Kenny Dubman's Facebook page, thanx Ken!

That's Dave Dipietro on the left and Kenny Dubman on the right.

You're looking at perfection in display! Too cool.

The next 2 photo's of Edgar Cayce came from Russell Arcara's
Facebook page.

This mutha F'er can belt out a tune like no other!!

So thank you Russell and to the rest of the boys, especially

Scott Metaxas and Kenny Dubman... you guys gave my

family and friends SO many incredible nights...

we could never begin to return the favor!

Forever in your corner!!

cheers!

Here's some really great "Pro-shot" footage

of the band on stage at The Capitol Theatre

April 17, 1981.

The footage is such an amazing

flashback for me to watch, but in no way can it

ever bring back the feel of actually being in the crowd

at one of their shows kicking ass!! 

The Soft Parade

That's a promo pic of the band that they gave me on Nov 14, 1981.
The show was at The Factory rock club in Staten Island,
our second home right after The Rock Palace.

We saw the band play almost every show they played up to that point
and they got to know us just a bit.
When they found out that I was shipping out to the navy in a day or 2
they gave me the photo, signed it and wrote that nice note to me.
They also gave me the cow bell and the last set of drum sticks
used on the last song of the night.

We hung out for a bit after the show, had some beers,
told a few war stories... they were really cool guys!

These guys are not the same Soft Parade band from the website link above.

And I'm pretty sure the shirt they're talking about
was one that I had made up that said on the front...
"Try your best"
and on the back...
"Be yourself and fuck the rest"

Back then you could do things like that.
Not like in this politically correct mess we live in nowadays... LoL
I'd probably be arrested if I walked into a club!
