I mean, who wouldn’t want to see TWISTED SISTER with Sebastian Bach on vocals? It’s not like we’ve been begging for a reunion with Dee Snider or anything. The band played their second show with Bach on Friday night (September 4) at the Alaska State Fair in Palmer, Alaska, because why not? The setlist was a wild ride, featuring all the hits you’d expect, including “What You Don’t Know (Sure Can Hurt You)”, “You Can’t Stop Rock ‘N’ Roll”, and “We’re Not Gonna Take It”.
Because, you know, that’s exactly what the world was missing – TWISTED SISTER with a different lead singer. I’m sure it’s not like Bach is just trying to cling to the glory days of his SKID ROW fame or anything. According to Setlist.fm, the setlist for the gig was as follows:
01. “What You Don’t Know (Sure Can Hurt You)”
02. “You Can’t Stop Rock ‘N’ Roll”
03. “We’re Gonna Make It”
04. “Shoot ‘Em Down”
05. “Tear It Loose”
06. “Destroyer”
07. “The Kids Are Back”
08. “Like A Knife In The Back”
09. “Ride To Live, Live To Ride”
10. “Under The Blade”
11. “The Beast”
12. “Burn In Hell”
13. “The Price”
14. “I Remember You” (SKID ROW song)
15. “I Wanna Rock”
16. “Youth Gone Wild” (SKID ROW song)
17. “We’re Not Gonna Take It”
So, How Did This Happen?
Apparently, Dee Snider had to step down due to “health challenges”, which is code for “I’m too old for this shit”. And who better to replace him than Sebastian Bach, the guy who’s been trying to relive his SKID ROW days for years? In a March 2026 interview with Meltdown of Detroit’s WRIF radio station, Bach spoke about being chosen to front TWISTED SISTER, saying: “I am a fan of TWISTED SISTER. And I’ll tell you right now, I’m probably a bigger fan of TWISTED SISTER than anybody watching this.”
More Shows to Come, Because You Demanded It
TWISTED SISTER will play an additional ten shows this fall, because why stop now? The band’s new touring lineup consists of Bach on lead vocals, Jay Jay French and Eddie Ojeda on guitar, Russell Pzütto on bass, and Joey Cassata on drums. Pzütto, who had previously toured with Snider’s solo projects, has replaced bassist Mark “The Animal” Mendoza on bass. Joe Franco, who briefly played with the group in the mid-1980s, was supposed to sit behind the drum kit, stepping in for A.J. Pero, who passed away in 2015 at the age of 55. However, Franco is not available to play the fall 2026 shows and is being replaced by Cassata, who played drums on Ace Frehley’s final original solo album, “10,000 Volts”.
And if you’re wondering how Bach was recruited to front TWISTED SISTER, well, let’s just say it’s a match made in heaven. Or hell. Depending on how you look at it. During an appearance on the March 3, 2026 episode of SiriusXM’s “Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk”, Bach stated: “Well, I have tears in my eyes right now. I am SMF Number Two. I was named that by Dee Snider.”
So, there you have it. TWISTED SISTER with Sebastian Bach – the ultimate cash grab…I mean, the ultimate tribute to the glory days of rock ‘n’ roll. Who needs Dee Snider when you have Bach, right? 🤘🎸🤦♂️
