Later that, Snider confirmed a sad fact about the future of Twisted Sister and said that they will no reunion again in the future. Although he missed his band and band members, Snider said that he doesn’t see going back to live stages with Twisted Sister.
“I think that we stayed long enough and it was time for the band to retire in 2016,” Snider continued. “So I don’t see going back to that because I don’t think it was really true to what Twisted Sister was by the end; we’d stopped wearing the makeup, stopped wearing the costumes.
“It was a crazy show in the ’80s – it was crazy. In the 2000s, people started to get slower, and it wasn’t as crazy. People loved it, but I think it’s good that we stopped.”
