Pero, Mark "The Animal" Mendoza, Dee Snider, Eddie Ojeda, Jay Jay French. Twisted Sister originally played glam rock until Dee Snider joined in 1976 and took over as the songwriter. Jay Jay French and Eddie Ojeda had performed as the band's vocalists until then. Snider quit Twisted Sister in 1987 following the failure of Love Is for Suckers, then the band officially split up in early 1988. They briefly reformed in 1997 for a one-off show at the Industry Club in New York (without Mark Mendoza) and in 1998 to record a song for the horror film Strangeland, written by and starring Dee Snider. Another one-off reunion took place in 2001 to play a benefit concert for the NYPD and FDNY Widows and Orphans Fund following the September 11th terror attacks alongside other NYC artists such as Anthrax, Overkill, and Ace Frehley. The classic Stay Hungry line-up was fully reformed in 2003 as a touring act. Although they had not released an album featuring all-new material since 1987's Love Is for Suckers, they released Still Hungry, a re-recording of Stay Hungry, in 2004 and a Christmas album in 2006. Since 2009 and the 25th anniversary of Stay Hungry, they have stopped wearing make-up and costumes permanently - something bassist Mark Mendoza had been doing since the beginning of the reunion anyway. The band has been known to play low-key "secret" warm-up gigs as Bent Brother with 作为一支来自纽约的成立于70年代早期的乐队，TWISTED SISTER绝对是华丽摇滚乐队NEW YORK DOLLS的忠实学生，KISS的舞台表演和ALICE COOPER的恐怖造型也对其深具影响。 现任成员 Jay Jay French—— 吉他手（节奏/主音），和声，生于1952年7月20日- 纽约 Eddie Ojeda—— 节奏吉他手，和声，生于1955年8月5日- 纽约 Dee Snider—— 主唱，生于1955年3月15日- 阿斯托利亚 Mark Mendoza—— 贝斯手，和声，生于1956年7月13日- 长岛 A.
