Eddie Ojeda and J.J. French were on the Eddie Trunk show last night for a couple of hours on XM Radio 41 the Boneyard. Twisted Sister is enjoying a moderate level of success with their Twisted Christmas Album. Sales have been surprisingly good, and their has been a demand for more live shows. The band only had 10 live shows planned. On 3 dates remain:

 

Dec 21 2006       8:00 P
Rams Head Live Baltimore, Maryland
     
Dec 22 2006 7:00P
Starland Ballroom Sayreville, New Jersey
Dec 23 2006 8:00P
The House of Blues Atlantic City, New Jersey

This is supposed to be the last disc we see from Twisted Sister, but the great response from the fans may have changed their mind.

Def Leppard Will Begin Recording Their New Album In January

Jonathan Cohen of billboard.com reports:

Def Leppard will begin recording its next studio album in January at frontman Joe Elliott’s house in Dublin. Basic ideas were hashed out on the road during the band’s extensive tour in support of this year’s covers album “Yeah!,” a first for Def Leppard.

“We’ve got about five or six songs on the go, and there’ll be 11 or 12 on the final version,” guitarist Phil Collen tells Billboard.com. “We’re trying to get it out for next summer, which for us would be amazing. But we’ve never been this far along. We come off tour, wait six months, then we start writing. We’ve already got that sorted out.

Collen says the songs thus far have “absolutely” been influenced by the process of making “Yeah!,” which featured Def Leppard’s spin on songs popularized by Thin Lizzy, the Faces and Mott The Hoople. “We did that so quick,” he says. “It was raw, and it didn’t demand we sit around for months or years. That really inspired us.”

“A lot of the songs are anthemic sounding,” Elliott adds. “I wouldn’t say they could have been on ‘Pyromania’ or ‘Hysteria’ but they’re in the vein. Sonically, it’s a little more like ‘Back in Black’ than, say, ‘Hysteria.’ It’s more driving. The songs we’ve got so far are leaning that way.”

Says Collen, “It’s a rawer kind of vibe — more menacing. More of a live sound. Not too glossy.”
