Rock and metal fans love a good debate, and this one has kicked the hornet’s nest all over again.
Former Twisted Sister guitarist Jay Jay French believes that if the legendary glam metal outfit were ever to perform again, Sebastian Bach would be the natural choice to take over vocal duties—and he says it’s the fans who need to embrace the idea.
🎸 A New Voice for a Legendary Band?
Twisted Sister officially called it a day following their farewell tour after the death of drummer A.J. Pero in 2015. Since then, speculation has never really disappeared about whether the band could ever return in some form.
According to French, Sebastian Bach possesses the power, personality and classic metal credentials to front the band if the opportunity ever arose.
Rather than focusing on replacing the irreplaceable Dee Snider, French argues that fans should see it as a celebration of the music rather than an attempt to rewrite history.
🔥 Sebastian Bach Is No Stranger to Big Shoes
Best known as the unmistakable voice of Skid Row, Sebastian Bach has spent decades proving he’s one of hard rock’s greatest frontmen.
His soaring vocals, larger-than-life stage presence and love of classic heavy metal have made him a fan favourite worldwide. Whether performing Skid Row classics or his own solo material, Bach has never been shy about wearing his influences proudly.
For many fans, the thought of hearing him belt out Twisted Sister anthems like:
- 🎵 We’re Not Gonna Take It
- 🎵 I Wanna Rock
- 🎵 The Price
- 🎵 Burn In Hell
is certainly an intriguing prospect.
🤔 But What About Dee Snider?
Of course, Dee Snider remains one of the most iconic frontmen in rock history.
His unmistakable voice, charisma and rebellious attitude helped turn Twisted Sister into one of the defining bands of the 1980s.
For many fans, nobody could ever truly replace him—and that’s exactly why the conversation is proving so divisive online.
French isn’t suggesting anyone could become the “new” Dee Snider. Instead, his view appears to be that great songs deserve to be performed, even if another respected vocalist is behind the microphone.
🎤 The Internet Has Opinions…
As you’d expect, social media hasn’t exactly stayed quiet.
Some fans are fully behind the idea, arguing Sebastian Bach has the vocal range and theatrical energy to do the songs justice.
Others feel Twisted Sister simply shouldn’t continue without Dee Snider, believing the band’s identity is inseparable from its original frontman.
It’s the kind of debate rock fans absolutely love:
Should legendary bands retire with their original members, or is there room for new singers to keep the music alive?
🤘 The Riff Report Verdict
This is one of those stories guaranteed to split the rock community right down the middle.
Nobody is ever going to replace Dee Snider—that much is undeniable. But Sebastian Bach has spent his career proving he’s one of the finest voices in hard rock, and if anyone has the pipes to tackle Twisted Sister’s back catalogue, he’s certainly near the top of the list.
Whether it ever happens is another question entirely, but one thing’s for sure—if Bach ever walked on stage to scream “We’re Not Gonna Take It!”, the internet might just explode. 💥
🎸 What Do You Think?
Would you welcome Sebastian Bach as the voice of Twisted Sister, or should the band remain part of rock history without a new singer?
