00:00We were a Long Island bar band that demanded everybody's attention.
00:06I was wearing like a tied up woman's top and a pair of Daisy Duke shorts, and I then kicked your ass.
00:11How do you explain that to your friends and family?
00:14Embarking on a decade-long rollercoaster ride, hungry for success.
00:19We were like the poster child for an unsignable act for the worst thing ever.
00:23But in 1984, we claimed our prize as the heavy metal gods of MTV.
00:34With rock anthems that were seen and heard everywhere.
00:41We're not going to take it, and I want to rock our standards around the world.
00:44They made us superstars.
00:46But overexposure.
00:48Who was I to say, hey, maybe we should throw it down?
00:51A meltdown in our metal audience.
00:55They went from being dangerous to being my younger brother's favorite band.
01:02And one certain band member who turned the volume up to 11.
01:07I was a megalomaniac by definition.
01:09He would have been the biggest **** I've ever met in this business, and I've met some beauts.
01:14But it was all about D, D, D, D, D.
01:17Sparking a crash and burn like nothing ever seen before.
01:23I didn't know or care what they were going to do afterwards.
01:27Somebody should have said, this could potentially be dangerous.
01:30So when it all fell apart, I was happy it all fell apart.
01:32It was like, **** him.
01:33This is a story of the breakup of Twisted Sister.
01:39Here we go.
