Dee Snider & Roger Glover

Dee Snider joined Eddie Trunk to announce Twisted Sister's return for their 50th anniversary in 2026. After turning 70 and reflecting on the band's legacy, Dee decided it was time for one more run despite previously vowing never to reunite. He discusses the lineup changes, including Joe Franco replacing the late A.J. Pero on drums and Russ Pzutto taking over bass duties due to 'irreconcilable differences' with Mark Mendoza. Dee candidly shares his concerns about maintaining the high-energy performance style that defined Twisted Sister while explaining they'll focus on festival appearances rather than grueling tours. He also reveals they'll perform a setlist curated using AI data to identify their most popular songs worldwide, with a visual presentation that strikes a balance between their iconic 80s look and a more age-appropriate approach. Following that, Deep Purple bassist Roger Glover reflects on the band's iconic live album Made in Japan and its new reissue. He shares stories from his time with Rainbow, discusses working with Ritchie Blackmore, and reveals Deep Purple's plans for a new album and future touring. Glover also touches on the band's current lineup and their approach to live performances.
