Heavy metal

Twisted Sister is a Heavy metal act. Their sound grew out of David Bowie, Slade, Mott the Hoople, The Rolling Stones and Black Sabbath. Those roots explain a lot about how Twisted Sister arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Quiet Riot, W.A.S.P., Dokken, Poison and Kiss, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Metallica, Y&T, Lita Ford, Fozzy and Joakim Brodén, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 43 connections around Twisted Sister, reaching back through David Bowie and forward to Metallica.
