Re: TWISTED SISTER: California Concert Put On By Couple cancelled
TWISTED SISTER's previously announced December 14, 2007 concert at the Bren Events Center in Irvine, California has been cancelled "due to circumstances beyond the band's control," according to a statement released by the group. Ticket holders are being asked to contact the Bren Center for information about refunds.
According to The Orange County Register, the Irvine concert was organized by a a Newport Beach, California couple who borrowed $100,000 to book TWISTED SISTER with the hopes that they would sell enough tickets to make all their money back, and then some.
Had "A Twisted Christmas'¦Caroling for the Corps" sold all 4,300 tickets, it would have paid off the loan the couple took out, and raised more than $100,000 for the Southern California Chapter of Operation Homefront, a national organization that helps pay the bills for the families of deployed troops and those who return home wounded.
As of last Friday (December 7), the couple still had 3,700 tickets to sell. TWISTED SISTER and two other bands, METAL SKOOL and THE IRON MAIDENS (a female tribute band to IRON MAIDEN), didn't commit until about a month ago, so the couple apparently hadn't had much time to get the word out.

This is how I view this....
If you can only sell 600 tickets in an area that size, its time to call it a career. You had a good run. Your place in music history is set. Now retire.
They are touring now, but when its over they should seriously call it quits.

WOW that's embarrassing.
Re: TWISTED SISTER: California Concert Put On By Couple cancelled
This reminds me of that story posted at Sludge from a guy who seen the Bulletboys at some bar recently. It was a crowd of like 30 people, and Marq Torien(lead singer) was telling the crowd how you were gonna be hearing their single from their upcoming album all over MTV, and how they would open up for Led Zeppelin.
He clearly lives in a fantasy world where he thinks its 1988 and he is playing in some arena with Smooth Up in Ya all over the airwaves. If he would open his eyes, he would see 30 people in a bar whose main reason being there is to drink.
I think alot of these 80's acts should retire. Sure, nostalgia is cool sometimes, but these guys have not only diluted their product, they tried staying on the scene for too long and even their most loyal fans don't care.
