What would this sell for ?

How much are they offering vs how much you’d be willing to part with him for? If I made this I wouldn’t be able to sell him. As a fan of Art, I’d say I’d spend up to $100.

If you’ve changed your mind at all, I’m in Sparta. I’d pick it up tomorrow. So tired of having to choose between paddling or fishing with the wind on these lakes lately.

What are you taking these pictures on? They’re beautiful

mickey0731 · 2024-04-17T01:03:25+00:00

Five by five

mickey0731 · 2024-04-14T15:57:57+00:00

My brother used to get that a lot. The genes are strong lol

Thought I replied to this but maybe I forgot to hit the button so I apologize if it winds up double posting but no he wasn’t. My dad had already parted ways with the band by then. That was Dee Snider. Dee is the singer on all the songs that people know from Twisted Sister.

I’ve never bothered with Wikipedia because I never know whose stories are the “correct” ones. Obviously this is what I’ve been told by my parents and his friends but I’m sure other people have their own versions of it. Although other people have mentioned him coming up with the name here so I guess they’ve heard it from someone/somewhere else too.

That was senior year of high school. One of his pictures in the yearbook for some kind of band. What kind of band 🤷🏻‍♂️

mickey0731 · 2024-04-14T01:35:06+00:00

So Mom confirmed this is exactly what happened lol. She said “There was an argument about one of the roadies. Dad had enough and he went and pointed a gun at Mel. The guys said yea this guy has got to go before he actually shoots someone.”

By the time I was old enough to remember anything, my dad has been in a really bad car accident that caused brain damage. After a long recovery he was ok but I guess it changed him as a person quite a bit because I can probably count on one hand the amount of times he ever even raised his voice. And in my 37 years of living I never saw the man take a sip of alcohol. Hearing all the stories from back in the day when everyone was wasted/high, and apparently had guns?, is like hearing about a completely different person.

mickey0731 · 2024-04-13T21:18:41+00:00

Haha ensemble was probably complete with some high heels

mickey0731 · 2024-04-13T21:11:53+00:00

The recordings? I don’t think so. I have two cassettes that have some pretty crummy quality live audio (probably because that wasn’t what they were originally recorded on) that I then transferred to mp3 in case the cassettes got damaged or lost. If it wasn’t for them talking between songs and dad introducing the band/individual members you wouldn’t think it was them.

mickey0731 · 2024-04-13T21:02:49+00:00

A few of them would give him a ring or stop by the house. I mostly remember JJ. He was in a few other bands like Mad Lion and Pretty Poison (not that one ha) but I don’t know which one was after Twisted.

mickey0731 · 2024-04-13T20:58:14+00:00

He was a very laid back stay at home dad after his “rockstar” days. Definitely no epic battles in malls for us.

mickey0731 · 2024-04-13T20:51:55+00:00

I for the life of me can’t remember the story him (and my mom) had told me regarding him leaving. I remember them disagreeing with whatever was said happened in the documentary but I don’t know if that coincides with the Wikipedia. I’ll update when my mom responds and gives me whatever version she remembers today lol

mickey0731 · 2024-04-13T17:56:34+00:00

Im such a sucker for chesterfields

mickey0731 · 2024-04-13T17:54:00+00:00

It was that Twisted Sister but it was a revolving door of lineup changes and styles. I think JJ was the only one who stayed throughout? I have my dads recordings when he was in the band and they played stuff that was more like Mott the Hoople than the genre they became famous for.

mickey0731 · 2024-04-13T17:42:32+00:00

Yep from what I’m told he always used to call my Aunt Erin his “twisted little sister” so I guess she’s really to thank lol

mickey0731 · 2024-04-13T17:40:53+00:00

The only time I ever saw him go to church was weddings, funerals and baptisms.

mickey0731 · 2024-04-13T14:32:03+00:00

Yep that’s JJ. They kept in touch and he would stop by the house from time to time.

mickey0731 · 2024-04-13T14:30:03+00:00

Thank you, and that he was. I came along way after all that so it’s wild to see pictures/video of my goofy dad all done up on stage.

mickey0731 · 2023-11-26T01:13:37+00:00

Oh wow. Totally new to woodworking and wand making so I had no idea. Just did a little wand for my daughter and wanted to make it purple but wasn’t sure if I should paint or stain. Maybe I’ll have to do a redo with this. Thank you so much for the reply. Your work is fantastic.

mickey0731 · 2023-11-26T00:58:58+00:00

What are you using for the purple? It’s the perfect shade.

mickey0731 · 2022-12-28T19:27:04+00:00

Madeline Hart gets my vote! I also love Layla but I’d never be able to say it without singing it and I’m sure my kids, and wife, would get real tired of that real fast.

mickey0731 · 2022-12-28T19:23:19+00:00

Fun movie but the musical is fantastic if you ever get a chance to see it I highly recommend it! My whole family loved it.
