RIP aj couldn’t believe when i read this on fb………been a loyal twisted sister fan forever and aj was certainly the missing link in the bank. hearing him drum was like nothing else. gone but never forgotten
Growing up in the beginning of the Blitzkrieg of METAL and then becoming a drummer myself, AJ, s beats were were the ( GO TO ) on how to pound the ground with sound. I remember playing over and over again the album ” You cant stop rock and roll” just trying to get his beats down, and let me tell you there were alot of broken sticks and thrown sticks trying to get AJ,S sound right. My guitarist at the time moved from his normal position just to get out of the way of my flying sticks. I have lost a hero, but TS has lost a brother, and I truly am sorry for your loss. Please if possible could you please play my favorite AJ skin bashing song ( Ride to Live, Live to Ride )…….
