:D That TS video/song is truly f***ing awful !  If I didn`t no any better i would`ve thought it was a really bad TS tribute band. They look dreadful.

TSO is a joke, and it's 'strong ties' with Sava have long been severed by Jon Oliva himself, who never wanted to do TSO in the first instance.

I think JT was talking about Twisted Sister's reworking of "Oh Come All Ye Faithful" as a third-rate gumby metal anthem.  Which is complete and utter bollocks.  What a pathetic, unimaginative arrangement.  If the whole "Twisted Christmas" album sounds like that, I hope nobody wastes their money on it.

I quite liked the TSO track.  :)

Have you noticed that it is the same tune as "We're not gonna take It" from Stay Hungry?

In the very beginning TSO was more than a XMas novelty band, but not much  more. I really can't stand any of their material, but at least some of the subject matter was a bit different.

It is very similar, isn't it?  And I noticed the bit where Eddie played the "We're Not Gonna Take It" riff during the solo (not forgetting the weird doom version of "Hava Nagila" at the end...).

It's still tripe though.

How anyone can call TSO a joke is pretty amazing to me I mean if it was a joke why would guitarits such as Alex Scholnick, Al Pitrelli and Chris Caffery have anything to do with it?

Another classic TSO track to a very cool video:
