Twisted Sister's best-known hits include "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock", which had music videos noted for their sense of humor. Many of the band's songs explore themes of parent vs. child conflicts and criticisms of the educational system. Although the band is often considered glam metal for its image, front-man Dee Snider considers the term to be inappropriate. Twisted Sister are also ranked No. 73 in VH1's 100 greatest artists of hard rock. On April 7, 2015 TMZ.com reported that Twisted Sister would embark on its final tour, dubbed "Forty and Fuck It", in 2016. Mike Portnoy The Winery Dogs and Transatlantic filled in for A.J. Pero on drums on this tour. The band also announced tribute shows in honor of A.J. Pero; the first was in Las Vegas, Nevada, on May 30 and was recorded for the CD/DVD release Metal Meltdown - Featuring Twisted Sister Live At The Hard Rock Casino - Las Vegas, released that July.
