(PR) In honor of the 30th anniversary of the Star Wars saga, Twisted Sister vocalist Dee Snider has been interviewed by the mysterious Maul Stanley (a parody hybrid of Star Wars character Darth Maul and Kiss guitarist Paul Stanley). As part of this special week-long event, Maul Stanley has also interviewed members of Poison, Cinderella and Quiet Riot regarding their own unique Star Wars experiences. Maul Stanley: Do you see any similarities between what you do with Twisted Sister and what George Lucas did with Star Wars?

Dee Snider: Well, I can very much appreciate the challenge of living up to your own history because I've experienced that in the music industry. It's difficult not to second-guess yourself when you're trying to recreate the formula for what gave you success in the first place, especially when there really was no formula! In the case of Star Wars, George Lucas was just going with his gut. People kept saying, "Are you insane? A space movie? No one's watching those anymore!" But Lucas stuck to his guns and it paid off for him big time. However, when you go back and revisit something as successful as that, that's when you begin to doubt yourself. I'm sure George reads what the fans are saying on the bulletin boards and in the chat rooms, hoping to interpret what they want. But the minute you start doing that, it's the kiss of death! It's always difficult to follow in your own footsteps.[see full story for more] - Click here for the Full Story
