The Price and


"The Price" is a power ballad by Twisted Sister, the American heavy metal band formed in 1972 in Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey. Known primarily for hard-driving anthems, this track shows the band's softer, melodic side, making it a useful study in dynamic contrast on electric guitar. It offers players a chance to explore clean tones, restrained picking, and emotive lead work alongside the heavier textures Twisted Sister are known for.

  • Twisted Sister blended heavy metal with glam aesthetics, influencing the 1980s hair metal scene and its characteristic guitar tones.
  • Learning this track gives guitarists practice with dynamic shifts — moving between clean, delicate passages and fuller, driven electric tones.
  • Twisted Sister was formed in 1972 in Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey, building their sound over a decade before mainstream breakthrough.
Gibson Les Paul Standard
Guitar

Gibson Les Paul Standard

Jay Jay French's weapon of choice for Twisted Sister's crushing rhythm work, the Les Paul's thick body and stock PAF humbuckers deliver the warm, sustained lower-register tones that define the band's heavy sound. Its weight and resonance paired perfectly with cranked Marshall tube saturation.

Gibson Les Paul Custom
Guitar

Gibson Les Paul Custom

While not explicitly mentioned in Twisted Sister's primary setup, the Custom's increased weight and tonal characteristics would enhance the thick, sustained rhythm work Jay Jay French demands. The stock humbuckers provide the warm, balanced response essential to the band's direct amp-to-guitar approach.

Marshall JCM800

Marshall JCM800

Twisted Sister's core tone comes from pushing the JCM800's master volume to 7-8 for natural power-tube breakup, creating the band's signature warm saturation without channel switching or extra effects. The moderate presence peak at 5-6 maintains midrange clarity critical to heavy rhythm riffing.

Dunlop Cry Baby Wah
Pedal

Dunlop Cry Baby Wah

Eddie Ojeda's occasional lead texturing tool, the Cry Baby adds expressiveness to solos while maintaining Twisted Sister's minimalist effects philosophy. Straight into the cranked Marshall head, it cuts through without compromising the direct, tube-driven saturation that defines their heavy metal sound.
