We remember drummer AJ Pero today (March 20) on the one year anniversary of his passing. AJ passed away of a heart attack at the age of 55.

I got to meet AJ over the years at many Twisted Sister concerts and also got the chance to work with him at the annual Biker’s for Babies motorcycle events back in the day to benefit the March of Dimes. He was such a nice guy and I was very saddened by the news. I recall djing at a bar one night when AJ showed up and hung out with everyone. He signed autographs and took pictures with everybody. He was a real class act. He had joined the band Adrenaline Mob in 2014 as replacement for drummer Mike Portnoy and was also a member of the band Four By Fate.

On June 13, 2015 Twisted Sister payed tribute to A.J. with a special concert at Starland Ballroom in Sayerville NJ. Check out video below.
