Steel Panther

i bet you hear about them
yea baby, this band really rocks
happy to see/hear something good after long long time. better said good to be back in 80s hair/glam metal/rock era.
not enough to listen their new album, typical arena/anthem style as was 20yrs or more yrs ago.
see their web page with videos and clips, which are really good to me.

There's already a couple threads about these guys lurking around.

I just heard these guys on the radio! Literally, they were on five minutes ago!

Freaky...

Here's one, and I started another one a few months back...

Goes to show us all to properly name the threads. This thread is the only one with the band name in it.

really love that album ... overlayed so many times. almost learn all lyrics. like that ''easy'' style.

Well you all need to get out here to Vegas to see them play.

if i can. but can't. maybe someday, after they gonna be bigger as they are now. and they appear on festivals or to be opener for any huge bands.

Oh boy glam is making a come back!

I saw these guys in Los Angeles when they were known as Metal Skool. Kind of a novelty act, but fun nonetheless.

Still haven't heard this CD but there was a faux "Behind The Music" style promotional video making the rounds a while back (maybe it was posted here? I don't remember where I first saw it) that was freakin' hysterical.

Unfortunately I missed their debut in the UK at Download Festival as they clashed with ZZ Top. But I've listened to the album a couple of the times and it's a solid record. Definitely worth picking up for glam-fans!

still listening their album. not enough to get, so good old music.

I first heard Death To All But Metal this week.

Hilarious if raunchy song.

strike again! This time it's even more tasteless!

I got this cd, and it is very good...filthy raunchy over the top profane lyrics....along the lines of the BLOODY STOOLS...but the musicianship is top notch...It's a great cd.

Well, they look about as merry as I thought they would, but I have yet to check out the album

Why do some of them have to wear wigs, and obvious one's at that? I know it's part of the look but it just makes them look like posers to me. Might have to check out some of their tunes though.

Because they're more of a "parody" of '80s style metal than a band that's trying to do it "for real" if that makes any sense...

Awesome band. I'm waiting for the US release of the album...

I got a free three song promo EP of them last week and listened to it today. Entertaining. I did some reading up on them on Wiki and found that one of the guys used to be in a band with a guy named Dean Cameron. For those of you keeping score at home, he played Chainsaw in the movie "Summer School.

Before they were Steel Panther, they were known as Metal Skool. They were/are an 80's metal tribute band. They had a regular gig at one of those clubs on the Sunset Strip. Like Freddy said, the whole thing is a parody. It's sort of a joke. They're supposed to be over the top.

These guys are HILARIOUS, I just caught them on the morning show on MMR, fan for life I say

I retract my earlier statement
