The new album, Balls Out is due out on the 18th of October.

[binnie]

It's the same joke, but it made me smile nonetheless.

Def Leppard will undoubtedly cringe when they hear this.............

[Seshmeister]

With slightly different lyrics Def Leppard would be very pleased if they'd written this.

[binnie]

Watch it, Sesh, or you'll Armageddonit!!

[Seshmeister]

Well that's my slight problem with this single.

How do you parody something like that?

It's like trying to satire Sarah Palin, you can't exaggerate it. :)

[binnie]

I guess you could have a drummer with no arms......

[Seshmeister]

It's very short isn't it.

I wonder if there is a reason for that, they are quite savvy and the first single of the debut album was very short too.

[binnie]

Maybe it's because jokes work best when they're short.

I mean who would want to listen to a 16 minute odyssey entitled 'The Ballad of the Butt-Crack'?

[ToraToraTora]

It's very short isn't it.

I wonder if there is a reason for that, they are quite savvy and the first single of the debut album was very short too.

It might be the radio edit version and theres 2 verses missing full of wank bollocks tit fuck cunt and twat.

I like it though

[High Life Man]

Wait'll you hear "Tongue Punch to the Fart Box".

[LEFTY is Gar's Bitch]

catfood is good on crackers.

Brethren and Sistrem,

The GODLESS©®™ have once again brought us this gem!

"It's like a buffet of cocaine, pot, heroin, and sleeping pills… it's like a super hot chick that has a tube coming out of her forehead that Jack Daniels comes out of so when you're fucking her you can drink the Jack Daniels… now that's a fucking hot bitch, and she doesn't talk either or get pregnant, yep, and she's got killer tits and a set of balls… just for that kind of kinky fucking feeling you get… if you're feeling like, you know, fucking mashing your nuts up against another pair of nuts… BALLS OUT©®™, oh, BALLS OUT©®™!!!"

That is all.

Icon©®™

[High Life Man]

Track by track description of the new album. Give them the Grammy RIGHT FUCKING NOW.

[High Life Man]

Saw that Crossfire thing earlier. Brilliant!

[High Life Man]

OK. I think some of you know these guys from back in the day. What's the deal?

Who writes their bits? And where did they get their improv training? There's clearly a mix of both. Always cracks me up.

[Seshmeister]

I think they write their own bits, you don't need to be trained to be funny. In fact better not to be.

They've just announced a UK tour supporting Crue and Def Leppard!!!

http://www.livenation.co.uk/artist/def-leppard-and-mötley-crüe-and-steel-panther-tickets?c=twit_wp_download_defmotleypanther_300811

Ideally the running order would be the reverse to make it easier to skip DL but that's the way it goes...

[High Life Man]

You gonna go?

[Seshmeister]

Of course, if it doesn't sell out right away! :)

I flew to London to see them last time. I could live without seeing Def Leppard again. I've also been boycotting Crue since they did a shortened set here for the Dr Feelgood tour so they could fuck off home early on the last night of the tour. I guess 20 years is long enough.

The funny thing of course is the prescient lyrics of 'Death to all but metal'


Where is Def Leppard?
Where is Motley Crue?


My main worry is the show being ruined for me because of my obsessiveness about bands using tapes 'live'.

Crue and Leppard are high on the suspicion list for it...

[High Life Man]

Cool. Looking forward to a review.

I saw them in Chicago a month or so ago - they only sang one new song: Critter.

[Seshmeister]

Tickets sorted.

If anyone wants to hook up for a party I'll be the the fairly drunk guy leaving with the inexplicably attractive girls during Love Bites... :)

STEEL PANTHER GOES BALLS OUT

Sophomore Album Slated For Release On November 1st Via Universal Republic Records

(October 7, 2011 – New York, NY) – The legends of the Sunset Strip, Steel Panther, are getting ready to release their sophomore album Balls Out via Universal Republic Records. The album will be released on November 1st and will continue the raucous tradition of the band’s 2009 debut, Feel The Steel. The latest album features 14 soon to be classics such as “Just Like Tiger Woods,” ”“Gold Digging Whore” and “Weenie Ride.” The album also features cameos by Dane Cook on the album opener “In The Future” and Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger and Extreme axeman Nuno Bettencourt show up on an instant classic, “It Won’t Suck Itself.” Balls Out was produced by Grammy nominated producer/mixer Jay Ruston who produced the band’s Feel The Steel debut and is known for his work with Anthrax, Meatloaf, The Donnas and Morrissey to name a few.

The first single from Balls Out is “17 Girls In A Row” and will be impacting at radio over the next few weeks. The song showcases the band’s ability to write memorable hooks while mixing them with their signature style lyrics like “I banged 17 girls in a grocery store and never lost my erection.” With its driving opening drum beat and infectious guitar riff, “17 Girls In A Row” will be sure to heat up rock airwaves and give it a much needed kick in the balls – no pun intended.

Steel Panther was, for a long time, rock’s best-kept secret: a cult legend on the LA scene. But in recent years due to the success of their debut, the band has enjoyed huge acclaim from fans and peers alike. At sell-out club shows in Hollywood and Las Vegas, Steel Panther has been joined on stage by rock and roll icons such as Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, Paul Stanley of KISS, Corey Taylor of Slipknot, Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine/Audioslave, Chester Bennington of Linkin Park and Green Day to name a few. Across the Atlantic, the band has shared arena stages with ZZ Top and rocked an audience of 30,000 at the UK’s Download festival. In Germany, Feel The Steel was proclaimed ‘Best Debut Album’ at the Metal Hammer awards. The band will be heading out on a UK tour with Def Leppard and Motley Crue in December before coming back to start a nationwide tour of the US in 2012.

Steel Panther is Michael Starr (vocals), Satchel (guitar), Lexxi Foxx (bass) and Stix Zadinia (drums).

[VAiN]

I guess you could have a drummer with no arms......

I wish I could thank you more than once... Just reviewing this thread and totally LOL'd at this one - again!! classic man! :lmao:

[Seshmeister]

Interesting cover, wonder if some US stores will refuse to stock it.

Not that many people buy albums in stores any more...

When I first discovered Feel the Steel , the more I listened, the more it rocked and I already see that same pattern developing with Balls Out.

Balls Out has everything you would want on a Steel Panther record; offensive and fun sing along choruses that you’ll have memorized within a matter of seconds, clever and brilliant lyrics, sexual metaphors, riffs that will make your neck swore, at least seven or eight singles that will make Billboard’s “Hot 100” and music that genuinely rocks.

Balls Out is kind of like the movie Memento or The Big Lebowski where you watch it once, and you’re thinking “Damn, that movie kicked ass,” and because it kicked that much ass, you watch it for a second time and now you’re saying to yourself, “What the hell? I can’t believe I missed that, now I get it! This movie kicks even more ass!” Balls Out has a similar effect – the more you listen, the more it rocks and you pick up on subtleties you didn’t notice the first time around.

Yeah, that’s the Balls Out listening experience in a nut-shell.

But is Balls Out better than Feel the Steel ? Feel the Steel also shares the qualities mentioned above so which is better?

Well, let’s check it out:

“In the Future” (1:28)

Balls Out kicks-off with an intro track called “Into the Future” that features a futuristic voice over by Dane Cook. Penile impregnation pills and pussy are the subject matter here. Mötley Crüe’s “In the Beginning” says hi.

“Supersonic Sex Machine” (3:10)

"Supersonic Sex Machine" sets the tone right away with an opening riff that’s heavier than the chicks Stix bangs. Panther wastes no time getting your adrenaline flowing, your head banging and your pussy w… It’s definitely one of the fastest songs Panther has ever done, maybe the fastest?

“Just Like Tiger Woods” (3:41)

Lyrically, “Just Like Tiger Woods” might be the strongest song on the record. It’ll have you grinning and singing along in a matter of seconds. The sound is unquestionably true to the 80’s hair metal genre. If there’s one thing to take away from this record, it’s that “three holes are better than a hole in one.” Tiger will be proud.

“17 Girls in a Row” (3:41)

Ah, “17 Girls in a Row.” Most of us have already heard “17 Girls in a Row” on the radio or downloaded the single from iTunes, but let’s take a quick look at this killer tune anyway.

“17 Girls in a Row” is Balls Out’s head bang special with a sound similar to Mötley Crüe’s “Dr. Feelgood” and a riff heavy enough to bend steel. I can’t wait to hear it live - I'll be putting up fists of metal.

“If You Really Really Love Me” (2:25)

Again, another track we are already familiar with and really really love. As mentioned earlier, “Just Like Tiger Woods" might be the strongest song in terms of lyrics, but the line “Don’t whine when I put it in your booty or if I’m up all night playin’ Call of Duty” is the single best line on the record, but that’s just my opinion and what the hell do I know?

“It Won’t Suck Itself” (2:54)

What the hell? Is that Chad Kroger of Nickelback is singing on the new Panther record? Yes, yes it is and he sounds pretty killer - It’s easily the best song he’s ever done. Seriously, Chad Kroger is the last person on planet earth I’d expect to sing the lyrics, “It won’t suck itself” on a song, yet Panther got him to do it – that’s pretty impressive considering the clean reputation Kroeger holds. Now if your panties are still in a bunch with Kroeger making the album, you’ll be happy to know that it’s Nuno Bettencourt of Extreme pleasuring your ears with the guitar solo. If the message from “It Won’t Suck Itself” doesn’t get a chick on her knees (hot chicks aren’t very smart and might not get it), the double bass drum from Stix will.

“Tomorrow Night” (2:58)

Fuck. Yes.

“Tomorrow Night” is probably my current favorite. Simply because it’s fun as hell to sing along to and it’s the ultimate party anthem. And again we have some more influence from Mötley Crüe here (see “Looks that Kill”). The name drops on this track are classic. Leave it to Panther to fit Kiefer Sutherland, Christopher Walken, Britney Spears and Charlie Sheen all in one song (the Charlie Sheen drop is epic…or should I say, “WINNING!”). “Tomorrow Night” will surely be an early fan favorite and will be cranked at parties everywhere (even if the party is tonight). Please add to your live set list, Panther!

“Why Can’t You Trust Me” (4:01)

This power ballad has a deep message and Michael delivers it perfectly. Michael says what guys everywhere want to say to their chicks, but are afraid to do so. Girls, do your man a favor and listen to this song, otherwise, he might “go Chris Brown and punch you in the neck.”

“That’s What Girls Are For” (3:39)

Hints of Def Lep here. “That’s What Girls Are For” is another song with an important message that all chicks need to listen to. Girls, if you’re ever in doubt on what you should be doing for your man, simply put on Balls Out, skip to track 9 and press play.

“Gold Digging Whore” (3:55)

“Gold Digging Whore” is undeniably the “grocery isle” song on the record. You know, the kind of song you sing while shopping up and down the grocery isle. The riff and solo are bitchin’ as hell, but "Gold Digging Whore" double as an educational tool too. We get awesome group vocals spelling out “G-O-L-D D-I-GG-I-N-G W-H-O-R…………E!” several times on this song – think old school Panther (“I Want Pussy”). You can throw away the Sesame Street DVDs…little Tommy will be able to spell “Gold Digging Whore” in no time!

“I Like Drugs” (4:19)

Here’s a 2-for-1'er. You get a group vocals chorus which is impossible to forget along with a skit a third of the way in with Michael getting pulled over by an officer. No spoiler alerts here, but the skit is pretty entertaining.

“Critter” (3:38)

Yeah! Studio version! I really dig the riff on "Critter," always have. Another track many of us are already familiar with (Panther plays live). “Critter” is definitely a filthy and insulting song, but it’s not the most offensive song on Balls Out - that would be the next song…

“Let me Come In” (3:30)

Needs more cowbell!

This song might eventually be my favorite on the record. Just by looking at title, you can pretty much imagine what it’s about, but the interesting thing about this song is that it gradually gets worst and worst and by worst I mean offensive, dirty, crude and more bitchin'. At first, you’ll think “Pff, this isn’t so bad” but as the song progresses…“Oh, yep, there’s the Panther I know and love.” “Let Me Come In” is without doubt the most offensive song on the record with a memorable riff to boot.

“Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, I give ya somethin’ to chew, yeah”

“Weenie Ride” (4:20)

While writing this review, a fan tweeted me asking what to expect from “Weenie Ride.” I basically told him picture “Home Sweet Home,” but with more heartfelt lyrics and bitchiness. That’s Stix on the piano by the way. I couldn’t think of a more appropriate way to end Balls Out.

So is Balls Out better than Feel the Steel ? Well, some have already stated it is, but whether it is or not, who the hell really cares? Balls Out is Steel Panther at their best and that's all you can really ask for. This album is loud, it rocks and most importantly, it's a fucking good time!

Some will say Feel the Steel is better simply because they received their very first blow job while "Community Property" was playing and that’s a fair argument, but who knows, maybe they'll have their first threesome to "Weenie Ride."

Let’s end it here and if you’ve made it this far, I thank you. I know this is was pretty lengthy review, but honestly, it’s as short as I could possibly make it – there’s so much more to this record that we could talk about.

Thank you Rock and Roll, thank you Heavy Metal, but most importantly, thank you Steel Panther – life would suck without you.

I give Balls Out a score of 51/50.

[High Life Man]

I wanna hear the two JP bonus tracks.

Rest of the album is great. "Weenie Ride" had me cracking up while driving. Really funny.

Get this album!

[Seshmeister]

Yeah I've only heard it once but it's great.

Seemed to me to get better as it goes on.

[Seshmeister]

Oh no why did I look... :D

HEAVY METAL’S BACK (AGAIN): THE ULTIMATE BALLS-OUT STEEL PANTHER INTERVIEW

Wednesday, October 26th


http://www.metalsucks.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Press-Shot-1-449x600.jpg


In one sense, making records is like using the toilet: It takes more to do number two than number one. And in the case of L.A. heavy metal semi-parodists Steel Panther, a follow-up to their wildly funny and compulsively banging 2009 debut Feel The Steel is an even bigger, stinkier challenge: This time, fans can see them coming, um so to speak. But in the spotlight’s glare, before expectant ears and faces poised to smile, lead singer Michael Starr and crew deliver a bigger, dirtier, and awesomer mass of heavy metal hilarity called Balls Out (available Tuesday). The 14-track tour de farce covers 47 amazing minutes, a range of hot-button rocker issues (drugs, gender roles, boners), and a load of singalong mega-choruses and nip-scorching guitar solos unheard since pro tools was just an aisle at Sears. To those somehow able to resist Feel The Steel, I say: You’re fucked now. Balls Out is stronger than you and your feeble protestations. Crank. It. Up.

This feat of skill and cocksmanship on display in Balls Out begs for investigation, so last week I went to hear firsthand how Steel Panther achieved the equivalent of making a Ghostbusters II better than its Ghostbusters I. And though it was a rainy, gusty Autumn night, the huge Steel Panther dressing room was buzzing heatedly as I sat down with Starr and lead bass player Lexxi Foxxx to get answers. Just nearby were lead guitarist Satchel (at whom I gazed lovingly whenever his inattention allowed) and lead drummer Stix Zadinia (with entourage) as the three of us gabbed highly about Balls Out, drugs, vaginas, immaturity, maturity, the guy from Nickelback, shaving stuff, the responsibilities of being Steel Panther, and much more.


Michael Starr: [to the room] Hey guys, can you keep it down a little? We’re doing an interview here.

Stachel: Oh yeah, look at that.

Stix Zadinia: Are you serious?

Anso DF: [To Satchel, Stix] Do you guys wanna join? [To Michael] They can join us!

Michael: No.

Satchel: I’d love to.

Stix: Yeah, totally!

Michael: No.

Stix: There’s some stuff I could tell you about those guys.

Michael: It’s okay. [To Stix] Alright? Can you keep it down? You guys, the crew’s not even supposed to be in here. Fuckin’ tattooed loser.

Stix: [mocks] ”The crew’s not even supposed to be in here.”

All: [laughs]

Stix: Take the balls out of your mouth, Starr.

Michael: Ha ha.

Lexxi Foxxx: That’s funny cuz our record is named Balls Out.

ADF: I want to talk about that. It’s finally coming out in a couple weeks.

Michael: We’re excited. [expressionlessly] Just look at the excitement. [hitches an eyebrow] Fuckin’ stoked, dude. Pre-botox.

Lexxi: We are. Have you heard it?

ADF: Feels like you guys’ve been working on it for a while.

Michael: Yeah, a long time. It takes a while to record and perform shows inbetween the time that we’re recording.

Lexxi: And think of ideas of what we’re gonna do.

Michael: Plus, the most important thing is the artwork. That took, like, the longest. The songs were done pretty quickly.

Lexxi: Yeah, we were done for a while, and, well … There was a whole month where we weren’t doin’ shit. We’d each take different vacations, then I’d get my botox done at a different time that he was. So to do the album layout, I had to wait, then he had to wait. His wasn’t setting yet, mine was setting too fast, I went back in and got more stuff done … all this kind of shit. But it’s because we give a shit.

I remember the first record I got, it was because of how the album looked — not what it was on the inside. There was bitchin’ colors and there was a hot chick and these dudes looked bitchin’. We’re bringing heavy metal back, so we have to do it outside of the record and inside of the rec — [lost, looks to Starr] — You have to look good and sound good.

ADF: Yeah, Balls Out looks good. I really appreciate the cover concept cuz no one puts sexy, hot sluts on their album anymore.

Michael: That was Stix’s idea, actually. I had an idea for the record [art], and everyone really liked it. Then Stix came up with this better idea of putting a girl on the front, and I was like –

Lexxi: Yours was really good. You had the gymnasium idea, right?

Michael: …

Lexxi: Maybe that was my idea.

Michael: I think that was your idea.

Lexxi: …

Michael: My idea was us on a tractor, remember? With all the Amish people?

Lexxi: Yeah. It just didn’t make sense because our record doesn’t have anything to do with Amish people. That’s why it got –

ADF: There were no balls.

Michael: Well, there were balls in the picture, and Amish people were pushing them, and then we’re on a tractor behind them.

ADF: Conceptually sound, but not executable.

Michael: Actually the idea was too expensive. So we got one model … And Stix’s idea was cool. I agree with you — and so do Lexxi, Stix, our manager, our label, and our publicist — that sex sells. So, having a chick with big ol’ titties, and you can see her camel toe –

ADF: I can totally see it. Of course, I zoomed way in.

Michael: You can! It’s actually airbrushed a little smoother, but prior to that you could actually see her, uh –

Lexxi: Her moose knuckle. Everything was just hanging out. [To Starr] Do you remember [the paparazzi photo of] Britney Spears getting out of the car?

Michael: I remember that, yeah. It reminds me of the Pam and Tommy video.

Lexxi: Oh yeah.

Michael: She had a big pussy. You have to have a big pussy to use a big cock, though.

Lexxi: Tommy’s got, from what I hear –

Michael: I’ve seen it. It’s huge.

Lexxi: — an enormous piece.

Michael: It’s long.

Lexxi: Is it long? Like a snake?

Michael: Yeah.

Lexxi: They say a lot of skinny, taller guys have big penises.

ADF: That is totally true.

Michael: Some of them do.



Starr (left) and Foxxx
ADF: I read an interview in which Satchel states that Balls Out is not Steel Panther’s sophomore record, but rather Steel Panther’s “second debut album.”

Michael: He’s confused.

ADF: I’m confused by the mechanics of that.

Michael: He’s just confused, you’re not confused. You’re actually –

Lexxi: Satchel said that it was a second debut album?

Michael: You know that expression, “You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression”?

ADF: Sure.

Michael: That’s where he’s confused. Cuz we’ve already made our first impression. It’s like a stamp. Once you stamp somebody, they can’t –

Satchel: [from nearby] This is like a first chance to make a second impression.

ADF: [laughs]

Satchel: You can throw that in [the interview text] if you want.

Michael: A what? A first chance to make a second impression? That’s amazing. You know what, dude? He was right. This is our second debut record. It really is.

Lexxi: You’re saying that you were confused by that?

ADF: Yes.

Lexxi: I guess we all were confused by that a little bit. But now it’s all cleared up, right?

ADF: Completely. These interviews really work.

Michael: That’s the reason for ‘em. The questions that you ask are good. I think this record is a more mature record for us in an immature way. Does that make sense?

ADF: So you’re better now at being immature?

Michael: Exactly.

ADF: I noticed that there are a couple really fast songs on it.

Lexxi: So you’ve heard the record?

ADF: Yes, just last night!

Michael: Oh really?

Lexxi: Is that right? They just let you hear it or they gave you a copy?

ADF: It was a stream.

Lexxi: [blankly] It was what?

ADF: A stream.

Lexxi: Extreme?

Michael: He was in the country listening to it by a stream.

Lexxi: Oh. Cuz Extreme … I haven’t heard any of their later stuff.

ADF: Hey, that dude from Extreme plays on Balls Out (“It Won’t Suck Itself”). He still brings the shit, right?

Lexxi: Uno! Uh, Nuno!

Michael: Here’s something you don’t know. Our manager, Paul Geary — and Glen Parrish, they manage us simultaneously — is the drummer from Extreme. [eyeballs Satchel] Glen Parrish comes from a line of gardeners and Nuno Bettencourt was in Extreme. So it’s full circle: We have a lot of metal and our front lawn looks killer.

ADF: Did Nuno comment at all on the Steel Panther song “Girl From Oklahoma”? It’s kinda in the same family as Extreme’s mega-hit.

Lexxi: Um, “More Than Words”?

ADF: Yeah.

Michael: See, “Girl From Oklahoma” was written a long, long time ago.

Lexxi: Mmm-hmm. This is our [approach] on certain things: Those people were so young then, and it was a number-one hit in the whole world for a long time. And for us to –

Michael: We’re recycling.

Lexxi: Right. Some people didn’t get a chance to hear that song that way. What we did is make it more bitchin’er –

Michael: Like what Van Halen did with The Kinks’ “You Really Got Me.” It’s like an ode to Extreme. It gets to the point where it’s different [enough] that we don’t have to pay royalties to them. That’s the key.

Lexxi: You wait enough time and you change shit around a bunch.

Michael: You gotta go past the fifth note, and you’re safe.

Lexxi: It’s amazing that you notice that, cuz a lot of people don’t pick that out from Adam. [To Starr] Huh, I wonder why people say that.

Michael: What.

Lexxi: About Adam. Why would anyone say that.

Michael: [prompts Foxxx] What’s another way to express yourself?

Lexxi: [struggles] Nobody would really pick that out from a needle … Like, they wouldn’t be able to find a needle in a haystack. I’ll just use “needle in a haystack.” Because Satchel can mix it up and change it, so most people don’t even get that. But that’s why you’re a writer. You can print that. Cuz nobody’s asked about that yet, and that’s one of our little tricks up our sleeve.

Michael: [To Foxxx] You should write that down. It’s great.

ADF: On Feel The Steel, some –

Lexxi: Um, hold on. [To Michael] I think you’re being sarcastic.

Michael: [laughs] I’m gonna put on some eyeliner.

Lexxi: Go ahead.

ADF: A couple Feel The Steel jamz had been around for a while, like “Stripper Girl.” But for Balls Out, you had to start from scratch and write 15 new songs?

Lexxi: Totally.

Michael: [flatly, applies eye make-up] Uh-uh. Wrong, wrong, wrong. A lot ofthose songs have been around; they’ve just been refined. But the majority of them are newly written. But also, they’ve been written over a four-year period. Cuz once we got our [record] deal, Satchel just started writing and writing and writing. The guy can’t stop writing; we have to pull him out of his hotel and say, “Stop writing! It’s time to get your hair cut.”

Lexxi: Yeah.

ADF: [laughs]

Michael: Know what I mean? He comes out looking like Charles Manson, but he comes out with great songs.

ADF: Feel The Steel is one of those albums where every couple weeks, a different song on the album is my favorite.

Lexxi: You know what, that reminds me of Appetite For Destruction. That’s amazing you say that; I appreciate the compliment. And I can’t wait ’til you really get ahold of [Balls Out]. The reason I had to listen to them is that I had to learn them — and re-learn them and re-learn them again. But it’s really cool that you feel that way; I think Balls Out is gonna be the same way if not even more. Even right now, it’s so fun for me cuz the record is fresh in my head. It’s like, I have the same thing that you’re experiencing: My favorite song is “Tiger Woods” but tomorrow, maybe it’ll be a different song.

Michael: My favorite song is “Tomorrow Night.” [To Lexxi] Both songs that are our favorites start with the letter T.

Lexxi: And we recorded them.

ADF: So they have two things in common. [This is inaccurate; the song's official title is "Just Like Tiger Woods." -- ADF] The one that really speaks to my soul at the moment is “Why Can’t You Trust Me?” I really lived that song.

Michael: Who hasn’t?

ADF: I relate especially lyric in which Michael threatens revenge on his girlfriend via sleeping with her friends. That’s so real to me. I’ve had to actuate that threat and I appreciate that my struggles have been captured that way.

Lexxi: Wow. That’s awesome that you can have a life lesson like that.

Michael: The worst thing about having a girlfriend is when they get a fat ass. That’s not fair to me; my ass [smacks own ass] is not getting fat. A girl shouldn’t take a bigger shit than a guy.

Lexxi: Another mean thing girls do that’s horrible is when you’re trying to watch sports or do something, they keep talking. [drifts] And when I know directions [but] they think they know the best way.

Michael: Girls should just sew and be good-looking.

Lexxi: Hey, did you like “Gold-Digging Whore”?

ADF: Yeah! I love the gang vocals where the song’s title is spelled out. And correctly, too.

Michael: We had to actually make sure it was right. Thank god for Wikipedia.

Lexxi: We recorded this song for our last record, “I Want Pussy,” and Michael had a tough time with that.

Michael: We were gonna do a song called “Gold-Digging Tranny Whore” — too many letters.

ADF: It may have to be in some obscure time signature.

Lexxi: Well, that and the song would have to be a lot longer. Y’know, for radio.



For boobs (left); for drugs
ADF: Let’s talk about another guest on Balls Out, the guy from Nickelback. I am a heavy metal journalist and I ask the tough questions –

Michael: Ah, okay.

ADF: Chad Krueger from Nickelback guests on the record –

Michael: Kroeger.

ADF: What’d I say?

Lexxi: You’re getting him confused with the Friday The 13th guy.

ADF: Each is pretty scary.

Lexxi: So, what I’m getting is that you’re not so –

Michael: [To Lexxi] No, no let him ask the question. Let’s see where he’s gonna go with it.

ADF: What is Chad Kroeger doing on the record? I mean, you guys know what rocks. You’re the foremost rockers around –

Michael: Then why are you asking us? If we know what rocks, why are you asking us that question?

Lexxi: Yeah.

ADF: Oh, you’ve caught me in a logic trap: You guys know what rocks and Chad Kroeger is on your record, therefore he rocks?

Michael: He paid us to be on the record. [laughs]

Satchel + Stix: [laughs, from just within earshot]

Lexxi: Second of all, listen to this: He has more bitchin’ shit in his house … I don’t give a shit. He has go-karts that go all the way around the house. And ice-skating things. He was like, “Please come party at my house. I’ll do a song with you.” He’s got bitching shit. It was fun to hang out at his house, and he wanted to do a song, so we put one of his little songs on there. It’s what it is.

Michael: Did you say “one of his little songs”?

Lexxi: Well, he was able to do what he …

Michael: Did you say “one of his little songs”? Like, “Oh it’s Chad Kroeger. We’ll have to put one of his little songs on the record”?

Lexxi: Well, I know you know that … He has bitchin’, bitchin’ –

Michael: [To Lexxi] Look, Chad Kroeger is not a heavy metal guy. What is he doing on the Steel Panther record? That’s the question he wants to know the answer to.

Lexxi: I didn’t know that was the question. We’re trying to bring Chad fuckin’ back to heavy metal.

Michael: There you go. [To ADF] You have to start at the top. You listen to their [next] record; when you hear it, you’ll go, “I see what Steel Panther was up to.” We’re like herpes, man. Once you see us, you can’t get rid of us. Chad saw us at the Commodore Ballroom like eight times, we met up at the strip club afterwards … It’s fuckin’ history after that, man.

Lexxi: And he’s got bitchin’ fuckin’ go-karts that whiz around the house.

Michael: But he does have bad taste in clothes.

Lexxi: Well, no, it’s just all the same. He wears black.

ADF: I bet he has a lot of money for drugs.

Michael: He has an assistant who rolls joints for him. He has another assistant who cooks all his food, and another one who goes out and gets his drugs for him when he needs stuff other than pot. Which is pretty rock ‘n roll.

ADF: I think “Just Like Tiger Woods” celebrates Tiger the sex hero. Do you anticipate any blowback from the his people? Will they “get” it?

Michael: Does it matter if they get it? What are they gonna do?

ADF: He’s pretty powerful.

Michael: Yeah, but the only thing they can do is give us press. Underneath it all — all the Rolex endorsements and high-profile shit — I think he’ll be like, “Fuck yeah.” Cuz that’s really who he is and that’s what the song is about. It really brings out the truth.

Lexxi: That’s exactly right. Y’know, all those Lincoln Town Cars and Rolex things … We don’t know that he really likes those things. That’s somebody saying, “Here’s money. Just drive this shit around.” But it’s a fact that he likes to put his penis into girls’ vaginas.

Michael: What’s really cool, and I’m really happy for him, is he got to clear out all his dirty laundry, put everything on the table, and now everyone knows he likes hookers. And he’s not with that stupid whore anymore and he can go fuck any chick he wants. And [as a result,] he’s starting to play better now. And he’s got the best fuckin’ endorsement he’s ever had in his whole career [on Balls Out] because he told the truth. That’s what Steel Panther does. We sing about fuckin’ Asian hookers because like them. People freak out: “Oh my god, [our lyrics] are so dirty and bold.” But it’s the reality, and people love reality. Who wants to think about, fuckin’, the economy? Fuck that shit. Do you wanna talk about Wall Street?

ADF: Not much.

Michael: Why would you? What’s that gonna do?

ADF: Do you think that bummer stuff makes it harder for Steel Panther to get people to party?

Michael: No, that makes it easier.

ADF: How?

Michael: Fuck, look, if anybody has any slight bit of intelligence, they know the world is fucked up right now. Do you wanna think about that? Fuck no. Let’s go escape reality, go see Lexxi Foxxx look hot and put his make-up on, and rock out.

Lexxi: What’s cool is our ticket prices aren’t that high. We’re totally affordable.

Michael: We’re an economy-friendly bad. Even the drugs we sell are, like, discounted.

Lexxi: The more popular we get, the cheaper they have come.

Michael: I mean, the drugs that people give us are free.

Lexxi: That’s always cool.

Michael: Even in this shitty economy, it’s been very lucrative.

ADF: Drugs do better in a bad economy. I know I need them more.

Michael: Well yeah!

Lexxi: You don’t have to not like shit; you like everything when you’re high. Everything’s great.

Michael: You know who’s really winning right now? The pharmaceutical companies. Everybody’s doing the undercover-lover drugs, like vicodin, oxycontin …

Lexxi: I thought you were gonna say Charlie Sheen.

ADF: Steel Panther tickets are affordable, but you do have some bigger, pricier shows coming up in the UK with Def Leppard and Motley Crue. Those are worth a financial stretch.

Michael: No, it’s Led Zeppelin and Yes, isn’t it?

Lexxi: Yes, it’s Led Zeppelin?

Michael: …

Lexxi: [thinks hard] It’s so far away … Again, those drugs.

Michael: Are you talking about the Motley Crue/Def Leppard tour?

ADF: Yes.

Lexxi: Oh, that one. We’re doing that one in the UK.

Michael: Yeah, over the pond.

ADF: How do you approach this tour? Those bands don’t sound totally awesome in concert anymore.

Lexxi: Oh, I appreciate that.

Michael: [To Lexxi] What?! What did you say?

Lexxi: He was saying a compliment to us.

Michael: No, he wasn’t. He was saying … [To ADF] What were you saying?

ADF: I was getting to a compliment.

Lexxi: I know what he was gonna say. He was gonna say that we sound better than they do.

Michael: [To ADF] Were you gonna say that?

Lexxi: Right?

ADF: …

Michael: Aren’t you gonna print everything that we say?

ADF: Yeah. Everything.

Michael: [To Lexxi] You just said that we’re better than Motley Crue.

Lexxi: Who said that?

Michael: You did! You just said that they’re old and we’re better.

Lexxi: I didn’t say that! You said that. What are you talking about?

ADF: No, I said that.

Michael: That’s what you said?

Lexxi: [points to recording device] Do you wanna rewind it?

Michael: Are you sure?

Lexxi: He said that we sound better than Motley Crue and I said thank you very much.

Michael: [To Lexxi] We don’t wanna get kicked off this tour.

ADF: All I meant is that Steel Panther is at a peak, and those bands may be past their’s.

Lexxi: Can I say thank you now?

Michael: Sure!

Lexxi: Thank you very much. We’ve been practicing.

Michael: You know what Lexxi’s trying to say, I think? I could be wrong.

All: [laughs]

Michael: I think what he’s trying to say is that we’re a much younger band; we’re in our early 50s. So we’re able to have, like, more cardio –

Lexxi: Our kicks are higher.

Michael: — and we’re a little more streetwise. They’ve been living with money for a number of years.

ADF: Steel Panther is hungrier.

Michael: We’re hungry, man. I can’t wait to move out of my mom’s house.

ADF: Is there a temptation to tone it down for their benefit? Or just blow them away?

Michael: I’ll tell ya one thing we’ll definitely do, and I tell everybody this: We wanna respect them and give them their space, man. Def Leppard is headlining, Motley Crue is second, and we’re the special guest. So we need to give the headlining bands their space, and just stay out of their space. If there’s any groupies getting in their space, we’ll take them off their hands. We’ll fuck ‘em. That’s how we can be of service on the tour.

Lexxi: Yeah.

Michael: They don’t need that — a buncha chicks hanging out backstage. We’ll take care of that.

Lexxi: We still have a little bounce in our steps, we can still get our boners going. If not, we have, um, pharm-a-ceut-icals and also The Shocker.

Michael: Plus, we’re light on our feet, too.

Lexxi: No. I think that means something bad.

Michael: No, that’s “light in our loafers.”

Lexxi: Oh.

Michael: We’re not light in our loafers; we have a bounce in our step and are light on our feet.



ADF: I wanted to ask you about Soundwave Revolution show in Australia, which Steel Panther was set to play the same stage as Van Halen.

Michael: That one got cut out. Y’know how they have Lollapalooza out here? It was like the mini-Lollapalooza for them. Soundwave festival was so successful that they tried to add [spin-off event Soundwave Revolution]. It didn’t work out so well for them; ticket sales were a little lower than they anticipated. So they cut their ties immediately and put us on the Soundwave Festival in … February?

Lexxi: Um, it is February.

Michael: It’s Marilyn Manson, which I’m really stoked about. It’s also … Corey Taylor’s band.

ADF: Stone Sour.

Michael: No.

Lexxi: It starts with an S.

ADF: Slipknot.

Michael: Slipknot!

Lexxi: They both start with an S, which is confusing.

Michael: Our name starts with an S. There’s a lot of band names that start with an S.

ADF: Are you bummed about not getting to play the same gig as Van Halen?

Michael: Yeah.

Lexxi: Yeah.

Michael: I dunno. You take away the Van Halen tour, right? Then, all of a sudden a week later, we’re on the Motley Crue and Def Leppard tour. Think of our song, “Death To All But Metal”: It says “Where is Def Leppard?/Where is Motley Crue.” It doesn’t say, “Where is Van Halen?”

Lexxi: We’re sticking to our roots, I guess. Our first album is leading our fortune.

ADF: Steel Panther’s cause is to bring heavy metal back to radio, TV, and in everybody’s face like it used to be. A second platform of Steel Panther’s is for all women to um subscribe to a rigorous maintenance schedule of their vagina area. Why is it so important?

Lexxi: You wanna answer that?

Michael: Nope.

Lexxi: …

Michael: Rock, scissors, paper?

Lexxi: How do you play this?

Michael: You go three times, then on the third one, you go [demonstrates] rock, scissors, or paper.

Lexxi: Okay.

Michael + Lexxi: One, two –

Lexxi: [offers no hand signal] Scissors.

Michael: [flattens palm to denote "paper"] No. So, I think the reason we like shaved vaginas so much is that when you’re in a heavy metal band, a lot of girls that come to the shows have STDs. You have to be careful. If they’re not shaven, you can’t really see what they have.

Plus, it’s easier to find the clit. Some girls are fuckin’ hairy, dude. Like, Lexxi’s been pounding some chicks that have really huge clits and they’re unshaven, and he said that it was like giving head to a guy.

Lexxi: Uh … I don’t remember that –

Michael: [laughs] I remember. You were like, “It felt like I just sucked a dick. We better have these chicks start shaving their pussies.” Remember that?

Lexxi: …

Michael: Remember, the girl’s name was Amanda?

Lexxi: No, I don’t know if I so much remember that.

Michael: She was a man, duh.

Lexxi: We had a gig in San Diego and we drove down to Tijuana. I’d never been there before and they thought it’d be a fun thing to just go clubbin’ down there … Well, it also helps if you have any diseases down there, just clean it so everybody can … Nobody wants a wookie on their cookie. We’ll just answer it like that.

ADF: Moving on. It would be a better world if heavy metal were more popular than everything else, right?

Lexxi: [considers] I would say yes, but then we wouldn’t get all the … I like how we’re bring heavy metal back and we’re the only –

Michael: You don’t want to finish the journey.

Lexxi: Right now, it’s like we’re the pioneers of heavy metal for so many kids. I don’t know if I’d want there to be a whole world of heavy metal bands. Cuz I want all the pussy, all the drugs, and I want people to go, “Wow, you guys are awesome!”

Michael: [To Lexxi] See, you’re stuck in logic like he was.

Lexxi: What’s that?

Michael: It’s like a Star Trek thing. It’s like, you wanna bring heavy metal back; that’s been our goal for years, right? But you don’t wanna bring it back and have a bunch of other heavy metal bands take your pussy and your drugs.

Lexxi: No!

Michael: So you’re stuck in a void of heavy metal craziness.

ADF: I think Michael’s right –

Lexxi: I thought I was right.

ADF: It’s almost like if heavy metal is huge, then Steel Panther is slightly less powerful.

Michael: No, I wouldn’t say that. It’s like, you’re playing Call of Duty: Black Ops and you finish the whole thing. Now what?

[All consider]

Lexxi: Can’t you start over?

Michael: You can, but who cares? It’s been done before. So you gotta keep forging forward. You gotta wait for the next Steel Panther record to come out before you know what to do.

So we’re never done, dude. Know what’s gonna happen? Maybe on our tenth record, we’ll put it out and it won’t sell as well. Then we’ll have to bring our own heavy metal back.

Lexxi: Like, re-record our songs?

Michael: Yeah.

Lexxi: [momentously] Or –

Michael: Think about that. Wrap your brain around that, fucker.

ADF: I am. I’m picturing Steel Panther atop this heap, like at Aerosmith and Van Halen status in new heavy metal. I want that.

Michael: It’s gonna happen.

ADF: But it’s a sacrifice for me too: When that happens, I won’t get to see Steel Panther in West Hollywood on Monday nights and get high and party my balls off, cuz you’re off playing huge arenas.

Lexxi: Mmmm.

Michael: I hear ya. That bothers me, too. That’s why I thought we could play Staples [Center, capacity 20,000] every Monday –

Lexxi: So everybody gets the chance to see us in a bigger arena. But know what? You’re asking us questions right now? Well, we won’t ever forget you and always will put you on the guest list when we play gigantic places all over the world.

Michael: [To Lexxi] Hey, do you have that book about recovery? The Twelve Steps? Can you show me where it’s at?

Lexxi: I don’t know what I did with it. I gave it to someone who really needed it, I think.

Michael: That sucks.

ADF: How do you guys get away with inviting naked chicks on stage? It’s great for a dude cuz standing there cheering at four guys feels a little gay. But then, bam, some girls join you up there and get various shades of naked. Problem solved. Perfect show.

Michael: It just happened organically from the get-go. I remember clearly at The Viper Room [onetime site of Steel Panther weekly shows], there was this blonde chick and she had huge tits. She was pretty ugly but we’d pull her up and she’d show her boobs. And she’d come, like, every week. It became something that a lot of girls like to do. Some of them like to be in front of people showing their tits [laughs]. It just kept goin’ and goin’. For some reason, the clubs never said anything.

Lexxi: I think it also has a lot to do with heavy metal. If you look at all the bitchin’ ’80s videos, there was always hot bitches just doin’ whatever. We just take it one step further with the way that we write our songs. Some of the lyrics we have, we just take it further. We don’t [hesitate] to say what we really, really feel. You combine women with heavy metal, and that’s what happens. I don’t think anybody ever really thought about it.

Michael: I think now girls come to our show knowing that they want to show their boobs. I just say straight up, “If there’s any girls who are slutty and wanna show their titties, come to the front of the stage now and we’ll pull you up.” Nine times out of ten, they do, right? They’re like, “Over here!” And they may not be hot, but know what? There’s a lot of chicks I’ve fucked that aren’t hot but they fuck amazing.

ADF: Non-hot girls fuck better sometimes.

Michael: Always. Always.

Lexxi: Yeah. Why is that?

Michael: They have to. Really pretty chicks get told all the time they’re beautiful –

Lexxi: And they don’t have to do shit.

Michael: They don’t have to do anything! Just like Lexxi — he never had to learn anything! He’s been beautiful the whole time.

ADF: He learned enough to play bass in a band.

Michael: Yeah, but that’s why he’s playing bass. It’s the easiest instrument to play.

Lexxi: It’s a simple instrument. It’s not that hard.

Michael: You must be a bass player.

ADF: I’m a guitar player.

Michael: [skeptically] Really.

[A backstage guest says goodbye.]

Michael: [To guest] Hey don’t forget that eight ball! Thank you. I look forward to seeing you right after the show. Just come right up. Don’t wait for me to change.

ADF: Y’know how Ozzy had that festival in the ’90s called Ozzfest. His management –

Michael: Sharon.

ADF: [laughs] — put a bunch of their bands on the tour, and some other, really great bands too. What would the Steel Panther Fest line-up be?

Michael: Aw dude, that’s a tough one.

Lexxi: That’s a good question.

Michael: That’s really a super-tough one.

ADF: A lot of bands from the ’80s are still doin’ it awesome, like Tesla and Kix. And some new bands kick ass, like –

Michael: I would seriously like to get Winger back. Fuckin’, I don’t know if you heard the record they put out about a year and a half ago? It’s fuckin’ really good. Really good. I don’t think they even have a [record] deal, but I ran into him, we became friends, and he gave me a CD. It’s really good.

Lexxi: I think I would want Cinderella up there at the top. I have so much respect for a band that has the same four members and they sound bitchin’.

Michael: But you also have to take into consideration … You don’t want to get a band that’s been out on the road a lot.

Lexxi: [agrees] Son of a bitch. Son of a bitch! Who are you gonna sell tickets to; they’ve already seen ‘em.

Michael: It’s gotta be somebody that just reformed, or … Maybe if we could dig Jani Lane up out of the grave, and stand him up while all the original Warrant members play “Down Boys.”

ADF: Wasn’t something similar done with Lenin in Russia? Isn’t his casket out in public?

Michael: That’s great.

Lexxi: You could do that.

Michael: Who else could we dig up?

Lexxi: I know! We could get … Who’s the singer of Quiet Riot?

Michael: Oh, Kevin DuBrow! We could dig him up, and get Carlos [Cavazo], fuckin’ Frankie [Banali], and Rudy Sarzo and just put a video of Kevin, like, yelling at people?

ADF: Or project him as a hologram like in Japan.

Lexxi: And Derek Frigo.

Michael: [excitedly] Yeah, we could get Enuff Z’nuff back together with Derek Frigo!

Lexxi: That would be fantastic. One of my favorite bands.

Michael: It could be called … Casketazoola. And we’d only tour in October.

Lexxi: Casketalooza.

ADF: Do you ever worry about being too awesome? Sometimes I feel that Enuff Z’nuff’s hamstring, the reason they weren’t more popular, is that they were too awesome.

Lexxi: Yeah.

Michael: I don’t think they’re too awesome.

Lexxi: I think they’re pretty awesome. I like them.

Michael: I love ‘em. I love ‘em, but it’s like –

Lexxi: They’re so twisty and good.

Michael: Come on, who’s better?

Lexxi: … Revis.

Michael: Revis? You think Revis is better?

Lexxi: Way better.

Michael: So there you go.

Lexxi: We’ll have to do [a Steel Panther festival] sometime, and you can MC it.

Michael: Where were the really honest, tough questions you had?

ADF: Just about the Nickelback guy. I’m pumped about everything else.

Michael: Oh.

That cheeky cunt Michael Sweet sneaked a kiss off the SM after the show last night!

[Seshmeister]

Great show on Friday, as predicted it was an upside down bill, Panther best but Crue were good too. I think Mick Mars had some help from tapes but to be honest he looked like he needed help to get on the stage at all.

Def Leppard were blown off the stage, more disappointing than the last rumor of Margaret Thatcher's death.

Just looked up their set to see what happened.

Interesting cover, wonder if some US stores will refuse to stock it.

Not that many people buy albums in stores any more...

[Mr Walker]

I've been trying to write a review of the show... but I stink at that kind of stuff.

It was a great show... great music and a lot of laughs.
Didn't want to distract myself by typing through the show so I don't remember the set list exactly, but I do remember all the songs that were played (see below).
Satchel's solo was fucking killer... culminating with climbing up on a decent sized drum riser to end his solo with classic rock riffs while he accompanied himself on Stix's kit (Misirlou(?), Smoke on the Water, Breaking The Law, The Trooper, Master of Puppets, Crazy Train, Paranoid, Doe a Deer A Female Deer).

Of course there was a lot of fun SP banter
Satchel: "Come On Connecticut... Make Some Noise!"
Michael: "We're in New Jersey you fucking retard!"

Satchel: "Every band has a retard and he usually winds up playing bass"

Lexxi: "When she lays on her back her tits make her look like a hammerhead shark"

Stix: "We sold this bitch out"... as the band looked out at a theater that was only 3/4 full

I've seen quite a few shows in my time and I have to say that 'In The Future/Supersonic Sex Machine' was the greatest opener I've ever seen.
No covers despite teasing 'You Really Got Me' and 'Sweet Child of Mine' ("I wish we knew that one!").
Being that this was my first (and not last) SP gig, I was surprised to see that Satchel is the man who pretty much runs the show on the mic.
I was also surprised at Michael's piped in screams... for the most part they weren't too obvious.
Here's the songs that were played... not in exact order, but as close as I can remember... they played for about an hour and 45 minutes.

I was doing a search for some reviews so I could check my set list and found some videos from the show on youtube (for those of you with some time to kill)...

[Jagermeister]

lol. It won't suck it's self. :lmao:

Great review Mr. Walker

[Mr Walker]

lol. It won't suck it's self. :lmao:

Great review Mr. Walker

That song was one of the best of the night... much better without that douche from Nickelfag singing a verse like on the CD.

[ELVIS]

I wonder when that pooftah Ralph will start using the headset mic...


:elvis:

[Seshmeister]

I was also surprised at Michael's piped in screams... for the most part they weren't too obvious.



Are you sure?

I'm going to see them again next month.

[SNIPER]

These guys crack me up!!

[ELVIS]

Piped in screams...

This joke band sucks...

The guitar player needs to take the wig off and join a real band...

Tinfoil Kitty sucks...


:biggrin:

[Mr Walker]

Are you sure?

I'm going to see them again next month.

Positive... you may be able to see one of the misses in that 'DTABM' clip.
I don't think it's a big deal... I would hope it wouldn't stop you from going to the show.
There's clearly a 'sampling guy' for lack of a better term who pumped in stuff throughout the show (I could see him on the side of the stage)... i.e. the 'Asian Hooker' intro, keys and stuff in 'Weenie Ride' and I can't remember what song, but there was a whole section where the bass was thumping but Lexxi was standing there just fucking around with his mirror.

[Mr Walker]

Piped in screams...

Tinfoil Kitty sucks...


:biggrin:

No they don't

[ELVIS]

Yes they do...

I doubt you would roll up to a corner blasting that parody crap...

[Jagermeister]

Yes they do...

I doubt you would roll up to a corner blasting that parody crap...

Oh take it easy on him Elbow. He likes The Darkness also but I don't hold that against him.

[ELVIS]

They suck too, but not as bad...

[Mr Walker]

Yes they do...

I doubt you would roll up to a corner blasting that parody crap...

Actually I did on the way home...

"I've got an extra cock for double penetration
Just squeeze my balls to activate vibration
I can fuck all night... if you want me to...
Then you can piss on my receptacle... and suck my load of cyber-goo..."

[Mr Walker]

That cheeky cunt Michael Sweet sneaked a kiss off the SM after the show last night!

The dude from Stryper?

[Seshmeister]

Ooof I hope not.

Michael Starr even.

I'm disappointed that they are using samples, I'd had a fair amount of booze at the last show and never noticed.

If we run into them again I'm definitely going to bring it up...

[Jagermeister]

Actually I did on the way home...

"I've got an extra cock for double penetration

You're a sick man Walker. :biggrin:

[Seshmeister]

Yes they do...

I doubt you would roll up to a corner blasting that parody crap...

I have. It's a hell of a lot cooler than your stuff about dragons and Vikings. :)

[rocking ron]

Got some dvd-bootlegs from these guys and it's 'funny 80's crap'!!!!!!!!!!:bananasex:

[Mr Walker]

Ooof I hope not.

Relax... the majority of MS's screams were legit.

You really think so, eh ??

This is funny as fuck.

[ELVIS]

Off to play Angry Birds...

Angry birds sucks almost as bad as Plastic Kitty...

[Seshmeister]

It's a Steel Panther gag.

You're just not in with the 'in crowd'. :)

I'm hoping you guys get I Like Drugs!

[Catfish]

Stixx is so fucken funny in this. His dumbassed, "Great Western Burger" drop makes me piss my pants!

[Mr Walker]

Stixx is so fucken funny in this. His dumbassed, "Great Western Burger" drop makes me piss my pants!

I like when Stixx says "Yeah... get on myspace where it's hip" and MS just loses it.

[Catfish]

I like when Stixx says "Yeah... get on myspace where it's hip" and MS just loses it.

LOL! Yes, that and simple shit like the shots back to Stixx for a deadpan look. It's comedy brilliance! Their little videos are every bit as entertaining as their shows!

[Seshmeister]

You gonna give us the setlist Sesh?


WTF gave you the impression I have ever in my life been organised enough to do setlists? :)

Great gig, crowd were well up for it considering it was midweek, I think SP were surprised at the enthusiasm/party atmosphere.

Only downside was realising that you were entirely right about the tapes, all the backing vocals were which pisses me off a bit.

Unfortunately we had to leave right away at the end of the show for childcare reasons and I didn't get a chance to ask Ralph how they did this without a click track and also to tell him to go fuck off with his flirting again with the SM.:)

[Seshmeister]

At Glasgow Airport...

[Dave's Bitch]

That was awesome.Vince sounded pretty good on Kickstart my heart.I hate that fag Lexxi fucking Foxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or what ever the hell his name is.Love a bit of steel panther.Not a patch on the mighty Motley Crue though ;)

[Seshmeister]

I could do a direct comparison one after the other at a show last year and Panther are entirely better than Crue these days.

Better singing, better songs, better musicians.

[Mr Walker]

WTF gave you the impression I have ever in my life been organised enough to do setlists? :)



Any songs that surprised you to hear?

[Seshmeister]

I'm pretty sure it was the same set list as France earlier in the week.

In The Future
Supersonic Sex Machine
Tomorrow Night
Fat Girl (Thar She Blows)
Asian Hooker
Just Like Tiger Woods
Gold-Digging Whore
Guitar Solo
It Won't Suck Itself
Community Property
Eyes of a Panther
Weenie Ride
Party All Day (Fuck All Night)
Turn Out the Lights
Death to All but Metal
Encore:
Eatin' Ain't Cheatin'
17 Girls In A Row


I never realised that for Weenie Ride(Home Sweet Home) the drummer would be playing piano.

I guess the only slight surprise for me was no covers and the double encore being their own stuff.

It was a great gig, really enjoyed it. We were about 4 or 5 rows back of an almost sold out 2500 standing venue.

That's the perfect size for a gig IMHO.

[Mr Walker]

I never realised that for Weenie Ride(Home Sweet Home) the drummer would be playing piano.


You sure he was really playing that piano? lol

Yeah right...

And the fags arrive safely in India...

[Mr Walker]

By continually posting in this thread... Elvis reminds me of one of those conservative politicians that build a platform on denouncing homosexuality... but you can always find them milling around a public men's room with their mouth pressed right up to a glory hole.

[ELVIS]

I've never seen a glory hole in my life...

[Seshmeister]

Apparently Panther are on Dancing with the Stars tonight???

[Mr Walker]

Apparently Panther are on Dancing with the Stars tonight???

I heard about this just as I was about to bash KISS for appearing on the same show.

[Seshmeister]

You can't bash a comedy parody band for being lame.

And you shouldn't bash Steel Panther either.

[ELVIS]

Apparently Panther are on Dancing with the Stars tonight???

Hahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaa!!!

Wow, a high profile TV gig...

they better not crash the U-Haul...


:biggrin:

[ELVIS]

And you shouldn't bash Steel Panther either.

Yeah, the flying pasta monster may not approve...

I have aked Mrs binnie to get me the 'British Invasion' DVD for Christmas.

She informed me that she will not get me because, and I quote, 'Have you seen the cover? I can't buy you that because when you open it in front of my mum she'll I've bought you porn'.

'Gonna take your ass on a weenie ride......'

They might as well have called it 'Smell the Glove'.

[Seshmeister]

I was at the gig in question, it was ages ago in London.

They had a bunch of strippers onstage rather than the usual audience member thing they do.

Caught these guys in Vegas a couple of weeks ago. Pretty much the same show that I saw last summer, but still fun.

Either way, they are back in the studio working on album #3. And they are planning a US tour this summer.

Steel Panther




BY ESTHER ROGERS / 11 JUL 2013

Do you like heavy metal? Big hair? Profanities? Regardless of your preference for the aforementioned, you will like Steel Panther. And it’s not for their artisanally crafted hair metal outfits, or their mind-blowing melodies and guitar riffs, or even their profaned lyrical poetry. It’s the fact that Steel Panther know how to put on a damn good show that will have even the most conservative middle-aged mom wearing five different types of animal print and flashing her lady parts at the band.

If you have never heard of Steel Panther, it’s about high time you did. The band is a regular at the House of Blues on both the Sunset and Vegas Strips, and they have played across the country since the birth of the Panther in April 2008. They have spread their talents – among other things – across the pond, playing sold out shows on a European and Australian Tour in 2012. They even toured with the biggest names in metal, including Mötley Crüe, Guns N’ Roses, and Def Leppard, and shared the stage with many a legend.

But now, lead singer Michael Starr and his glam metal band mates are well on their way to legend-dom in their own right, having garnered quite the cult following; many devoted fans return to their packed shows week after week. Starr is backed by lead guitarist Satchel, bassist Lexxi Foxx (“The extra “X” is for extra SEX!”), and drummer Stix Zadinia. They first gained popularity on the Sunset Strip in the early 2000s under the name of Metal Shop, which was then changed to Metal Skool before settling on the more badass Steel Panther. They covered and parodied other famous bands while writing their own music, and in 2008 they released their first major record label album, Feel the Steel. It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Comedy chart, and featured the single “Community Property”. This was followed by Balls Out in 2011, which debuted at No. 1 on the UK iTunes Rock chart, and No. 4 on its American counterpart.

http://reveremagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/steel-panther-concert-1024x525.jpg


The band’s lyrics are crude. They sing about easy girls, ugly girls, hot girls, stripper girls, drugs, STDs, philandering, and rock n’ roll. They don’t shy away from terms like goo, balls, camel toe, cottage cheese, baby gravy, summer sausage, Dirty Sanchez… the list goes on. But boy do they know how to marry their lyrics to incredibly catchy and epic tunes. You don’t even have to care for metal to rock out at their concerts, because it’s all about having a good time. After a few drinks, even the biggest Norah Jones fan will be screaming out the lyrics “Stripper girl/ Heaven sent, take one look and I pitch a tent.” And yes, that song is called “Stripper Girl” and it’s about a stripper.

The boys have a sack-full of stage presence, and they know how to get the crowd going. It also helps to throw out free giant foam hands inspired by their song “The Shocker”. Wondering what it is? The lyrics go “Two in the pink and one in the stink/ That’s called the shocker.” Got the image in your head? Good. It will never go away.

But joking aside, all four members are seriously good musicians. Starr is a talented singer with an amazing rock scream, while Satchel plays a mean guitar riff. Stix is the formidable backbone of the band with his killer drum beats, and Lexxi continues to wow with his pretty metrosexual looks, while strumming the odd bass note – he’s usually more interested in looking at himself in a handheld mirror with great conviction.

Are you starting to feel the itch? Are you longing to feel the Steel for yourself? Well lucky you, Steel Panther will be playing at the House of Blues Las Vegas and Sunset Strip all July. Be ready to see girls pulled up on stage to flash their assets, and a whole lot of hair whipping. It’s the stuff rock legends are made of.

And now, a selection of our favorite lyrical stylings:

“My heart belongs to you/ There ain’t nothing that I wouldn’t do/ My heart belongs to you/ But my dong is community property” – Community Property

“I can see it in your eyes/ Cause you’re looking at me like I’m a side of fries” – Fat Girl

“Hair on your nipples, zits on your box/ In Oklahoma City you’re considered a fox” – Girl from Oklahoma

“Stripper girl/ Heaven sent, take one look and I pitch a tent” – Stripper Girl

“If you wanna be like Tiger Woods/ Filling all the divots in the neighborhood/ Don’t think about those three foot putts/ And cover your tracks when you’re banging them sluts” – Just Like Tiger Woods

“Two in the pink and one in the stink/ That’s called the shocker” – The Shocker

- Esther Rogers

[ELVIS]

What a lame fucking joke...

[vandeleur]

The stripper tent lyrics are funny :D

[Dr. Love]

[Coyote]

And here's the new one... (NFSW)



Sounds like a radio single to me...

[Von Halen]

Chuck Lidell, lol.

The dude that puked looked like the kid from Breaking Bad.

[fraroc]

I'm not doubting that Steel Panther makes some kick-ass rock tunes, it's just that I hate the message it gives out about 1980s rock music. Now we all know it's a parody band and I have no problem with that, but is that really what rock n' roll has become? absolutely nothing but a joke?

And you might think I'm a big motherfucking hypocrite for loving Spinal Tap's music and criticizing Steel Panther's material, but the key difference is that rock was still alive for many more years after Spinal Tap came out.

Now, rock n roll is on the verge of complete non-existence and a parody band is one of the few closest things to the glory days that the 2010's has.

[DaveSUCKSLive]

At least their singer can sing.

[Seshmeister]

On a UK arena tour they blew Motley Crue and Def Leppard off the stage.

They are pulling much bigger crowds as a headliner than 95% of the 80s bands that are still playing.

[Seshmeister]

And here's the new one... (NFSW)

Nice video, the song isn't one of their best though...

http://1063thebuzz.com/party-like-tomorrow-is-the-end-of-the-world-with-steel-panther-nsfw/

The latest video from Steel Panther, the comedic ’80s metal/hard rock tribute band, is here and is in no way safe for you to watch while at work. The song and video, called “Party Like Tomorrow Is The End Of The World,” features plenty of the bands outrages lyrics plus several celebrity cameos, all while partying like it’s the end of the world.

The video features partial female nudity and a variety of drug use plus special appearances by Rob Riggle, Jackass star Steve-O, R.J. Mitte from Breaking Bad, porn star Ron Jeremy and MMA fighter Chuck Liddell.

The song/video is the first single from the band’s upcoming third studio album All You Can Eat, which is due out sometime in 2014.

When asked how they came up with the new album title singer Michael Star said “We feel like STEEL PANTHER is like a buffet. You know what I mean?! There’s a little bit of everything for everybody. And you can have as much of us as you want.”

The bands second album, Balls Out, debuted at number 40 on the Billboard charts when it was released in 2011 selling nearly 12,000 copies.

Drummer Stix Zadinia stated “If you liked [2009's] ‘Feel The Steel’ and [2011's] ‘Balls Out’, you will love this record. It is more heavy metal songs that are hooky and great and fun and make you want to rock and make you want to have a good time and party. Also, there is a lot of riffage on this album that I think anybody who has ever questioned this band — ‘Oh, those guys wear spandex and it is 2000-whatever’ — these songs are going to put all of that to rest.”

Steel Panther may seem like a big joke to some people but the band insist that while comedy is a part of their persona, they’re all about the music.

Zadinia said “Listen to our record and tell us that our songs aren’t better than most of the bands out there. How funny is that? At the end of the day, it comes down to the songs. I think our songs — without sounding egotistical — I think our songs are great. When you hear the hooks in our songs, you hear the playing and you hear the vocals, you throw that up against any band in any era, and I think it stands up.”

Now I had a chance to see these guys at the House of Blues in Dallas earlier this year and if you think the video is crazy, you should have been at the show. Besides their catchy and humorous lyrics the band uses the time in between songs to joke and argue with each other plus they know how to interact with the crowd, even bringing just about every woman in the room onstage for a chance to show the audience their love puppies. And I do believe the lead singer took a girl he had just met backstage halfway thru their set to do the do. It was defiantly one of the best shows I’ve ever been to.

[ashstralia]

What a lame fucking joke...

You're a lame fucking joke.

What they have, that you don't, is a punchline. And chicks. And money. :)

[Seshmeister]

Here's the lady from the new video.

[High Life Man]

Looking forward to the new album. And seeing them in Chicago in a couple of months. No longer playing the Cubbie Bear, now at the HOB (must have a contract with them). Good times.

[fraroc]

At least their singer can sing.

Who let Samantha join?

[binnie]

Not that taken with the new song - the lyrics didn't make me laugh as much as normal.

Perhaps they've soften it a bit to get more airplay.....

[jhale667]

You're a lame fucking joke.

What they have, that you don't, is a punchline. And chicks. And money. :)

You forgot talent, the respect of well-known musicians, a prominent media presence, international touring opportunities.... the list is long. :biggrin:

[Kristy]

Steel Panther? Fuck, that sounds gay (as in gay) on so many levels.

[Kristy]

Here's the lady from the new video.

Gross. F A T ass and thighs that could be used for canoe paddles.

[ashstralia]

Go put on Lyle Lovett and flick your bean then.
Or if you're especially stoned and horny, Chris Isaac. :)

[Kristy]

Dude, no one wants to hear about your kangaroo humping exploits. Freak.

[jhale667]

The riff to "Glory Hole" is way cooler... doubt there will be a video for that one though... :biggrin:






:guitar:

[binnie]

The 'Glory Hole' riff reminds me (admitedly a non-guitar player) of Nuno Bettencourt.......

[Seshmeister]

.....

[High Life Man]

Saw them again last night at a sold out show at the HOB in Chicago.

First off, fuck you HOB. Your venue sucks, it was too crowded and $11 for a beer? Also, if you're charging that much, how can you justify a non-hd feed of the show to your TVs?

Second, it was the same show that I saw in January (minus a few songs and absolutely no covers this time). Jokes and meter exactly the same. They pull it off naturally, though. These guys are well rehearsed and trained - both musically and in improv/sketch.

First time for a couple of people in my group. They were in tears due to laughter. Loved the music, too.

Here's a new tune they played:

That is a fucking disgrace, greedy bastards.

Also stupid greedy bastards, pitch it lower and I bet they make more in the long run.

[twonabomber]

I don't remember what HOB Cleveland charges for a beer. Maybe $8. Better to catch a buzz around the corner at Flannery's, and skip out on your food tab while you're there.

[Seshmeister]

It would be about $7.50 here and that is bad enough.

I guess in the US especially a lot of people drive so only have 1 or 2 beers so they want to skin them on that.

[VHscraps]

It would be about $7.50 here and that is bad enough.

I guess in the US especially a lot of people drive so only have 1 or 2 beers so they want to skin them on that.

I was at the Sabbath gig at Glasgow Hydro last Monday. A pint of Fosters was £4.50 I think (possibly £4), which is about $7.00-7.50.

Have to say it was a good pint, if you like those kind of lagers - better than I regularly have elsewhere in so-called proper bars.

As for whether it was worth it - well, I didn't mind paying it. With accommodation / travel and ticket costs the gig was already tipping into the £250 range ...

[Seshmeister]

I didn't go to Sabbath after seeing some horrendous YouTubes of early in the tour.

They were actually very good in Glasgow by all reports which makes me wonder if Ozzy is now using backing tapes...

[Seshmeister]

.....

[VHscraps]

They were actually pretty damn good, and Ozzy was miles better than I expected.

I don't think it was backing tapes!

A guy I was at the gig with shot a minute or so of one song, and when we listened back later it was not at all a good representation of what we heard - so I guess there's either a lot of variability in that kind of footage (depending on where you are positioned and how that affects things like vocals etc) or actually being there at the gig just compensates for flaws in the performance in ways that are not even apparent.

Ozzy's performance was pretty good, but on the vid clip it didn't sound so strong.

[Seshmeister]

Sharon was photographed distraught and in tears last week leaving a function so maybe she had just found out Ozzy was off the booze and drugs and thinking for himself...

[Kristy]

Wow, these guys are gay.

[Kristy]

The riff to "Glory Hole" is way cooler... doubt there will be a video for that one though...



Glory Hole, huh? Nope, nothing the could possibly connote anything gay there. And playing guitar in crappy bondage leather and spandex? Nothing gay abut that!

[Seshmeister]

Going to see them tonight!

I think this is the 4th time... :)

[binnie]

Let us know if they play any new tunes (and if they're any good).

From the two I've heard so far - 'The Burden of Being Wonderful' and 'Party Like Tomorrow Is the End of The World' - I sense that they may have toned the jokes down.......

[Seshmeister]

They played a few and as you say they seemed a little tamer.

The place was sold out and jumping and the audience loved them.

I was much less happy. For a while they have been doing the taped backing vocals thing but now for a few songs they then synced that with the video to the song.

This is a really fucking horrible idea.

There is a fine line between stupid and clever. For me making a joke of the miming thing doesn't work at all. I think the guitar, bass and drums were probably live but when you have video in the background slightly out of time it becomes hugely distracting wondering is the video out of time or is their miming out of time.

I had to fuck off home as I have an insanely early work thing tomorrow so I didn't get a chance to raise it with them.

I'm sure they would have ignored me anyhow as few other people seemed to care too much.

Maybe I'm just grumpy because of the exploitative bar prices at the place which always piss me off, I think I spent about $80 in 2 hours which is irritating.

[ELVIS]

There is a fine line between stupid and clever.

And Tinfoil Kitty are stupid...

[High Life Man]

They played 'Glory Hole' when I saw them in January. It was still fun, but the jokes have been the same for years now.

And I agree, Sesh. The drinks at the places they play are too god damn expensive.

I think taking the piss out of miming is cool.

I suppose they use their own vids because they figure 'we invested a lot of money in these, so lets get our dollars worth.......'

[High Life Man]

Heard the new album.

Oof. A lot of the songs sound really familiar. A pretty meh effort.

Bukkake Dreams cracked me up, however.

[Weeksy Lee Roth]

Bukakke Tears is a great song and title, I also love If I was the King and Gloryhole
for which Gloryhole has a music video made for it and it's in typical Steel Panther
comedic form and Not Safe For Work

[Seshmeister]

Hahahaha!

Am not a huge fan of theirs but that was funny , if not a bit on the long side for a one trick pony gag . Still pretty funny .

[Von Halen]

I just picked up the deluxe edition of "All You Can Eat".

Is Ralph the lead singer?

[vandeleur]

Shit the chorus is in my head and I can't stop singing it out loud , sure the people on nightshift are gonna appreciate that :D

[Seshmeister]

Yeah and the only one that isn't wearing a wig... :)

[tobinentinc77]

These guys are the best "new" band out there. Jokes aside the music is killer and catchy as hell. They kick ass live too like a real rock n roll show I've never been disappointed. I hope they keep on trucking for years to come. New album should be out this year or 2020 can't wait!

[David45]

Steel Panther is an American glam metal band.

I gave her the shocker!

"1987"

Appetite for destruction
Blowing us all away
Poison looking so damned good
I wondered if I was gay
Whitesnake making us bang our heads
In the still of the frickin' night
Coverdale banging Tawnie Kitane
And the world all felt just right

1987
I never wanna leave you
When you told me I was in my prime
Why didn't I believe you?
And the music scene will never be the same
But I didn't realize that things could get this lame

Dokken and Lynch were young and hot
They were warriors in a dream
I couldn't understand the loudness dude
But man that guy could scream
Ozzy was on the Crazy Train
Biting heads off bats
It was long before the YouTube trolls
And this bullshit snappy chats

1987
You're always gonna be the best
Like fresh Colombian cocaine
Off a 19 year old breast
And the kids these days will never understand
What it's like to play an instrument and be in a band

Growing out our hair
Gettin' high with girls
Cranking Scorpions and Priest
Everyone in leather
There never was a doubt
In any of our minds that pretty soon
Dave and Eddie
Were getting back together

1987
Where did we go astray?
Back then the friends we had were real
And we saw 'em every day
And no one once got canceled for the things that they say

1987
Will forever be the year
When guys wore more lipstick than girls
And no one seemed to care
And the music that we worshiped will live on
Even after all our heavy metal heroes are gone

[Seshmeister]

Just catching up now with their Valentine's Day release... :D

Are these dumb TV talent shows not meant to be for new acts?


WAIT, STEEL PANTHER ARE REALLY COMPETING ON ‘AMERICA’S GOT TALENT’ NEXT WEEK?!
Joe DiVita
Published: May 24, 2023
Yes, you read that correctly — everyone's favorite hair metal parody party band Steel Panther will be competing on the new season of hit competition TV show America's Got Talent, which debuts on May 30 on NBC at 8PM local time.

The band, who released their sixth album, On the Prowl, earlier this year, are no strangers to big time TV appearances. Remember that time back in 2018 when they got all confused and showed up on the pre-game broadcast of an NFL Thursday night game featuring the Steelers and the Panthers?

[Nitro Express]

Steel Panther is more of a comedy act than a real band. They are too spicy for TV. Their main gimmick is being shamelessly filthy.

[Seshmeister]

Be interesting to see how far they can push it on US network TV which I believe is still pretty stuffy?

The later stages are shown live I think?

[Nitro Express]

Yeah. You still can’t give a chick the shocker and sing about throbbing cocks and sloppy wet joy holes on TV here.

[Seshmeister]

they've been pushing The Spocker recently as a better option. :)

For reference...

[Nickdfresh]

On AGT right now, and seem to be rockin' the crowd...

Then these stupid fuckers {the show producers) play "We Built This City" by Jefferson Starshit after their performance... I mean, WTF?

[Nickdfresh]

The judges were awed and they made it, they were better than any fucking thing on that stage....

[Seshmeister]

Bit of a kop out doing Eyes of a Tiger and the most PG chat I've ever seen from them.

I almost never see any of these talent show things I think the thing that bugs me most about them are the judges.

Who the fuck is Simon Cowell to judge anything? As a record company man all he 'discovered' were a handful of novelty acts like the Teletubbies and soap stars. Note he wasn't the guy that discovered the TV shows, he was the one that would get them to release a terrible novelty track. His first act Sinnitta a 2 hit wonder he fucked literally and then figuratively.

As for the rest "studded judging panel with global fashion icon Heidi Klum, fan-favorite comedian Howie Mandel and acclaimed actress and international superstar Sofia Vergara". So a swimsuit model and s guy that did the voice in Htrmlind

Sofía Vergara who is admittedly easy on the eye is problematic when judging magic acts because she literally believes in magic!

A recent magician candidate said he was warned about this by the crew and then when he said how long he had been practicing the trick she shouted out that was bullshit because you either have magic powers or you don't. :D

Hoping for Glory Hole at the next round...


Lyrics
There's a place in France where the naked ladies dance
There's a hole in the wall where you put your cock and balls
But you never really know who's sucking on the other side
Is it a boy or a girl, or a lady-man hermaphrodite?
Honey I don't wanna know,
Who's sucking my dick today
I'm going to the Glory Hole
Gonna spend my weekly pay
Dream about virgin tits
While the beast greases up my pole.
Gonna blow my load at the Glory Hole
Blow my load at the Glory Hole
Blow my load at the Glory Hole
I know a place down the street just behind Mickey Dee's,
Where the thing behind the hole really aims to please
Where the (...) is all they need to get a job well done
It doesn't matter if it's Tommy Lee or Attila the Hun
Baby! I don't wanna know
Who's sucking my cock tonight
I'm going to the Glory Hole
Gonna fuck it with all my might
In my head it's Jessica Biel
I don't care if it's a fucking troll
Gonna blow my load at the Glory Hole
Blow my load at the Glory Hole
Blow my load at the Glory Hole
Come give your cock a chance
No need for romance
Come soil your pants
At the Glory Hole
Come get what you need
Do the dirty deed
Deposit your seed
At the Glory Hole
Feel somebody new
At the Glory Hole
Fill someone with goo
At the Glory Hole
No one judges you
At the Glory Hole
I don't wanna know
Who's sucking my dick today
I'm going to the Glory Hole
Gonna spend my weekly pay
Dream about virgin tits
While the beast greases up my pole
Gonna blow my load at the Glory Hole
Blow my load at the Glory Hole
Blow my load at the Glory Hole
Blow my load at the Glory Hole
Oh baby here I come!
Oh!
Oh!

[twonabomber]

How are they on AGT? Don't they already have a contract?

[Nickdfresh]

...

...

I'd like to anoint her with the "magic" of my penis, but pretty sure Steel Panther beat me to it!

BTW, I never watch this shit. I ditched cable and it was on broadcast and they mentioned SP coming on so it was kinda cool. The Ukrainian acrobat chicks were pretty "easy on the eyes" as well...

[Von Halen]

Steel Panther can't be Steel Panther on American Television. Not sure what this is all about. Their label must have pulled some strings. I love these guys live though. I hope they win! Oh, and I wish that fraud piece of shit Simon Cowell would die on screen.

They will have to perform new material. Their regular set list contains more filth than a Michigan grade school sex awareness booklet.

[Nitro Express]

What cheese shit production. Who scripts these shows?

[Terry]

The thing of it is...I thought or just assumed that show...like twona said...isn't that show basically a vehicle for performers who are of an amateur or undiscovered status?

[High Life Man]

"I can see this in Vegas."

Yeah, me too. And I have, multiple times over the past 10 years. Ain't no way Howie doesn't know these guys. They've all been doing there shows there forever and you know they all talk.

This was weird.

[Seshmeister]

Played straight so that no one would know they are a parody?

There are so many of their songs that they can't do and it's all their best ones. :)

In fact they have been around so long now there are some they have probably dropped from their usual live show because they would cross a line now.

Let me know when they are on next - good chance I could miss it.

[Von Halen]

I saw them maybe a month ago. I didn't get the impression they gave one fuck about the feelings of the holier than thou douchebags like Nickdlibtard.

Von are you like gay for me? You keep bringing me up and making me nervous. Are you like the Kevin Spacey gay rape dude or something? I mean for FFS, if I'm "holier that now" I'll make that argument. You don't get too, old man...

[Nickdfresh]

I guess live "rent free" in Von's head.. :)

[Nickdfresh]

And BTW, I am hardly the poster child of political correctness, you inbred autistic retard cunt, Von. :)

[Seshmeister]

Ralph is still such a fan...:)
