The Steel Panther album just arrived :D Sounds a bit more 'produced' than the Metal Skool versions of a couple of songs.
Well priced at £8.99 at HMV too, well worth the sh!ts and gigs
Saw them live last night in London
Was possibly the best gig I've ever seen
That's high praise indeed! :o :D
Indeed - they were that good
It was the perfect mix of comedy and truly awesome good time hard rock
The onstage banter was as important as the songs in some ways
I laughed more than I have ever done at a stand up comedy gig (and I love good stand up comedy)
And it was an hour and a half of fist in the air good rocking fun
They played pretty much all of their new album Feel the Steel and encored with Motley's Kickstart My heart and also with Van Halen's Panama.
I was already a fan of the band in their previous incarnation as Atomic Punks and they do Van Halen better than Van Halen.....and Motley would kill to sound as good
Was Satchel playing through a pair of Marshalls again?
Yes Satchel (Russ Parish) played through a pair of Marshall JCM2000 heads and had a great sound
He also did an amazing solo spot, where he ended up playing drums and guitar together
The "airhead" bass player got a "hair solo" and spent much of the gig preening in front of a mirror, like he does in the Death to all but Metal video
There is some youtube footage up already.
It was such good fun!
