Steel Panther / Feel The Steel (2009)

BBC wrote : "Lock up your daughters, break out your hairspray, LA's premier metal band are back with a debut album that's been 20 years in the making! or so the story goes. In fact, Steel Panther are an 80s glam metal tribute band whose genius look and lyrics tower above anything seen before in the world of music parody."

Excactly. Steel Panther is a glam/heavy band with one purpose only: to entertain us! I really don't care about their childish lyrics or their image, but I do care about the energy they are releasing! If only the lyrics were more serious, then probably this album was a much better effort overall. But lets talk about the music here. So, the musicianship is excellent, the production is big with a really 'fat' sound overall, the choruses are all catchy and very enjoyable and the singer has a strong and 'sleazy' voice.
All in all, this is a very interesting release in the vain of the glory 80's glam & sleaze dayz of the great Motley Crue, Poison, Tigertailz e.t.c., played with passion and full of great anthemic tunes, cool guitar work and most of all FUN !!!Isn't that enough?
