It was Elton John who said that Saturday night is alright for fighting. But, there are no need for fisticuffs when Steel Panther rolls in to town. It only means one thing. That a wild, and very un-PG party is about to take place. Steel Panther's rise to the top was rather remarkable. I first remember seeing them as a band who would play tunes on the side during Comedy Central roasts. A name change and the release of their hit single 'Death To All But Metal' changed everything for them. Don't let the presentation fool you. They may dress up like a band that never outgrew the 80's, but these guys can play. Lead guitarist Satchel is probably one of the most underrated guitarist out there and singer Michael Starr has a way to making several of the words that George Carlin once said would never appear on television, sound downright friendly and
fun on a record. Steel Panther were at the Théâtre Corona to make up dates that were delayed due to 'The Plague' a few years back. They were touring in support of what was their most recent album at the time, Heavy Metal Rules, but now they also have another new album, On The Prowl, which will be released in February of 2023. I've already pre-ordered my copy because we've been lacking in fun for the last few years and that is one thing that is guaranteed with every one of their albums. Lots of great music and lyrics that are witty, humorous and probably not something you'd play at a family gathering, but sound great blasting out of the speakers of your car. The first photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/160sec, ISO 4000 at 24mm and the second photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/125sec, ISO 4000 at 24mm. Here are several more photographs that I took of their performance.
