Steel Panther have carved out quite the career for themselves, by not being themselves. The band started out under the moniker Metal Skool, and quickly became the toast of the strip with their blistering covers sets of classics from Van Halen and countless other mainstays of the 80’s hair metal scene. After changing the name the band would earn a name for their raunchy lyrics and over the top playing with a live show that was equal parts a metal show and a comedy set complete with stage banter that would make Sam Kinison blush. Steel Panther have lasted longer than most would’ve expected spanning 10 years and 5 studio albums, including 2019’s Heavy Metal Rules.
The Steel Panther frontman discusses critics reactions to the bands latest album, Heavy Metal Rules, and how the band has always gotten bad reviews despite selling out clubs worldwide. Starr also comments on bands not wanting to align with the bands brand of hard partying and loose women lifestyle they portray on stage and in their songs and much more.
