Sunset Strip glam metal played absolutely straight musically and absolutely not lyrically: spandex, shred solos and some of the filthiest jokes in rock.

About Steel Panther
Steel Panther is a glam metal band from Los Angeles, CA, formed in 2000.
Steel Panther grew out of Metal Skool, a Los Angeles covers act that played 1980s metal at a long-running Sunset Strip residency before switching to original songs. The members perform in character: singer Michael Starr, guitarist Satchel, drummer Stix Zadinia, and originally bassist Lexxi Foxx, later replaced by Spyder.
Debut album Feel the Steel arrived in 2009, followed by Balls Out, All You Can Eat and several more. The musicianship is serious, with Satchel's shred solos and tight harmony vocals, while the lyrics and stage banter are crude sex jokes delivered in the voice of an ageing hair metal band. Songs such as "Death to All but Metal" sit closest to straight parody.
