Steel Panther - Live at Rock City
LA glam rockers Steel Panther hit the UK with a couple of shows. Bringing the glam of the sunset strip to Nottingham Rock CIty for one night only.
It was like being back in the eighties in Nottingham Rock City, with many people in the crowed supporting big hair and several in spandax. We were already to party with Steel Panther the only band trying to bring back the eighties. From past Steel Panther shows u know u gotta get your money worth and you sure did tonight.
The band hits the stage all dressed up in spandax and demin with big hair. The room was electric as they went straight into 'Eyes of a panther'. The crowd went wild and carried on this way all night. Singing along all night and enjoying Steel Panther. Through out the show the band was giving out a lot of banter between them selves and the audience. Cover sex, drugs and rock n roll. With plenty of joke telling and trying to get it on with many of the females in the audience. Out on the stage the band will give you all the rockstar poses throught out the gig.
Back to the music these guys are a very talented lot. With songs like 'community property', 'shocker', death to all but metal' and 'party all night'. All sound like classic eightes hair metal. Other favourites on the night were ' fat girls' and 'turn out the lights'.
Lead singer Michael Starr was on fire tonight and was taken by the crowd as a rock god! Looking like David Lee Roth for most night he gave it all and what a front man. Satchell is a awesome guitrist
For the encore they played two covers. Guns n' Roses Mr Brownstone was first and they totally rocked the hell out of this song. Second was Whitesnake Here We Go Again which went into a load of different songs which they joked ripped of this song was so funny. Then that was it!
After just under two hours it was over. What a night and what a concert! It was like being back in the eighties tonight and Steel Panther totally delivered. A mixture of songs and story telling. They put the fun back into rock n roll tonight and you have to see this band live. Check them out weekly in LA and in Las Vegas. Also they be back in the UK in March.
