The quartet, featuring 'Michael Starr' (Ralph Saenz, vocals), 'Stix Zadinia' (Darren Leader, drums), 'Lexxi Foxx' (Travis Haley, bass) and 'Satchel' (Russ Parrish), began performing on the Sunset Strip under the name of Metal Shop, gradually gaining popularity and notoriety. They performed at weekly nights, playing covers of hair metal classics, making fun of the 80s lifestyle and image of bands like Van Halen. The band released their first album, "Hole Patrol" in 2003 independently, which gained some interest, with songs featured on TV shows.
In 2008, the band changed their name to Steel Panther, joining major label Republic Records (owned by Universal). In 2009 their major debut was released, titled "Feel the Steel" breaking into the Billboard charts and achieving Steel Panther significant success. Their album went to number one in the Billboard Comedy Charts and number 98 on the US charts, It included the singles "Death For All But Metal" and "Community Property" which became cult hits. Corey Taylor, Justin Hawkins and M. Shadows featured on the album.
Their second release, "Balls Out" was released in 2011, featuring guest appearances from comedian Dane Cook and Nickleback's Chad Kroeger, amongst others. The album surpassed Megadeth's "TH1RT3EN" and Lou Reed and Metallica's "Lulu" to reach number one in the UK ITunes Rock chart and number 40 on the US Billboard 200 chart, with frost week sales of 12,000 copies in the US.
Their success led to several tours which included a main stage slot at UK's Download Festival in 2012, playing to a crowd of over 100,000 people. They have also toured with Guns N' Roses, Mötley Crüe and Def Leppard.

Hands down, the best Steel Panther show I have seen. Many, many awesome things happened, besides the boobs!!! The guys were on point, all night. Where else are you going to get a kick ass Rock N' Roll show, and comedy show, for the price of admission? These guys take their music, and comedy, very serious, and they really nailed it tonight. The House of Blues was on FIRE!!!! A big shout out to the opening act, Citizen Zero, they rocked the house as well. Amazing musicians in their own right, they should be proud.
With all that said, Arthur stole the show. The crowd "body surfed" a guy in a wheelchair up to the stage. Steel Panther stopped the show, gave him a backstage pass, picks, brought him up on stage, for the remainder of the evening, and gave this guy the night of his life.
There really needs to be more fans like Steel Panther fans, more people like Arthur,and more acts like Steel Panther in this world.
It would truly be a much better place to live in!!!
Thank you all for making it not only one of the most heart felt, but amazing nights of my life!!!
I first heard of Steel Panther a few years back randomly on my drive in to work. Rumble in the Morning essentially stated it was a can't miss show. I got the opportunity to attend one of their shows while up in Maryland two years later. These guys have really mastered their craft. The show and characters were hilarious and memorable. They did all of this while playing some kick ass raunchy 80s glam rock/metal. I am attending all of these shows in the near future (Periphery, Mastodon, Metallica, Deftones, Slayer) and I don't know if they will be able to top the amount of sheer hilarity and amazing performance put on by the four members of Steel Panther. Please go and watch their shows. I plan on attending their shows in the future when they are in town.
Cheers,

Steel Panther was awesome, as usual and expected.
Disappointing was whoever did the sound check, didn't know what they were doing.
At the start of the show, the drummer/Stix snare drum mic had some issue, as it sounded terrible. Subsequently, the first 3 song, I was in complete dissbelief it was that bad. I kept looking at the guy running the board, and I couldn't be sure if he was hearing it, as I was 3 feet from him, right is the sweet spot - right next to and infront of the board. It took 3 sounds for the person running the sound board to make adjustments so it became sorta acceptable. Really, it was optimized. I've seen Steel Panther 6 times, and this time was different because of the issue with the sound from the drummer/Stix.
Great night was had by everyone there. It was easy to get to and tube trains where good. We arrived at 6.50 and doors opened at 7pm the staff where quick and was easy to have tickets scanned and move on into venue. The T-shirts where clear and priced clear to see. Got a good place on the floor to see band. The first band was a bit to much guitar for us but people seemed to like it. Then DJ came on which got the croud going well until Steel Panther came on stage. Then the place rocked the roof off. Toilets where clean and nice. Could do with a few more for women as we always seem to have to wait but it was ok. Leaving was a good as coming in staff friendly and opened doors. Tube was quick and got home in good time.
Concert was great. There were plenty of fans in costume/80's glam rock gear, including my wife and I. The opening act Everybody Panic was okay for a nu-metal band...but most sound the same to me these days. The other opening act, MF Ruckus was great. They were a great mix of AC/DC/Motorhead/Clutch/Southern Rock. They were very engaging and energetic and closed with a great cover of Iron Maiden's The Trooper.
This was our first time seeing Steel Panther live and we weren't disappointed. They all sounded great and they played most of their popular songs. There were a few they left out...but hey they have so many.
Definitely go see them live if you have a chance. Just bring your sense of humor.
Steel Panther really gave a great performance. These guys are very funny and obscenely cool. Even though they are playing characters, they are nonetheless very professional and know how to give a kick ass show. Micheal Star really has a great voice live and his range is pretty impressive. There is a segment where everyone leaves the stage except for Satchel, their lead guitarist, and he just shreds for a good 10 min. Man that guy can play! He gave me goosebumps for his whole solo. Overall this was a fantastic show and I would recommend it to anyone who is into rock or metal music. Steel Panther are awesome!
As always Steel Panther put on a great show. The comedy mix with the classic metal just comes together for an awesome spectacle.
The only thing that puts a damper on it are the fans. Some of them seem to think that slamming and wheeling in the standing area is appropriate - well this isn't one of those shows morons.
Playing first in line were the band I was really looking forward to seeing - Buckcherry, but the sound was terrible. So very disappointed.
Bowling for Soup are not my taste at all, but they did put on an entertaining show. I didn't realise Joe Pasquali was the lead singer though ;)
Steel Panther brought a brand new show to Jannus. Lexii has new bass strings. Satchel has a new $300 signature guitar. Stix has a new drum head. You get the idea. The guys also brought new music from their Heavy Metal Rules CD that was just released. As always, the musicianship is tight. The harmonies spot on. The rhythms taking everyone on a heavy metal sex machine ride. This was my 5th time seeing Steel Panther. Michael Starr's voice is amazing. The joking back and forth is hilarious. You have to see this band live. It's been different and awesome every single time!
How was the Steel Panther show @ The Hard Rock Casino?
Fukin sweet.
Titties everywhere.
Stunning butt on this asian girl that was asked to come up on stage and show it off. Lord!!
Of course SP rocked the shit out of the place as always.
And for the first time in five shows, an ENCORE!
Its like winning the Steel Panther lottery.
We even made it through two versus of Dust in the Wind. Satchel was super impressed.
And icing on the cake. Got a LEXXI FOXX guitar pick.
Best. Show. Ever.
If you want an evening with lots of fun and talk about sex, Steel Panther is the right band for you.
I was my first Steel Panther koncert and I was entertained but not overexcited. The missing point was, that the show in many sessions seemed too planned, and the connection with the audience was a Little superficial.
They can play and it was fun, but I do not think, I will attend a concert Again.
