This band is an enigma and a very controversy item, for true Metalheads like you & me.

In one hand we have a parody cliché act, with some very childish, sexist and stupid lyrics but and it's a big but, the guys can surely plays their ass of, remember that guitar player Russ Parish aka Satchel was WAR & PEACE / FIGHT's shredder in chief... The singer is an hell of a screamer and he performed with a bunch of respected players... So it's not easy to assimilate the band profile and capture the true essence of STEEL PANTHER.

I liked both albums, but I still had some restrictions... Are they honest and sincere?... As Metal music is a pure at heart art... Do they deserve my attention? The live situation is conducive to catch their own spirit: Are they making joke with you or about you ?

Let me say on thing, you can think what you want about their images or their words, for me: they really love playing Hair Metal, they just found a way to do it, in the right old fashion way without being rejected or mocked. This is one of the funniest show I saw in a long time and even their text lines were some kind of hilarious!

The sound was almost perfect and the playing quite tight... I wish that MOTLEY or POISON, could play that way & compete with them... I agree that sometimes they were a little over the top in their acting mimics and also as their in between songs jokes could appears as LAS VEGAS stand up comedy show.

Let's face it guys...Good old Hair Metal days period is gone forever and STEEL PANTHER is the only "time capsule" to reach it again. But it's not only for Nostalgic or the quarantine Headbangers - fellows, as the whole audience was young/wasted/wild...I was amazed how the girls in the fan crowd were crazy and how they goes way, way over the call of duty while on stage with them for the well named song "Party All Day (Fuck All Night)"...Even the STEEL PANTHER guys were amazed by such no bashful behaviour...Anyway a nice evening. THE TREATMENT were the support band... Energetic and juvenile British Hard-Rock.
