Firstly, I'm a big Steel Panther fan. I was just casually scrolling through a random hair metal playlist and I saw the screenshot for this and thought to myself "Woah, that looks like a young Michael Starr!" Turns out it most definitely is. And here I was thinking I knew everything about Steel Panther.
Not only is Michael Starr underrated but this whole band is honestly. A shame he didn’t make it really big in the early days. This is great! Glad I found it.
Damn can't stop thinking David Lee Roth and Sebastian Bach mixed together. Been a long time coming but im glad Ralph/Michael is enjoying crazy success now and Steel Panther fucking rocks!! So glad I finally got to see them and hope to see them a few more times.
Imagine if grunge never came around in late `91. Skid Row and Slaughter and possibly these guys and other bands like Tuff would've likely gotten as big as the Crue if hair metal went unimpeded. Damn, now I gotta build a time machine.
Criss Wikked the list of bands from 89 to 92 is very large like Babylon A.D, Wildside, Roxy Blue, Firehouse, Slik Toxik, Tyketto, Beau Nasty, Blue Blud, Syre, Smash L.A, Dirty Blonde, Steelheart, Spread Eagle, Rhino Bucket, Nelson, Every Mother's Nighmare, Warrior Soul, Cold Sweat, Baton Rouge, Saigon Kick, Harem Scarem, and the list goes on and on,those bands should have gotten big in the 90s, grunge should have stayed underground, nu "metal" shouldn't have come up never.
tab6496 I'm the wrong person to be be explaining that to. I have albums from all those bands, my favorite is Babylon AD. I have my town hair metal band so I thought I'd need my history, which I know.
Criss Wikked Honestly it wasn't just grunge that killed it...harder metal outfits like Metallica, Megadeth were gaining in popularity...then Pantera came around in 1990...honestly glam metal was already on the chopping board. I mean, Metal was already splintering apart...then this alternative music took precedent.
This was The band Ralph Used To Be In Before He Was Known As Michael Starr In Steal Panther I gotta Say! I love The Old SCHOOL glam! Love ALL the Underated and popular Bands of The Glam era!!! 🎸👍
I love the very end. . . "Clown Rock!" Hahahahahaha. It's like the dweeb saw the future. Steel Panther are now the Kings Of Clown Rock. And I mean that in a reverent way. Steel Panther is hilarious and talented and they rock!
Funny how the video crosses paths with a little real life prediction. Wigs & Clown Rock isn't how I see Steel Panther but the end of this video & the concept are pretty funny.
Right here, he sounds mostly like Vince Neil and in some spots, Bret Michaels. But then you hear that Michael Starr screech and you know instantly who that is.

Look up Nightfall - Traitor of Love, that's michal starr before this band! Awesome Stuff
Rhys Dennis I love so much this song!
Long Gone CD available at Demon Doll Records
www.demondollrecords.com
He also sang for L.A Guns and recorded 7-8 tracks with them.
Now to be fair, he wasn't Michael Starr here, he was still Ralph Saenz. 😂🤘
Not only is Michael Starr underrated but this whole band is honestly. A shame he didn’t make it really big in the early days. This is great! Glad I found it.
It's weird hearing Michael Starr not singing crude and satirical lyrics.
SP plays a lot of cover songs...
He’s got a whole catalogue of songs outside steel panther
I total dig it cause its totally poser metal but try to nail them guitar solos.bye. Aldo. From Rose mead ca.
Michael's voice is so underrated. It's so fucking rad dude.
100!
Michael is really adorable omg wow.
Right!! I mean he still looks great now too. But weirdly he looks like a guy I dated in highschool.
maybe he is the guy you dated in high school
Look at his butt back then.
Almost 30 years later he s got the same hairstyle :) love it!
@Si Cotic and his voice hasnt changed a bit!
He looks like a mix between David Lee Roth and Sebastian Bach
If David Lee Roth and Meatloaf had a baby. Mike Starr everybody.
is more like if Eddie Van Halen and Sebastian Bach had a baby
Damn can't stop thinking David Lee Roth and Sebastian Bach mixed together.
Been a long time coming but im glad Ralph/Michael is enjoying crazy success now and Steel Panther fucking rocks!! So glad I finally got to see them and hope to see them a few more times.
Ralph Saenz is a skinny version of Michael Starr !
"I've got an idea.... EAAATIIIING AIIIINT CHEAAATINNNN"
YOU SHOULD KNOW SUCKIN AINT FUCKIN!!!
another awesome band who never made it during the 90s

5:42 The inception of Steel Panther.
Wow! Michael Starr was young once! o_O
this was back when he was only 32, and now he’s 73. time really flies
Actually he's only 53 now. This was when he was 26
RockersN_Rollers you dont get the joke? Watch some panther interviews and you will see
I think this is actually his youngest child.
Love it. Very Skid Row-ish. Michael even reminds me of Baz.
Can't wait to see Steel Panther in 2 weeks!
Crazy that Michael was 49 here. Which makes him about 79 now. Looks great for his age
Check out Ralph's leg-shakin'/body-waving dance moves! He still uses that move! (e.g. the video for Glory Hole).
Who's that guy? Sebastian Saenz or Ralph Bach?)))
exactly :D
Ikr
Well, They did take me higher than I've ever been before. And I would like to come down now please. Thank you.
Just your standard late 80's early 90's hair metal band, but it's Michael Starr, so it's worth a listen!
Michal Starr is probably 100 years now
Michael is a fucking singer and frontman! This band was great. I’m a huge fan of Steel Panther
Awesome.
agree with the hint of White Lion. Skid Row also came to my mind.
This is freakin great!
yeah, but some Hanoi Rock vibes to it too! :)
26 year old Michael/Ralph here omg so freaking cute ♥
I needed this in my life.
God, Michael was born with the ability to grow beautifully like that... his natural overdrive is gorgeous
I have your CD and I love to listen to it :) Very nice music your voice is so good!
this is totally awesome!
I love his hair! ❤️Ralph...
21 people who do not know what great music is !
This was The band Ralph Used To Be In Before He Was Known As Michael Starr In Steal Panther I gotta Say! I love The Old SCHOOL glam! Love ALL the Underated and popular Bands of The Glam era!!! 🎸👍
He was the singer for la guns for a while and recorded 7 -8 tracks with them on an album titled Wasted.
Nice! I've actually Heard it When it was first released And it was amazing! 🤘
OMG! I love Michael Starr! Haha!
I hate they had to wait so long to find success but Im also kinda glad, it made Michael what he is now.
Manny Alvarez is full of good ideas!
Hahahha I was in kindergarten when this was filmed 🤘🏻

When a problem comes along, you must whip it!
that bass line sounded familiar....
Ralph did the vocals for a song on a curious George soundtrack too
m.soundcloud.com/niknol/kinda-sorta-haunted-house
nice song
This was on my 21st birthday.
Verá Ralph esto en sus tiempos libres?
dude great chorus lol. and Ralphs fuckin hot
Wow, Michael looks so much taller since he is so slender. I love him both skinny and chubby.
I love the very end. . . "Clown Rock!" Hahahahahaha. It's like the dweeb saw the future. Steel Panther are now the Kings Of Clown Rock. And I mean that in a reverent way. Steel Panther is hilarious and talented and they rock!
Somewhere in North Hollywood? Haha, looks like the stage at FM Station/North Hollywood to me.
Never thought I’d see another clip of a slim Michael Starr aside from that of the movie ROCKSTAR
1:00 best way to say Ralph ever :)
michael look sooooooooo hot! xxx
Even back then, Ralph just couldn't help himself but be silly!😊
Holy sh*t I knew Mike Tramp was in White Lion but I never heard of his other project Long Gone!! Im totally in disbelief!
Michael Starr its such a great singer should have been a BIGGER Star !
I thought it was a Yoko Ono live art performance at first.
He was almost pretty enough to hang out with my crew back in the day
Those Black leather pants oh my you should pull them out of storage Michael Starr
Epic.
Lexxi, Sachel and Stix sure did look different back then.
michael starr I love your band
Ralp Sáenz ⚰⚰⚰🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Michael..ralph..whoever steel panther rocks! and he is the only guy in steel panther with actually real long hair too! lol
I can't practically anything on this on the net. Anyone knows about a place where I could find, and possibly download more music from this band?
www.demondollrecords.com/products/long-gone-long-gone
I'm not drooling, you are.
Ralph is waaaay better singer now
Almost a hint of White Lion in it as well.
Was this the only song that they recorded or is there an album ?
There are others, mostly demos tho, look up long gone ralph sanez
Who is the guitar player? I really like this pre-micael starr somg
Manny Alvarez
Wild Obsession - L.A. Guns

Manny Alvarez 👋🏻
ŠAMAN!
IN
TRANCĖ!!
🏴☠️🧄🥦🧅 🏴☠️
I remember Bang Tango
wow
You know the guitar player is satchel right?
Clown rock - and he made it... It's called Steel Panther.
absolutely mind blowing.... that dude literally foretold this all... all he said and he even picked Saenz ... just wow!
Hearing him actually go by Ralph is fucking jarring lol
Nice to see he kept the eyebrow raises
He looks like a chubby david lee roth 😂 actually on second thought he looks like a skinny version of vince Neil 🤣
Michael staaarrrr!!!!
Michael Starr 🤘
Funny how the video crosses paths with a little real life prediction. Wigs & Clown Rock isn't how I see Steel Panther but the end of this video & the concept are pretty funny.
Michael Starr!!!
This looks like it's from around the same time as he was in the movie "rockstar "
Rock Star was 10 years after this
Michael Starr. Gad dam !!!
Whos the band at the start?? Sounds like one of the bands in up in smoke
I expected this man will say Michael and I was very surprised he called Michael Ralph
Right here, he sounds mostly like Vince Neil and in some spots, Bret Michaels. But then you hear that Michael Starr screech and you know instantly who that is.
That singer looks like a chubby David Lee Roth, scratch that. More like a skinny version of Vince Neil
*Michael Lee Bach*
Somebody has lyrics for this song?
Wow Michael Star looks like a rocking Michael Bolton
Ralph a Chad tho
Damn he looks just like a young Sebastian Bach
His actual name is Ralph Saenz.
Ralph does look a lot like Sebastian.
imaniguana his moves, the way he kept the upper part of his shirt unbuttoned, and his high screams definitely has some Seb Bach ting to it.
