This band seriously changed my life. I spent years getting stoned and not getting laid, after seeing these guys i went out and got myself a les paul, a marshall stack and a massive can of hairspray. Now every girl in a 5 mile radius can hear my riffs and get wet, they all come and find me and life is amazing.
How can four human beings rock really hard yet at the same time be so stupidly hilarious? Steel Panther needs to keep on doing what they do,like,forever.
Everyone loves Steel Panther. I do. My death metal elitist friends likes them. My friend who isn't really into metal, also loves them. A better question is. How can you not like Steel Panther?
ImmaChiaotzu1 simple...they are perverted pedophiles who only see women as fuck toys no matter the age..steel panther has no talent...real metal is not steel panther
I saw them live last night in Prague and it was fun worth 20 bucks I spent for the show. Every single coin. They are what 80s glam rock bands HOPED to be
I remember them playing at the Red Square back in 1987 - one of the first western metal bands to rock in the heart of Russian capital. After the show and an enormous quantity of beer my pals decided to start Gorky Park band, the later is history
Lovin the fake behind the music documentary with everyone from the 80s saying how awesome they are, I also agree with the comment about Scott Ian, I swear the dude has a contract to be on every one of vh1s behind the music documentarys. Fake or not! Lol
i love these guys so much :D i know they are about the comedy but it's so cool to see actual heavy metal music come back :) they are funny guys but are extremely talented too :)
I think that's what a lot of people don't realize. These guys are trying to keep the genre of music alive, not just by being bloody hilarious but they are amazingly talented as well. Nobody else could pull this off as well as they do. It was the era in which I grew up (80's) and I wouldn't have it any other way so I hope they keep it going for a very long time. People who thumbed down...just don't get it or don't know what fun is! :)
Dude, I remember when this guys came out in '85, Steel Panther was the first album I ever bought. That album had such a big impact on me! After that all I did was get laid and fuckin' party! I'm so glad they made a comeback! STEEL PANTHER ROCKS!!!
Oh, man, this was some hilarious stuff. I don't know how I missed this. I went on a jag a couple of years ago, watching all of their videos but I missed this. If you can find it, there's video--a whole concert--of these guys pretending to be a tribute band to Steel Panther. It's hilarious, too. This is a crazy act. The thing is, they really are a very good band. And they're evidently very good writers, too, because that stage banter is crazy.
I saw them a day after Jani Lane past and they still performed to expectation,great job guy's.It must have been tough gutting it in but i'm glad you did,great show.
Let's just say Warrent has plenty of good songs in addition to Cherry Pie, in many ways it was a good thing they have a song like that. It got people to notice them and check out their other stuff.
In the 80's I wasnt much for the hair bands, so I got way into the late 60's stuff til some bands like Nirvana... But this??? This is was 80's metal WISHES it was back in the day. What I find the most funny? is that these guys can actually play.
JBL8863 No. Not at all. I stayed with it until.sometime around 81 or so..having come up on the 70;s bands... Zep, skynyrd, Pink Floyd, Eagles, Bad Company, BTO, UFO, etc. but then when the hair bands hit I dropped new rock (them) and went into late 60's stuff. I started getting back into things around the time of GnRs 1st album. The entire time I had stuck with a few bands like sabbath/ozzy and van halen. Yeah, most hairband fans dont "get" Nirvana. No surprise. After all Nirvana literally changed the music scape of the time and blew the hair bands off the map. I again dropped new rock back in around 03, and this time I dont think Ill be going back. With the exception of a few bands...the crap they call rock these days is just sickening. As far as Steel Panther goes, I do think that hair bands are great to caricature. The fact that they can play well is just a side benefit. :>
yet still created bad music, there's a reason most of those grunge bands died off and alot of the Hair bands are still out touring and making albums. Pretty sure Kurt killed himself because he realized he was subjecting the world to shit music.
Let's be clear: this is not a parody band. They're not a heavy metal Weird Al. They just realized that the market for the glam stuff is still around and was self-aware enough to point out its silliness. They have a great sense of humor. If this made you a parody band, then Zappa would be too.
True or not with there comedic lyrics an there Glam Metal style, Im an instant fan!! Bringing back the true metal That I fell in love with an there wild crazy music videos im sold!
I get that they're a cover/comedy or whatever but their own music is quite good as well as their covers simply put they're every bit as good as poison, kiss whitesnake ect. ect.
@@Starfight947 No, they wouldn't. Michael Starr can sing literally anything and Satchel toured with Rob Halford. Any band right now, would love to have these guys with them. Regardless of your opinion, these guys are supremely talented musicians and bloody hilarious, that's a fact! There's no one around like them. I hope they keep it going for a long time. Sounds like you need to see them live and loosen up, have some fun :)
@@Starfight947 I have no doubt at all that they can and will make their own music. But why do that right now? If you've ever been to one of their shows you'd know the reason. They are immensely loved, that's why. They are a 'feel good' band. There are a lot of people with shitty lives, who just want to listen to some great 80's tunes and remember those times when we were young, fucked up and having a great time. If you are successful at doing that? They don't HAVE to do anything else. When people stop going to their sold-out shows, perhaps they will dig deeper then. For right now, I"ll take them as they are. No one is forcing you to listen or comment, but you are certainly missing a hell of a time..shame really...
Funny story, I actually partied with Satchel at this hole in the wall bar in some shitty slum of LA in the summer of 83. He asked me if I wanted to do a shot of pure gasoline, and I thought he was crazy. Five hours later we were on our way to Vegas in a stolen cop car with six hookers and a trunk full of blow, blasting Van Halen's "Fair Warning" album through the police speakers. I woke up two days later in Spokane, Washington with no other memories of the previous 72 hours.
I SHIT A METRIC FUCKTON THE FIRST TIME I HEARD THE PANTHER. I am doing ok now, lots of re-constructive bowel surgery and i have to use a plastic pipe to piss from, but generally life is good.
I love the fact that they got all these dudes from famous metal bands to do this mockumentary.
I wouldn't say Dave Navarro qualifies as famous or metal
@@solos6549 Navarro was in the RHCP, now he's a judge on Ink Master, he's famous
I was not expecting Dee Snider to be there
5500somerandomdude Mmm hmmm that's funny
Well.... you can get Scott Ian for anything
I swear, Scott Ian is in everything.
Yep..
Same with Dee Snider and Dave Navarro. It's almost sad, honestly.
He spends more time doing interviews than breathing.
JavMaj9 He worked for VH1 for awhile.
+Sean Brown why

I need a real documentary of these guys. I can’t get enough of them.
there already is one. Spinal Tap.
@@zaqueenateatro can’t find it. Any link you could share? Would love to see it.
Matt Sorrum : "Thats crazy man, 20 years to make a record? Who would do that?" *Guns n Roses logo blinks lol
yeah, I got that!
It was actually Axl,they had all left the band.
Best line ever!
They figured my mom-- M.S.
How can four human beings rock really hard yet at the same time be so stupidly hilarious? Steel Panther needs to keep on doing what they do,like,forever.
The GNR 20 year reference...gold.
That reference was the best!
didn't get it
@@JuanMartinez-ib7mz Guns n Roses took 20 years to make Chinese Democracy lol
@@KyleDaSloth I hope he was joking
14 but ok
1:19
I'm fucking crying at those bullshit pictures.
The lexxi with those insane sideburns. Lmfao
And if you look at it, really appears their real names
Best fake roc doc ever. RIP Jani Lane
+BulletsBacon Beer Massacration is better.
+BulletsBacon Beer Spinal Tap?
Its crazy, its like this documentary is more cent than his death
He was the funniest one.
Spinal tap?
Awwww man, Jani Lane is in this video.
RIP Jani
Oddly, as soon as I saw him, I paused the video and scrolled down to see how old this was, having seen this comment.
Dio.....
:(
Heaven really isnt too far away for him
Made me tear up... loved him...may he rest in peace
Everyone loves Steel Panther. I do. My death metal elitist friends likes them. My friend who isn't really into metal, also loves them. A better question is. How can you not like Steel Panther?
ImmaChiaotzu1 my lame friends hate them
ImmaChiaotzu1 Goody two shoes prudes with no sense of humor don't like them.
God hates them!!!111!1! pray the Lord you pagans!!1!
ImmaChiaotzu1 simple...they are perverted pedophiles who only see women as fuck toys no matter the age..steel panther has no talent...real metal is not steel panther
The thing is, they're putting joke lyrics over legitimately great songs. It's like Tenacious D and Motley Crue had a baby
"I heard they were into acid, like car battery acid" lol I will miss you Jani Lane! RIP Brother
Just freaking purrfect!
Even though they're just a parody band it still makes you feel passionate about 80s metal. Best Music decade ever!
I saw them live last night in Prague and it was fun worth 20 bucks I spent for the show. Every single coin. They are what 80s glam rock bands HOPED to be
"And from those humble beginnings"
lol
That part had me cracking up
2:13 😂 this mockumentary is brilliant
I remember them playing at the Red Square back in 1987 - one of the first western metal bands to rock in the heart of Russian capital. After the show and an enormous quantity of beer my pals decided to start Gorky Park band, the later is history
"It's crazy man. 20 years to make a record. Who would do that?"
lol i hope you dont mean that
Hah, I was quoting Matt Sorum's jab at Guns n Roses.
And if you look at the GNR shield you can see it flash after he said it :D
Necrophagist would
***** im sorry you like guns and posers , the gayest metal i will listen to is metallica kill em all ,
These guys are very talented and funny as hell. I like what they're doing. So much fun.
I’m convinced Satchel is Ben Stiller wearing a wig. Love the panther 🐆
Haha, your comment just reminded me of his hilarious role in Dodgeball.
Adrien, yes. Zoolander as well. In fact they all have that zoolander moment lol.
I will miss you Lexie!!!! You rock on!!!!!!
4:17 “Lead Bass”😂
Jessica Boucaky...
Michael Ockurtz....
....classy...
Seeing Jani Lane made my heart hurt , I can’t believe he’s gone ! 💕😢💕
Agreed. Especially knowing how he died in a sleezy hotel alone. RIP Jani.
I can’t believe I hadn’t seen this sooner 😂😂😂
Lovin the fake behind the music documentary with everyone from the 80s saying how awesome they are, I also agree with the comment about Scott Ian, I swear the dude has a contract to be on every one of vh1s behind the music documentarys. Fake or not! Lol
Randy Farrell reminds me of that Garth Brooks bit lol
@Reghardt van Rensburg ?
@Reghardt van Rensburg the fact that Dee Snider has nothing nice to say about 80s metal bands has me saying this is fake
Scott Ian never had a contract, but his goatee was signed to a 7 year deal.
THESE KINDS OF BANDS LED TO THE DEMISE OF ROCK MUSIC
3:45
"Apparently, the manager said for them to show up at their showcase, to go to the showcase, they thought he said, go get shitfaced"
😂😂😂
Lol yeah that's when I lost it how did he say that with a straight face..
Best Behind The Music, ever! I'm in tears from laughing so hard.
GREAT BANDDDDD !!!... awesome performance in live concerts !!!
Zven Hicks WOW!!!!!!! That’s cool buddy
I discovered these guys 3 days ago and now they're my favourite band already. Death to all but metal!
I don't know what's more hilarious this video or the comments to this video luv it
Jani ❤️

Matt Sorum killed me in this ahaha
that was brilliant 😂
nice to see that there's still some humour in the world ^^
Can’t believe this was 10 years ago! and RIP, Jani.

2022 and it’s still the best band mockumentary since spinal tap
Great album, when music actually had a message and soul.
Another reason why they are the best.. Steel Panther for life...
I saw them a day after Jani Lane past and they still performed to expectation,great job guy's.It must have been tough gutting it in but i'm glad you did,great show.
This was great.
Satchel really reminds me of Link from Good Mythical Morning!
I knew he looked really familiar
They're the same person. Trust me I'm telepathic
Finally! Someone noticed!
And Rhett is Layne Staley from Alice in Chains :P
That was the first thing I noticed when I saw them the first time. I also thought Lexxi was a chick for a long goddamn time
Stix has a pretty cool workout routine-why not an infommercial and dvds I'd buy it
lol those guys make me smile, very much bringing back memories of Twisted Sister, Poison... =)
I'm gonna see them April 30th. They've had a lot of success since this video. Might be one of the biggest rock groups out there right now.
"the greatest metal band you never heard" lol
Haha Matt Sorum kills this
RIP Jani Lane... 🙏 An amazing singer of an amazing band. Too bad everything everyone knows him only for Cherry Pie. They had so much more better songs
I know friend, Uncle Tom's cabin is a F###ING MASTERPIECE!!!

Bands could play as well... but you pretty much nailed it.
IPushHard Nirvana sucks though.

Yeah, Nirvana single-highhandedly knocked the hair bands off the charts in around a week. lol
yet still created bad music, there's a reason most of those grunge bands died off and alot of the Hair bands are still out touring and making albums. Pretty sure Kurt killed himself because he realized he was subjecting the world to shit music.
Thank you Austrian Rock Radio for introducing me to these totally awesome MOFO's.
RIP Jani Lane
I really miss him, such a talented man. RIP Jani
...greatest cultural force of the late 20th century and today!
n 20 years later..haha
RIP Jani Lane.
Greatest behind the music ever
I heard they were on acid... Like actual battery acid.. LMAO!!
1:51 "The first time I saw them, I was like, WHAT THE FUCK AM I LOOKING AT???" LMFAO!!
OMG! This is hilarious!
6-17 : Satchel's performing one one true 80's move. I mean ... they got it ALL, they understand from the roots what they're parodying. It's amazing.
Let's be clear: this is not a parody band. They're not a heavy metal Weird Al. They just realized that the market for the glam stuff is still around and was self-aware enough to point out its silliness. They have a great sense of humor. If this made you a parody band, then Zappa would be too.
Relax bro it is both
They are both. Parody & talented.
And wierd al is very talented too. So lay down the wierd al hate.
This is a great band!! Period !!!!! Gonna miss Lexie!!!!
"Lookin' at me like I'm a side of fries" I can't stop laughing!
one of the greatest bands I ever saw
'Not acid, but battery acid. That shit will fuck you over 6 ways to Sunday'.. rofl.
Gotta love these dudes!
1:20 Funny how their real names are next to their "band names"
Travis Haley = Lexxi Foxx
Russ Parrish = Satchel
Ralph Saenz = Michael Starr
And of course we're getting a new record SOON!!!
"That's crazy man, 20 years to make a record? Who would do that..." HAHHAHAHAHA
True or not with there comedic lyrics an there Glam Metal style, Im an instant fan!! Bringing back the true metal That I fell in love with an there wild crazy music videos im sold!
Stix Zadinia... Lol, took me long enough.
I'm just glad that they're all alive and made it out of that scene!
5:38 "That's crazy man.. 20 years to make a record ? Who would do that ?!" Guns n' Roses tag starts flashing :))
I would not miss seeing these guys OMG!!!
Glory hole video is the greatest.
I love these guys!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
They had it all along, they Rock! this is the 2012 80's
I get that they're a cover/comedy or whatever but their own music is quite good as well as their covers simply put they're every bit as good as poison, kiss whitesnake ect. ect.
this is where the legend begins
LMAO at Matt Sorum's mom, brilliant!
This just kills....on all levels..
these guys are probably more talented than most bands period!

Hey there 80s, how're you doing?
I would 💯% watch a full length mockumentary of these guys, like spinal tap.
Watching this for the 1st time in 2019, and Jani Lane shows up :( Gone too soon . . .
God damn, I love this band.
The lead singer looks like Vince Neil,Bret Micahels and Sebastian Bach all rolled into one🤯
"Fuck you up six ways to Sunday" omg I am so using that! R.I.P. Jani Lane.
