METAL SHOP! METAL SKOOL! STEEL PANTHER!

I’ve never gotten to see Metal Skool, f.k.a. Metal Shop, live, because, well, I loathe LA and don’t go there very often, and they don’t come to NY.

BUT… I do all about them and their alocohol soaked, celeb-magnet live shows… which we have, in fact, posted about before.

So. The group has changed their name – again – this time to Steel Panther. They’ll be releasing an album, Feel the Steel, on June 9 on Universal – yes, they are on a major label. Honestly, I don’t know if it will be hilarious or wear out its welcome after a few listens (’cause let’s face it, often times joke bands really don’t work outside of a live setting, if at all), but, hey, I’m curious.

Here’s their new video for “Death to All but Metal.”

    haha i’m blazed and i actually enjoyed it. solo’s weren’t half bad and sarah’s camio made the whole video worth watching.

    “that chick’s retarded. i was going to fuck her but not now”

    I dig the “I Don’t Feel Tardy” shirt. Indeed, death to all Butt Metal.

    lol Fuckin’ amazing! These dudes are awesome. Touche on the Sarah Silverman cameo as well. Nicely done.

  • Vlad the Ripper

    Hey! That was actually funny! Also, check out “Fat Girl.”

  • Allan

    I geeked at the first lyric.

  • kirk

    HELL YEAH. This song rulez ballz. These guys played the SoCal circuit and always sold out every show. There was nothing less than a hailstorm of vaginas being thrown on stage at any given moment.

    Side note: Believe it or not, the Goo Goo Dolls were signed to Metal Blade.

  • Damotello

    Metal shop/skool/panther/etc. kick ass. Aside from being funny I think this is a really catchy song. Eyes of a panther is awesome as well.

  • tyler09

    THEY WERE?!?!?!?! Good shit. Awesome song

  • steverazorberry

    That was the most awesome thing I ever saw. When Tony Romo wins Super Bowl MVP Metal Skool/Steel Panther will play his personal after party.

    I saw these guys at SXSW the other day.. they did “Girl From Oklahoma” on the air acoustic and freaking owned. It was hilarious, and at the same time really good. As a metal fan who actually was around for the whole glam scene, I love it. They were awesome guys too.

  • Glenn

    Always great! Always. I love the way the music is so much heavier and thrashy than any glam metal band was back in the day…

    If you had to compare Spinal Tap to Steel Panther, who wins?

  • http://myspace.com/joelbailey joelx817

    Dude.. Steel Panther would totally win. Spinal Tap is cool… but Steel Panther probably has way more STD’s…
