Vince and Axl sit down with the spandex-wrapped vessel of hair metal, Steel Panther. They don’t get to talk for long, but they don’t need much time to make you laugh, and, for that matter, cry (especially when Lexxi Foxx farts on command). They talk about the new Steel Panther album, inspiration for their hit songs, and their talents for flatulence.

Chuck and Godless talk about the rash of performers getting caught on video completely blotto on stage and discuss whether it cheats the fans or makes for ‘special’ moments you will never see again. We also invited MS contributor Grim Kim to offer a serious discussion about women in the metal scene and metal journalism, we talk about how musicians treat young women, but also how young women metal fans are viewed in general and ways to address the stereotypes every female metal fan must confront. Changing lives one podcast at a time!
