You have to listen to some Steel Panther.

Seriously, for brain out hair metal with some wailing solos you should check it out. They do nothing but high quality, fast paced metal with the most childish lyrics I have ever heard. If they wrote some songs seriously I would swear they had just stepped out of a Delorean straight out of the 80's.

Think Skid Row crossed with the Bloodhound Gang and your almost there.

If you are going to listen, DO NOT DO IT IN WORK. You may well piss your pants laughing.

Warning: If you listen to this band expecting serious music written by serious people you will be disappointed. If you are expecting music written by musically talented childish retards you will be thoroughly entertained. That is all.

Few threads on these guys and have to agree, very, very funny esp if you grew up listening to Bon Jovi, Def leppard, Posion, Motley Crue et al

'My heart belongs to you' a great ballad and impersonation of Jon Bon Jovi excellent...

"Steel Panther - Death To All But Metal" - just had a listen on youtube and noticed a cheeky old Metallica riff used at one point...but I like it...now seriously considering getting the album.

Apologies for starting another thread, didn't think to check. Listened to the whole album on spotify last night and had some genuine laugh-out-loud moments!

I saw these live last week in LA!!! They have a residency at The Key Club. I already knew about them but let me tell you; the live show was amazing. Don't let the comedy fool you (and they are, indeed, funny) - these guys are all true talents and the covers they did were tighter than the bands who originally sang them; that's how good they were. The LA 'in' crowd have latched onto them now and every show they do at Key is a sell-out. That's week in week out.

They covered Journey, Whitesnake, Iron Maiden, GnR... even Backstreet Boys (which has become an actual release available on itunes)!
