Has Steel Panther Jumped The Shark?

Steel Panther just released a video for their song "Gloryhole" from the album All You Can Eat. Not much offends me, but this clip is pretty over-the-top, even for Steel Panther. It's definitely not safe for work. Watch at your own peril.

Fair enough, Dougie, but there's no denying Cheap Trick know how to play their instruments. Honestly, just like Metallica, their cut off is really the first 3 albums, aside from their Multi-platinum Live Album, "At Budokan".

Though live albums are noteworthy (i.e. The Who, "Live At Leeds", Deep Purple, "Made In Japan", etc., etc.), I tend to focus on studio albums as that is the point of creation.

Before writing off Cheap Trick (who will inevitably wind up in The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, eventually), I strongly recommend you listen to "In Color" and "Heaven Tonight" albums in their entirety at least once. They just might change your mind.

Peace Out & Rock On!

I've heard those albums and more before. I've even seen em in concert (for free). I just find them really boring, they just don't get my blood boiling. I can't really stand Metallica either. I would pick them over the other 2 bands though.

Thanks Him, for the metal website info. I checked out Blabbermouth, it was OK but nothing special. I can't remember off hand which one Metal Sludge is. Isn't that the one run by the singer from Tuff (I really love their first CD) Stevie Rachelle.

I'm not the biggest Cheap Trick fan. But you can't deny the fact that they're influential. They have cool lyrics and some great songs though. I like Steel Panther a lot better but everybody has an opinion. On another not BBG and revolver are the only good metal sites. True fans. Thanks Allyson

You are the biggest troll.
Metalgirl.

Calling people trolls just cause they wont bow down to you. You are a pathetic loser. BOO HOO you crybaby "Doug doesn't agree with me, so I'm gonna call him a troll, everybody has to think like me or else they are trolls". Get over yourself you act like a little girl.

NEWSFLASH:The world doesn't revolve around you. Not everybody thinks like you. You need to grow up.

One word - AWESOME !

Would love to see a video for "10 strikes your out"

You are correct Doug. Rachelle runs Sludge. I find the humor there more than incidental, though there are long gaps in between. They also feature occasional interviews that can be engaging. That said, Rachelle's sense of humor (I rarely read anything but the "news") is an acquired taste.

Blabbermouth was--and is--funny in how merciless and unrelenting the posters are about topics big and small (mostly small). They also drive topics into the ground . . . a bid for page hits according to the conspiracy theorists who lurk about.

I check them both out when I can. But I find this site much more concise and cordial.
