Steel Panther celebrates 15 YRS. of "Feel the Steel"

The Paramount was the perfect venue to kick off the 15-year celebration, as Huntington, Long Island, is famously known for its vibrant and electric party atmosphere. Tonight was no different; as the audience strolled in, you could clearly see and intensely feel that they were ready to let loose and rock the night away. The party truly began with "Eye of the Panther," and the band delivered everything you would expect from the renowned Steel Panther. Each member of the band was a captivating spectacle in their own right, bringing unique energy and charisma to the performance. Mike Starr made sure to point out "Banana Man" early in the set, promising him a memorable spot on stage, which he delivered during the encore performance of "Glory Hole." The band is celebrated not only for their humor but also for their infectious songs, high-energy performances, and, of course, the stunning GIRLS. Throughout various songs, a special sexy lady was playfully serenaded by the band on stage, with the standout highlight being "17 Girls in a Row." However, for me, the undeniable musical highlight was when Akira Takasaki from Loudness joined the stage to play guitar on "Running with the Devil." Holy shit, what an unforgettable opening night of this tour! Everyone better bring their stamina because this is one exhilarating, non-stop ride that you won’t want to miss.
