Steel Panther Live review

So last week I went to see this awesome band from LA called Steel Panther. Now, if you haven’t heard of them yet, you’re crazy because they are the best band ever!

Thanks to CMoore Evil, I got to go see and meet this wonderful band at a sold out show at Mexicali Live in Teaneck, NJ. For those of you who have already seen the photos and videos I’ve put up, you can see they are all about the 80’s hair metal, which I love. It felt like I got put in a time machine and got to go back to the decade I really belonged in! Hot guys with big hair, spandex leopard print pants, and more makeup on than me! They really showed me up in the photos. They made me truly wish I could go back in time and go to some shows with my Mom!

A lot of people think that these guys are a tribute band, and although they do spend a lot of time talking about the best bands from the 80’s, their songs are original and HILARIOUS. Their shows are a 2-in-1 deal, comedy and kick ass music. My favorite song of the night was “Fat,” a song about a fat-ass groupie that apparently got it on with the drummer, Stix.

They were also extremely interactive with the crowd. Pointing people out and either talking about how lame they were, how hot they were, or how many STD’s they were going to give them later. Personally, the singer pointed me out and gave me the horns or made other sexual suggestive motions to me during quite a few songs, which I thought was hilarious. Ted [Tad] Poley from Danger Danger also came out on stage and sang a song while wearing a shirt that said “Boobies make me smile” and then towards the end of the night, Steel Panther did a cover of Kickstart my Heart by Motley Crue.. My favorite!

Overall, when these guys get into character, they put on one hell of a show, and will keep you cracking up all night. I very highly suggest seeing them if they come to your area.. I know I will if they come back! If you haven’t checked out the videos yet, definitely go take a peek. I have “Fat” as well as their opening song, and tons of video of them bashing on each other and the crowd in-between. I would have recorded the entire show if my camera battery didn’t die!

Lamb of God & GWAR

Last night my bro and I went to a Lamb of God & GWAR show thanks to Scott Evil at WDHA! It was at the Wellmont Theatre in Montclair…which is umm far too nice of a place to hold a band that squirts fake blood everywhere..haha.

To be honest, gwar is not quite my type. I definitely don’t like the music.. and the theatrics just kinda make me laugh…or feel wrong. haha. Regardless, I did catch a couple pictures and videos that I will post soon. It was quite entertaining seeing everyone come out of the pit dyed in green and red! It was like Christmas! A very metal Xmas!

Lamb of God sounded great. Unfortunately I was only able to stay for 3 or 4 songs, but I got to hear Now You’ve Got Something To Die For which was kick ass. Their stage set up was actually very nice.. not what I would expect from a metal band.. definitely a band I would and hope I get to catch again.

I will have pictures up soon and a video of Now You’ve Got Something to Die For hopefully tonight.. but if not then for sure within the next couple of days.

Song of the Day – 09/22/09

Ballad of a Paralysed Citizen – The Faint

I’ve noticed while listening to a lot of music from The Faint lately that a lot of their songs tell stories. This song in particular struck an emotional chord in me…it may be because I just watched an episode of True Life on MTV last weekend about a 17 year old paralyzed boy…but either way this song really makes you feel the subject’s pain, and not just from the lyrics. The overall mood of the song is pulled together with a very somber, slow and cold electronic beat, which leaves you slightly depressed..but grateful for things we usually take for granted.

If you like this song, I also suggest their song: The Conducter [Thin White Duke Remix] It’s not nearly as depressing, but another very story-like song. There are a few versions, but personally I like this one the best.

Lyrics of Ballad of a Paralysed Citizen:

I’m paralysed and things could change for you as well
you’re not so bad off now, you can move anything you need.
I’m not this way because of an emergency I caused
at seventeen a guard perched above the chlorine floor
when I saw a hand raise up from just beneath the air,
a frantic move for help, I made an instant judgment call.
dive- I arced my feet to dive, I broke the elemental line
to save a child. dive- into the shallow floor
the bottom scraped my palms and compressed my spine.
now i’m paralysed while they just hope to make amends
the family and the kid who faked the drowning incident,
i’ve felt the hand of god and that’s the last thing that I felt
at all below my back, i’ve lost the faith I thought I had.

Incubus @ PNC!

Finally found some time to sit down and write about how TERRIBLE the Incubus show was…

SYKE! IT WAS FREAKIN’ KICK ASSSSSS! And all those people that told me they suck live were WAY off and certainly did not see this tour. The set list was great.. lots of their hits along with some songs off of S.C.I.E.N.C.E. which everyone claimed they never play. They also did a cover of a Prince song, with lots of funky colored lighting and great energy!
