Thats their fifth studio album 'Heavy Metal Rules', full of kickass riffage/solos,so...so

Michael Starr / Lead vocals, acoustic guitar Satchel / Guitars, acoustic guitar, backing vocals Lexxi Foxx / Bass, backing vocals Stix Zadinia / drums, keyboards, piano, backing vocals

Music's Indusry system born idols and characters for big publicity, like Lana Del Ray, or Billie Eilish cause this is the only way to feed itself with consumers audiences,cause only mainstream can feed the music business, mean that easy music that can get in to homes, from the other side ''corporare anticulture'' bornes and backed a substitute of Van Halen, namely guys in this substitute lean on slang and rude lyrics,the now famous Steel Panther,that is the (antidote) opposition to commercial-popular and as it should average social accept, or named trend,why industry picked Steel Panther from the bulk of Glam/Glitter gator outfits. The commerce still hasn't get sober from once upon a time "Rage against the Machine" band /bunch,receiving violet feedback and negative records & tickets sales, because this outfit achieve to attract millions of "anticonsumers" and ""Freeloaders" regards records sales and shows tickets, also violent fights during concerts. Since then political and ideological bands are nightmare for producers and major record labels, in conclusion ,slang style bands and rude metallers are more usefull and regards audiences less risky and hazardous, to bring on raging activists, social rebels, anticonsumers hooligans and all these loser tribes of rock. This means steel panthers can bring only dickheads, and cock-metallers who don't break glass-showcases, or burning cars, they just fight each other with their fists and get drunk.

At the intro, --The Intro and the "philosophy" of the "Zebraman" is the voice of a main character from the 1986 documentary film "Heavy Metal Parking Lot".-- Second track(02) "All I Wanna Do Is Fuck (Myself Tonight)" is potential beat, an "Up-Tempo" fast enough,the configuration is olden boogie rock'n'roll but mutant, as intro heared shouting "sexy!!" familiar screams like Lee Roth's ,huge guitars cover all sound space,story says, someone complex regards his psychological drama,which unfortunately didn't go well with chickens, as he was arrogant and most demanding-at least jerk off his self.

"Lets Get High Tonight":Has no particular beat and everything follows the rhythm section B&D, is no particular cheerful,somehow prosy, but is a teady to the beat,composition is out of glam and AOR poser,is more tough similar to early Judas Priest,dominate heavily threatened riffs.The story talks about some naughty boys, where their parents left house to travel somewhere so they benefited regards their absence, and organizing party orgy with ecstasy, alcohol,mashrooms pills and sex. “Always Gonna Be a Ho” is a small anthem with some acoustic guitar as intro a lovesick story,which later getting stronger

--somewhere there is a social or politic lyric about injustices “Fuck Everybody” ...means everybody.....“some dick going 20 miles in the fast lane”. The seventh (7)track is the anthem of album the"Heavy Metal Rules" , starts easy with piano and slow and after rises and explodes, its full of team choruses,(is not a party song)its strong and melodic enough ,wah!!!"Gene Simmons said it/Rock and roll is dead/Rock and roll is dead"!!...
