Steel Panther at Download Festival 9/6/12

Love them or hate them, Steel Panther were definitely one of the most amusing acts at Download Festival 2012. The mixture of parody and glam metal made them amusing to watch, but not only that, they’re also actually really good musicians. Michael Starr knew exactly how to make the crowd laugh and sing along with him and he also encouraged a lot of female nudity, probably setting a record for the amount of women to flash during a set… ever. They played old classics such as ‘Asian Hooker’ and ‘Community Property’, and also songs from their latest album ‘Balls Out’ such as the subtlety named ‘Just Like Tiger Woods’ and ‘Tomorrow Night’. Partway through their set, they introduced Corey Taylor onto the stage, who featured in three songs from Steel Panther’s 2009 album ‘Feel The Steel’. It was an unforgettable set, and I’d highly recommend anyone looking for a hilarious live band to see Steel Panther, you won’t regret it!
