Watch Steel Panther’s 360-degree LA show

Steel Panther

Steel Panther have streamed the 360-degree video shot during their performance at Los Angeles’ Roxy Theatre.

The 90-minute show took place earlier this week and comes before the February release of Steel Panther’s next album Lower The Bar.

Vocalist Michael Starr recently told Metal Hammer that he was continually astonished with the success of his band, saying: “That’s been my goal – I always wanted to have that happen… but I never thought it actually would!

“I never really thought past a 2000-seat theatre. I just thought, ‘This is killer! If it stays like this for the rest of my life, I’ll be happy!’”

Earlier this year guitarist Satchel argued against the band being labelled a parody act, saying: ”We might have some funny shit but what it all comes down to is, it doesn’t matter what you categorise something as, whether you say it’s heavy metal, or comedy, or fucking jazz improv comedy.

”I don’t fucking know what people want to call it. All I know is I like to write bitching songs.”

Steel Panther are currently touring North America.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
