Satirical glam rockers Steel Panther have drawn loads of criticism for almost each facet of their band and performances. It could not have slowed the band’s success down—as singer Michael Starr discusses beneath—however that does not imply he’ll forgive those that talked shit on them.
In an interview on WRIF, Starr mentioned (transcribed by Blabbermouth): “Effectively, I am not within the enterprise of burying hatchets with folks that have resentment in the direction of me, ‘trigger that is on them, dude. Anyone you often run into just isn’t going to confront you and go, ‘Hey, man, I hate your band.’ They’re going to simply both ignore you or go, ‘Hey, what’s up, bro?’ So, whoever would not just like the band — everyone is entitled to their very own opinion.”
Starr advised the interviewer that the hate has been constant, whether or not within the band’s early days or later of their profession after they acquired alternatives to open for bands like Judas Priest.
“Artwork is subjective, man. And when you don’t love our artwork, then go take heed to someone else. Who cares, proper? So, we developed fairly thick pores and skin. Once we have been strolling by means of festivals for our first time in spandex, folks have been taking a look at us going, ‘Who is that this band? Who’re these guys?’ After which we developed even thicker pores and skin after we opened up for Judas Priest for 10 weeks in America. So, yeah, we’re okay with it and we get it and we perceive it, however we nonetheless rock.”
Steel Panther‘s final album, On the Prowl, got here out in 2023.
