'Beautiful Girls' -- Steel Panther Cover

Steel Panther loves Van Halen. Half the band was in a VH tribute called Atomic Punks years before Steel Panther became a thing. Now the Panther has recorded a great cover of "Beautiful Girls" as a show of respect for Eddie Van Halen.

Want one more? Here's "D.O.A." Enjoy!

Love em or hate em, these guys can flat out play. They nailed both those. Spot on. On a side note. Starr should’ve had his washing machine in the background going for a nod to Rush.... lol

Gary, heartily agree. And I appreciate what they are doing right now with their photo series on their website. Trying to help out by highlighting photographers and selling limited edition prints. Cool on them and cool for their fans too. Yes. I repeat: I am a fan. But the fact that they are finding different ways to pitch in is a plus to me (and at reasonable prices for those who decide to purchase).

Starr should definitely have had his washing machine going. But for different reasons. Doing his best James Bond voice (I am thinking Connery), he could say at the end: "I like my Botox shaken . . . not stirred." Then a sound effect like a zipper being pulled up when he smiles and flashes the devil horns.

I kid. I kid. No shame in wanting to stay young. And SP certainly make people feel young when they play their shows. Others disagree. Fine with that too. But they are great live. A comedy show and a metal clinic all in one place. I just hope they get their crude groove back on their next album. They seem to be resting on their laurels (not to mention their hardys).

Sorry, still kinda abhor these guys ... Or is it, “abwhore”, since we’re talkin’ Steel Panther ...

Though, Gary’s right (wait, as long as it’s “Funny Gary”), they sure CAN play their backless leather chaps off, a claim to which I can attest, having been forced to see them 4 times!

Cool mock album cover, though ... Sure would make a great T-Shirt!

And ya gotta hand it to Starr ... Perfect impression of Roth!
