Yes, Steel Panther Will 'Clean Up' Lyrics For 'America's Got Talent'

In a recent interview with Metal Edge magazine, Steel Panther drummer Stix Zadinia spoke about the band's appearance on America's Got Talent and their process in working through choosing a song for the next round. Apparently, they have the song narrowed down to three choices and recognize they have to modify their lyrics for network television.

The interview also revealed that producers of AGT reached out to Steel Panther about being on the show - so there was no pre-show audition. Scheduling meant the band couldn't compete the first time they were asked. When producers called again, they accepted and admitted they didn't know the show as open to professionals. (I didn't know this either).

I am not sure when round two of America's Got Talent begins, but I'm sure the Panther will tell us in advance via social media!

Steel Panther Advance On 'America's Got Talent'

With "Eyes of a Panther," Steel Panther made it through the audition round on America's Got Talent last night. This means they will go on to compete in the next round. The winner of AGT gets a one million dollar prize.

I was amused that AGT used the fake Behind The Music documentary that Steel Panther put out several years ago. I mean, it's been awhile because Jani Lane was even in it. The band members said they've been together 40 years and really played it up like they are from the Sunset Strip era. I swear some of judges (Howie Mandel) and host Terry Crews believed this, but whatever.

The audience seemed to love the way of the Panther and that can only mean great things in our quest to Bring Back Glam. Still... what in the world will the band sing next? A Van Halen cover?

Steel Panther, 'America's Got Talent' - Tonight

Yes, this is really happening: Steel Panther will compete on America's Got Talent tonight. The show premieres at 8 pm on NBC.

I don't typically watch AGT, but I will for Steel Panther. The audition clip is below - but the judges decision is cut off so you have to watch to see if they get through to the competition or not.

Steel Panther sings "Eyes of a Panther," which is probably their cleanest song. I'm not sure what they will sing if they get through and keep advancing. Not exactly a family-friendly band, but definitely entertaining and really telling they are on this major network show!

Steel Panther Launches More Summer Tour Dates

It keeps on happening. Steel Panther is a touring workhorse of a band and the guys will stay on the road this summer in America. The tour is to support the new album On The Prowl.

It's been a minute since I've seen Steel Panther live. Sadly, there are no Ohio dates for July or August. To me, Steel Panther is a quintessential summer band. This show would be a good time.

'All That And More'

Steel Panther has a new lyric video for their track "All That And More" from the new album On The Prowl. Reading comments online, it seems like folks list "All That And More" as a top track off the new release, with an authentic 80s sound. What do you think?

'Friends With Benefits'

Steel Panther released a video for their song "Friends with Benefits." It's on their upcoming album On The Prowl due later this month. The song is pretty much what you would expect from the title and the fact that it's Steel Panther. The video is a take on Shark Tank. The clip is ridiculous (of course) and offensive (obviously). I still laughed and you probably will too.

Winger Will Support Steel Panther On Tour

It is 2023 and that means Winger is marking 35 years as a band. To celebrate, Winger will hit the road with Steel Panther for the On The Prowl tour in the UK in May. Winger also updated social platforms with new art referencing the 35th anniversary and a new photoshoot too - so perhaps other things are brewing for the next few months. I hope!
