The Boys in Steel Panther have done it again. This time letting us fans come first, which I’ve heard has to be very quick because the band has been known to cum very fast.

Playing at the famous Viper Room in LA. Steel Panther rocked it like only they can do. Satchel took away the permed hair this time saying that too many people were making fun of him for it.

Opening up with Eyes of a Panther, Steel Panther was ready to kick some ass. In between songs the band always does their world famous chit chat which has become so epic that even us photographers now have a time limit instead of the usual 3 songs you’re out. Also in between songs they played some video submissions of fans showing the love to Steel Panther. One video also showed some fans collections which was insanely huge.

During this livestream Steel Panther broke the internet and the feed went out, on the chat page it was said that the feed got covid. Steel Panther played a good variety of songs like Tiger Woods, Poontang Boomerang, Asian Hooker. The band also played a snippet of Final Countdown which sounded like Ozzy Osbourne doing a cover of it. Lexi also attempted to sing REM’s End of the World. Ending with Death to all but Metal and Gloryhole, just made me really miss live shows and miss seeing Steel Panther live. I just hope that when we get to see them again that they still let us “come” first.

On April 23^rd Korn premiered its larger than life Stream to the world. Starting off with some Q&A and Behind the scenes on making this stream. 

Korn said that they are pulling out some deep cuts and songs they haven’t played in a long time, I’m anxious to hear what’s on the list. 

Playing at the Stranger Things Drive in experience in LA. The stage was massive with lights all over and digital screens. Opening up with “Victimized” this was a killer way to start up the stream and just let you know that you’re in for a hell of a ride. 

Korn pulled out a little from almost all of the 13 albums they have released. Songs like “Insane”, “Black is the soul” and “Alone I Break”. My favorites of the night had to be “Dirty” and “Ball Tongue”. Korn didn’t play anything of of Life is Peachy album which I was a little sad about. 

Overall the Stream was amazing the sights were awesome, I really loved the drones that flew by and showed you LA at night. The sound was killer just like being there in person. If you’re a fan of Korn this is an essential stream to watch at it showcases why Korn has been relevant for 25+ years. Go on KornLive.com and check it out.

On April 9^th 2021 Phil Anselmo And the Illegals had a Livestream Event which showcased the 5 Classic Albums of Pantera. 

Starting off the livestream was a very odd and eerie livefeed of some very big pigs and chickens eating by a barn with the event poster on the it. After that went on for a while we got some old footage of the Illegals playing shows and doing a behind the scenes kind of documentary. 

King Parrot came on and if you haven’t heard of these guys from Australia, you might either be lucky or missing out. The thrashcore band vocalist has a very unique sound being very brutal but yet very high pitched. Bass player Wayne “Slatts” Slattery is hysterical to watch with all his many faces and antics. This was a great way to open up the show with balls to your face metal. My best way to explain King Parrot is like being Drunk and walking into a Sharknado. 

Phil and the Illegals came out. The sound was out in the beginning of the set opening up with Suicide Note Part 1. Phil then dedicated the set to his fallen brothers Vinnie Paul and Dimebag Darrell. 

While doing A New Level Phil had the band restart the song the bass and guitars were too loud in his earpiece, showing you that this was live event. Speaking of Live events this happens to take place in New Orleans and there were 50 lucky fans that got to see the show in person, which made it much real for the band can feed off the energy of the crowd and the crowd can sing along as well. 

During the break they showed some old photos of Vinnie and Dime which was nice and sad at the same time. When they came back Phil mentioned that the sound was off so they re did Suicide Notes again. 

My favorite part of the event was when Phil took a kid out of the crowd Roman ( who I believe might have been autistic) to help him sing Walk. Roman knew every word Phil was singing and helped him sing the chorus. You could just see the pure joy in Romans face, it was a truly touching moment.

I myself have always been a Pantera fan I love that it now spreads over 3 generation of fans. I was lucky enough to see them live many times. I can admit that there were times in Pantera’s history that I didn’t see Phil in a very good light but within the last few years I’ve seen that he has grown as a human and is someone to look up to and is fun to be around. 

I can’t wait for live shows to come back so I can go and see Phil and the Illegals play. I’ve seen many bands that Phil has been in but haven’t seen the Illegals yet. This was such a great livestream to watch not only for fans of Pantera but just fans of rock and metal. The Illegals have a killer band and guitarist Mike DeLeon is a madman on guitar and he had some big boots to fill doing these songs and I believe he did Dimebag justice.
