No that honour belongs to the Happy Chipmunks who sang Michael Jackson's greatest hits in 1984. But they look like pretty bad looking and bad sounding hair metal parodies (Poison?).


Hair metal threw up some great acts (GnR, Bon Jovi), some okay ones (Skid row, RATT) and some garbage ones (Warrant etc), but it was ripe for parody.

A lot more trashy bands have emerged from Idol style pop and boy bands like No Direction and Back door boys.

Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name

Meh, no different then most stuff on mainstream radio from the past 20 years.

Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

Well, they had a tour that was sponsored by Brazzers, so I guess we shouldn't be surprised.

The Darkness did this whole hair metal / retro rock thing well before these guys....and they actually had some decent tunes to go with it.

The Darkness and Steel Panther are different though, SP although very good musicians are a spoof or joke band, TD although a little light hearted took what they do very seriously.

The members of Steel Panther don't objectify women, their fake, joke characters do.

Kevin Spacey wasn't actually killing people in the movie Seven.

Chris Farley did NOT live in a van down by the river.

You don't like it. You don't see the humor in it. That's fine. I think Michael Jackson blows chunks and there's a pretty good chance he actually DID some pretty horrific things.

Some people think Ted was a funny movie and other poeple think it was vulgar. Different strokes.

Steel Panther are no different than the fake band in that Marky Mark heavy metal movie. It is an act and they are not real nor do the songs represent their actual feelings about women.

Their fans don't take them seriously, either. They're no different from Tenacious D except they actually have a band rather than being two guys objectifying women with acoustic guitars.

yeah right, what if tomorrow a new "fake" comedian appeared making racist jokes and nasty videos claiming that he's "acting" like your average Mississippi redneck...?

usually a joke is just the "funny" way to say something that you MEAN it

Steel Panther is anachronistic scum for the 21st century

I've been listening to metal for more than 18 years, I've read/seen/heard my history about metal, a drunk Chris Holmes talking nonsense while her mother watches and all

you guys don't get it, it's not a parody, the band is using the concept of parody to earn some cold dirty cash; for all intents and purposes, THEY ARE A REAL BAND which releases albums and tours the world

I'll repeat it once again: if tomorrow a comedian started uploading videos full of "black faces" being ridiculed, would you accept it as a "parody"?

show some respect for women, drug-addicts and serious metal fans, DAMMIT
