Steel Panther

En se faisant passer de manière satirique pour un groupe de hair metal ayant manqué sa chance dans les années 80, le chanteur Ralph Saenz (Michael Starr), le batteur Darren Leader (Stix Zadinia), le bassiste Travis Haley (Lexxi Foxxx) et le guitariste Russ Parrish (Satchel) ont écumé les clubs du Sunset Strip au tournant du millénaire sous le nom de Metal Shop (plus tard rebaptisé Metal Skool, puis Steel Panther). Avec leurs perruques volumineuses, vestes en cuir, spandex à rayures zébrées, une technique acquise en jouant dans un groupe hommage à Van Halen, et une dose massive de machisme, leur parodie des excès du sexe, des drogues et du rock’n’roll a rapidement séduit le public, entraînant des concerts à guichets fermés et quelques incursions inattendues dans le grand public. À mesure que leur popularité grandissait, la scène hollywoodienne se pressait à leurs concerts, avec des apparitions fréquentes sur scène. Cela leur a ouvert des portes : le groupe a incarné le groupe de metal Danger Kitty dans une publicité pour Discover Card, a joué son propre rôle dans The Drew Carey Show, et sa chanson FF a été utilisée comme thème de l’émission Fantasy Factory sur MTV.

Satirically pretending to be a hair metal band that missed its big break in the ’80s, singer Ralph Saenz (“Michael Starr”), drummer Darren Leader (“Stix Zadinia”), bassist Travis Haley (“Lexxi Foxxx”), and guitarist Russ Parrish (“Satchel”) hit the club circuit on the Sunset Strip around the turn of the millennium under the name Metal Shop (later changed to Metal Skool and then to Steel Panther). With big, spiky wigs, leather jackets, zebra-striped spandex, chops earned from playing in a Van Halen tribute band, and lots and lots of machismo, their comic take on sex, drugs, and rock & roll to the extreme caught on quickly, leading to sold-out shows and some unexpected brushes with mainstream success. As their popularity increased, the Hollywood crowd started frequenting their sets, often making appearances on-stage. This led to some opportunities: the group fittingly played the metal band “Danger Kitty” in a Discover Card commercial; they appeared on The Drew Carey Show as themselves; and their song “FF” was used as the theme for MTV’s Fantasy Factory.

Buckcherry

Arrivé à la fin des années 90, alors que le post-grunge s’éteignait et que le nu-metal gagnait du terrain, Buckcherry a fièrement entretenu la flamme du hard rock décadent. Le groupe s’est présenté comme un retour assumé à l’âge d’or du Sunset Strip des années 80, considérant Mötley Crüe comme ses pairs plutôt que Limp Bizkit. Son premier album éponyme, paru en 1999, a produit le hit Lit Up, qui s’est hissé au sommet du palmarès Mainstream Rock, permettant au groupe de se maintenir jusqu’à ce qu’il connaisse un succès inattendu en 2006 avec son troisième album, 15. Porté par le sulfureux Crazy Bitch et la ballade Sorry (qui a atteint le Top 10), l’album a été certifié platine, un succès qui a permis au groupe de traverser les décennies malgré de nombreux changements de formation, avec toujours le chanteur Josh Todd comme pilier. Buckcherry a sorti son dixième album studio, judicieusement intitulé Vol. 10, en 2023.

Arriving in the late ’90s amidst the embers of post-grunge and the rise of nu-metal, Buckcherry proudly kept the torch of hard rock sleaze burning. The band styled themselves as deliberate throwbacks to the glory days of the ’80s Sunset Strip, acting as if their peers were Mötley Crüe instead of Limp Bizkit. Their eponymous 1999 debut generated the number one mainstream rock hit “Lit Up,” which was enough to keep the band afloat until they had an unexpected hit in 2006 with their third album, 15. Boasting the sordid rocker “Crazy Bitch” and “Sorry” (a power ballad that cracked the Top Ten), the album was certified platinum, a success that buoyed the group for decades amid numerous lineup changes, but always anchored by singer Josh Todd. Buckcherry issued their tenth studio album, the aptly named Vol. 10, in 2023.
