Steel Panther<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

En se faisant passer de mani\u00e8re satirique pour un groupe de hair metal ayant manqu\u00e9 sa chance dans les ann\u00e9es 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 \u00e9cum\u00e9 les clubs du Sunset Strip au tournant du mill\u00e9naire sous le nom de Metal Shop (plus tard rebaptis\u00e9 Metal Skool, puis Steel Panther). Avec leurs perruques volumineuses, vestes en cuir, spandex \u00e0 rayures z\u00e9br\u00e9es, une technique acquise en jouant dans un groupe hommage \u00e0 Van Halen, et une dose massive de machisme, leur parodie des exc\u00e8s du sexe, des drogues et du rock’n’roll a rapidement s\u00e9duit le public, entra\u00eenant des concerts \u00e0 guichets ferm\u00e9s et quelques incursions inattendues dans le grand public. \u00c0 mesure que leur popularit\u00e9 grandissait, la sc\u00e8ne hollywoodienne se pressait \u00e0 leurs concerts, avec des apparitions fr\u00e9quentes sur sc\u00e8ne. Cela leur a ouvert des portes : le groupe a incarn\u00e9 le groupe de metal Danger Kitty dans une publicit\u00e9 pour Discover Card, a jou\u00e9 son propre r\u00f4le dans The Drew Carey Show, et sa chanson FF a \u00e9t\u00e9 utilis\u00e9e comme th\u00e8me de l’\u00e9mission Fantasy Factory sur MTV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buckcherry<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arriv\u00e9 \u00e0 la fin des ann\u00e9es 90, alors que le post-grunge s’\u00e9teignait et que le nu-metal gagnait du terrain, Buckcherry a fi\u00e8rement entretenu la flamme du hard rock d\u00e9cadent. Le groupe s’est pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 comme un retour assum\u00e9 \u00e0 l’\u00e2ge d’or du Sunset Strip des ann\u00e9es 80, consid\u00e9rant M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce comme ses pairs plut\u00f4t que Limp Bizkit. Son premier album \u00e9ponyme, paru en 1999, a produit le hit Lit Up, qui s’est hiss\u00e9 au sommet du palmar\u00e8s Mainstream Rock, permettant au groupe de se maintenir jusqu’\u00e0 ce qu’il connaisse un succ\u00e8s inattendu en 2006 avec son troisi\u00e8me album, 15. Port\u00e9 par le sulfureux Crazy Bitch et la ballade Sorry (qui a atteint le Top 10), l’album a \u00e9t\u00e9 certifi\u00e9 platine, un succ\u00e8s qui a permis au groupe de traverser les d\u00e9cennies malgr\u00e9 de nombreux changements de formation, avec toujours le chanteur Josh Todd comme pilier. Buckcherry a sorti son dixi\u00e8me album studio, judicieusement intitul\u00e9 Vol. 10, en 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
