Steel Panther recently brought their Feel the Steel 15th Anniversary Tour to the historic Diamond Ballroom in Oklahoma City, and let me tell you—Wednesday night has never rocked harder! With Moon Fever along for the ride, the evening was a full-throttle, headbanging party from start to finish.
Kicking off the festivities, Seattle’s own Moon Fever wasted no time cranking the energy up to an 11. This four-piece hard rock powerhouse took the stage with an electrifying presence that made it impossible to stand still. Even more impressive? Their bass player had apparently been “puking his guts up all day,” yet you never would’ve guessed it from their tight, high-energy performance. Frontman Triston Bracht went full rockstar, jumping off the stage multiple times to mix it up with the crowd. At one point, he even snagged a beer from a fan, downed the rest of it, and—being the gentleman he is—promptly replaced it with a fresh one. The crowd ate it up, and Moon Fever proved to be the perfect warm-up act for the madness that was about to unfold.
Then came the main event: Steel Panther. If you love face-melting guitar solos, big hair, and jokes that would make your grandma blush, this band is a must-see. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve seen them, but every single time, I find myself with a perma-smile plastered across my face. These guys are not just hilarious—they are insanely talented musicians. Satchel, their shred-master extraordinaire, broke into his solo with a mind-blowing take on Eruption, but with a twist—he double-picked the tapping parts, adding even more flair. As if that weren’t enough, he then hopped behind the drum kit, keeping a steady beat on the kick drum while busting out epic renditions of Iron Man, Sweet Child o’ Mine, and even a metal-infused version of Do-Re-Mi that had the whole room on the verge of explosion.
The energy never let up, the crowd was fully locked in, and by the end of the night, it was clear that Steel Panther had once again delivered a masterclass in rock ‘n’ roll mayhem. For those who missed it, I have only one thing to say: don’t make that mistake again.
Steel Panther, you glorious, ridiculous, ridiculously talented legends—thank you for another unforgettable night!
