STEEL PANTHER played its second virtual concert event, "Rockdown In The Lockdown", on August 16 from the ultra-sanitized, production-filled, multi-camera Drum Channel Studio at Drum Workshop, located in Oxnard, California. Prince was 57 when he died of an accidental fentanyl overdose on April 21, 2016. And we were just standing there… It was some serious assholery going on." He goes, 'Here's a hundred bucks.' And he gives our bass player another hundred bucks. Stix added: "At the end of the show, we came up to his manager and his entourage, and we go, 'Dude, what is the deal?' And the manager flips our guitar player. And he takes his little tiny Prince foot and he the neck." And after the song, he takes the bass and he sets it diagonally on the floor and the drum riser, so it's just at an angle. And my guitar player is, like, 'What the fuck?' Then he switches and he plays bass. But he plays the guitar, and then at the end, he holds the guitar up over his head and he drops it behind him onto the ground. We get kicked out of our own dressing room. Because he doesn't wanna bring gear, and I understand it. "We were the house band - just kind of a no-name house band at the time. You keep the bar.' And the club goes, 'Okay. I'm gonna charge at the door and keep the door. I'm gonna come play your club after hours. After his shows, he would find a club in a nearby city and he would go in. And Prince played at the 'Shark Tank,' which is the San Jose hockey arena. We were doing disco covers many years ago up in San Francisco.

The drums were really behind the beat, it was great. You had guys like Matt Cameron, real beasts on drums. “I don’t subscribe to the flannel and shoegazing, but some of the songs back there are really great. Yes, it replaced heavy metal as the biggest genre of music but something was going to and it just happened to be grunge. Dude, if you write off grunge you are a fool because there’s a lot of great songs in there. “I love the way that he plays and the way that record sounds. It’s like they went, ‘Well, that’s what we did and we’re keeping it.’ That is seriously cool.ĭude, if you write off grunge you are a fool because there’s a lot of great songs in there. There are these moments of rushed fills and it is great. I think they play and he is just doing what he’s doing. “He’s not playing to a click, I don’t think.
You can hear a lot of imperfections on that record in the coolest way. For me, Straight Through The Heart is the definitive song on that album in terms of feel, fills and tastiness.” Prev of 11 Next Prev of 11 Next It’s like they got a vibe sucker and put it on maximum. You get that with a lot of new bands who get perfect takes with no vibe. “When you have a bunch of edits you don’t get that because you’re getting every little part perfect. That was what was so special about that kind of recording. Songs have a beginning, middle and end and if you play them live in the studio as one piece then they breathe. “You can hear that in the performances on that album. That’s when you used to have to be able to play the song from the beginning to end.
