One of the biggest shows we got on the
0:01
West Coast was opening for Steel
0:04
Panther. Now this is before they became
0:07
like well before they got the record
0:08
deal and all that stuff. They were just
0:09
>> Oh, Metal School Metal School Metal
0:11
>> They were called Metal School. You're
0:12
right. So actually they were Metal
0:14
School. I saw them then. We didn't open
0:16
for them when they were Metal School. Uh
0:18
they there was another name after that
0:20
which I can't remember.
0:21
>> Wait, I'm I'm a I'm a big fan. I saw
0:23
them in Europe three times. But of
0:26
course as Steel Panther but I remember
0:28
them I I I watched the videos on YouTube
0:31
before they became Steel Panther. Metal
0:33
School and something else. Yeah, uh
0:36
Oh, it might be Metal Shop. Yeah.
0:38
>> Something yeah, maybe. Yeah, I think I
0:40
think you're right. I think it was Metal
0:41
Shop and then whatever they became Steel
0:43
Panther which is definitely a cooler
0:44
name. And we opened for they would have
0:46
they had a cool thing going on. I forget
0:48
the name of the venue in LA. Um it
0:50
became Billboard Live and it was a few
0:52
it's been a called a few things. Huge
0:54
venue. Yeah. And the the deal was uh
0:57
they would play Monday nights.
0:59
And they would have three opening acts.
1:02
And if you got there like let's say they
1:04
went on at 10:00 or 11:00 I I forget.
1:07
But if you got there at 7:00 or 8:00 you
1:09
got in for free. And then if you got you
1:12
got there at 9:00 it was X amount 10:00
1:13
it was X it whatever it led up to the
1:15
point where you're going to pay if
1:16
you're going to come in and see Steel
1:17
Panther. But if you got there early to
1:18
see the local bands you pretty much got
1:20
in for free. So we would just tell all
1:22
our friends like come early come in for
1:24
And I think uh the club and the band saw
1:26
the hustle. Uh we were the first band on
1:29
and then after that we were always
1:30
direct support for Steel Panther in LA
1:33
when they would play those gigs. And and
1:35
whenever we came to town we'd make the
