"If I was born in 1453, Leonardo da Vinci would be jealous of me": One of the greatest lines I've heard in years...
Quality
Micheal Starr is a nice dude. I met him. He was walking into the venue in Fargo. I said, "can I get a picture?" ...he says, "hold on, I'll be back in 30 seconds I have to grab my vape." Sure as shit, 30 seconds later he cones out...no vape. We do a picture of uq both throwing up the shocker. In front of the Fargo police station. It was poetic. Also, back the BLUE!
Its great!!
But maybe something like, “if I was born in 1514, then Michelangelo would be sculpting me!!”
Just cus of the sculpture of david being an “ideal male form”.
Death to all butt-metal.
My fav is "I'm just a Maserati in a world full of Kia's."
I was about to say I love that lyric. I guess I'm not surprised someone already said it, and that it's the top comment. lol
"so many people without talent"
*Stix points a drumstick at us*
Damn. I just realized it. We've been played haha...
@@maxxb.4216 they played us like a damn contra bass!
omg i never pieced that together lol
This song gives me confidence in my body😂😂
I think he was pointing at Satchel
“How others see you isn’t important, how you see yourself means everything “
Over the last few months I've had to work on self worth. My therapist noticed immediately that I didn't have any. Now this song is my anthem. I listen to it a lot and take it to heart.
the fact he gets up at 11:30 already makes him superior to me.
No shit, I struggle to get up at the crack of noon.
Lol
I get up at 6AM but i start to function semi normaly only at 12
I get up in the afternoon, cuz I don't have a stupid job
@@buttslappingpirate Does Noon mind?...
I don't give a shit that these blokes are taking the piss, their songs are fucking great and miles better than the vast majority of the shit that I hear in my car everyday.
Yeah, I'm 44 and remember this type of stuff the first time round....this pastiche is still better than the shit that gets peddled as "music" nowadays........
Panther rock!!!
I'm 21 and I agree 100%
Music today sucks ass.
most definetly
I'm 20 and I completely disagree. You're looking at the past through rose-tinted glasses and fail to realize that there's always been shitty popular music, and there's always been good popular music. As if there weren't terrible child pop stars and shallow sex symbols 30 years ago? You try to sound like you have superior taste and know what "real music is all about", but you just come across as ignorant and far too dismissive of modern music simply because you're either (1) old and set in your ways, or (2) young and trying too hard to differentiate yourself from your peers.
Dan B 21 year old speaking here. And yes, there was crap years ago too, but I don't think it was ever as bad as it is now. I think there was enough good to counteract the bad 30 years ago, but there's so much shit clogging the system now it's hard for anyone good to get any publicity nowadays. I don't try to differentiate myself, it's just my taste :)
Emma Powell I agree 100% mainstream is horrible you have to go through so much crap to get something decent.
In a world of pop and rap, we need more bands that rock like you Steel Panther.
There are check out CRASHDIET, BLOODY HEELS, WICKED, CRAZY LIXX, RECKLESS(from Italy), SUICIDE BOMBERS, WILDNESS, DEVILSTRAIN, HARDCORE SUPERSTAR, WILDSTREET, FIGHTER V, SANTA CRUZ, TOXICROSE, EXXOCET.
@@bidenwearstrumpscrappypamp1829 Don't forget Chez Kane.
@@bidenwearstrumpscrappypamp1829 Reckless love from finland, Santa Cruz and H. E. A. T., Long live Glam
@@bidenwearstrumpscrappypamp1829 Sweden - Confess!!!
Thank god there's still people that keep this type of music alive..rock on brothers
There are alot more but are mostly from other countries like Sweden.
Reckless Love 👍
Theres no reason this shouldnt be a mega radio hit, theres no swearing, no innuendos, quite unlike steel panther, but still awesome
Possibly next song on Americas got talent
Quite often hear it on planet rock
This song is an instant confidence and self-esteem boost, and it's still has the funniness to it too. Steel Panther is amazing. Definitely my favorite band, above all I listen to.
bless bro we are all worth unthinkable amounts of power but the establishment wants us to believe the opposite, we as humans are precious
@@ProfessorSlump you somehow made a comment about society having power on a song about a guy that thinks he's the only good looking person in the world
it's funny because it's incredibly self absorbed in the third person but a confidence booster when we look at it in the first person, and you're right they're amazing and even more amazing when you see them live
You need to get out more.
Man oh man, I’m often struggling. This is my song to make me feel better, it makes me so damn happy! I’m a burnt out metal head, can’t drink anymore, no more parties, just a lot of good memories and a lot of bad ones too.
Had Steel Panther not saved the fucking world; we wouldnt have had the opportunity to see this video!
for me this is actually a bit of a "feel good" song.
I love it! I always listen to it when I feel like crap about myself and think of things that are good about me.
+AwesomeShelbiNicole Yes!
Old comment, but in a way, I think the video is supposed to reflect that.
honestly, i relate to this song so much. its practically my life story. no one understands how hard it is to be perfect 😢😢
😂 . I now know how Mr Perfect must have felt like during his WWF tenure
Yooo whats up, can Perfection come up in yo crib? Yo dont hate cus im perfect 😂😂
It's a burden being a Maserati in a world of Kias
"If I was born in 1453, Leonardo da Vinci would be jealous of me!"
I've been a *Steel Panther* fan for quite a while, but when they nail a line that strikes right to the heart of my personal experience, they _nail it._
Now, if you'll excuse me, I must go design a flying machine. In a cave. With a box of scraps.
Is that last part an Iron Man reference?
(Damn nobody in 8 years thought to ask?😂)
@@atomicpunk2360 Yes. Yes it was. Such is the magic of the Internet!
I’m just glad there’s a song out there to describe how perfect I am.
FINALLY! A song written about me!
Steel Panther rules love this song
"If i was born in 1453, Leonardo da Vinci would be jealous of me."
Probably the best line ever.
This band is responsible for me growing epic hair.
and me pubic hair
Woke up from listening to S.P, all night and I have chest hair. I feel majestic like a lion!
exactly
I would love to see hair metal bands come back to becoming popular again. I'm also going back to collecting vinyl record albums.
So much more expensive now though
+Beth Bowen vinyl sounds better then CDs and digital media. The sound of vinyl actually make you feel that the band is actually playing in your home. Vinyl is brings out the true sound. Vinyl is expensive but it's worth it.
+sonny12681 I actually meant more expensive than it used to be, not than other mediums.
Beth Bowen
Only buy vinyl if you are serious about listening to music. Vinyl is only for those who want the best quality of sound.
+sonny12681 you should alsof buy/make a tube amp for your record player
Saw them open for Priest in Las Vegas last month and they were terrific. True entertainers and total pros. These guys know what they're doing and they were way better than Judas Priest. Priest should be opening for Panther.
I don't agree completely with you...I saw them open for Judas Priest back in November..and it just got unbearable...Michael constantly stopping a song to say "SHOW ME YOUR TITS" "You're gonna grow up and be my groupie" got a little unprofessional imo.. they spent more time on what I would say a comedy bit...than actually playing music..it got to the point people were throwing drinks on them.. and they played 3 more songs, then got off stage...they weren't bad by any means..I don't mind the music, there's a few songs I really enjoy listening to from time to time...but doing that all the time...not professional imo.
That's what they do. It IS a comedy bit.
so because they would rather stand around and make jokes at each other...they should have judas priest open for them? I went to a concert..not dinner and a comedy bit..lol..I expected decent/ good music, then an amazing show from Judas Priest, instead I got lame jokes, a few songs, then an amazing show..lol
No, because they have more heart than Judas priest does. Priest sucks now. They aren't even a band anymore. They're out there faking it every night. Panther isn't. They may be a comedy act but they're not claiming to be anything else. If you thought Priest was amazing, you've never been to an amazing show and certainly have never seen Priest in their prime. Rob Halford using Autotune? Unacceptable.
How do they have more heart? Judas Priest has been making music probably longer than Steel Panther members have been alive..lol. and they're still going! Tell me that isn't heart... and Judas Priest doesn't "claim" to be anything.. And I'm 21.. of course I never saw Judas Priest 30+ years ago.. I saw Iron Maiden back in 2012 and that was better than Judas Priest IMO..but they were both fantastic shows! He didn't use auto tune...sorry to say..lol..he sang differently than the albums sounded..not by much..but he did..so it wasn't auto tuned.
Finally, a song that speaks to my soul.
this is the first song of theirs I've ever heard and I'm already sold
Welcome to the fam, Bro-ham! Crack open a cold one and let the power of the Panther penetrate you! Stay frosty.
This song and video is a freaking masterpiece! I can't stop watching it.
"The haters hate perfection, can't you see"
"The Burden Of Being Wonderful"
Why in a world of ugly faces
Should I be allowed to be so hot?
So many people without talent
Yet I was born with all the magical gifts I've got.
The perfect body, the perfect face
It's like God's best work all in one place
But the haters hate perfection.
Can't you see?
It's a burden being wonderful like me.
How in a world that's so imperfect
Did I wind up with so much cool?
Friends never stick around too long,
Never feel like they belong.
Next to me they feel like a fool.
I got the grace of a dancer, a golden voice
People seem to hate me like I had a choice
Being this blessed is a lonely way to be.
It's a burden being wonderful like me.
Like me.
So you say you wanna hang around
Don't ever ask me to dumb it down
I'm a diamond, I'm gonna shine
Compared to everyone else
I'm like a whole damn diamond mine.
Oh, yeah...
I'm just a Maserati in a world of Kias
Genius would describe any of my ideas
If I was born in 1453
Leonardo Da Vinci would be jealous of me
But a world of Stevie Wonders will never see.
It's a burden being wonderful like me.
As a vase who grew up in the 80's, I have to say that the sound of Steel Panther is absolutely fantastic. It's both nostalgic, and whimsical. The quality is absolutely top-notch as well. Truly grade A work.
This should have 40M views. All parody aside, this is a killer band.
This song was written for me.
Robert Baratheon Actually for your younger brother Stannis.
Fuck Stannis.
Robert Baratheon yea fuck that guy
+Robert Baratheon why u Think that
fucking stannis
"I'm a Mazarati in a world of Kia's."
PRICELESS.
What an excellent line!
SP kicks ass, and that girl at the end of the video: SWEET JESUS!
they fix my mood whenever i am sad
It immediately makes my depression go away! I’m a goddamn Mazarati in a world full of Kias!!
Every friggin song by these guys is hilarious and good to listen to at the same time. How the hell is it possible? Usually it's either one or the other, not both.
I chose to believe its about self confidence.
The chord change and melody when he says "Would be jealous of me" hits hard - like the best Def Leppard moment.
Happy Birthday, Lexxi Foxx! Steel Panther's #1 lead bassist!
+I Fought Piranhas Steel Panther's only bassist. lol
+ML L That's the joke, haha! ;)
+TcSunde33 Actually Satchel plays the bass in the records.
Satchel doesn't really play bass on the records. Its the on going joke . in metal
Brokk Dagaz Well, when Lexxi joined the band he couldn't play, so he learned afterwords. So it's possible it's true, because he can't read music either.
Graspop 2024 You Rocks🤩
Great song. Great band. With Steel Panther, I feel like their lyrical content makes it hard for a lot of people to actually appreciate their musicianship, but every single one of those guys are incredibly talented. They always talk about how their goal is to bring the golden era of heavy metal back, and regardless of whether someone listens to their music out of disbelief or pure admiration, they are still exposing themselves to great rock 'n' roll music (in my humble opinion). I think they deserve more recognition, but at the end of the day it really doesn't matter; they're giving us a chance to either relive those glory days, or continuously imagine how awesome they must have been.
Wow, you expressed my thoughts almost verbatim. I couldn't agree more. This is a GREAT fucking band with amazing songs, great melodies/vocals, great guitar riffs (Satchel is a flawless player), and an awesome overall band that can really play anything perfect. I realize the naysayers are quick to jump on them for their silliness and the whole shtick involved, but after a decade or 2 of D-tuned, "my life sucks because my uncle raped me" whining, I welcome this whole-heartedly. I love everything they've done and will continue to support them all the way!! Great post Nathan...well said.
Mike Mathieu Thanks Mike, I really appreciate it and I completely agree with you. This is feel-good rock 'n' roll music ya know? It is hard not to be in a good mood when listening to Steel Panther, and I think that's awesome. The ability to create genuine "feel-good" music is something that may be somewhat of a lost art in bands nowadays, but Steel Panther delivers this with ease and I think that says a lot about the band and their music.
Couldn't have put it better myself ;) Rock on!
who knew they still made good music
These guys are better than a lot of the actual bands that were around from that era.
True story
I used to watch these guys at a bar with no crowd. And they always had this act. I get so fun drunk and when the band was done they hung and keep the act too. While staring at them i realize its real. These guys love what they do and they live it.
These guys are the best. Talent, looks and humor. The world needs more of this type of music and skill.
There is a bit of Steel Panther in all of us. 🤘
I love how the advertisement works even though the video doesn't, awesome.
Lets keep 1987 ALIVE
The transition when the main dude walks in the music theater from the backstage on to the stage makes me feel that the morale of this MV is that as cool as they are on show deep down they all normal dudes as well.
To deep..
You gotta love the "Lexxi hair flip".
I love that part when he says ''The haterz hate perfection CANT YOU SEE'' which is so true . My respect goes to steel panther \m/
Panthers best song!
Please keep reel music alive 😢
wouldn't it be better if he sang:
"If I was born in 1453
Leonardo Da Vinci would have painted me"
No
I'm just a Maserati in a world of Kias
Genius wouldn't describe any of my ideas
If I was born in 1453 Leonardo da Vinci would be jelous of me
But a world of Stevie Wonders would never see
It's a burden being wonderful like me. Unbeatable lyrics there! How do they come up with it. Genius
Maybe these are the most true and real song lyrics ever recorded!
Best band in the World. Period.
when i grow up i want to be fabulous like them
Grow your hair then and don't forget hair spray
I do too lol
I love the “a world of Stevie Wonders will never see”line.
Somehow found this video, then I fell in love with it. The God of RUclips is caring and loving
The spirit of 90's 80's rock lives on through this band...🤘🤘🤘
Lexxi playing that stand up bass is awesome!
Steel Panther the best band hard rock actually
oh Jesus that girl in the end of the video is just perfect!!!
You mean Lexxi?
:-D
The face was a nightmare.
I love to listen to this when I'm drunk. That's it. No explanation.
Every time I feel down, I remember this song and instantly regain the love I have for myself. Rock music has healed me more than religion ever could. Whoever thought rock was the devil's work, was actually a jealous Christian who wished gospel was as enjoyable yet powerful like rock music. #DEATHTOALLBUTMETAL
Thats wonderful
Yeah and didn't have all those pesky rules...
Haha true words spoken
Rock was heavily influenced by Gospel music. Sorry to burst your bubble.
preach it brother!
That this song manages to both make fun and pay homage to fans it's really, really good work.
me at my 40, and already feeling old. I hung my Ibanez RG and never touch it since years (in my small community, I am the shredder). All i have to prevent finger rust is an Epiphone acoustic guitar. But these dudes are waaayy older than me and they're still rock!
Hey Satchel! You've ignite my inner demon and i think i need to reunited with my old Ibanez RG once again. Thanx dude!
This song makes me happy.
this is just awesome
Every time Satchel wears that headband I think it looks like he's wearing a sleep mask above his eyes.
Yeah, we all do. :-)
its just to disguise the wig. same for lexxi and stixx
Sergio Merenda Are they wigs?
Chris Evans yuuuuuup. Michael is the only one who actually has long hair
Satchel dosnt wear a wig anymore
All hail Steel Panther!
Probably the one "safe" song these guys have and I absolutely love the message behind it.
Paul Gilbert's The Echo Song meets Def Leppard's Hysteria.
F'n excellent guys! Great job, as usual.
man neon yellow superstrats are so beautiful
A Maserati in a world of Kia's spoke to me.
I'm just a Maserati in a world of Kias...
Genius would describe any of my ideas...
If I was born in 1453...
+A. Yıldız Leonardo DaVinci would be jealous of me...
.
+Zank Frappacino But the world of Stevie Wonder, they'll never see...
no matter How shitty I feel, this song picks me up.......how can you NOT get motivated from this.
For me, this is urs “livin’ on a prayer”. Great song. Great clip.
His voice❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🤤
I love this song....Its all about self confidence!
Hell yea the best band ever!
cant believe i JUST found this video :O love it ;)
Today si a good day to wear My steel panther t-shirt
Man .... thats everday
This song got me really happy damn i was crying and this helped me a lot :)
Chin up mate.
1:58 Ahead of its time, even if only by a couple of years.
This song makes me happy to be alive thank you Steel Panther You Rock!!!
I would really like to see Steel Panther also performing serious songs. They perform Don't cry (Guns) perfectly! Good lyrics combined with their musical skills would be a great combination.
Not long ago I dreamed that the guys in Steel Panther took me out to dinner. They disappointed me by NOT making a huge mess of any kind.
This is my favorite GnR song ❤❤❤
Steel Panther is my strength against the Predator
This song encouraged me to become gorgeous, and you know what? I've never looked back. Just in the mirror.
These guys are the American version of "The Darkness" from England, only they don't take themselves seriously like the Darkness did, which makes the Darkness more ridiculous, and SP hilariously cool..
***** Watch their videos and you'll see what i mean.. Just because their songs had no profanely ridiculous lyrics in them , doesn't mean they didn't look ridiculous.. The lead vocalist for the Darkness tried desperately to sound like Freddy Mercury, and failed miserably at it, and the rest of the band tried to look like Queen did in the early days.. If that's not ridiculous unto itself then your comment is the one that's mind boggling.. I mean, who goes around looking some glam band from the 70's, wearing spandex and takes themselves seriously ?. Lead vocalist even stated that in an interview i read somewhere that they were enjoying their ride of success and having a brilliant time.. That's why i said SP is funny and cool because i grew up with bands like that, so i when i see a farce band like SP poking fun at themselves it makes me roll with laughter, and the fact that they're actually great musicians, unlike the Darkness.. Hope this clears things up for you..
I thought the same thing!! It's the absolutely in your face retro look and sound both bands put forth in spite of the current sound/look.
Mike Mathieu Yes ! and that's what i've been saying about both bands..
The Darkness are one of the most humble bands I know! They try to make good music like SP, but they're actually great supporters of each other. If you would go to a live show, you would understand.
SP would be huge if it wasn't for their lyrics, they make some awesome music (much better than the mainstream top40 crap) but they aren't going to be changing their lyrics anytime soon, I guess it's just fun for those guys
Steel Panther is a band of crazy people. The craziest ones are the most entertaining.
hey dude steel panther is the shit
man this is my anthem
I love this track more now as part of the album than when it came out.The whole album is fantastic.If only the original bands of the era were bringing out such strong material.
If they get popular, these guys could be the new Aerosmith.
Are you taking the piss? Please don't insult Aerosmith, their music is awesome, this band are nothing but sexist, vile, egotistacle idiots!
Pardon me. Maybe the new Def Leppard is more fitting.
hellen powis Y'know they're making fun of egotistacle 80's bands, right?
hellen powis What if I told you Aerosmith is sexist too?
TheGooseinator I did think this, and Fat girl sounds like Def Leppard.
and I do know that they are a parody act
Playing this song on repeat Monday mornings sets me up mentally to fly over the week like a F-35.
A Burden I carry wherever i go
Let's get that sub count up, everybody!
ON IT!
👍
just subbed. dunno why it took this long! thanks for the reminder!
I'm already subscribed, I can't subscribe any further!
this is probably my favorite Steel Panther song, I love that's its different from every other song in the album and I love the message and what it stands for, its silly but with a lot of heart
steel panther crushes all!
I think this one it's their best songs because it manages to balance the funny with being genuinely earnest.
These guys rock and thanks to them we can still listen to awesome, new heavy metal. Thanks Steel Panther and keep on rocking!!
