You're doing some giveaways, too, correct?

Like every show that we do, we do a lot of improve. So you never know what’s going to happen, which is part of what makes a Steel Panther show fun.

There’s also going to be giveaways, like you said. We’re giving away three of our Butthole Burner foot pedals, which is awesome because those thing sell for like $200 a piece.

We’re also going to giveaway a guitar. We’re working with Monster Energy Drinks. They’re giving away a year’s supply of Monster Energy, which is awesome. I don’t know how much that is, ‘cause I drink like seven or eight of those a day. That’s a lot of Monster.

I’m sure a year's supply is at least enough to power your mansion for a while.

Yeah, my mansion actually runs on Monster Energy. And thankfully, I feed all my dogs and cats Monster Energy Drink as well. That’s why they’re so healthy.

We’re giving away a lot of stuff — a lot of Steel Panther merch as well. We have some special guests coming down.

I heard through the grapevine that Rudy Sarzo (Ozzy Osbourne, Quiet Riot, Whitesnake, The Guess Who) might come down and jam, not just a song, but one of the songs that he played on. He played on one of our records — a lot of people don’t know that — he played on one of the songs on our Lower the Bar record and he’s going to come down and play it with us, I think.

It’s going to be fun, it’s going to be a killer show. We might have some other people come down and jam with us, as well, which will be super cool.

How long is the set going to be?

Gonna be like seven or eight hours. No, maybe an hour and a half. If could be longer because I, as you know, have a tendency to ramble. It could go an hour and 45 minutes.

You mentioned guitar pedals, the Pussy Melter pedal caused some controversy. I talked to Lexxi and Stixx back in October a bit about it. Do you guys enjoy the controversy? Does it bother you at all?

How do I put this politically correct? I don’t give a f—k. I don’t care how offended other people get at things people I say or I do because that’s part of the beauty of living in the United States of America.

I do find it ironic that some people were offended at the Pussy Melter foot pedal. If you take a little bit of time to look at the controversy, most of the people who were offended by the Pussy Melter, most of those people don’t know what the f—k we do, because if they did, they wouldn’t have found that pedal name at all controversial. Because we have song titles like “Asian Hooker” and “The Shocker.” We sing about all kinds of subject matter that seems more offensive than the Pussy Melter.

I’m not surprise that people got offended, because that’s the age that we live it. I’m quite happy about it because we now sell the pedals that we do and we make money on it, so it’s awesome.

Just like I can say anything that I want, people have the right to be offended by whatever they want.

...If there’s one thing that Steel Panther has always carried the torch for is free speech. Listen to any one of our albums.
