![]() ![]() Mark: What does a drummer think about when he’s drumming on stage? What do you think about? Mark: There’s something in every song! I have a few questions now from our readers, I told then I was going to be speaking to you this morning and they sent me some drummer questions and these are pretty heavy drummer questions as it goes. Mark: I think you’ve set a new personal best let’s put it that way! ![]() Stix: Well really whose maximum are we talking about because Steel Panther’s maximum, I don’t think there is a limit! It’s like the autobahn of ‘fucks’! Mark: I think you’ve exceeded your maximum? Mark: One of the things I’m interested in, and I don’t know if you guys do it, is have you had a ‘fuck count on the new record yet? And let me say ‘Fuck Everybody’ is definitely going to get a spot at some point. Mark: As well as those you mentioned I have to say ‘Fuck Everybody’ I loved and I loved ‘Sneaky Little Bitch’ too – both great songs too, it’s hard to choose like you say! I would end up loving to include ‘I’m Not Your Bitch’ in the set and we’re talking about maybe ‘I Ain’t Buying What You’re Selling’ ‘cos it’s like really different for us but I gotta tell ya it’s a fucking hard, hard thing to do – when you have five albums out where’s the balance? How much new shit do you do? Then people wanna hear their favourites and you can’t please everybody so you gotta make decisions, it’s like having a fucking Aussie Rules Football Team – who do you start? Who do you put on the bench? And we will probably include at least one of those, but maybe both of them. So what we’re going to do is play the songs as we release them and so far we have two songs that are out – “All I Wanna Do Is Fuck (Myself Tonight)” and “Always Gonna be a Ho” so for shows coming up we’re gonna include those two songs and then we have plans to release two more songs before the record comes out. Stix: Great, so I just texted my buddy Scott who plays drums for Alter Bridge and I said “hey dude how many new songs do you guys put in the set”, fans don’t really ask about that shit so I thought “why don’t I ask one of my friends – they do this”. There’s some great songs on the album, but for me there’s a few that really stand out that I’m absolutely dying to know if you’re going to be playing live. Mark: It is, and it’s certainly how we all feel when we see The Panther, definitely. And I feel that ‘Zebraman’ the guy from that film, he just nailed it and he said it so authentically we thought “This guy’s speaking for us”, it’s awesome! Stix: It’s funny you know because I remember seeing ‘Heavy Metal Parking Lot’ when it came out, we were passing it around on VHS in those days, and that ‘Heavy Metal Rules’ is a mantra we’ve been saying since we’ve been playing. Mark: It’s such a great intro I’m surprised no one has thought of using it before? Mark: It’s great and it starts out with, I don’t know whether you’d call it a quote or a rant from the classic ‘Heavy Metal Parking Lot’. Stix: Oh thanks, sorry I got excited there when you said ‘Heavy Metal Rules’ I’m so excited you enjoyed it, I’m very proud of it. Mark: I’m very good thank and thank you for a wonderful album ’Heavy Metal Rules’ something we all of course know to be true! Mark: Stix Mark from The Rockpit in Australia, how the hell are you? What will they be playing? Is their a ‘Fuck’ count for the record? And which drummers stay in the balloon sailing to certain disaster? Plus we ponder the traveling arrangements of the one and only Sting! It’s all here! Brace yourselves as we ask a series of heavy-hitting drummer questions and get to know intimately the fine morsels The Panther have to offer us this time around. The man with the sticks in hand, Stix Zadinia checks in with The Rockpit to talk all about Steel Panther’s most delectable album so far ‘Heavy Metal Rules’ which hits the streets on 27th September.
