Documented collaborators

Metal Skool is the formative name in glam metal history, known for its tongue-in-cheek humor and big-hair aesthetic. Born from Metal Shop in the late 1990s, the act rebranded as Metal Skool from 2003 to 2008 before evolving into Steel Panther in 2008. Though Metal Skool’s discography was modest, with the self-released Hole Patrol (2005), the project laid the groundwork for a now-legendary live act and a sustained sense of humor within the metal world. This page traces Metal Skool’s lineage, its distinctive style, and how the persona transformed into Steel Panther, continuing to perform and entertain audiences today through official Steel Panther channels.
