On January 23rd glam gods Steel Panther performed at NAMMJam 2015 at The Grove in Anaheim, CA. They were joined during their set by guitarists Marty Friedman and Tommy Thayer (KISS). Fan-filmed video is available below:
Friedman recently released his brand new music video for "Undertow", taken from his solo album Inferno.
The video features an unsullied look at Japanese culture, says Friedman (who currently resides in Tokyo): "'Undertow' gives you a look at the Japan not usually seen by the typical Japanese exports like crazy TV shows, ultra-cute singers and anime. It shows a day in the life of Japan as the Japanese see it, not the stereotypical Western 'Japanophile' view of it."
Regarding the video's concept, Friedman explains that, "the 'Undertow' video attempts to show that when you see a thing of beauty, there is often an undercurrent of true sadness and hardship behind the scenes which creates the motivation to do something extraordinary."
