Not to be out-licked, Steel Panther’s
Satchel gets cozy with his custom
Kramer Pacer, which he says isn’t
a rip-off of George Lynch’s guitar,
but was actually inspired by a tiger
that attacked him on a safari back
in the ’80s. He says he used a Swiss
Army knife to fight it off and kill it.
Satchel and Steel Panther are known
for their hilarious comedic shtick
while backing it up with rock-solid
’80s-style shred rock.
