Their accurate portrayal of old school rock has also attracted a great deal of admiration from their peers; most notably from Slipknot's masked leader Corey Taylor and ex-Darkness lycra wearing high wailer Justin Hawkins. The two feature on Steel Panther's current album, Feel the Steel.

"In the studio, Justin and Corey are professionals and great singers and great guys. Those guys have balls, and they're not afraid to put them on the line and say 'this is what I'm down with'.

"Corey added a lot of grit to it. Justin added a lot of sweet, saucy harmony and soaring vocals. They both have contrasting styles, but they both killed it for us."

As Adam Lambert's album (3 Tracks from it - called 'For Your Entertainment' out 23rd November) is previewed, Justin's written track 'Music Again' is being highly recognised and favourited. Justin of course also plays guitar on the track.

""Music Again" - Okay, this is the song, also produced by Rob Cavallo, largely responsible for my current lack of coherence or composure. The minute this glammy tour de force forced its way out of the 19 Entertainment office's speakers, it was so white-hot I was instantly reduced to a puddle of melted spandex and runny eyeliner. A falsetto gang chorus like something off a lost Sweet outtakes album, squalling guitar riffs, pumping "Funkytown" beats...my head was pretty much exploding at this point, but I managed to hold my cranium together long enough to turn to a nearby 19 employee and jokingly state, "This sounds like the Darkness, if the Darkness were remixed." To which the employee answered, "That's funny you say that, because this song was actually written by [legendarily unitarded Darkness frontman] Justin Hawkins, and that's Justin on guitar."

Please read that above sentence again closely, people, and allow the full weight of its awesomeness to sink in. Adam Lambert + Justin Hawkins. ADAM LAMBERT + JUSTIN HAWKINS! Best. Collabo. Ever."
