In a new interview with WRIF radio station, vocalist Michael Starr opened up about Steel Panther’s haters.

Here’s what Starr said:

“Well, I’m not in the business of burying hatchets with people that have resentment towards me, ’cause that’s on them, dude. Anybody you usually run into is not going to confront you and go, ‘Hey, man, I hate your band.’ They’ll just either ignore you or go, ‘Hey, what’s up, bro?’ So, whoever doesn’t like the band , everybody is entitled to their own opinion.

“Art is subjective, man. And if you don’t like our art, then go listen to somebody else. Who cares, right? So, we developed pretty thick skin. When we were walking through festivals for our first time in spandex, people were looking at us going, ‘Who is this band? Who are these guys?’

”And then we developed even thicker skin when we opened up for Judas Priest for 10 weeks in America. So, yeah, we’re okay with it and we get it and we understand it, but we still rock.”
