For us old farts who remember Steeler from "back in the day"...
"... This triumphant reunion puts a powerful exclamation point on that legacy with the band's first new song in over 40 years, and their first-ever official music video.
This brand new (2024) song and video prove that four decades have done nothing to diminish the power and the passion upon which the band was built. "Give Me Guitars (Or Give Me Death)" celebrates the glory of an era that may be gone but certainly not forgotten, combining all the elements that made 80's metal the soundtrack of so many lives: an anthemic chorus, screaming lyrics that pay tribute to songs and stars that paved the street of dreams, loud powerful music and incendiary guitar pyrotechnics.
That music is provided by men who lived it, then and now: vocalist / guitarist Ron Keel, lead guitarist Mitch Perry, drummer Mark Edwards, bassist Rik Fox, and session drummer Dwain Miller. The song was written by Ron Keel specifically for Steeler, and is featured on his new RFK Media album release Keelworld....
In a recent video interview with music journalist Joel Gausten, veteran singer Ron Keel (Keel / Steeler / Ron Keel Band / Iron Horse) talked about his new album, Keelworld, the first new Steeler recording in decades, his brief stint fronting Black Sabbath, his longevity in the music industry, and more.
Released on August 2 via RFK Media, Keelworld includes the first new Steeler track in over 40 years, "Give Me Guitars (Or Give Me Death)", which is accompanied by a big-budget music video directed by David Pear (The Dead Daisies) that will be released on Black Friday (November 29) to coincide with the release of a blue vinyl edition of the album....When asked whether Steeler has plans beyond the new song, Keel replied:
