We’ve seen Megadeth hanging out with Pee-wee Herman. We’ve caught Mastodon partying backstage and onstage with Barney. And now we can say that Steel Panther have much less than a 6 degree relationship with Kevin Bacon.

When the hair metal band played at the Irving Plaza in NYC last week, they were also joined backstage by the original Footloose star. What resulted was the funny picture seen above. “NYC was kill3r! Bacon loves metal and we love Bacon! So much fun rockin!!,” the band posted along with the pic on Facebook. Sadly, it doesn’t appear that Bacon joined Steel Panther onstage. Still, it’s pretty cool to see Bacon hanging out with a few good men.
