Hangar 18 live at Angels Sports Bar
Corona, CA
June 28, 2003

Hangar 18 made its second trek into the Inland Empire as A Very Sabbath Weekend continued. This time, H18 played with the all-female tribute to Black Sabbath, Mistress of Reality, as well as Alice Unchained, an excellent tribute to Alice in Chains.

The close quarters of the Angels Sports Bar and Gentlemen's Club allowed for lots of band interraction. Here are brothers in arms, William "Fro Mustaine" Rustrum and Michael "Mikey Friedman" Johnson.

 

The H18 rhythm section shows some attitude! Mega-Metal scowls provided by bassist Melanie "Mellefson" Sisneros and drummer Dave Scott Chedrick Samuelson.

Fro Mustaine displays a very Dave Mustaine-esque facial expression.

And here's Dave Scott Chedrick Samuelson's "oh face" (see Office Space, one of Dave's favorite movies, for the reference).

Mellefson weilds her 5-string bass with ease despite matters of size.

Hangar 18 is nothing without our fearless crew; here is a rare glimpse of guitar tech/stagehand Ron Vander Dussen. Ron, an avid motorcyclist, hopes that Hangar 18 will add "Motopsycho" to the setlist some day.

Hangar 18 concluded A Very Sabbath Weekend with a cover of Megadeth's cover of "Paranoid". For the jam, H18 invited a few friends on stage: Jeff Fahnestock, singer for the killer Black Sabbath tribute Sabotage, on vocals and Anna Yost, Hangar 18's drum tech/lighting tech, on drums. Dave Scott Chedrick Samuelson provided a killer tambourine solo.

The jam also called out Hangar 18's other guitar player, Marty "Vic" Doty to the stage.

Flyer Gallery: The Angels Sports Bar flyer featured the State of the Art Speed Metal Band artwork. The flyer was designed by Melanie Sisneros and features photography by Carol Anderson.

Special thanks to our fellow band mate and our crew, without whom the show would not have been possible: Marty "Vic" Doty, Anna Yost, Ron Vander Dussen, and Jeff Fahnestock (photography).
