Hangar 18 live at Kozmos
Huntington Beach, CA
April 18, 2003

What a fantastic packed night at Kozmos! Hangar 18 played to a rabid crowd of mega-metal fans, alongside the world famous tribute to Iron Maiden, The Iron Maidens, and Metalblade recording artists, The Fallen.

Here's a glimpse at the crowd, all packed into the hallowed halls of Kozmos.

 

There was a whole lotta headbanging going on, as Hangar 18 tore thru Megadeth classics ranging from "The Mechanix" to "Tornado of Souls".

 

William "Fro Mustaine" Rustrum shared a newsclipping he came across regarding penis-numbing condoms. We're all *still* trying to figure out the relevance...

Dave Scott Chedrick Samuelson shows off his Raven Mad t-shirt. Three of the five members of Hangar 18 were once in an original band called Raven Mad-- beware, lest a Raven Mad tune slip into the set...

The show featured enhancements to the new lightshow, including a glowing green skull in the palm of Hangar 18's life-size standup Vic Rattlehead.

The Kozmos show featured lead guitarist Marty "Vic" Doty.

Guitarist Michael "Mikey Friedman" Johnson was on board, looking very well after his month-long hiatus. Look for Mikey Friedman's Welcome Back gig at Paladino's on May 16, 2003!

Flyer Gallery: The Kozmos flyer featured a new design, assembled by Hangar 18's Melanie "Mellefson" Sisneros and featuring photography by Carol Anderson.

Special thanks to our crew, without whom the show would not have been possible: Anna Yost, Dave Watson, Ron Vander Dussen, Carol Anderson (photography), and Denis "The Moshking" Recendez (video). Also thanks to Chris "Drumslut" Silva for lending a hand!
