January 17-18, 2004

2004! A fresh new year! What a great opportunity to view fresh new gear! Musical gear, that is, as the Music industry showcased its finest wares at the 2004 NAMM show. Hangar 18's William "Fro Mustaine" Rustrum, Melanie "Mellefson" Sisneros, and Dave Scott Chedrick Samuelson spent the weekend gazing at new musical wonders and meeting up with heroes, idols, friends.

Members of Hangar 18 on the show floor, hanging out with buds Chris "Drumslut" Silva" (Peace Corp.) and Juan Carlos (Psychic Mafia, Metal 101).

 

The members of Hangar 18 also had the privilege of meeting their Megadeth idols. Here, Mellefson gives horns up with Dave Mustaine.
