Hangar 18 live at Paladino's
Tarzana, CA
September 11, 2004

Paladino's is always a treat to play, always filled with familiar faces - friends, fans, and staff. In Hangar 18's three year history, we've played Paladino's at least ten times, with more shows to come! It's no wonder this venue is considered our "home club".

The bill was filled with thrash -- Hangar 18, plus the Slaytanic Slayer tribute, Angel of Death, Domination 101 (Pantera tribute) and Lemmy's Wart (Motorhead tribute). Angel of Death and Hangar 18 had just played San Diego together the night before.

Hangar 18, back on the glorious Paladino's stage.

 

The crowd was very lively! Whole lotta smiles and headbangin', especially when the band unveiled the latest set addition, "Take No Prisoners"

Melanie "Mellefson" Sisneros, clad in a patriotic red, white, and blue in honor of 9/11, may be grinning big here, but things weren't going as well a few songs earlier when she and William "Fro" Mustaine decided to test the laws of matter -- no two matter can occupy the same place at the same time. The two bits of matter used in this experiemnt were Fro's arm and Mellefson's face -- ouch!

Dave Scott takes a break by standing (although he's oft been known for sitting down on the job) while Fro Mustaine starts the intro to "Mechanix".

Mellefson rocks out with the guys in the front.

After a 45 minute set of assaultive speed metal, Hangar 18 concludes the performance on a big note!

The End.
