Granted late shows like Conan's Show and Late Night have nearly perfectly mixed sound, bands just don't kick ass on those shows anymore. You may have Tool or some crap wannabe metal bands attempting but they always sound wrong. Anyway I was cruising the You Tube and found this gem from a 1990 Arsenio Hall Show. It's Megadeth with Hanger 18 which they shortened up due to airtime by killing a lot of the lead in riffs so they could get the main solos in. Because, You know, you can't kick ass without multiple screaming, flame throwing, lightning fast solos, can ya? No. No you can't.
You gotta love Arsenio tyeing absolutely everything into a sub par urban slang crucification with that introduction.... "Some bands bust a move but this band busts your brain." *chuckle* I swear I was totally entertained watching his show though so no hate for Arsenio here. And was Hanger 18 really a "hit single" or was that just compared to their other releases? I am sure Dave Mustain (yes thats a link to his shout out to me again, screw you I love it, thanks again xversusy.) would disagree but I am glad they never went Metallica. Never mind album sales but having fans arrested for downloading songs is just pathetic. You know come to think of it I would replace Carson Daily with Arsenio right this second if I could.
Woof! Woof! Woof!
