Arsenio wasn't afraid to have some metal bands on his show and I respect him for that.
Shit, if I remember right he had the Chili Peppers on to perform their cover of 'Higher Ground'
@@Zer0fuks Yeah but Chili Peppers aint metal.
@@MetalPersonJ they are metal to me
Thank you camera man for focusing on Marty's fretboard.
Marty's playing was so spot on too!
R.I.P. Nick Menza. One of the best metal drummers ever.
Died doing what he loved, beating them drums
@@TheCrazyCanuck420we all should be so lucky.
The fact that he went on the show blasting the drums with NO SHIRT ON says it all.....yes he was awesome
He was a beast!
Mad respect to Arsenio, he had the full spectrum of bands and musicians on and had energy for every one of them.
Amen.
Man back in the day......i was a big fan of the Arsenio Hall show....it was REAL.
Went urban the last year. Farrakhan was the tipping point. Missed the variety.
...TROOF...he said and ment it when HE SAID...everyone is WELCOMED at his table....yep....!!!!
well except Vanilla Ice.
Man whoever ran that sound board SLAYED it that sounded SO GOOD for live
Yes they did a great job with living color too.
Indeed! Clean and tight
Bass sounds so good!
I remember recording this on my VCR that night. I still have it on VHS after all these years.
Well man you're saying that I used to do the exact same thing memories man
I really miss those days...except the awkward teen part.
Really! That’s is so cool! Lucky!
And how about the VCR? Either way that's so amazing. How could I have missed this.
Same same, could not believe how hard this was at the time, I always thought this was such a great performance. We use to record videos from headbangers ball and so many movies, and yes for whatever reasons still have almost all of them on vhs tapes….lol
This lineup of Megadeth was absolutely exquisite. Perhaps their finest hour.
In My Darkest Hour joke. Mine was unsuitable.
Missing Chris Poland on guitar 👀
But you see the steel was much to strong....
@@bongalord4800 He was awesome but Marty was a pretty badass replacement
Their finest hour came just after their darkest hour...sorry had to lol
Damn bro, Marty can SHRED.
One half of cacophony oh course. He needed to keep up with Jason Becker.
That switch-up in the middle of Hangar 18 is one of the most brilliant moments in the history of metal.
You know the switch up you mentioned always kind of reminds what maiden used to do.. Back in the the day when they rocked out
@@kylemarzion2814 Absolutely. Maiden were great at that stuff, usually in their big epic tracks to close an album.
He said way back that Merciful Fate was an influence. Masters of the "switch-up". Satans Fall, The Oath, Desecration of Souls....ect.
@@thomasfoytek7633yes.
i’ve always heard mercyful fate in that section and in other songs.
that mid bit in ‘curse of the pharaohs’ is so groovy, james brown could dance to it.
not now, of course.
Yup. Still gives me chills to this day. Good sh*t.
Back then it was unheard of such metal bands on prime TV. AH is the man to thank.
It happened all the time. Metallica at the Grammy's. Anthrax popping up on TV shows all the time. MTV.
@@captainjefferies9047 Thanks to AH
@@chrisgarcia5462 Okay crazy person. Hall was booking the Grammy's in the 80's and deciding what videos MTV played.
11pm isn't prime time Arsenio's timeslot?
It was like a slap in the face when Metallica went "commercial" or "mainstream" with the Black album.
Arsenio did so much for Heavy Metal and Rap.... He had a crazy famous show, and wasn't afraid to give these artists that usually wouldn't have a chance to be on a National TV talkshow an audience. So damn cool.
What other Metal bands did he have on his show?
@@michaeltroina11Anthrax was on in 92, they played Only and Got the Time, they called it a mini concert and let the crowd on to the floor and had a mosh pit and everything.
@@dmarshall5148 I'll look it up on RUclips. Thanks
#RapisCrap !
The sound quality is amazing, great performance, no lip syncing.
Real vocals, real playing from real musicians.
That bass is growling. Solos are tight. Really good stuff and props to arsenio for having them
And Nick Menza speeds up like a punk band every time he changes. Meaning they have to speed up their solos, proving they can play those licks faster each time he changes lol.
I half expected it to end with dead silence and then: "Looks like you guys aren't ready for that yet... But your KIDS are gonna love it."
Damn the sound quality is amazing.
Damn wait so woman Belanda best cept clear all... It Kansas ... 🔫
Saw the last tour and every song sounded like the vinyl!! Never seen a band sound so clean live
@@honda-tooke036 I think we can all agree with that.
I was thinking the same thing. Surprisingly good for 1990 TV. A lot of TV broadcasts sounded awful back then.
@@demonicsweaters I've watched other performances from the same show. Whoever he had setting up the sound did an awesome job.
Killer mix!!! You can hear the bass!!
daves guitar was non existant
Of course! There is Megadeth not Metallica ;)
@@leonardoferreira9580 what a catch! The crowd goes wild!! I really didn't catch the irony. Thank you! I'm b3ing totally sincere.
And Dave's voice was totally tolerable.
@@remember_Pat_Tillman People rag on Dave's singing ability, but I think his voice sounds badass. The shrill crazy schizo character he puts on is really creative and matches the lyrics and music well. Plus his ability to write creative lyrics and catchy vocal melodies for well arranged songs makes up for whatever pure singing ability or pleasant-sounding voice he may be lacking.
That's amazing. Mad respect for Arsenio Hall. He put Megadeth on before heavy metal music of that caliber would ever be on mainstream television.
Metallica was on the Grammy's in the late 80s/early 90s.
@@Retrorevelationsyeah but he’s talking about late night shows preferably Johnny Carson
Marty Friedman gave a studio quality performance. Solos were note for note to the album. Amazing.
Marty was an absolute monster on the guitar, and extremely humble as well.
Agreed! 110% 🤯🤯🤯
No joke. That was about as close to perfection as a live performance can get.
maybe cause it was a video and none of them were plugged ? lol. but he s a master anyway
@@emmanuelaube6458 You can see their cables, but ok, dude.
Hands down one of the most amazing performances Megadeth ever played \m/
This was a shock to see live on tv then, huh huh…..Arsenio rules
Why do you say that? I know the album wasn't released yet by the time of that show..
@@Danvalencia30 there weren't many heavy metal bands on late night TV. This was a rare exception.
@@randysmith9841 stuff like this was starting to become more mainstream. Wasn't there yet but it was on its way. They had stuff like this on MTV and headbangers ball alot but yea it wasn't super common on late night TV but like I said metal was starting to creep more into the mainstream around this time. I see they did a shorter version of the song for TV lol.
They played on Arsenio in 92 or 93 as well, promoting Countdown... They played Symphony.. It's here on youtube as well. Arsenio always had great artists perform at his show.
Iirc Arsenio was a low-key metalhead
Arsenio was really cool guy to have a band this heavy on his show! Plus the lighting, the stage and the multiple cameras were really well done. Arsenio spared no expense.
I could watch this 1000 times and never get tired of it
Megadeth was ahead of their time!! I didn't understand their music back then, now I love them!!!!!😊😊😊
The bass line hits like a fuckin thunder!
idk, i don’t think it was that inventive or the note choice was that baffling
he’s had great moments, dave ellefson, but i don’t think this is one of them. was never a fan of the intro, but he is a tone beast at least.
So badass!!! Marty Friedman is INSANE!!! I LOVE THIS!!!
I heard Hangar 18 live in 1990 and it's still one of my most epic hearing experiences ever. The tempo changes and solo's are like a Rembrandt of metal.
This was the first Megadeth record I ever bought way back in 1991 as a 16 year old. It changed my life.
Hear that bass!
Man, I remember seeing this the night it aired. Such good times. And Arsenio was the man. He always had excellent musical guests, and this was no exception. Thank you for posting this!
I love Arsenio he is so cool and funny, I wish he had appeared in more films than he did and love the fact that he included the boys of Megadeth in his show. Hail Megadeth
Hail🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🇳🇿
That was pretty bad ass! Nice short version. That was a great show for sure. One of the longest index fingers in show business too to this day on Arsenio. RIP Nick Mensa.
It's 2024 and my 14 year old son is crazy about Megadeth! Long live rock and roll!
I went to see Megadeth (for by that time the 2nd or 3rd time) at the first Gigantour. At one point I think they were playing Tornado of Souls, and some kid was bouncing all around (I wasn't in the pit), and knocked into me. I looked over and his mom was right there with him, and she leaned over and apologized "He's just really excited to see Megadeth, it's his first time!" and I told her "No problem". I got it. And it was cool of her to be there with him.
This sounds amazing. Close to the album.
Wow! This might just be the best live version of the song I've ever heard. Was a nice touch cutting out the pre-verse appregios; it worked a treat. Furthermore, even Mustaine's vocals sound a lot better than usual.
That's because they vocals aren't real. Lol
@@johnsambo9379 Why do you say that? They aren't studio and done look/sound lip synced
Mustain sounds like ass here, but I'm not that familiar with live Megadeth so maybe it's good by his standards
That performance must have been awesome being on the set of that show..... I remember fondly watching this back in the day thinking 🤔, WOW imagine the sound pressure coming off that stage!!!!?? 1of the all time gr8tst REAL LIVE performances!!!!!!!!! Miss ya Nick& Marty!!!!
Metal on prime time. Such glorious days!
I remember staying up to watch this! It really was a shock that they were playing on mainstream TV! I remember being completely blown away by this performance, and watching it now, it's stil pretty mind blowing how good it is!
The Vinyl that Arsenio holds is now worth $200 at least
Nah probably up your ass..
Just as tight as the album. What a band.
Can't believe that I never saw this before i grew up during this time
This album blew the Black album out of orbit and for that , this lineup is the ultimate Megadeth
megadeth fans really can't stop talking about metallica lol the trauma is real
@@m0line Excuse me , wtf is a Metallica fanboi doing on a MegaDave content? Seems like u are a closet MegaDave fan huh😜
@@princesssolace4337 I'm not mentally ill so, unlike you, I can enjoy both bands equally. I just think is funny how megadeth fans are still butthurt about metallica's success. Get over it.
@@m0line Seriously, I am fcukin disappointed from Justice till Hardwired.
U need to understand the context here. I grew up listening to Metallica when the first 3 album hit the market.
I'm so dam dissapointed with 'black' album compared to the other metal releases in 1990.
MEGADETH - Rust in Peace
SLAYER - Season of the Abyss
ANTHRAX - Persistence of Time
SEPULTURA - Arise (1991)
Those are 4 metal albums that don't dissapoint. In 1989 we get -
SEPULTURA - Beneath the Remains.
TESTAMENT - Practice what u Preach.
FAITH NO MORE - Real Thing.
@@m0line it's not about success it's about the quality of music. Metallica peaked in the 80's and never evolved their music. Every thrash band from that era shits on Metallica after 88-89
Just fabulous for a TV performance. Hats off to Arsenio and his crew. Mustaine and the lads on their A+ game. And it almost goes without saying but Marty is an absolute wonder of a musician.
Arsenio was the lick back in the 90s he always had cool guests!
Dave Mustaine (Guitar/Vocals)
Marty Friedman (Lead Guitar)
Nick Menza (Drums)
David Ellefson (Bass)
I was so proud seeing my boys absolutely destroy this show/audience. Never gets old to watch.
This song blows my mind everytime I listen
Classic lineup… top of their game.
Marty Friedman with that unmistakable pick grip and flawless playing. What a beast.
On the Arsenio show of all places 🤘🏽⚡ brilliant to see
Great live performances on Arsenio's show..I loved that show..
They needed to get the setup that the soundboard mixer used here and take it with them on tour. this was a big moment for them and they slayed it
Wow, that's probably the closest to studio sound quality I've ever heard in a Megadeth live performance. It's hard to find performances with this quality in any band, whether it's rock/metal or whatever. Usually live guitar tones seem to sound a little "washed out" and not nearly the same, but here the entire mix of all instruments is tight and amazing.
It’s Marty he carried
We have to keep in mind that sometimes the microphone of the recording device gets distorted so it might not be problems with the live performance (necessarily). You are correct in what you said though. This one is crisp in every way in comparison to most.
@@Chimchimchu No I didn't mean anything about performance quality, only that I think that the tone itself typically sounds different in most live situations. Concerts aren't a controlled environment like a studio, and depending on the live mix and the acoustics of the venue, it's subject to alot of different variables. But here everything sounded amazing.
Hahaha!!! Do you think that Arsenio really got how amazing that was...?
The harmonic minor solo Friedman did was so awesomely exotic!!!
Still bad ass enough to have em on the show
Who cares. He had enough sense and respect to give Megadeth their due
I think he thought it was badass judging from his reaction
Yes
He was into the Japanese scales thing at this time. Then he left after youthinasia and bolted to Japan for the last 30 years.
These guys tore the roof off.
The sound and the tone are amazing. This was live!
This band with these members was when they sounded there best 🤘🏻
That bend was really awesome 🔥🔥🔥
Damn Arsenio! I used to watch his show and missed this one...
How did i miss that episode... I'm sorry 😊 rough year.
Megadeth is awesome 🎉❤
One of my favorites to play improvise on 😊
I am from Russia and this is my favourite metal band ❤
That was an awesome performance. The intro and other parts were shortened obviously for live t.v. Imagine being there. Those that were there were very lucky.
Megadeth sounds so amazing live! 🤘🏻
those guys headbanging metal af. marty david nick and dave rock a lot
One of my favorite line up.of megadeth
**and it was at this time the world watched absolute best guitar solos ever to be broadcasted. What a time to be alive!
Is no one going to mention the speed of this? This has to been at least 10+% faster than the album version which is already a pain in the arse to be able to play
Great live performance, I love this song
Killing performance. Never listen much to it but being musician I can greatly appreciate the high quality music they just delivered. Can’t believe Dave deep in hard drugs back then, it’s beyond understanding. How could he play that good while being high?!?
Dave famously cleaned up before recording Rust.
The best era of Megadeth, the Jackson era!
Sounds really good. As always…MEGADETH kills it. Artistry is so important.
Saw them at the Diamond Ball Room in OKC, OK. in 1991 I think. The A/C went out, the place was hosing us down with pitchers of beer to keep us cool. That whole song I think I looked up twice, the rest of the time was compelet head banging. Ah, 19 years old. What a time to be alive.
I watched this when it was first broadcast, a third of a century ago.
QUESTA FORMAZIONE È L'UNICA DEI MEGADETH CHE VERRÀ RICORDATA PER SEMPRE.
I've been listening to Megadeth for almost 20 years now... And TO THIS DAY it still amazes me how Marty can play note by note live, but doesn't make it boring
The best thrash guitarrist ever
I'd say James is the best thrash guitarist ever, as thrash is VERY rhythm based, and nobody came up with rhythms like James. But you could certainly make the argument that Marty was the best thrash LEAD guitarist. Dave hired him for a reason. Go look up his work in Cacaphony, pre-Megadeth, and you'll see why Dave hired him. Dude was insane.
Absolutely awesome! What a band!
Arsenio was amazing to metal bands. Kudos to him for going against the grain and having them on his show.
Back in the good old days 👍Awesome performance!!
'HIGH QUALITY' indeed.
MEGADETH get me high on jazz
Unbelievable - the mix, the baseline!?!?!?!? Unreal
Llegando para el aniversario de éste discazo 🤩❤️
Goddamn, I love megadeth. Thrash with melodies. Good lord.
Great to see such perfect camera angles.
I saw this live on TV, since then, forever droogie 🤘🏻
happy dethday🤘🤘🤘💀
That was kick ass!! Dam I miss this shit
Love the riff Dave plays while he's singing.
STILL their BEST lineup.... and it's 2023!
right , I saw this line up a few times in the early day's .. Nothing compares ..
So Damn Tight!!
Sounded good.
Rest in peace Nick.
\,,/
Whose Nick?
@@armando8982 Steve Kerr's son
Bro what a flawless performance
The best Megadeth era !
Never gets old. Never.
que buena reso dios, el 60fps se nota demasiado
Arsenio was probably punching his shows talent agent for booking his favorite band rather than a top 40 band. 😂
This is for sure a cut-down version for TV.
Hay que reconocer que Mustaine canta a la vez que toca arreglos en la guitarra independientes a la voz, mil respetos
Imagine if Megadeth weren’t forced to go mainstream in the 90s and we got a RIP 2.0. I loved the albums they created (even risk) but this is their best.
What do you mean they were "forced" to go mainstream? Risk isn't that great at all honestly. It was megadeths st anger lol.
@@midnight347 maybe look it up yourself
They weren't forced.
@@mamaburra69 yes they were. They weren’t able to be themselves. Youthansia was slowed on purpose, Dave even made some songs (blood of heroes, and Killing road) faster on the remaster version since he hated how he was forced to keep all the songs at a certain tempo to get on the radio. With trust he was told to sing the lyrics rather than speak them, Marty quit because his solo got taken out without consent and he even said being in the band held him back musically since megadeth was going all poppy and wrote simpler riffs.
@@midnight347 Risk was actually good
Definitely my favourite metal album
That was gorgeous.
