We are counting down the top 26 metal songs of all time this weekend inside Hangar 19. Why 26? Because we have 3 hours to fill and it sounded like a good number. This is the list to put all other “greatest metal songs” lists to shame. Agree with the list or not one thing will not be denied, the greatness of these songs and bands. Crank it loud and proud and enjoy the last Hangar 19 of 2012
Anyone remember back in the early 80′s when Metallica said “we’ll never make a video?” Then of course they did and have since gone on to become the world’s biggest metal band. As an owner of most Metallica releases it’s always a little exciting when a new one is announced.
On Dec. 10, 2012 Metallica “Quebec Magnetic” will hit the streets. A 2 disc DVD or single disc blu-ray, this live show was recorded in 2009 in Quebec City at the height of the World Magnetic tour. This is what Metallica’s website says about it.
“Just in case you missed the first story, the DVD was shot by our long time cohort Wayne Isham, capturing the two World Magnetic shows in Quebec City in the fall of 2009. You were kind enough to help us select the set list by voting here on this site, choosing the songs played in set-list number two as the main program. All the songs played at those two shows will be included on the DVD/Blu-ray. You can peruse the set list below.”

Die your hair black, put on some guy liner and break out the pleather pants as we get gothic this weekend.
The band Paradise Lost has been going at it for almost 30 years as one of the original goth metal bands. They actually started out in London as a doom/death metal band but by the time their 2nd album Gothic was released the songs we’re starting to get the goth influence that is now so prevalent in their music. With a new album out and a now successful tour with Devin Townsend of the states behind them, lead singer Nick Holmes joins me to dive into their history and try to predict their future.
For this week’s Power Set our friends at Loudwire put together a top 10 list of the best Slayer songs. The top 4 from this list get played this weekend.
We have a Then and Now from Iron Maiden’s Steve Harris featuring a song from his new solo album British Lion. Check out the video for “This is my God” here
We are going In the (recent) Vault with Phil Anselmo of Pantera and Down for his rant on NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell
For our heavy metal move and soundtrack recommendation we prove that Rob Zombie isn’t the only rock and metal star to make horror movies. We take a look at Dee Snider’s 1998 horror movie Strangeland.
3 hours of classic metal each week inside Hangar 19
Quick! Who’s the most metal of the 80′s hair metal bands?
I’ll accept Motley Crue but the answer I was looking for is Skid Row.
I welcome inside Hangar19 this weekend the one and only Sebastian Bach! In honor you will hear a bunch of Skid Row tunes and some of his more recent solo work..
Meanwhile we’ll get a Power Set of live Pantera songs on, go In the Vault with Randy Rhoads, check out some more new music from Testament on a Then and Now, and with the release of this years Madden ’13 Video Game, we try to figure out which of the games 20+ years was the most metal year for the always fun Madden soundtrack.
I’m Cutter and I want to urge you to step inside Hangar 19
