Q&A Richard Blais ‘Top Chef’ champ brings popular Crack Shack eatery to Vegas
Top Chef champion Richard Blais—he won the all-star season in 2011 after taking the runner-up spot in his first go-round in 2008—has expanded his addictive Crack Shack chicken eatery beyond Southern California for the first time, opening his sixth store right on the Strip at Park MGM. If you’re looking for these tasty eats, step right outside Eataly and head north. You’ll have a harder time catching up with the chef, who’s constantly traveling for TV appearances and always developing something new in the kitchen and behind the camera. You’ve been running all over the country lately. Is that normal these days? And where’s home now? I live just north of San Diego, but I’ve been on the road so much. It sounds much more romantic than it is and it’s not always like this week, which has been a four- or five-city week. A lot of it is more on the television and media side, and I do a live show that’s actually perfect for Las Vegas, so maybe this can inspire some new work for me.
Gordon Ramsay’s face, and Giada (De Laurentiis), and my friend Guy Fieri has a place across the street, not to mention all the world-famous culinary talents that are here but not on Food Network or Top Chef. I guess what I’m saying is, it’s an honor. But I’m not Gordon or Guy, and I don’t have that sort of household recognition, so I sort of sit on the fence of being a TV chef. But being here helps me feel like I’m heading that way, which is great.
What’s that show about? I call it stand-up cooking. It’s one part cooking demonstration and one part weird science-slash-stand-up comedy. It has been keeping me on the road, but as far as restaurants are concerned, it’s really about Crack Shack, and this is a massive opening for us.
Crack Shack is not the average fried chicken joint. What is it that makes this restaurant stand out? A lot of fried chicken places understandably have origins in the Deep South. We have biscuits on the menu, and our batter might be a version of a Southern recipe, but we’re from Southern California. It sounds like a funny thing to say, but one of the big (factors) is that our take is a little lighter and fresher. We have lots of Mexican influences on the menu since our first location was in San Diego so close to the border, and generally that’s the type of food we like to eat as well. And we’re very sandwich- and salad-based, where a lot of other places are just about fried chicken.
Most people recognize you from Top Chef or one of your other TV appearances. Do you consider yourself a celebrity chef? And what’s it like to bring your brand to the Strip? I’m a celebrity chef in air quotes. I think when you get to Vegas it validates some sort of celebrity chefness. You get off the airplane and there are (billboards with)

You’ve probably been too busy to have any time getting better acquainted with Park MGM and other parts of Las Vegas. Are you looking forward to that? I haven’t had a lot of chances and I’m still figuring out the vast catacombs of these casinos. I walked into three different kitchens and could not get back to my own restaurant, so I’m still figuring it out. But I’ve always been a fan of Vegas. As a native New Yorker, I know there aren’t
many places outside New York and Vegas that have this energy. As soon as you land, you know you’re someplace special. But I’m a big spa guy and have not sat poolside yet or found the time to relax and hit the spa at NoMad. I’m also a big fitness guy, so I’m looking to explore more local Vegas. I like running in 100-degree heat. I’m weird like that. So I can’t wait to... do a little hiking and experience all those things most people don’t think of right away.
Around the Strip Brock Radke is an award-winning entertainment reporter who has been covering the city since 2000, and interviews key movers and shakers on his All The Vegas podcast, available at allthevegas.com.
An Unforgettable Voice When we last caught up with popopera singer Daniel Emmet, he was reflecting on his success as a finalist on America’s Got Talent, staying focused on his goal of shining a light on classical music and teasing some of the exciting projects he’d be working on later this year. We didn’t know one of those projects would bring him back to the stage at
Cleopatra’s Barge at Caesars Palace, where he performed with the cast of Cocktail Cabaret. His All That I Am limited engagement opened at the Barge last week and continues on Sept. 1, 6 and 22-23, when he’ll be showcasing his incredible vocal range with ballads, rock favorites and at least one song in another language.
Must-See Hans Klok He calls himself “the world’s fastest magician” and there’s a reason for that. Dutch superstar Hans Klok fits an unbelievable number of illusions into his new show at the Thunderland showroom at Excalibur, which he’s performing Monday through Thursday at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday at 4 and 7:30 p.m. And it’s not just rapid-fire delivery that will amaze you; Klok mixes some of his favorites like Harry Blackstone’s floating light bulb trick into the set with his own modern creations, including a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it transformation into another person. A master magician in his element on the Vegas stage, Klok is ready to wow.

Janet Jackson made the most of her last run at Park Theater, stopping in at two of Park MGM’s nightspots after one of her last Metamorphosis performances with dancers and crew members. They hit Juniper Cocktail Lounge and On the Record nightclub. While in town for preview performances of her Forever Your Girl residency at the Flamingo, Paula Abdul took some time offstage and off the ground, soaring above The Linq Promenade on the FlyLinq zipline. Abdul is back at the Flamingo on Oct. 22. Actor Vince Vaughn visited Caesars Palace to take in Absinthe and share a few snappy one-liners with the Gazillionaire after the show. Emmy-winning actor Darren Criss from The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story and his wife Mia Swier caught The Cosmopolitan’s comedy show Opium recently with friends Lauren Lopez and Joey Richter from L.A. production The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals. Olivia Pierson, star of E! network hit Relatively Nat & Liv, partied at the Palms to celebrate her 29th birthday. It began with dinner at Scotch 80 Prime with sister Sophia and cousin and co-star Natalie Halcro and continued at Kaos Nightclub, where Marshmello was in command from the DJ booth and fellow model and reality star Nicole Williams joined the party. The group kept it going the following Saturday for Kaos Dayclub, where pro skateboarders Leticia Bufoni and Nyjah Huston also enjoyed the atmosphere.

It’s Been a Magic Ride
Singer closing out long Vegas residency We may be heading towards cooler temperatures, but Grammy-winning hit-maker Bruno Mars has hot plans for the City of Entertainment. Beginning Sept. 3, Mars returns to Las Vegas for his final set of scorching performances at Park Theater. Born in 1985 as Peter Gene Hernandez, Bruno was always destined for the lights of Sin City. Part of a large musical family, he began performing for audiences at age 3. Known as “Little Elvis” for his impersonation of The King, Mars had a bit part at age 7 in the film Honeymoon In Vegas and launched his first Vegas residency at The Cosmopolitan in 2013.
Bruno Mars photo by Kai Z Feng
While the word “superstar” is often tossed around with abandon, Mars deserves the label. Rising like a rocket, the Honolulu native went from near obscurity to phenomenon in less than a decade. With only three studio albums, the singer has managed to make an impact unseen since the days of Prince and the Revolution. Mars may indeed be the heir apparent to the Purple One’s throne. His backstory, style and career path are remarkably similar. And much like the legendary funkmeister, Mars manages to defy musical genres by blending rock, R&B, pop, dance, soul, reggae and even a little New Jack Swing into his own brand of “Uptown Funk.”
Bruno and his band The Hooligans manage to cast a spell on every generation and culture. Their party-hearty hits are just as popular at weddings as they are at nightclubs. And of course, you’ll hear favorites like “24K Magic” in dozens of other productions around the city. Since opening in 2016, the residency has sold out nearly every performance at Park MGM’s beautiful new theater, and was extended to this year. Be a part of Vegas history when three successful years come to a close. –Sam Novak Park Theater at Park MGM, 9 p.m. Sept. 3-4, 7, 9-10 & 13-14, starting at $87.61 plus tax and fee. 844.600.7275

Las Vegas has been a bit spoiled when it comes to Elton John. Starting with his first Caesars Palace Colosseum residency, The Red Piano, in 2004, and continuing through the end of his second Caesars residency, The Million Dollar Piano, in May 2018, tourists and locals in Vegas have been able to catch the legendary singer-songwriter in concert hundreds of times. But John is now capping off his storied career with a lengthy farewell tour, and his two shows at T-Mobile Arena this week may be the last opportunity to see John perform live onstage in Vegas. Although he’s headed into a well-deserved retirement, John is more prominent than he’s been in years, thanks to the hit biopic Rocketman. New fans and longtime admirers alike will want to experience John in concert one more time, hearing classics like “Bennie and the Jets,” “Tiny Dancer,” “Candle in the Wind,” “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” and many more from a performer who’s made Vegas an honorary second home. –Josh Bell

Hey, Grrl The heart of Heart has always been sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson, so it was devastating for fans of the longtime classic-rock band when the two decided to go their separate ways in 2016. Thankfully, the family bonds have been restored, and both Wilsons are on board for Heart’s latest tour, which they’ve appropriately labeled the Love Alive Tour (after their 1977 song). The harmonic interplay between the sisters is the key element in Heart hits from early rockers “Barracuda,” “Crazy on You” and “Magic Man,” to later pop-oriented singles “These Dreams” and “All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You.” Heart has been a major force
in hard rock for four decades, and the Wilsons are unofficial matriarchs of the Seattle rock scene. “I think the tour will spark some positive new energy as we rediscover some of our iconic songs and also some fan favorites,” Ann said in the tour announcement, and the band clearly has renewed passion since the sisters’ reconciliation. They’re bringing along some fellow powerhouse female rockers on this tour, and Joan Jett opens the Vegas show, with attitude-filled hits like “Bad Reputation” and “I Love Rock ’n’ Roll” that provide the perfect complement to Heart’s catchy hardrock anthems. –Josh Bell

spotlight What’s your history of working Las Vegas? I’ve done The Comedy Cellar in Vegas before. This will be my third time. I had a great time the previous times I’ve done The Cellar in Vegas. The shows were great. The crowds were great. It was a natural fit to record your album. I thought it would be cool. Plus, a lot of other comics haven’t recorded an album in Vegas for a long time. Some of the bigger names, old-school people had. I thought it would be a cool vibe, plus The Comedy Cellar is the best club in the world. So it’s more than just the clever album title, Vider Las Vegas? Yeah, but the name helped in selling it. I liked the whole idea of doing it there and I have a subtle, dry delivery. It’s a modern delivery, but it’s joketelling. So it’s old-timey, too. So I feel like it’s a good fit. Do you consider your style more old-school? It feels like there is a renaissance for that for people who just want to laugh. Yeah. With all the political stuff that’s been going on, especially when Trump got elected, like I don’t do anything political. When that went on, I wondered if that was going to be a turn where people only wanted to hear about politics. But what happened was—people now just want to laugh. Most audiences don’t even want to hear the name Trump. They want to go to a comedy club, they just want to hear funny, silly. A joke is the best thing at this time. Did you have any issues with AGT since your humor often has a dark edge to it? There were some jokes where I had to modify it in a short time. Instead of doing that joke, I would just do another joke. Instead of having to find another punchline, I would just find stuff that would be suitable and, in some cases, I would have to write a new joke all together just so it would fit into the set.
Q&A: Gary Vider
Comedian readies for first album Before New York-based comedian Gary Vider landed on the hit television competition show America’s Got Talent, he didn’t have a manager, an agent and wasn’t able to get headlining work on the road. Vider maximized his appearances in season 10 of AGT, becoming one of a just a few

stand-up comics to reach the finals. Now, not only does he have those things he didn’t have before the show, but he’s also recording his first album at Rio’s Comedy Cellar from Sept. 2-8. Las Vegas Magazine’s Jason Harris caught up with Vider in anticipation of the recording.
What are your goals after the album comes out? I’m going to release some clips for Instagram from the album. I’ll hopefully be doing some late night appearances to promote the album. Ideally, my goal, along with doing stand-up, is to write a TV show. I’ve been doing stand-up for a while and haven’t had an album. It will be a relief to get some of this material out there.

This Stand-Up Guy Jimmy Kimmel may have had to leave Las Vegas for work, but Las Vegas has never left Jimmy Kimmel. Now Kimmel can always be here in spirit, thanks to the opening of Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club at the Linq Promenade. The latenight host had long wanted a presence in the city he was raised in from age 9, and he unhesitatingly accepted when Caesars Entertainment approached him in late 2017 with an offer to open a venue with his name on it. Now, in addition to all his other endeavors, he’s helping to take Las Vegas’ comedy scene to the next level. First-class treatment of comedians, the opportunity to have surprise guests and the ability to stretch out what could be done on a stand-up stage formed the foundational vision for the club—he even consulted with veteran comics to get their input on how he could create the ideal comedy venue—and the final results more than speak for themselves. Upcoming headliners at the club include comedians like Preacher Lawson (Sept. 1), Luenell
(Sept. 1 & 8) and Harland Williams (Sept. 5-8), The Linq Promenade, 8 p.m. Sun. & Thurs., and you never know when a comedy star might 8 & 11 p.m. Fri.-Sat., 18+, bar opens at 4 p.m. pop in for a set or whether Kimmel might show up daily, 21+. 702.777.2782 himself. –Las Vegas Magazine Staff
Dancing Machines If you check out Jabbawockeez at MGM Grand, you’ll be immersed in a playful, creative multimedia experience, as much in the tradition of Vegas institutions like Cirque du Soleil as it is related to traditional hip-hop dance. All of the performers wear white masks and remain silent, allowing their dance moves to do the talking for them. A pajama-clad dancer named PJ wanders through the world of the Jabbawockeez, alternately bemused and belligerent, as the dancers interact with each other, with elaborate video installations, and with the audience.
In his Mad Cap Comedy show (Harrah’s, 702.777.2782), stand-up comedian John Caparulo takes aim at the absurdities of everyday life—everything from his impression of an airport employee to how hunting isn’t really a “sport” to the trappings of married life.

A Whole New World The overwhelming feeling of Cirque du Soleil’s KÀ begins the moment you enter the cavernous theater. It’s a world unto itself, and its atmosphere—lighting that simulates the feeling of dusk, sound effects and performers prowling the area—envelops you before the show even begins. Then live music, at turns percussive and forceful, at other times somber and calming, hurls you into the story of twins separated in a battle. The tumultuous tale is complemented by a stage that never sits still; KÀ utilizes seven moving stages that
simulate everything from cliffs to a beach, and its hair-raising battle scenes place its protagonists at odd angles while 70 arrows are fired by 11 archers (60 others are fired by air cannons). The tableau in KÀ changes so often you never have a chance to get comfortable; Cirque wants to keep you on the edge of your seat as you try to anticipate what the performers—and the stage itself—will do next. You’ll likely have to make a return visit to take it all in, but this is a world you won’t mind revisiting. –Ken Miller
Distinctive Flavors At Mr Chow, the journey begins with a short trip up a private elevator to the completely white room, a stark contrast to the colorful spectacle that awaits. The eponymous Mr Chow Noodles are a fitting tribute to Chow and his culinary empire. And the jet-black squid ink rice noodles are a worthy rendition of the dish. Conversely, a flash of color comes from the green prawns, owing their distinctive hue to spinach purée. A signature presentation is the gambler’s duck. Wrap the crispy, fatty waterfowl in paper-thin steamed pancakes with a delectable plum sauce for a memorable bite. –Jim Begley Caesars Palace, 5-10 p.m. Tues.-Thurs., 5-10:30 p.m. Fri.-Sat. 702.731.7888

Wagyu carpaccio
At Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s eponymous Jean Georges Steakhouse—one of the original members of Aria’s opening restaurant lineup—fans of Vongerichten’s unique style keep the restaurant busy. Since it opened, the restaurant has underwent cosmetic touches that created a more cosmopolitan space while amplifying the swanky New York vibe. It has also seen a menu overhaul spearheaded by chef de cuisine Sean Griffin, one that’s proven popular—it resulted in a distinctive personality unlike any other steakhouse in town. Vongerichten has always been known for Asian-infused influences, and Griffin’s menu doesn’t shy away from the Far East. Paper-thin slices of meaty wagyu carpaccio arrive draping earthy black truffle fritters with a touch of lime salt providing a citric respite to the umami-laden dish. Sushi atop crispy rice, on a recent visit, included hamachi tinged with chipotle mayonnaise and salmon accented with the refreshing addition of mint. And the miso-yuzu glaze on the Chilean sea bass delivers citrus flavor to the flaky, buttery fish. Griffin demonstrates a deft hand by imparting flavor without overwhelming the delicate seafood. But Griffin certainly doesn’t eschew the traditional steakhouse trappings either. Osetra caviar is skillfully perched atop a layered egg toast so creamy and buttery, you won’t be faulted if you mistake it for grilled cheese.

Marshall Altier
Rewriting his own life’s script You know that adage, “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans”? Well, that’s what happened to Marshall Altier, corporate mixologist for MGM Resorts International. After the Ohio native graduated college in his home state, he made the move to New York City to pursue his studies and love of Latin American cinema. But to pay the bills, he began working as a bartender. “Being a bartender, it eclipsed everything at that point,” Altier says. “It was during ’04-’05, the cocktail renaissance. I was lucky to be at the epicenter of the cocktail revolution, working in Manhattan at that time.” He began sharpening his skills, working with mentors, nerding out on cocktails (as he likes to say), and his resume grew quite impressively. His reputation brought him out to Las Vegas in 2013, when he was tasked to open a venue at
30 9.1.19 LasVegasMagazine.com
The Cosmopolitan, but less than a year later he moved back to NYC. However, five years later, the neon lights called him back. “The opportunity to come work for a company like MGM—I just was really excited to make the move back,” Altier says. He joined Bellagio in March as the property mixologist, and after just 90 days he was given his current title and responsibilities of overseeing the beverage side of hospitality for all of MGMRI’s properties. “I work and build partnerships with liquor companies, I design the menus and spaces, I do pricing and costs, train bartenders, handle new bar openings,” he says. “It’s a lot of spinning plates at once. … But I love to be able to bounce around creating the different concepts. Every day is a little bit different, a little bit of a hustle, but I enjoy that.” –Kiko Miyasato
Altier and his team recently revamped the cocktail menu at Baccarat Bar at Bellagio, tweaking some classics and creating stunning new additions, both tasteand presentation-wise, including the Dragon’s Breath Punch. All eyes in the bar will be on your party when you order this group cocktail that can serve four or more people. It’s a tweak on an old-school punch, says Altier—it’s bright, very refreshing and very drinkable. Plus, it just looks so darn cool! It’s mixed with Grey Goose Le Citron vodka, sake, green tea, honey, fresh lemon juice, absinthe and jasmine tea smoke. –KM

ON THE STRIP
Spanish Style
Celebrated chef keeps flavors fresh Julian Serrano is one of the foundational chefs of the Las Vegas Strip. He helped set a new standard for fine dining with the exemplary Picasso at Bellagio and more recently created an Italian experience, Lago, at the same resort. But with Julian Serrano Tapas (Aria, 877.230.2742) he created the first Spanish restaurant at a Strip casino while sharing innovations on his own native cuisine. Its parade of flavorful small plates include classic tapas such as the potato-laden Spanish
tortilla, gambas al ajillo (sautéed shrimp in a spicy tomato sauce) and goat cheese-stuffed dates. But there are larger-format shareable items for your group, including traditional paellas, crispy roasted suckling pig or the Portuguese-influenced seafood and rice dish known as mariscada. Start with an imported Spanish charcuterie and cheese platter including the famed “pata negra” Iberico de Bellota ham and a pitcher of house-made sangria and you’ll forget you’re still in the desert. –Brock Radke
The new Jade Asian Kitchen & Noodles (JW Marriott Las Vegas and Rampart Casino, 221 N. Rampart Blvd., 702.869.7900) finds the balance between the type of restaurant that satisfies the revolving door of tourists and conventioneers and an easy-access destination that gives locals a reason to come back again and again. Chef Ayoung Chang’s menu samples favorites from China, Japan and Korea, and the gorgeously appointed restaurant is large enough to offer a variety of experiences. There are teppanyaki tables, a sushi bar, a noodle bar and a traditional booze bar that opens onto a large patio with a waterfall view. –C. Moon Reed
#trending Of course you want fries with that. At Frites (Excalibur, 702.840.3440), an airstream trailer food truck in the Excalibur’s food court, fries are the main attraction, not dismissed as an obligatory side dish. Load the crispy potatoes up with Kansas City-style barbecue-sauced chicken, bacon, cheddar cheese and caramelized onions. If you’re a purist, try one of the house flavors, sprinkled with everything bagel mix, Cajun seasoning or truffle flavor, and feel free to add a fried egg and get a root beer float to wash it all down. –BR

The Big Blues Bender has been instrumental in Las Vegas’ evolution into the Music Festival Capital of the World in the course of annually drawing blues lovers to celebrate their sacred sound. Its new home at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino enables the Big Blues Bender to offer more poolside concerts, headliners and rising talent than before, expanding on the blueprint it established five years ago. More than 50 acts on five stages in four days create an atmosphere that feels like a musical family reunion.

That’s not just because the offspring of several original Allman Brothers perform on closing night at the Joint. Gov’t Mule, Robert Cray, Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul, and the Allman Betts Band headline the Hard Rock’s big venue, respectively, Thursday through Sunday nights before a Woodstock tribute jam, One Night on Yasgur’s Farm, brings an all-star lineup onstage. Some musicians have several scheduled appearances, while others back up their blues brethren when they aren’t in the spotlight themselves. To set things off right, Blues Bender scheduled Rev. Billy C. Wirtz to bless the proceedings with sardonic spirituality Thursday at 2 p.m. on the casino stage, followed by a first-day lineup that includes Blues Brothers sax man Blue Lou Marini with Red Young, pianist Leon Blue, and the first Howl at the Moon Jam.

Singer Keith Urban turns his talents to Vegas By Jason Harris
Anyone who calls Keith Urban a country music star is vastly underestimating the position the Whangarei, New Zealandborn singer has carved out for himself in the current musical landscape. Urban has crossed over long ago and transcends whatever genre he was originally categorized in when he released his first album in the United States and his second selftitled album in 1999. The rocket took off with that record, with Urban captaining the ship straight to the pop and country stratosphere. Multiple hits were featured, most notably “But For the Grace Of God,” a twangy, fiddle-backed modern country track that was Urban’s first No. 1 on the country charts. It would be far from his last. Urban really became a mainstream act with his 2002 hit single “Somebody Like You,” a catchy, guitar-driven ditty showcasing Urban’s skills on the axe with the refrain you have no choice but to sing, “Yeah, I wanna feel the sunshine / Shinin’ down on me and you / When you put your arms around me / You know there’s nothing in this world I can’t do.” The song became so popular it was named the No. 1 country song of early

Fans won’t be left high and dry with Def Leppard residency By MATT JACOB
44 9.1.19 LasVegasMagazine.com
Most rock fans are aware that Def Leppard’s Hysteria is one of the top-selling albums in history. Some are even aware that the groundbreaking 1987 release took years to make because of a series of misfortunes, most notably a car accident in which drummer Rick Allen lost his left arm. But aside from the band’s most diehard fans, few know the fascinating, almost impossible-to-believe backstory about the making of one of rock’s most iconic albums. In honor of Def Leppard’s second Las Vegas residency—which will feature songs from Hysteria—we invite to grab your Aqua Net, slip on your jean jacket and check out five strange-buttrue facts about an enduring pop-rock classic.
1. Anyone want a job? Def Leppard broke worldwide with their 1983 release Pyromania, produced by Robert John “Mutt” Lange, the man behind AC/DC’s monster album Back in Black. The British quintet wanted Lange back at the controls for Pyromania’s follow-up, but the burned-out producer wanted a break. A partnership with Meat Loaf songwriter/producer Jim Steinman failed miserably, as did the band’s attempt at self-producing. Desperate, they reached out to Lange, and in late 1985, he agreed to return on one condition: Everything recorded to that point would be scrapped. 2. Feet, don’t fail me now. Following his tragic accident on New Year’s Eve 1984, Allen
began conceptualizing the custom electronic drum kit he would eventually use first on Hysteria … and he did it from his hospital bed. After nurses placed a foam pad under Allen’s feet to keep him from sliding down the bed, the drummer worked on double-foot tapping techniques on the pad, using his left foot to play the parts his left hand once played. Within months, Allen was back with his bandmates laying down tracks in the studio. 3. They needed a hit—scratch that, lots of them... Because of numerous delays and Lange’s meticulousness in the studio, by the time Hysteria saw the light of day in August 1987, the band had run up a bill approaching a

reported $5 million. Translation: They needed to sell millions of copies just to break even—a prospect that looked bleak when the first single “Women” flopped. 4. … And the biggest hit almost never happened. After nearly four years, the 11-song album was finally in the can when Lange overheard lead singer Joe Elliott plucking a catchy riff on his guitar. Lange loved what he heard and ordered the band to turn the riff into the album’s 12th song: “Pour Some Sugar on Me.” Nearly a year after the album hit the shelves, “Sugar” was released as a single, quickly blew up on radio and MTV, and eventually became a rock anthem.
5. Play on (and on). At nearly 63 minutes, Hysteria was one of longest vinyl recordings in history. Turns out all that space was needed, as the album spawned an unprecedented seven singles. Those hits helped Hysteria sell more than 25 million copies worldwide, which helped the band pay its tab—and then some.
