Fast forward to the 9:05 mark in this video and tell me if the guy yelling is Jon Schaffer. He's wearing a homemade IE shirt so I think it is.

It is him.

Or it's his number one fan / stalker / random dead-ringer who wears Iced Earth shirts two years before their debut album. That Geraldo was shot in 1988.

Good catch. I certainly wouldn't have recognized him. Did you know he was in there somewhere or did you just happen to notice him?

I don't know if that's Jon, but it was nice to see Joey Belladonna being lead away by police officers at the 1:20 mark....LOL

I'm pretty sure it's him, kind of weird stuff there.

I noticed him by chance. I guess he just has one of those faces.

Just in time for Halloween, I sent for a new copy of the Horror Show album.

Yep that is him...other than that it's funny seeing King Diamond being interviewed on Geraldo.

I always thought this was pretty common knowledge of Shaffer's cameo. Didn't know about Steve Flynn being in there too.

I always laugh when I think about when this first aired back in the day. First off, I hated Geraldo with a passion after that Capone's Vaults disaster (growing up in Indiana near Chicago we took Capone lore pretty seriously). Secondly, at the time I was dating a girl who got completely freaked out after watching this. She called me after crying and upset because I listened to this stuff and it would be a gateway to hell or something. Needless to say I just laughed at her.

The other thing I always remember from this was my mom's comment that "if Satan is working through a guy in Kiss make-up using bad props then I doubt the God-fearing folks have anything to get too worried about".

God, I remember my whole family sitting around the tv watching that live show for a whole lotta nothin'. What a bunch of hype and build-up with absolutley no payoff in the end.
