All Request Live features tracks performed live, in-studio by Ween and their touring band as part of a web radio broadcast, playing songs selected by fans on the band's message board. Among the tracks performed are all three officially released parts of "The Stallion" (along with the previously unreleased parts four and five), fan-favorites "Awesome Sound" and "Demon Sweat," a slightly expanded version of the drug-addled skit "Pollo Asado," and a nearly 6 minute long take on the band's infamous rejected Pizza Hut jingle "Where'd the Cheese Go?"
By the fall of 1998, MTV producers decided to merge the real-time aspect of MTV Live and the fan-controlled countdown power of Total Request into Total RequestLive, which made its official premiere from the MTV Studios in New York on September 14, 1998.
It was broadcast live from Leicester Square in London.
The Latin TRL is called Los 10+ Pedidos' (The 10 most requested) is hosted by "Gabo" in the Northern Region (Mexico) and the Central Region (Central America, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela, Chile and Bolivia) and by Cecilia in the Southern Region (Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and parts of Brazil that receive the signal) and airs everyday.
So "Total RequestLive" came about at a moment when that awareness of the Baby Boomlet as a consumer demographic hit a kind of fever pitch in our culture.
Only that really tiny, tiny elite gets on "Total RequestLive." What it does to your average record label, major record label division is it creates an intense caste system that was already there, but it makes it more.
I guess you could say "Total RequestLive" is democratic in the way that this year's election was democratic.
