I've heard that Schenker has really gotten it together in the past few years since getting off the sauce. I sense it's probably a bit too late for a full-blown career renaissance (especially given the state of the music business), but still—good for him.

I think Sound of White Noise is one of the best albums they made up to that point, but I lost track of them after that, for some reason.

Bush wouldn't have been a good fit for the thrashier early years. By the time they came together, they were in the right place for each other, as the band was trying to get on the radio and Bush is a very melodic singer at heart.

He is apparently working with Iommi on new music right now.

Floor is also a pretty good songwriter—I wonder if Tuomas would consider incorporating her into the songwriting the way he has Marco.

Misfits would fit on this list too, with Danzig, Graves, and Only.

For what it's worth, he's always been a super great sport about it. He's always like, we tried something, it didn't work, we moved on. I've never heard about anyone involved with the band saying an unkind word about Ray Wilson.

I have always thought Belladonna's vocals were incongruent with Anthrax's sound. I think I'd like them a lot more if they'd gone with a rougher-edged vocalist.

I still love the live version of "Do You Close Your Eyes" where Blackmore destroys his guitar while Carey, Bain and Powell conduct a great three-man jam.

Not to mention Doogie White, from the '90s incarnation, and Ronnie Romero, who's going to be singing for Blackmore under the Rainbow banner this year.

He was, but he no longer is. I think this is a dubious choice for this list, as they haven't actually replaced him and could still decide to just hang it up.

I don't care. At all. If there's ever another "heel authority figure stacking the deck against babyfaces" storyline (and I'm certain there will be within a month), it'll be far, far too soon. They've been doing the same story for 19 years now, and as far as I'm concerned, they've burned it down and salted the earth.

Ahem—ARON. Maybe it was YOU who screwed up his tombstone.

No. No more McMahon family bullshit. I couldn't possibly care any less about Stephanie and Hunter's TV characters at this point.

This was the city where he made his return and was a huge face when he beat Cena, before the awful, awful booking got to him.

Of course Vince is still in charge of this show. He will be booking Raw until the day he dies. The show was better because they've got better workers now that Cesaro and Sami and AJ are around, and they're giving them time to have great matches. (That's one positive outcome of having three-plus hours to fill.) There…

And when he was in the Bullet Club, he got cheered because fans in Japan realized how fucking amazing his work is.

No Peoria, though. That seems like an upset.

Legends was pre-empted in Chicago, for what it's worth.

Legends is on this week too.
