He's going to be awesome in the "My Dinner with Andre" remake, directed by McG.

Seems like a cool guy, great stories, etc. But good god, that SuperHeavy song is absolutely fucking awful.

I will be very happy if Mr. Friedman calls Chicago his home next year.

One word: UFO. One of the best hard-rock bands ever, yet far-too unknown. Tell me this doesn't rock the fuck out.

Michael Rooker in Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer.

Their second album is pretty decent. I run to a few of the songs on it. Not exactly the highest praise but, you know…

Here's my question: Does Ryan Adams still freak the fuck out when people yell, "Play 'Summer of '69!!!" at his concerts? Because there's one way to beat that: Begin the concert with an awesome version of that tune.

I know, I know. "The Dude." But jeebus, did you see "The Fabulous Baker Boys"? I absolutely love that movie. Didn't see it for several years, but put it on recently and it completely holds up. Michelle Pfeiffer's best role, bar none.

High Tension almost pulled off an awesome feat — it almost successfully reinvented the wheel for a slasher flick. I thought the killings were a little over the top (spoiler alert: shotgunning the kid in the field seemed a little too much), but otherwise it was incredibly suspenseful.

Yes, but let us not forget the contributions of Necrobutcher. What exactly does he do, again?

I have no problem with you mentioning your wife. I find her attractive and I enjoy engaging in coitus with her. So it's all good.

I am heartened by all the love Herr Schenker is getting here. The dude is seriously brilliant, although clearly troubled. It's a shame he left UFO when he did — they might have been huge. It's fairly criminal how little pub they got — they were a great band, as proved by the awesomeness that is "Strangers in the…

They have a few various and sundry other live recordings, but I was talking about "Strangers in the Night." And "I'm a Loser" is awesome, also. As my handle indicates, I'm kind of a UFO fan. But I still think, objectively, any list of the best rock guitarists that doesn't include Michael Schenker is bullshit.

Agreed, although actually I might put Lights Out's solo ahead of it. (We're both talking live versions, yes?)

Joe Elliott is a-ok with me
I'm not much of a Lep fan, but Elliott is a big UFO fan. And anyone who likes UFO knows what's up.

Serious question
Can anyone tell me what "Hate Paper Doll" is about? I've tried to figure it out, and I don't have a clue.

I disagree.

Michael Schenker is the gold standard for hard-rock guitarists.
