Wilk and Tm C are the main reason why i listen to Rage.
Wilk is extremely basic. Which is why I feel I can emulate him. Not a knock, it works fine. He provides exactly what the songs need.
his work on audioslave with Timmy C is just wonderful. Besides his recording with Black Sabbath.

Also i saw him live with Smashing Pumpkins and it was great. A wide range of styles.

You think he’s more in the mindset of playing defense or offense with that gun?

I haven't listened to RATM for a long time but if I were to make a retrospective/playlist-type thing this would be really close to my list. I'd probably dump "Revolver" and add "No Shelter," and maybe another track from Battle of Los Angeles.

Are you ever tempted to save some key strokes and drop the quotation marks, KD?

Ashes in the Fall needs to be in any RATM mix.

Not even a little. That's how you punctuate song titles!

Otherwise we'd not know what you were referring to!

I was only able to listen to the first couple of tracks on Evil Empire last week. Based on that small sample size I think it's their best sounding record.
