Setting Throne Room (Williams) aside, you still have next year's Appetite for Destruction, and, Hysteria, as well as everything that the fictional band Wyld Stallyns will write. But before we begin, and it's a big but, the National Anthem isn't even close to the most magnificently triumphant music ever created. They're like, 'Hey Steve, you're the fingers of rock!
