    1. In case you are wondering:

      – Slash (who knows show tunes)
      – Cheap Trick’s Rick Nielsen (who is of course attached to the hat)
      – ZZ Top’s Dusty Hill (yea he kept his beard)
      – Matthew Sweet (which is why I tuned in!)
      – The Ramones’ Joey Ramone (who actually did play guitar badly and cracked the guys up)
      – Lisa Loeb (of course she would know a chess club guy)
      – Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine (still too fast Dave!)
      – Roy Clark (who plays fiddle but Christ, could that man play a guitar)
      – Jonny Lang (still mowing lawns in his down time)
      – The Resonator’s Michael Stanley (RIP to some great Midwest sound)
      – The Eagles’ Joe Walsh. (some sloppy nobody from some 70’s FM band)

    2. I hate that Drew Carey Show isn’t streaming anywhere and doesn’t get the nostalgia hype of some of its peers; it was a great show.

    3. If this is the cut that aired; amazing of the producer (which I presume is Carey?) to include the blooper version of the scene with Joey Ramone. So pure and funny seeing them crack up to this lovable goofball. I pretty sure I’ve never seen another sitcom where they have included a scene where all the main actors crack up like this.
