  October 25, 2008 – John McCain isn't doing so well these days, but a few other old-timers had a triumphant week on SPIN.com: Metallica kicked off their world tour, Eminem rapped about hip-hop, and a little band named Guns N' Roses (ever heard of 'em?) released their first single since Ally McBeal was on TV.

And SPIN editors certainly had a lot on their minds: Against Me!'s live performance, Feist's influence on childrens' musical tastes, Oasis' staying power, MGMT's seriousness (of lack thereof), and more -- but thankfully, Joe the Plumber isn't included. …
