This left very little time for the finale, which, based on what did air, was an arena-sized rock show that brought together some exciting and unlikely characters from all corners of the genre. (A quick shout-out to Buckingham, who rocked out to NIN's "Copy of A" and QOTSA's "My God is the Sun"  like he was playing "The Chain.")
