When did Charles go on the disabled list? I am curious who I saw play at Mayhem. I thought it was Charles but the sun was killer in my eyes in the parking lot.
I'm not critisizing. Just observing. People always say that anyone can do Charlie's stuff. Jason is doing a great job all things considered. I'm sure the Drummers here can back this up.

Because they were on the second stage. The second and third stages are always in the parking lot at Pine Knob/DTE. The sun and heat were killer that day especially around the second and third stages. DTE is an outdoor partially covered amphitheater with a ginormous hill behind it. The cheaper ticket holders have to stand or sit on the grassy hill quite a ways back from the stage. You can't put a second stage on the hill and the interior walkways around the main stage and hill are filled with vendors so that means any festival extra stages go into the parking lot. The lot is huge and connects to the nearby golf course somehow and I think they used to have skiing there in the winter.

Aside from "I Wanna Be Sedated" and "Pet Sematary" the Ramones never had anything else close to being hits.

If anybody doesn't know Jason is the drummer for Shadow's Fall. I haven't heard many songs by them but I am going to check out a few songs and buy one of their albums, I think their singer has dreads to his feet.

Those are good songs but they're not hits. This is why sometimes you'll see an artist release a "greatest hits" collection and a "best of" collection. "Hits" usually refers to mainstream success.
will Charlie be returning for the 3rd leg of the anthrax/testament/DA shows? he's playing the upcoming metal masters I assume that means he's on the mend.
Yes!
They are Ramones hits. Just like Caught In A Mosh and the rest of the bands setlist at Mayhem are Anthrax hits. I do agree with your definition of a "hit" though.
I believe he has. Jason did a couple in South America too if I'm not mistaken...
Joey told me on August 7th not to count on Charlie being back in time for this leg of the tour. I would assume that still holds true.
Update: Joey told me tonight that Charlie will be back only for the US dates. Apparently it would be too difficult for him to leave the country with the legal troubles right now. Jason will fill in for Canada/Europe. Joey said the guys wanted Gene to fill in again, but Testament refused because "Gene's performances with Testament suffered when he did double duty" (...What???).
