Ragman in Podcasts

Sure he's one dreamy Canadian, but the guy can sing his ass off too. Who is more important in the band, the guitarist or the vocalist and what happens if one leaves? Could the drummer or the bassist have the same impact? Join Genghis and Ragman as they discuss who's more critical to a lineup as well as what's currently going on in the hard rock/heavy metal world. Next, Harry Hess (ex-Harem Scarem) checks in to discuss his latest offering Living in Yesterday, and discusses the irony - or lack thereof - of recording with the majority of the HS lineup again.
