"Say, could you play a little guitar for us, Sam?"Roadies are clearly unsung heroes of rock 'n' roll. Without these guys there would be none of the big productions we see at our favorite concerts. Join Genghis & Ragman as they discuss the importance of the road crew and how they can make or break a performance. Next, the boys rounded up guitar slinger Sam Totman from Dragonforce, for a heart to heart who discussed the band's latest release, Maximum Overload, and the lads' future tour plans.
