Do some musicians act so goofy on stage that it takes away from a band's performance?  Guys like Robert Trujillo (Metallica) and Janick Gers (Iron Maiden) have both been known for their extra antics on stage.  Is it warranted or needed?  Tune in to hear Genghis and Ragman's thoughts.  Next, can Twisted Sister go one with out Dee Snider?  Should the band totally cancel their 50th year celebration tour, since Dee has retired?  Next Ragman goes one on one with guitarist Joel Hoekstra (TSO, ex-Night Ranger, ex-Whitesnake) to talk about his later 13 projects album From the Fade out on Frontiers on 2/27/26.  Joel talks about the song writing process within the band as well as how many of the songs came together.  All of this and much more on this episode.  So grab a beer, buckle in and get those horns uo..
