November 04, 2015 Bonus Track - We are Guitar Heroes
Guitar Hero Live and Rock Band 4 recently hit stores. They are the latest versions of the popular music videogames. But how do they compare to actually playing guitar? And do they make the player feel like a rock star?
Dad Rock hosts Patrick Foster and Jim Lenahan put Guitar Hero Live to the test, with special guest Kevin Spain of USA TODAY's NBA A to Z podcast.

What are the songs that haunt you? That cut deep into your soul? That stir up dark emotions you didn't even know you had inside you?
For the Halloween season, we explore the most chilling music ever put to tape. Hosts Patrick Foster and Jim Lenahan discuss songs that are hard to listen to a second time. Some are lyrically horrifying, some are musically creepy and some just bring up bad associations.
