Chris Barnes and Zaheed Bardai join Debbie Elicksen for a philosophical discussion about hard rock and metal music. This music gets a bum rap at times, challenges the norms, and gives the listener relief from negative emotions. This music embraces individuality, while embracing all genres. Some might consider it a subculture, but you know if someone is wearing a metal t-shirt, you've found your tribe.
