Episode Synopsis:
In this episode, Nick and Roger discuss the issue of bands losing members, with some continuing on and others calling it quits. The Out of Focus Guys draw specifically on the recent release of the album From Zero, by Linkin Park, the first release of new material without Chester Bennington, as well as several examples of other bands that have carried on in similar fashion and with great success as well as the benefits of giving such bands/albums a fair chance before shutting them down.
