The Morning X is continuing their search for the ultimate rock star. Listen in as Barnes, Leslie, and Jimmy continue their on-air guitar auditions to find a hired-gun replacement member for a multi-platinum rock band. The phone lines bring some unforgettable characters, including an incredibly confident, 21-year veteran player who tries to secure his spot with a cheap practice amp and way too much distortion. They then face a difficult decision at the voting table, weighing pure musical chops against the perfect "don't give a damn" rock star attitude. Plus, hear the heartbreaking update on a highly persistent caller who just can't seem to get the judges to agree on the same day.

This is from the Best of The Morning X vault.
