Stars come out for Rock 'n' Roll Camp
AP, Sep 18, 2007 4:51 pm PDTAspiring rockers who want to share the stage with Slash, Roger Daltrey, Joe Walsh and other legendary musicians will get their chance this fall at the 10th anniversary Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp.
The camp pairs participants with rock stars for songwriting, recording and jam sessions. The event culminates with a "Campalooza" concert at the House of Blues in Las Vegas.
Other rockers on hand to mentor campers this year include Vince Neil of Motley Crue, Simon Kirke of Bad Company, Alan White of Yes and Bruce Kulick of Kiss.
Past participant Paul Stanley of Kiss said the camp "isn't just a fantasy of the people who attend, it's my fantasy too. It's a way for me to say thank you to fans. And, getting up and playing with people with such exuberance and energy is really a gift to me as well."
Besides making music with legends, campers can take business courses and learn the ins and outs of professional recording. It is scheduled for Nov. 7 through 11 at the Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.
