Guns 'N Roses, Motley Crue men join Camp Freddy in LA
Sex Pistols and The Cult also join in on hard-rock extravaganza
Slash of Guns N' Roses, Tommy Lee of Motley Crue and Chester Bennington of Linkin Park joined all-star cover band Camp Freddy last night (May 8) for their show at the Roxy in Los Angeles
Sex Pistols' Steve Jones and drummer Paul Cook -- who took the stage with the band last week, as previously reported --also joined in on the hard-rock romp, along with Billy Duffy of The Cult, Duff McKagan of Guns N' Roses and Jerry Cantrell of Alice In Chains.
This was the second of the four-night Roxy residency for Camp Freddy, which features Billy Morrison (The Cult), Dave Navarro (, Red Hot Chili Peppers), Matt Sorum (, Velvet Revolver), Donovan Leitch (son of singer Donovan), and Chris Chaney ().
The band performed cover songs by their guest performers as well as Led Zeppelin and Oasis, with their former Creation Records boss Alan McGee looking on.
The evening culminated with an explosive performance of Guns N' Roses' 'Paradise City' featuring Slash and Navarro on guitar, Sorum on drums, McKagan on bass, and Bennington on vocals. With so many musicians on stage, Navarro quipped, "Now can someone please find Slash a guitar--is that so hard?"
