'American Idol' Metalhead JAMES DURBIN Performs Acoustically On FOX NEWS (Video)

November 4, 2011

Video footage of "American Idol" finalist James Durbin performing an acoustic version of his new single, "Love Me Bad", in the studios of Fox News can be seen below. The comes off Durbin's debut album "Memories Of A Beautiful Disaster", which is scheduled for release on November 21 via Wind-Up Records.

Unforgettable performances on the "Idol" stage with legends such as JUDAS PRIEST and Zakk Wylde led Durbin's own "Idols" to support the rocker's first-ever release, including Mick Mars of MTLEY CRE, songwriters James Michael (SIXX: A.M., MTLEY CRE) and Marti Frederiksen (AEROSMITH, BUCKCHERRY, OZZY OSBOURNE),along with Swedish rock band HARDCORE SUPERSTAR. Durbin, who co-wrote five of the albums tracks exclaimed it was "surreal" to be working with this bevy of rock royalty and recalls, "When Mick Mars started shredding on his guitar I literally lost my mind." The long-time MTLEY CRE fan continued saying, "He's a true rock legend and he's playing on my record. It doesn't get any cooler than that." Mick Mars echoed the same fervor, "It was sick to have played on James' debut album. To be the only featured guest artist on the record was really cool as I know a lot of others wanted to be on it. James Durbin kicks ass; he's the real deal."
