January 22, 2009

Mark McGrath (SUGAR RAY),Billy Duffy (THE CULT),Corey Taylor (SLIPKNOT),Steve Stevens (BILLY IDOL),Shaun White (pro snowboarder/skateboarder) and Billy Gibbons (ZZ TOP) joined CAMP FREDDY for the band's January 19 performance at the Sundance Film Festival at Harry O's in Park City, Utah.

CAMP FREDDY is the Los Angeles-based "jam" band featuring Dave Navarro (ex-JANE'S ADDICTION, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS),Billy Morrison (ex-THE CULT bassist, current CIRCUS DIABLO vocalist),Matt Sorum (VELVET REVOLVER, ex-GUNS N' ROSES),Donovan Leitch (son of legendary folk singer Donovan),and Chris Chaney (JANE'S ADDICTION, ALANIS MORRISETTE). (Note: Navarro did not perform with CAMP FREDDY at the Sundance Film Festival due to "previous commitments.")

According to The Salt Lake Tribune, some of the highlights of the January 19 show were as follows:

* Gibbons and the band launching into a heavy version of JIMI HENDRIX's "Foxy Lady" that initially sounded like they were going to cover "Nookie"
* Stevens playing the guitar behind his head during two IDOL songs, "Rebel Yell" and "White Wedding"
* McGrath doing his best Johnny Rotten impression when singing the SEX PISTOLS' "EMI"
* The band dedicating a cover of THE CARS' "Just What I Needed" to Barack Obama
* Taylor screaming a manic version of MOTÖRHEAD's "Ace of Spades", and then remarking, "I just had a fucking aneurysm"
* McGrath saying Robert Redford requested the band play TED NUGENT, so they played "Cat Scratch Fever"
* The entire band closing with THE STOOGES' "I Wanna Be Your Dog"
