RRFC - NEW YORK
What a week in New York City we just had!
� I want to extend my sincerest appreciation to all the Rock Star Counselors, but especially to Paul Stanley of KISS, for giving Rock and Roll Fantasy camp attendees a most memorable experience, especially at the final night�s show at BB Kings. The Camp, with so many guest stars including Paul Shaffer, Max Weinberg, Leslie West, Glenn Hughes, and Mark Farner, once again proved to be another life changing experience for our Camper Rockers. A full report is available on the website with more to come in the newsletters in weeks ahead.

BB Kings
Concert Review
9/3/07

Think of Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp like a school of rock, only the camp counselors or teachers are famous rock stars and the students are adult musicians with the means to make their rock dreams come true. And come true they did. The excitement and fun onstage was contagious as the audience was swept away by the pure bombastic joy both the stars and their students shared onstage. The students were divided into ten bands, each one coached by their rock star teacher. Every student on stage was totally psyched to be up there performing with their legendary leaders. Each band did two covers and an original song that they wrote for the event. It was fascinating and interesting to see how each of the rock star counselors arranged and conducted their bands according to their vision of what rock should be. It gave you real insight into the inner workings of a successful act. And some of the performances were off the hook. For starters Paul Stanley was simply awesome. He was there to accompany each band on a song or two.  No rock star posturing at all. There he suddenly appeared onstage, waved to the audience and launched into the first verse of �Honky Tonk Woman� followed by a long night of killer vocalizing. You could tell Paul was really giving it his all, singing leads, doing double leads and keeping his harmonies right on target. His voice was really in great shape for the whole affair. He came off humble and really acted like the perfect team player. But he didn�t have to grandstand or posture to dominate the stage because his presence and voice commanded attention as his star power is undeniable. Rocking arenas around the world for thirty years will do that to a guy. He wasn�t doing his Kiss moves except for a few trademark hand movements. He reminded me of those great vocal stylists like Sinatra who just got better and better with age. Knowing just how to work his voice and his killer rock phrasing he sounded better than ever and was in total control of his technique. He did some Kiss songs which shows how great and timeless those rock anthems really are. But what really blew me away was his cover of the Ides Of March song �vehicle�. It showed some of the roots of the bluesy soul aspects in his style. Pumped up by the amazing David Letterman horn section the song took off into the stratosphere. The horns were mesmerizing and lifted up every song they played on. Their talent and precision was unstoppable. Simon Kirk, drummer from Bad Company probably led the tightest band. He made sure his drummers were rock solid so he also showcased his fabulous bass playing, great sense of humor and fab vocals. For me another highlight of the show was Deep Purples Glenn Hughes. His enthusiasm was infectious and his voice powerful stuff hitting inhumanly high notes and then ending with a scream.What vocal range as his nuclear blast of an earth shattering sound was a hard rockers dream scream.And boy he did that a lot along with some great bass playing. .Marc Hudson who appeared from time to time with his multicolored beard and bizarre outfit appeared to be the eccentric popmeister that he is. He seemed to be channeling John Lennon and he did a pretty good job. Leslie West came out for a brief two songs doing a solo version of Blowin in the Wind with a vocal that could melt the paint off the walls. Then went into a version of �Mississippi  Queen� that gave a new meaning to the word LOUD.Bruce Kulik was also fantastic, hot licks galore, versatile and could effortlessly fit in with any band. Spike Edny, Queens keyboardist had the demeanor of a sarcastic professor as he cued the band from behind the keyboard. Jane Wiedlin of the Go Go�s still has the cute rocker market cornered. There was also a fourteen year old who thought he was a little Joe Perry stepping onstage every now and then playing the same blistering Slash, Page, and Joe Perry licks every time. Hey he�s only fourteen, he will be a lot more versatile by the time he is sixteen.

Then came the super jam starting with Mark Farner and Stanley brilliantly harmonizing on the Grand Funk classic �My Captain�. Farner was also in top form, electrifying as it was great to see him marching across the stage playing his classic hit. Glenn Hughes came back to play one of the heaviest smoke on the waters  that have ever been done. Kulick played a blistering solo on that one. Corky Lang from Mountain also played some amazing drums and seemed to be having a ball dancing around the stage, and playing cowbell while boogieing between two sexy rock chicks.Gary Burr also did some great Beatle vocals and guitar work. Hudson once again in his notable Lennon style led the finale which was a rousing version of Instant Karma. and that�s how I felt as I left the show. Although the Karma lasted long into the night.

Dear Rock Stars,

The upcoming Rock �n Roll Fantasy Camp�s 10th Anniversary celebration will be in Las Vegas!� Taking place at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and House of Blues, Rock �n Roll Fantasy Camp invades Sin City from November 7-11th, 2007 and it promises to be the best one yet.� The camp will run from Wednesday at 5pm to Sunday at midnight over Veterans's Day weekend. Enrollment has already started off with a bang with campers from all over the world, including the US, Ireland, UK, and South America, having already signed up.�

The Vegas lineup of Slash, Roger Daltrey, Joe Walsh, Jack Bruce, Vince Neal, Nico McBrain, Simon Kirke, and over 20 rock legends promises to be an incredible experience for all. �For first time campers you�ll be witnessing what has made RRFC the most incredible rock and roll experience for the last 10 years.� For returning campers, you will once again live the dream.

 

Having the opportunity to not only meet these amazing rock stars but to interact, jam and learn techniques of your instrument from the best musicians in the world is unprecedented. �At the last camp I was amazed watching Paul Schaffer put the Rock Stars through a rehearsal in front of the entire camp that changed many perspectives about the rehearsal process and the quest for perfection of music.�

You will have the once in a life time experience in talking to Slash one-on-one about the guitar and jamming on White Room and Sunshine of Your Love with Jack Bruce of CREAM.� Legendary guitarist Joe Walsh, who�s band, THE EAGLES, is releasing a cd for the first time in 20 years, will also be on hand to give tips and jam with campers. �To be in a room with this genius who has written and recorded some of the biggest anthems in Rock & Roll like Funk 49 (James Gang) and Life in the Fast Lane (EAGLES) will be among the highlights or our 10th Anniversary Camp.� I�ve had the privilege to have spent lots of time with Joe over the years and his insight into the music has taught me more about rock and roll than anyone I�ve ever worked with. �

Of course, our Las Vegas celebration would not be complete without Roger Daltrey, the legendary front man for THE WHO!� Roger has helped me create Rock Camp to what it has become today. �This will be Roger�s 4th Camp since 2002 and his tireless efforts and performances with the campers has given so many of our past attendees the extra push needed to bring music to the forefront of their lives.� His passion about music has allowed many of the campers he�s touched to find the happiness and passion they possessed inside of themselves to come out .

However, while we�re bringing this incredible array of talent to Las Vegas in November, the true superstars at Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp are YOU, the Rockers who come to camp to work hard on your music regardless of whether you�ve played for one month or 35 years.� Previous attendees come from all walks of life including students, housewives, hobbyists and captains of industry.� The friends that you�ll meet at the Camp and in your band will become lifelong friends because you all have one thing in common: THE MUSIC .

The work that our campers put into preparing themselves for this experience begins the moment you sign up when you begin to be treated like the Rock Star you�ve always wanted to be.� We�ve eliminated the audition process so that immediately as you come to camp you enter a studio with your rock star counselors and you begin jamming to the 2 songs you were sent in advance from your counselor. �After several days of rehearsing, jamming and preparing, you�ll be ready to rock the stage at the House of Blues at the Mandalay Bay Hotel for the end of camp concert.� The final concert in New York, now called CAMPALOOZA, proved to be the best ever.� Take a look at what the Campers had to say minutes after leaving the stage at BB Kings. (see link below)

I�m looking forward to welcoming all our campers, old and new, who truly want to live this once in a life time experience. �To the spouses who give this as a gift, your creativity is amazing. �At the last camp a wife gave her husband a plane ticket to New York City on the first day of camp and told him that WE�RE going to rock and roll fantasy camp�.� Another one of my favorite camper comments was from a couple who have attended a few camps and told me that this camp offers the best marital therapy:� �Where can my husband and I go away for 5 days together a relive our college sweetheart days and rock out all day?�

Don�t be left out!� We had to turn away potential campers from the New York City Camp as the Camp sold out very quickly.� Space in our incredible 10th Anniversary celebration is limited, so please call us now at 888-ROC-BAND or download the registration form here.� As an added incentive, for those that sign up prior to October 1st, we are offering exclusive discounts of $750 for previous campers and $500 for new campers.�

Please join me in celebrating my 10th anniversary. I promise to make it the greatest experience ever. �Please feel free to call the office and sign up and speak to me personally.

Love and light

SLASH slated for
Las Vegas

Saul Hudson, mainly known as Slash, was born on July 23, 1965, and was raised in Stoke-on-Trent. Both his parents worked in the entertainment business, his mother being a clothing designer (she did some of David Bowie's costumes) and his father being an art director for a record company. When Slash was 11 he moved with his mother to Los Angeles, leaving his father behind in England, although he eventually joined them in L.A. years later. Slash became sort of an outsider at school since he didn't really fit in with other kids. In the mid 70s his parents separated and Slash moved in with his grandmother. During this time Slash got interested in BMX riding, and went on to win several awards and money in competitions.

When he was 15 he got his first guitar, and his schoolwork started to go downhill as he skipped class to sit playing guitar all day. Slash eventually got so tired of school that he dropped out in 11th grade. As he lived in Los Angeles, a city flourishing with new, young rock bands, he quickly got in touch with people to jam with. After meeting Steven Adler the two of them formed a band called Road Crew. Then he met Izzy Stradlin who played in a band with Axl Rose, and after hearing Axl sing live, he was set on getting him in his band. Soon a bass player answered one of Slash's ads in the paper, and Slash (guitar), Steven (drums), Izzy (guitar), Axl (vocals) and Duff McKagan (bass) formed Guns N' Roses in 1986. Soon enough, GNR were known across the globe as the new rock n' roll sensation. Album sales went sky high and the band was having a blast on their world tours, and during this time Slash worked with artists like Michael Jackson on the Dangerous album and Lenny Kravitz, just to name two. But after the Use Your Illusion tour, GNR decided to take a break. Slash however, needed to play music and so he formed his own band Slash's Snakepit. With the success of this bands album It's Five O'Clock Somewhere (1995), Slash told the public that Slash's Snakepit would be back again.

During this time Slash and Axl were having some heated arguments about Guns N' Roses and what would happen next. Guns N' Roses as we knew them then, was terminated by the result as Slash decided to leave the band, handing all rights of the band name over to Axl. After this Slash did a few gigs here and there, formed a band called Blues Ball who played blues covers, and even brought back Slash's Snakepit as he said he would, although they didn't last very long this time either. In 2000, Slash met Perla Ferrar and on October 15, 2001, married her. It's not surprising that he wore black leather pants, a white shirt and his faithful black leather jacket to the wedding! His new status as a married man didn't slow him down, though. In 2003, Velvet Revolver was formed by the former members of Guns N' Roses; Slash, Duff and Matt (who replaced Steven in 1990), Scott Weiland (vocals) from Stone Temple Pilots and Dave Kushner (guitar) from Wasted Youth. Velvet Revolver's debut album Contraband (2004) was long-awaited and sold incredibly well.

They are now going to show up on the second Live Aid concert along with many other huge artists, which will be held in London. Velvet Revolver's plans to become a rock band of great magnitude are definitely in the works, and Slash himself has earned his title as one of the greatest rock n' roll guitar players in history.

Dear Rock Stars,

I'd like to welcome our new subscribers. Please check out the links below on our latest articles in Classic Rock Magazine and other publications.�

There�s only a week to go for the upcoming New York Rock �n Roll Fantasy Camp and this one is packed with excitement from the minute you walk into the studio on Thursday until you walk offstage on Monday night at BB King�s.�

We�ve made a few of modifications to maximize your experience at camp, like eliminating the individual audition process and substituted it with a band audition.� Now you get to start the camp having practiced the songs so you can jump right into the studio.� Each band with be assigned to a rock star counselor and asked to practice previously selected songs.�

On opening night Paul Shaffer will conduct a master class followed by a jam and Q&A session with special guest, this year�s Rock �n Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Ronnie Spector.� Then each band will perform on stage with a special guest and their counselor, followed by an all star counselor jam.� And that�s just the first night!

The closing night at BB King�s will feature the legendary Paul Stanley of KISS performing with each band and the Late Show horn section.�Mark Farner will lead the counselor jam with all his Grand Funk Railroad hits along with the hits of the other counselors.� Leslie West will also be dropping by, along with celebrities from TV and movie stars.� Our memorabilia auction, where the proceeds go to charity, is an attraction in and of itself.� Tickets for BB King�s are available through the home office or Ticketmaster.�

We still have room for a keyboardist and a vocalist and welcome you to register anytime before camp.

Corporate Band Challenge

On November 12th, we�re hosting our first Corporate Band Challenge at the Joint, at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.� If your company has a band and you�d like to enter them in this competition, contact Ed Johnson, former president of Heinz, (ed@rockcamp.com) for more information.

Thanks for all of your support!

Best Regards,

Joe Walsh slated for
Las Vegas

The Las Vegas camp is filling up fast so register now to reserve a spot.� It�s taking place at the Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino and the House of Blues on November 7th-11th, 2007 and is in celebration of our 10th anniversary.�

Joe Walsh will be joining us for the Las Vegas camp before he goes on tour with the Eagles later this year.  He started out in James Gang in the late 60's with hits such as "Funk #49" and "Walk Away".  He is best known for his work with The Eagles of "Hotel California" fame and has had a successful solo career with such hits as "Life is Good".   Joe, an avid attendee of Major League Baseball Fantasy Camp, taught me rock 'n roll 101 years ago and you can look forward to rubbing elbows with him at camp.

Iron Maiden�s Nicko McBrain will also be in attendance.� Nicko told me the band will be embarking on a worldwide tour in 2008.�

Trust me, this is only a partial list of the rock �n roll legends that will be appearing at the Las Vegas camp to help us celebrate our landmark 10th anniversary.� Before we open registration to the general public, we are offering this in advance to past campers and newsletter subscribers so sign up soon before we release the news of this event to the masses!�

Dear Rock Stars,

I'm proud to announce that musical genius, Paul Shaffer, is coming to the New York City Rock 'n Roll Fantasy Camp this Labor Day Weekend to share his musical knowledge, teach a master class and jam with the campers and counselors!  Paul, a thirty year veteran in the music business, has played and worked with the best musicians in the world, including Eric Clapton, BB King and Robert Plant.  You can see him nightly on the Late Show with David Letterman Click here to check out his bio and sign up now for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
 

Our pal Paul Stanley is doing great. Paul said, " I'm absolutely fine and will be at Fantasy Camp primed, pumped and ready to give everyone everything they're expecting".  Paul is such a great addition to this upcoming rock camp as he'll be giving so much of his music knowledge to campers.  It's truly a privilege to be able to perform and jam with him.  You don't have to be a KISS fan alone to live the dream. Paul is going to sing not only KISS songs but hits from Led Zeppelin, Queen and Cream. 

As far as availability for this camp goes,we're filling up fastWe've already sold out of drum spots but are still welcoming vocalists, bass players, keyboardists, horn players, tambourine players and even triangle players!

I am happy to welcome back our great drum counselor Sandy Gennaro. Sandy, who has an
amazing career having played with everyone from Joan Jett to the Monkees, is such an amazing drum teacher that a recent camper flew him down to Panama for a weekend of lessons. 

 
We're anticipating the big night at B.B. KING'S which is going to be a star studded event with lots of special guests, including the horn section from the Letterman show who will be joining us after their taping of the show.  Tickets are still available to the general public.
