Rock N' Roll Fantasy Camp lineup announced

The lineup for the 2009 Hollywood edition of the Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp has been announced, according to Billboard. The camp will take place from April 29th to May 3rd and will feature such high-profile counselors as Velvet Revolver and ex-Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan; Grand Funk Railroad co-founder Mark Farner; former Kiss lead guitarist Bruce Kulick; the Stray Cats' Slim Jim Phantom; Plastic Ono Band and Yes drummer Alan White; Paul McCartney's guitarist Rusty Anderson; and producer Mark Hudson, who's best known for his work with Ringo Starr, Aerosmith and Ozzy Osbourne.

As in years past, the campers will organize into bands and record an original song produced by the legendary Eddie Kramer at the Capitol Records Studios, as well as perform a gig at the historic Whisky A Go-Go on L.A.'s Sunset Strip.

Mark Farner, a longtime veteran counselor at the Fantasy Camp, was asked if the experience is rewarding for him: [ Click to listen if you have a backstage pass] "Yes it is. It's rewarding, because you see it in their face, you have somebody right there in front of you that's actually--you know, a hundred percent of their attention is on what you're saying and, and they want to know. They've paid money -- some serious money -- to find out what it is that you're gonna tell them, and they are very attentive. And it's very rewarding for me as a musician to be an instructor in fantasy camp."
