This year's pre-Oscar Global Green event at Avalon Hollywood on Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010, brought out the likes of some great talents, including Mia Maestro and Good Charlotte's Joel and Benji Madden, but in my opinion, nothing tops a good Camp Freddy show. I've had the privilege of seeing these bad boys perform on numerous occasions and they never fail to entertain and provide the audience with some damned sexy vocals thanks to Donovan Lietch and Mark McGrath, sick shreds by Billy Morrison (also vocals), Billy Gibbons, and Steve Stevens, and last but not least, killer guitar and base lines that flow seamlessly from one song to the next bought to you by one of the band's core members, Dave Navarro. Oh, and let's not forget Matt Sorum on drums. I mean, could you ask for a better team of musicians? Most of these guys make up the core crew of the supergroup, but it never gets old watching some of the greatest musicians of our generation get up on stage and play all of your favorite rock n' roll covers.
The boys graced the audience with their presence at Global Green on Wednesday, following Joel and Benji's performance, and played an awesomely bad-ass set filled with faves like Cheap Trick's "Surrender," and Billy Idol's "Rebel Yell," and I've gotta say, it really doesn't get any better than "Rebel Yell" performed live with Steve Stevens on guitar. He's still got it! Oh yeah, and Juliette Lewis joined the band as well, belting out some bitchin' vocals at the end of Camp Freddy's set. The entire show from start to finish was as high-energy as it gets, and lucky for us Los Angeleans, Camp Freddy performs often and are a pretty accessible band if you know where to look for 'em. So basically, if you live in Los Angeles and you haven't seen Camp Freddy yet, what the hell are you thinking?! Get out from under that damn rock and go catch a show!
