ESPN/X-GAMES party ? Camp Freddy?s fourth year performing for the X-Games. Private event.
 

Does this mean that they might start doing some touring?  Matt mentioned the possibility in an interview.

I doubt anything beyond small groupings of shows is gonna happen.

Between the core members individual schedules as well as the guests involved, it would be quite a logistical nightmare.

In light of Natasha's passing, it seems like now is the best time to do this. We at Camp Freddy have a very special friend who has also been diagnosed with a very serious condition. In order to help him get the best treatment possible, we are doing a charity show on July 17th at The Viper Room in Hollywood. Please join us as we celebrate life, music and pool our efforts to provide our friend with the care that he needs. This will be a very special evening. For those of you who can't make the show, but want to make a donation, you can do so by check. Make all checks out to "ZT Client Trust Account c/o Scott P" and mail them to Zuber & Taillieu LLP, 10866 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 300, Los Angeles, CA.

Any donation is appreciated.

We did a crazy private acoustic show on Friday night at The Peninnsula Hotel in Los Angeles. We played for an hour and had a couple of friends join us for a few songs. Highlight of the night for me was finally playing The Car?s ?Just What I Needed? with Donovan singing. The song suits him perfectly, I learnt the solo note for note, and even with acoustics it sounded killer. I?m gonna be voting for that one in the electric set next time. And that next time seems to be this week! Twice! The show at The Viper on Thursday, and then I believe we are off to our home away from home, Las Vegas at the weekend for a show at the new club in the Hard Rock Casino ? Wasted Space. More details on that soon, but I know the show is Saturday night

im gonna be at las vegas this weekend, so if the tickets arent that expensive ill go check them out  :smoking:

any update on Saturday's show Falcon?

Expect Duffy, Cantrell and possibly the Madden guys from Good Charlotte and members of The Killers..

Tonights show at the Viper Room should be a who's who - going all out for Scott, their cancer stricken tour manager.

Viper show recap courtesy of Biily Morrison:

Pretty unbelievable. The place was packed beyond belief, the police kept showing up outside and eyeing the lines of people and the scene outside with interest, the sweat was literally dripping off the walls of the club inside......and we raised a fantastic amount of money to help Scott P with all his medical expenses by playing loud rock and roll. To everyone who attended and donated, a huge THANK YOU!! And if you were there last night, you will have witnessed Chrissie Hynde jumping up onstage and trying to get us all to sing an Elvis Presley song with her!! None of us had any idea how the song went, but she kept singing it by herself anyway! Eventually Dave threw down the opening chords of Brass In Pocket and we were off and running again. If you were at the show, there will be a few extra details of that song and Chrissie's performance that spring to mind!! But I am not indulging that stuff here. I gotta say that one of the many things I love about Camp Freddy is that there are few bands that invite, encourage and cope with a complete surprise appearance such as Chrissies last night. To play that song with her in a small club like that, with no prior warning that its going down, just makes the evening special for everyone. I think Chrissie had a great time as well......even though we don't really rock Elvis that much!! I am sure pics and video will surface, but again, thank you to all the people who came to see the show, the artists who played (Cory Taylor, Billy Duffy, Warren De Martini, Corey Parks, Abby Gennet, Stephen Perkins, Patrick Cornell, Terri Nunn, Dave Kushner, Mark McGrath, Brett Anderson and the inimitable Chrissie Hynde) and Harry and all at The Viper for making it possible. OH yeah.....and Mr Michael Ball from Rock And Republic jeans......you fucking rock!!!!! For me, I now turn my head towards Las Vegas and our acoustic show tomorrow at the Hard Rock hotel's new club, Wasted Space

What a night at the Viper Room last night! The bottom line? We helped raise a lot of money for our good friend Scott P so he can receive the medical treatment he needs. Thank you to everyone who sent in donations, bid on items in during the auction and came to the show to help support this very important cause. We, Camp Freddy, thank you and I know that Scott thanks you! We had an amazing line up featuring Abby from Slunt, Warren DiMartini, Terri Nunn, Corey Parks, Cory Taylor, Billy Duffy, Dave Kushner, Mark McGrath, Stephen Perkins and Chrissie Hynde! Yes, THE Chrissie Hynde. She got up with us for a totally unexpected version of Brass In Pocket and a version of Suffragette City. I think she even threw some Elvis in there if I am not mistaken. So, this is where I'd expect the press to make a big deal out of the performance, but let me tell you this... She turned in what rock is partly all about... Not giving a fuck and having a great time not giving a fuck! Sure, I had to coax her into doing Brass... But once we got there... It was magical! We have done Brass in Pocket many times as a band but doing it with Chrissie was absolutely a highlight in my career. Sure... Making out with her during the song didn't suck either!

More from Billy Morrison on the Wasted Space gig in Vegas..

"Another busy weekend for Camp Freddy, with the benefit show last Thursday for Scott P at The Viper Room, followed by a quick trip to Vegas to open the new club at the Hard Rock Hotel And Casion, called Wasted Space. The hotel sent a plane for us (that?s how you roll when you own a casino!) so we had the pleasure of private travel. It?s something that you could really get used to??and completely ruins any regular commercial flight one might take in the future! So we hopped onto the plane and were in Las Vegas as quick as a flash.

Now I have to say that Las Vegas and the words ?acoustic performance? don?t exactly go together! But that?s what we were scheduled to do, so that?s what we did!! Gavin Rossdale also played before us, and did it acoustic style as well. Interesting vibe, especially in Las Vegas, but we had a blast anyway ? Matt was on the drum kit and the rest of us sat on stools and did the ?up close and personal? thing!! HAHA!! My favorite moment was getting to play ?What It?s Like? with Everlast ? one of my all time favorite tunes, he just walked onstage unannounced, sat down next to me, and I just started playing the riff!! Very cool. Royston Langdon and Billy Duffy were our guests ? we did a great version of The Cult?s Rain, and Royston nailed People Are Strange as well as his Spacehog hit, In The Meantime."

Royston is hanging out a lot with CF... Sorum/Slash..

Wasted Space inside the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino officially opened its doors last night (7.19.08) giving Las Vegas a taste of the true rockstar lifestyle. Guests were treated to a special acoustic set from Gavin Rossdale and all-star rock band Camp Freddy. Guests included: co-owner Carey Hart; managing partner Cory McCormack; club partner Benji Madden of Good Charlotte; with girlfriend Paris Hilton; Billy Morrison, Dave Navarro, Donovan Leitch and Matt Sorum of Camp Freddy; Brendan Urie of Panic of the Disco; singer Everlast; Gavin Rossdale; Jon Dolmayan of System of a Down; singer Mandy Moore; Royston Langdon of the former music group Spacehog and recent Liv Tyler ex; Maynard James Keenan of Tool; Shayne Lamas, bombshell from 'The Bachelor'; reality show heartthrob Brody Jenner; actor Stephen Baldwin; rapper Ice-T and wife Coco; boxer Mike Tyson; Joshua Lebar of Entourage; actress Jennifer Tilly; Billy Duffy of The Cult, Miss Nevada Veronica Grabowski and more.

Mandy Moore was spotted hanging out at a nearby table with Lorenzo Fertitta and Mike Tyson was seen stopping by to say hello. Mandy was also spotted later chatting and laughing with Brody. A couple tables over, Benji and Paris were inseparable with one another. Posing for photos with admiring fans. During Camp Freddy's performance Paris stood up on the booth and showed off her moves. Both Brody and Carey joined their table as the night progressed. The sexy staff of Wasted Space buzzed around the space all night as the party continued into the early morning hours. The superstar grand opening at Wasted Space was the hottest spot in Sin City.

OZZY ROCKS CAMP FREDDY

(http://www.billymorrison.net/weblog/archives/BandWithOzzy-thumb.jpg)

OK ? so normally I get home from a show and collapse into my bed with a large Pinkberry and a movie. The review of the show can wait. But tonight, something magical happened and I wanted to share it with you guys before I hit the sack. Tonight, we were joined onstage by none other than The Prince Of Darkness himself, Mr Ozzy Osbourne. Yeah ? that?s right ? Ozzy just blew the roof off the House Of Blues, and we got to play three songs with him to close out a great Camp Freddy gig. Crazy Train, Iron Man and Paranoid were undoubtedly some of the coolest moments so far in the Camp Freddy story. I am absolutely shattered and the Pinkberry is waiting??so I will do the full round up (including some KILLER video) tomorrow. For now, I wanna say a huge thank you to all the artists who played with us tonight and a big hug to Sharon and Ozzy for now being a part of the extended Camp Freddy family. A fucking great time was had by all.
See ya

Billy

Last night's Camp Freddy show goes down in the band's history as one of the all time greatest experiences in our 6 year career. We have had the honor of playing with some of rock's most amazing and talented musicians. A list that is so vast that it is too long to type here. Go to Camp Freddy's MySpace page for a fairly full listing. Last night, however, was probably the most incredible for me personally as Ozzy joined us at The House of Blues for three songs... Crazy Train, Iron Man and Paranoid. Of all the artists we have had the pleasure of working with, none have had a more intense and profound effect on me than Black Sabbath. They are the pioneers of Heavy Metal. Their music has not only influenced me, but it has influenced just about every other heavy band that has in turn, influenced me. Having the opportunity to perform live with Ozzy is literally a dream come true. The House of Blues was cranked up to a level I have never seen in there before. The energy in the room was so electrifying that it could have powered up New York City for a year. Thanks to Ozzy for joining us on stage for a night that everybody in the club will remember forever!

Ozzy is good, but lets not get carried away here..... : ok:

He's the frontman for the most influential rock band is heavy metal history and they're extremely proud to have played with him. 

For them, it's satisfaction to the n'th degree and "carried away" isn't even a thought.

Ya, he is good, maybe its overexposure.. Ha.  Kidding.  I am an Ozzy fan, I just know at his age he isn't all there. Now, if Zakk had joined them, that would have been cool.  I like Billy Morrison and Dave, but I don't think they could handle Randy's parts like Zakk can mainly because they don't ever play those songs.  If you know what I mean.  I am sure they can do fine on the Sabbath stuff....

So it sounded like this, except with Ozzy....

This is what I am talking about... KICK ASS!!!!   : ok:

Last nights CF radio podcast can be heard here:

http://www.billymorrison.tv/BM_Media/Podcasts/02_08_08.mp3

You'll get the idea of what playing with Ozzy meant to these guys, total reverance.

Apparently Navarro did just fine with the guitar parts. :yes:

Plenty of youtube clips to follow...

OZZY OSBOURNE With CAMP FREDDY; Video Footage Available - Aug. 4, 2008

Ozzy Osbourne made a surprise appearance with CAMP FREDDY ? the Los Angeles-based "jam" group 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) ? during Friday night's (August 1) ESPN/X-Games party at the House Of Blues in West Hollywood, California. Osbourne performed three songs with the band ? "Crazy Train", "Iron Man" and "Paranoid".

Fan-filmed video footage of the "Crazy Train" performance can be viewed below (courtesy of "samanthaslopes").

X Games rap up courtesy of www.campfreddy.net:

SETLIST: Hello There, Just What I Needed, Search And Destroy, EMI, Rain, Rock And Roll Star, In The Meantime, Suffragette City, God Save The Queen, People Are Strange, Cat Scratch Fever, Would, Dirty Deeds, Crazy Train, Iron Man, Paranoid, I Wanna Be Your Dog.

GUESTS: Ozzy Osbourne, Naveen Andrews, Billy Duffy, Jerry Cantrell, William DuVall, Mike Inez, Mark McGrath, Royston Langdon, Lemmy.

For the fourth year in a row, Camp Freddy returned to the Los Angeles House Of Blues to play the annual ESPN/X-Games party. And this year, the band upped the stakes by closing the show with none other than The Prince Of Darkness himself, Mr Ozzy Osbourne. Ozzy joined the band onstage for three songs at the end of a set that included Alice In Chains members, Lemmy from Motorhead, Naveen Andrews (from TV show LOST) and usual faces Billy Duffy from The Cult, and Mark McGrath

That performance was terrible.  Not because of the guitarists, they did fine.  Because of Ozzy, he was all over the map. 

that was not terrible dude.. some notes were.. well fucked, but ozzy was having a great time, looked happy and wasn't all that bad otherwise

Some Camp Freddy footage at Matt's MySpace page about midway down...after they wish Slash happy birthday.

compared to this, how was it?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b32Ll7cbIg4

that's 6 years ago, proshot, was released for a dvd and cd so there is most likely mixed a little bit with his vocals too so i wouldn't really compare that to some fanshot with an average camera

A three minute highlight reel of Ozzy with CF can be found here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELhUOcYJ7H4

Thanks to Billy Mo as always..

were you there?  to say the sound on a fucking camcorder or whatever is fucked is riduclous..........i bet the adrenaline in that place was off te fucking hook and everyone there would have a "issue" with your critique : ok:

i've ben to shows that were fucking awesome only to watch someone's taping of them on youtube only to have them sound like shit; can't really give a fair evaluation based on youtube footage

Ozzy's enthusiasm is infectious.

And I suddenly remembered the poster named Dizzy - he was the biggest Ozzy fan on the board  :)

Great video, there!  Pretty awesome to see Ozzy take his turn with CF!  Good stuff! 

Ya, you are right, it probably was great!

Dave and Todd Newman have a 17 minute long CF Residency highlight vid available at www.6767.com - it will take a bit of time to load but well worth the wait.

Also, Matt and Billy Morrison will be back live tonight on CF Radio - 6-8PM PST.
