He was rumored to be doing this show last year and he said he wouldn't do it:

But he now says in this interview with VH1 that he will be appearing on the show's second season.

Duff has done this before. He did the camp the year Steven Tyler was there. I cannot remember what year it was but when the pics appeared on the Aeroforce One forum Duff was in several of them.

The camp is different from the VH1 show, they both have the same name.  He said last year he wouldn't do the TV show, but now apparently he is.

Duff McKagan Will NOT Be Appearing On VH1's Fantasy Camp

By Chris Kornelis in Duff McKagan

Jan. 15 2010

I just got a note from our friend and columnist Duff McKagan who has informed me that contrary to multiple news reports, he will not be performing on VH1's Fantasy Camp. Duff says he's not sure how the rumor got started, but it's not in the cards.

"I like the people at Fantasy Camp and think it's a cool chance for people to rock with their favorite peeps," says Duff, "but I am not a real TV guy."

Ok I see what you mean about the difference now. Maybe MTR helped Duff get over his camera shyness.

The concept of this is very exciting, and it must be a huge buzz for those who are lucky enough to do this. I mean, how cool would it be to actually get to play music in a band environment with one of your idols. 

I don't think much beats that to be honest.

From the camp with Duff and Matt:

Opening Night Party! We've just secured our dream location for your first performance! The infamous Key Club on the Sunset Strip! We've also added Matt Sorum and Duff McKagan from Velvet Revolver and Guns N Roses! This Hollywood camp is really gonna rock!

That seems like the perfect location for Duff and Matt, with it being the Sunset Strip. It's going to be a blast for whoever is granted the opportunity to play with them, in a band environment.

Thanks for posting, I missed it the other night.   What a great show!   It is really entertaining and well-done.   There are some pretty good contestants on there.  I like Duff's band: X-man is cool, and so is the drummer, I like the realtor too.  The parts where certain people mess up are pretty brutal.

I just caught a repeat of the second episode over the weekend.  Man, this show is great!   Spoiler, Matt really goes after the bass player and corners him.  Matt was cracking me up. There are definitely some characters on this show.   The other producer who is a councilor is great too, he has a lot of insight.
