"Rock And Roll Fantasy Camp" -- a new Mark Burnett Production Reality Television Series on VH1 Classic -- follows three bands as they go through the process of Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp! Featuring Rock Star and "Celebrity Apprentice" Bret Michaels, Ace Frehley (KISS), Michael Anthony (ChickenFoot/Van Halen) and many more!
This five-episode series documents the real life dream inside every music fan -- becoming a rock star! In "Rock And Roll Fantasy Camp" we'll follow 12 musicians ready to step out of their lives as 9 to 5'ers, truck drivers, teachers, dads and husbands and onto the stage. Over one week, our campers will form bands and rehearse...culminating in a live performance at an iconic venue their own rock idols have conquered. With a few hiccups along the way, the journey will be anything but dull...fights will erupt and stage fright will ensue, ensuring that only those with rock n roll in their blood will make it!
As if that doesn't sound hard enough, these campers will be learning the ropes from rock gods including Ace Frehley, Michael Anthony, Lita Ford, Lemmy Kilmister, Matt Sorum, Eddie Kramer, and Bret Michaels. Our camp counselors/rock stars Rudy Sarzo, Kip Winger and Mark Hudson will be doling out tough love to the wannabe rockers...but what doesn't kill them makes them stronger. We'll see campers evolve from quiet nice guy to loud sexy frontman...timid drummer to a drum-pounding rock hero...wannabe Slash to an ax-slinging force to be reckoned with...!
After being schooled by music legends, our campers will be taken out and shown how to dress the part. With the music know-how, looks and rock star swagger falling into place, we'll watch them take the stage in front of a live audience. Will they pass the test and be flocked with groupies...or booed off the stage? The stakes are high as the band voted best by the fans will win the opportunity rock fans can only dream about -- a once-in-a-lifetime performance with a legendary rock artist.
The show is scheduled to premiere Oct. 16. For more information, visit www.rockcamp.com
