Rock 'N' Roll Fantasy Camp is the opportunity that can put you and the select other few that can afford the $16,000 price, in a band playing and recording with the likes of Slash, the Rolling Stones, AC/DC, and Pink Floyd. Seriously, you get to play with a rock star, and you get to record at Abbey Road studios in London.
Now when I say London, I do mean Britain. The cost of crossing the pond and staying somewhere when you aren’t writing your own song or performing it is an added cost you will have to figure out yourself. But for a true fan, or someone living out a dream, what’s a few ten thousand?
Without having to go to American Idol, without having to spend inordinate hours being mocked by Simon Cowell, without having stellar talent you too could be one step away from greatness. Literally. Now tell me you aren’t looking at your bank account – whether you have the money or not.
And I will add that this experience is not age limited. While many who do indulge in this expensive pleasure are moderately older, in the 50’s, there are those who have parents with the means that are far younger – like 15. So don’t let the sag in the middle, or lack of legal drinking age hold you back.
Recently at the Rock 'N' Roll Fantasy Camp were Slash in an unexpected visit, Mark Hudson guiding a group in writing a song, and drummer Nick Mason of Pink Floyd. When Mason was asked why he does this – since it is logical that he like many of the rock legends and stars that go to the camp don’t need whatever fee they receive – he said
“I think there a number of things that appeal about it. It's partly working with the non-professionals and working with the professionals. Both sections bring something.”
So I suppose that if you have the cash, the dream, and the time there is only one question. Can you rock?
