On September 20, Rolling Stone put out a list of what they want to see happen before they pay money for this year's Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp. The list includes:
Three days ago, they put this item on their website:
Although our list of demands for this year’s Rock & Roll Fantasy Camp went unfulfilled, Slash did use the occasion to play “Sweet Child O’ Mine” for the first time in over a decade. Slash described the moment as “very surreal.” We describe the moment as almost worth the camp’s $9,499 tuition.
Roger Daltrey and Slash (who played "Sweet Child O' Mine" for the first time in a decade) perform with camp attendees during the 10th Anniversary Of The Rock 'n Roll Fantasy Camp on November 9, 2007 in Las Vegas.
I think that's very exciting. I love that song. The guitar is genius, the vocals are genius. It's one of those songs where it's fun to sing karaoke but it's almost blasphemous if anyone else sings a cover of it.
- Slash lets us prank call Axl Rose. We dial and say, “Hey Axl, it’s Charlie Manson. Heard you’re a big fan. Listen, I just escaped from jail and I need a place to hide out. What’s your address?”
- An impromptu session of Inside The Actor’s Studio with Roger Daltrey. He can illuminate us on what it was like to appear on shows like Sliders and Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.
- Vince Neil leads campers on a raid on Hugh Hefner’s Playboy suite at the Palms.
- Doobie Brother/military defense consultant Jeff “Skunk” Baxter enlightens us with Pentagon secrets.
- Face painting with Kiss’ Bruce Kulick.
- Slash teaches us Hotelroom Trashing 101. After the room is adequately destroyed, we take the wooden shards, build a campfire and make S’mores.
- Jack Bruce is driven to insanity by amateur guitarists repeatedly playing the intro to “Sunshine Of Your Love.”
- Joe Walsh takes five of us to the $10 blackjack table. Walsh is contractually obligated to sing “Life’s Been Good” for the entire duration.
- Vince Neil leads campers on a raid to reclaim O.J. Simpson’s stolen memorabilia.
- Slash shaves his head.
