From their 2002 inception, Camp Freddy were neither a full-time band nor a jam session, falling somewhere in that middle ground where friends simply came occasionally together to play music (namely cover songs) for the sheer fun of playing rock & roll. [1]

Camp Freddy is a group of established musicians who play rock and roll covers at various shows around America. [2]

Camp Freddy is the musical equivalent of The Super Friends or The Justice League. [3]

Guitarist Billy Morrison describes them as: “…not a band, but it is also way more than a jam session. [...] The band is composed of core members Dave Navarro (guitar), Billy Morrison (guitar), Matt Sorum (drums), Donovan Leitch, Jr. (vocals) and Chris Chaney (bass). [2]

In fact, the dressing room scene before the band takes the stage could very well be cut right from a Grammy party. [...] Each show has brought out rock’s cream of the crop in terms of “Super Friends,” from Slash and Steve Jones of The Sex Pistols to Chester Bennington of Linkin Park and Corey Taylor of Slipknot and Stone Sour. [...] Dave Navarro sits shirtless on a leather couch, relaxing before the show. [3]

[...] Surprise guests, lounge singers turned heavy rock superstars, some of the world’s greatest guitarists playing three chord punk tunes. [4]

Deriving their name from a character in the Michael Caine movie The Italian Job, the band was primarily comprised of guitarist/vocalist Billy Morrison, guitarist Dave Navarro, drummer Matt Sorum, vocalist Scott Weiland, vocalist Donovan Leitch, and bassist Chris Chaney; they created a pretty impressive musical r?sum? among them, time having been spent with groups like the Cult, Guns N’ Roses, Stone Temple Pilots, Jane’s Addiction, Velvet Revolver, Nancy Boy, Circus Diablo, and the Panic Channel. [1]

Scott Weiland was a core member and vocalist for the band from March 2006 until April 2008, when his decision to leave Velvet Revolver for Stone Temple Pilots caused tension between Matt Sorum and Weiland, leading to his departure from the group being announced on the April 2, 2008 edition of Camp Freddy Radio. [2]
