Psychotic Outsiders?


Matt Sorum, Dave Navarro, and Lemmy, on stage with Jerry Cantrell as well as Steve Jones and Paul Cook of the Sex Pistols!

That's who crammed the stage last night at the Roxy in Hollywood for a jam session.

The Roxy is known for holding jam sessions with big names, and this group opened its jam session by blowing the crowd away with cover-songs by David Bowie, Oasis, Killing Joke, Thin Lizzy, and Blur.

Lemmuy got the biggest cheer of the night, joining the group for "Ace of Spades."

Ex-Ratt guitarist Warren DiMartini stepped up for "Suffragette City" and "Round on Round," which provoked a big roar when he and Navarro ripped through a dueling guitar solo.

Cantrell, a last-minute addition, took the stage for "Jailbreak."

The gig at times found multiple bassists (Lemmy, Chaney and Corey Parks, formerly of Nashville Pussy), multiple drummers (Sorum, Cook, Stephen Perkins of Jane's Addiction) and multiple guitarists (Bettencourt, Jones, Navarro, Morisson) all playing together, as they did on the closer: the Stooges' "I Wanna Be Your Dog."
