Happy Birthday to actress, Gina Gershon! Flashback to when Gina fronted a band with Slash, Duff, and Matt Sorum in 2003:
-
"Prey for Rock and Roll"... about the true story about this punk rocker who never quite made it, Cheri LoveDog. I played and I sang live throughout the whole movie.

In order to promote it, at Sundance, they said, why don't you play some of the songs? I'm like, I don't have a band!

Next thing I know, I saw Matt Sorum, who I had known. I said, Matt, I need to put together a band. They were just putting together Velvet Revolver. He said, well, I'll play for you.

And I just met Slash. He goes, I'm sure Slash will also...let's just ask Duff, who I didn't know. I'm like, really?!

Within 2 hours, I'm like, okay, guys, I've got a band that's called Guns N' Roses, so just have them come out to Sundance...

I had no idea what I was in for. I played live. It was the first real band. I played guitar with and sang, and we had a blast. I was like, whoa, the power behind me playing. I was like, oh my God, so much fun."
