I don't know how this is gonna work out but this idea is pretty funny. Although Josh is one hell of a drummer but he isn't a superstar so I don't know how much money he gets from this but I gotta say some of the bands he is associated with (mainly NIN and A Perfect Circle) have hard core fans and every single gig is sold out. This could be a joke though :ROTF: or maybe he knows that no one will pay 75K so he can promise whatever shit he likes.
Anyway here's the press release.
FULL PRESS RELEASE:
JOSH FREESE: SINCE 1972
SOLO ALBUM TO BE RELEASED IN ELEVEN CONFIGURATIONS PRICED FROM $7 TO $75,000
PHYSICAL RELEASE APRIL 14
Digital Pre-Release Exclusively at joshfreese.com Beginning March 24
Known the world over for his work with a multitude of artists including Nine Inch Nails, Devo, A Perfect Circle, Sting and the Vandals, journeyman drummer Josh Freese now unveils his latest full length solo effort Since 1972, in stores April 14 and available digitally at joshfreese.com from March 24.
Josh Freese has been playing drums professionally since his debut with a Disneyland Top 40 band at the age of 12. His recording and touring credits include work with the Vandals, Devo, A Perfect Circle, Guns N' Roses, Sting, the Replacements and a host of others. Most recently, he left Nine Inch Nails following the completion of the band's Lights In The Sky Over North America tour.
Since 1972, like his 2000 album The Notorious One Man Orgy, features Freese singing and playing more or less everything: vocals, guitars, keyboards, bass and of course drums.
Unlike previous solo Freese records, Since 1972 is available in a total of eleven configurations, ranging from a basic $7 digital download that also includes three videos to a $75,000 limited edition of 1 that includes one of Freese's drum kits, a flying trapeze lesson and Freese either joining the purchaser's band or becoming his or her personal assistant for one month.
