Thanks to the tipster who sent along this press release regarding next week’s Rock Star Supernova gig in Philadelphia:

Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee joins Guns N’ Roses Gilby Clarke, and lead singer Lukas Rossi, winner of the CBS reality show. The band’s current bassist Johnny Thunders, formerly of Black Crowes and Goo Goo Dolls, replaced the injured Jason Newsted following his major shoulder injury in October.

Because Thunders died in 1991, his newly risen-from-the-grave corpse has spent the last few days on the road asking catch-up questions like, “Where did CBGB’s go?,” “What the hell’s an iPod?,” and “Why is the drummer driving the tour bus with his dong?”
