Cameron Crowe is married to Nancy Wilson?!  Wicked!!!

[corey]

Yup. She does a lot of music for his films, too.

I wonder why they moved the release of"Z" back two weeks?  Hope this doesn't keep getting pushed back like the Early Recordings.  Although I am sure they have a good reason for pushing it back.

Will MMJ be on the soundtrack?

[tomEisenbraun]

Yeah they will be. They recorded a song for the movie, and hopefully we'll get their rendition of Freebird too.

will be cool to hear another new song.

In one scene, Ruckus performs the Southern rock staple "Freebird"

Noooooooo............ :(

[corey]

Yeah man, that was in one of the threads a while back. I kind of like the idea.... It could be funny.

[Jellyfish]

I just hate that song...never wanna hear it again...but since it's Jim..well..I'll listen.  ;)

[corey]

I'm not sure, but I think I read somewhere that one of the actors (Schneider maybe?) is the singer in the band. I think JJ is just the guitar player. I could be wrong about that.

As long as it's an originall solo by Jim I'll be really really Happy.  I Fucking Love Freebird!!!!!!!!!

I think it's hilarious that they are going to be playing freebird.  I remember seeing them in 2000 or 2001 when they were starting to build a fan base in Louisville.  People in the audience started calling out requests.  It was the first time I had heard someone yell a request at a mmj show and I remember thinking it was weird that other people knew the songs.  Anyway, Jim listen to the first few requests and then yells 'FREEBIRD!!!' and then they stuck to the setlist.  I bet Jim would have never thought that Cameron Crowe would eventually request him to play 'Freebird' in a major motion picture.  Great stuff! :)

[Killgies]

I'll have to agree with some you guys on this. I hate Freebird.I get so sick of hearing ppl request it at concerts. BUT since MMJ is doing it..I will prob Love it! I'll just have  2 tell myself they wrote it. lol

If you go to http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0368709/ you can see Jim & the rest of the guys credited in the movie as Jessie's Band members.
