Bowie, Borland Go "Under"

Producer and Nine Inch Nail Danny Lohner hopes to do with the Underworld soundtrack what P. Diddy did with his all-star Bad Boys II collection, on top of the charts now for four weeks in a row. Lohner tapped hard rock heroes David Bowie, former Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland, Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan, Filter frontman Richard Patrick, Helmet's Page Hamilton and Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante to record for the set, due September 2nd.

Bowie contributed a remix of "Bring Me to the Disco King," from his upcoming album Reality, that features Frusciante and Keenan. Keenan's own new project with Lohner, Pulcifer, offers a new song, "REV 22:20"; and Lohner teams up with Borland, A Perfect Circle's Josh Freese and Patrick on the leadoff track, "Awakening," recorded under the name the Damning Well.

Also featured on the collection are tracks from Hamilton, the Dillinger Escape Plan, Skinny Puppy, Lisa Germano and actress Milla Jovovich.

Kate Beckinsale and Scott Speedman star in the dark vampires and werewolves film, which will be released September 19th.

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry | 1984

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
