Rock Star Supernova have announced that former Black Crowes bassist Johnny Colt will be a temporary replacement for Jason Newstead.  Jason Newstead was injured a couple weeks back when a bass head fell off his amp and injured his shoulder/arm.  Tommy Lee and Gilby Clark seem to be happy with the selection, and they are familiar with Colt.  Tommy even said that “he is the type of player that can plug in and immediately make his presence felt.”  He will have a couple months to get some practice in before their first tour gig in Las Vegas on New Year’s Eve.  The replacement is only temporary as Jason Newstead expects to be back in action in under 9 months.

Rock Star Supernova’s first album will be in stores November 21.  The band had already recorded the material before the injury so the bass in the songs will be brought care of Jason Newstead.
