James Durbin may have come in fourth on last season of American Idol, but he's the third to launch a solo CD, kicking off with lead single, Love Me Bad.

Now, you can go exclusively behind-the-scenes as James films in the desert rocking his signature headband, lotsa leather and (you guessed it) some pyrotechnics. The only thing missing was a chimpanzee, which James wanted but couldn't get for his first video.

James describes the song, off his debut album Memories of a Beautiful Disaster, as a power ballad -- an area anyone who watched the rocker slay Idol knows to be his sweet spot.

Check out the video above and keep an eye out for Memories of a Beautiful Disaster, our November 21.
