Yet Mike Love calls himself The Beach Boys. You suck Mike!

Sorum is no more of an original GNR member, than whoever the current drummer for the nu GNR is. If Slash, Duff, Izzy, or crack head Adler have a gripe about the name GNR belonging to Axl, its legit, but Sorum was nothing more than a replacement himself… an overrated one too, if you ask me.

Just another sinnless interview of matt sorum…the reason why he is doing such interviews is exactly what he says in this one. He is the drummer guy, without anything to say that matters. Probably nobody listens to or cares about his opinion anyway…and such interviews explain why.

Matt Sorum’s life peaked the second after they were finished recording the intro to “You Could Be Mine.”

Farley you’re correct that Sorum wasn’t an original member, but he was the drummer for both of the Illusions albums and tours (when GNR was at its biggest). Either way though, he’s right, Axl’s using the name still is pretty pathetic.

Sorum makes a good point about the name. However, I wonder if he still called in Van Halen after David Lee Roth left, or after Sammy Hagar left. Was it still Kiss after Ace Frehely and Peter Criss left? Was it Motley Crue when Vince Neil left? Will it still be Velvet Revolver without Scott Weiland?

No one likes you Matt. Stop giving this guy ink….

Use Your Illusion-era Guns was trash. Listen to the albums today. They are more relative to the over the top vibe that Axl is doing these days than the Live Like a Suicide, Appetite & Lies era Guns. The era that made them the dangerous band that was legendary.

Velvet Revolver is a piece of trash and Sorum knows it…funny how every ex-member needs to talk abou GNR and Axl all the time…or no one would ever spend 5 seconds listening to their crap…
Axl is the real talent in Guns…

I would think he’d busy enough pimping those Stilletto Hos around town. Maybe he’s noticed that Adler’s getting more gigs than he is these days. I’m just sayin’.

Was it still The Archies after Betty and Veronica OD’d?

Did anyone catch this not-so-publicized item?
“Matt Sorum’s Hollywood Hills-area home for sale for $2,975,000
Katy Winn/ Associated Press Drummer Matt Sorum hopes to sell his recently remodeled four-bedroom, three-bathroom home of 2,450 square feet.” Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Good point Kevin the Robot!

I would think he’d busy enough pimping those Stilletto Hos around town. Maybe he’s noticed that Adler’s getting more gigs than he is these days. I’m just sayin’.

OOPs. DID I POST THIS TWICE???!

Did anyone catch his other interview this week where he spouts off about “If I were running things in VR . . . ” Someone is getting seriously delusional about his own importance/relevance.

“The 48-year-old California-native tells The Pulse of Radio things may be different if he were ever given the chance to run things. “Being the drummer in a rock n’ roll unit, you know you’re not the guy that’s making the decisions or you know, which you’d like to be, if you look at a lot of great bands that are out there there’s a couple I can name that are run by drummers — METALLICA, run by Lars Ulrich and a band called U2, run by Larry Mullins. I would like to think, ‘If you guys just let me run this band, things would go different,’ but it’s not the way it is.”

Getting more delusional by the minute… I’M SO SURE, MATT!

Does Slash know about this? He’s out of control!! I see the next pink slip being issued to one Matt Sorum. To the left, to the left.

“Anyways” isn’t a word. The word is “anyway”. Please stop publishing it in a major publication’s website articles.

Web site is two words bud.

“If you look at a lot of great bands that are out there, there’s a couple I can name that are run by drummers — Metallica, run by Lars Ulrich and a band called U2, run by Larry Mullen.” (Edit note: We’re sure Bono and James Hetfield would beg to differ). “I would like to think, ‘If you guys just let me run this band, things would go different,’ but it’s not the way it is.”

Props to RS for ever sublimely correcting Sorum. I think he confused Ulrich’s and Mullen’s prominence in their respective bands as “running the show”. The reason that Lars and Larry’s opinions matter more than that of the average drummer’s is because they STARTED their bands, they weren’t recruited to be in one. It’s hard to tell the person that made it possible for YOU to be in the band “Hey butt out, what think has no relevance” regardless of their position in the band. Even Larry himself said this about Bono: “It was ‘The Larry Mullen Band’ for about ten minutes, then Bono walked in and blew any chance I had of being in charge.” Maybe Matt should do some research before he talks. The problem isn’t that he’s just a drummer, he’s a replacement. Had Steven been able to get his stuff together before getting fired from GNR, he would’ve ended up being the drummer for VR. Matt just got lucky as a result of Steven’s misfortunes. And a band is a team effort, no one person can be in charge. Those who are completely incapable of realizing that are the ones whose bands end up falling apart, and GNR is a shining example of that. He’s right about Axl using the GNR name, because it is after all a solo artist with a backing band, and the name should reflect that, but unfortunately he legally owns the name and therefore can do whatever he wants with it. That’s what happens when you sign over your rights to him simply for the sake of getting on stage. Matt has personally seen for himself what happens when one person tries to take on the role of primary decision maker for the band (or “decider”, as Bush would put it) and how messy that becomes.

he is right, did Toad keep calling himself the wet sprocket when..wait, what?

Why are we even talking about this guy? I thought he was a judge on project runway.

Hey, Slash admits in his autobiography they all willingly signed the name over to Axl. Whether they regret it years later doesn’t matter. Matt Sorum is a boring drummer anyway. I’ll take drugged up Steven with a stroke any day over his plodding snooze fests.

BARF BAG PUH-LEEZZZZZZZZZZE.

For the first time I’m impressed with Sorum.
He welcomes Adler back as drummer, he admits he doesn’t have as much power as he’d like; he’s even careful not to put GnR at the same level as The Beatles.
Maybe he’s not such a bad guy afterall.

I saw The Cult the other night in Memphis. Trust me, Sorum is not missed.

Sorum
sOruM
Sorum

i don´t mind Adler he never get the sorum´s quality, he played on a famous album but never made the difference, i love locomotive, that sounds blast

Finally some one who can look at this “thing” in a normal way without backtalk each other.

Even if Matt is just that piece of shit you´re all(almost) saying that he is, he still has a point. and why do you complain when someone´s trying to make something good(EVEN if he´s not the man to do it). Dont you all want to see the original line-up? be positive!

Sorum is desperate, he knows that all the talk of a reunion is talk of the original band and that does not include him. So now he is willing to share the drum stool, which I think is something Steven Adler would not do. Adler maybe insecure, but surely he is not stupid enough to become bed fellows with this nonce.

Sorum, as a human being, knows in the back of his mind that Slash and Duff would walk back to Axl Rose without a moments thought and that would leave him permanently back where he started, in a cheesy, third rate, out-dated rock band, which the world is seemingly over run with.

Everybody needs Axl, but Axl does not need any of the others. A reunion would be a big mistake, but a reunion involving Sorum would be his biggest mistake.

Compare ‘Chinese Democracy’ with the Velvet Revolver albums and you hear two bands that are planets apart with their ideas, ambitions and performances. For that reason, I would not even like to see Slash and Duff return. The fact they hired Sorum as the Velvet revolver drummer shows their mindset.

Never be tempted Axl, don’t ruin the Guns N’ Roses legend. You are rich enough, famous enough and relevant enough.

Steve, Liverpool, England

He’s obviously running out of cash and is clutching at straws.

One thing I will always respect Axl for is not selling out and going the reunion route. They would sell out every stadium in the world and make an incredible amount of money but he believes in what he’s doing.

That’s admirable and Chinese democracy is a great album.

You’d never see Bill Bailey on American Idol.

Sorum and the rest of Velvet Revolver need to pick a new singer ASAP. If they go another year “searching for the perfect singer” they will completely fall off the radar. Not to say they haven’t already.
Meanwhile, Scott Weiland has toured w/ STP, put out a solo album, toured behind said solo album, is touring with STP this summer, and working on a new record w/ STP. Looks like Weiland got the better end of that stick.

Go IRISH!!!

This clown should never have left the Cult.

What is with all the hate??? Matt is a cool guy when I met one time (1995) and I think he make agreat point in having double drums if GNR ever reuite for a tour. That would be great!!

Axl is the a-hole and you all know it!! Why is it a sell-out to reunite for a tour that millions want to see…but dragging the GNR name through a ton of line-up changes it not???

Think Black Sabbath when Iommi was the only origianl member? That is what GNR has become!

No offence to you all…but Matt is a cool guy and does not deserve all the abuse!

Matt = ALWAYS better than that junkie Adler. Go watch some old live footage. One guy could bring it every night…the other could not.

Who cares what this guy says? He helped drive GNR into 2 factions in the 90’s and then single handedly drove Scott Weiland out of VR.

Why would anyone let him make decisions on anything? He needs to realize he’s just the drummer and shut his mouth for once.

“probably Izzy”?!
without a doubt Izzy was at the core of the original band. sorum’s an asshat.

He had a great feel to his drumming that Sorum could never duplicate. Sometimes technique and skill is not as important as chemistry and feel…the band lost that when Adler got the axe. Oh, and Izzy was the principle song-writer along with Axl, so yeah I’d say he was part of the band’s “core.”

Delusions of Adequacy BIG TIME.

Idiot wind blowing every time your move your mouth
Blowing down the backroads heading south
Idiot wind blowing every time you move your teeth
You’re an idiot babe
It’s a wonder that you still know how to breathe

Sorum has always gotten some hate from sone GnR fans which I don’t get, myself a diehard GnR fan. He is a solid drummer, though Adler did I must admit bring one helluva sound. A lineup reunion looks bleak cause of Axl being such a prick. The rest of the band, even Slash seems up for the idea. I thought it was really generous and cool of Sorum to suggest that they bring along Adler. Adler really does need to get his shit together though, he is still battleing with addiction. If they did tour with him, you have gotta think that he could be tempted to maybe relive the old days even more a bit. The question would be, if GnR was to reform, what would happen with Dave Kushner and Velvet Revolver? And what about this new Guns N’ Roses? Will they all be cast aside or will they tour with them?. And if there is a tour, would they make a new album (hopefully not 14 years in the making) nad would Slash, Duff and Matt go back to Velvet Revolver when they were done (If Velvet Revolver can actually FIND a singer its been over a year since Weiland left). The other big question mark would be whether the band could stand each other (Mostly can the rest of the band stand Axl and could he hold up) for the tour (Remember the 04′ Van Halen tour as an example, those guys did NOT get along). I’m up for it, but also, can they still perform great live at their age now? (Axl’s vocals are a question mark to as if they can hold up)

Rockman, optimism is an admirable quality in a person, but I’m afraid you’re just gonna have to get your head out the clouds with this one. The original G’N'R will never reunite, Axl will never stop being a prick and therefore the rest of the guys will never put up with his usual B.S. all over again. Steven is beyond help at this point, and yes, a tour might cause a relapse. Watch Behind The Music on YouTube, even you’ll realize that it would take a miracle of epic proportions for them to ever agree to be in the same room ever again.

Don’t be bashing on one of the best drummers to ever walk the earth. Have some respect if you don’t have something positive to say just shut up.

Yeah its me …

Why is so hard for people, Axl is the Rose and the players are the Guns. Why should Axl have to conform for people to be happy. They were there at the start and have since chose to move on. It’s really not this complicated. If that was his vision from the beginning, I think people should respect it and move on. really.
I love the old music and wish for a concert too, but it’s not an option.

I don’t know that Larry Mullen *runs* U2, but apparently, he holds a lot more power in the group than previously led to believe. I read a funny quote recently that Bono is always so busy with activism because he gets so much more accomplished than getting Larry Mullen to agree with *anything* in the band…

As for Matt… I don’t think he’s a tool, but if wants to run a band… go form one, bro. You’re well connected!

HAAAAAAAAAA!!!

“As for Matt… I don’t think he’s a tool, but if wants to run a band… go form one, bro. You’re well connected!”

So true, dude. So true.

In all fairness to Matt, he did kinda form a band: Stiletto Whores. But maybe he’s not officially a member … they probably won’t let him wear their panties.

Matt has such sad, sweet eyes.

Maybe he’s sad cuz he left The Cult!

The eyes are a window on the soul. His say: “I would kill my mother for fame and fortune.”

This dude is sucha doosh

Nobody cares about any of your crappy bands

PLEASE

BLADE.
WRIST.
C ASKET.

Actually, he was in only one crappy band. That band is none other than Velvet Revolver.

Fuck Sorum.
How Duff and Slash ever got mixed up with this guy I’ll never figure but it’s time to cut him loose.

There is a lot of hate on here for this guy. Adler created the original drum sound, Appetite. Best GN’R record? For sure. BUT who played on the others? Matt played more then Adler with Gn’r then Adler ever did PERIOD. Sorum is a killer rock drummer end of discussion. Since Matts time with the band, like in any other line of work, in MY opinion gives him seniority, the fact that he is open to and thinks it would be cool to have Adler on tour (who probably couldn’t even sit properly to play at this point and would be WAY too vulnerable on the road)shows he is not cocky or selfish at all in his seniority. when you read what’s above, you have to read carefully what is in quotations cause its easy to get what he is saying mixed up.. or read things out of context. Matt has always been cool guy in any interview you ever see with him. Do you really think Duff and Slash would have played with him after GN’R if he wasn’t and if they weren’t genuine friends, cause they could have had their pick of any other drummer out there. Its’ Duff and Slash from GN’R, guys would have been trying out from all over the world. But THEY CHOSE MATT.
Love you Matt, Slash, Duff, Izzy, Steven, Dizzy, Gilby, and Axel. Old reunion or not, Old or NEW, weather this person was “original” or “not original” all have added to records or live performance and it wouldn’t be the same without you, GNf’nR is my fav band and your all apart of it thanx for being apart of writing this bands history and continuing too… …”TO ALL THOSE WHO OPPOSE”

axl rose is a legend and chin democracy sold 3 million of copies already. Thats more than spaguetti and live era…..ahh no promotion at all

Chinese Democracy has sold only 576,613 in the US, after 15 years of “buzz”. That’s a pathetic showing.

Who is Matt Sorum to say anything about a OG GN’R reunion?He was a replacement drummer and shouldnt be on the reunion tour if there would happen to be one.Also,he has no right to tell Axl to change the name of the band.He is the Rose of the Guns N’ Roses(duh).And what the hell was he thinking to say that Izzy was “probably” a core member.There would have been no GN’R without him or Axl.On another note,Slash and Duff were not core members.They were added after the other guys left.Plus,Matt sucks anyway and Axl needs to kick his ass

Ron Wood is just a replacement guitarist.

ok wtf is wrong with this man sayin metallica is run by lars…

Fuck this guy, man. He is a fucking fill in dude. Barely one step above a fucking studio drummer. Piece of shit.

Ron had charisma and chemistry with the band. Matt has none.

keep looking for a singer stop talking about GNR – in short get a life

Oh,Matt,I really like you more than Adler, but the worse things get with VR,the more desperate you sound.As a lot of ppl already noted, Axl is the Rose in Guns N Roses and he calls the shots.
Just move on,will u?:)

An earlier poster nailed it right on the head. This dummy should NEVER have left The Cult.I wonder if he wishes swine flu on the current drummer!!

I think Axl is too big of a jackass to even agree to play a single song with the real line up at the rock & roll hall of fame when they get inducted. A full-on reunion would never happen.

Please….Enough already with ripping Sorum for leaving The Cult. It was all about timing. Astbury and Duffy were at each others throats and who knew if The Cult would survive. Then, GnR sacks Adler and invite Sorum to replace him. At that time, GnR was the hottest band in the world and only a FOOL would have turned them down.

Hey Matt, those hair plugs turned out pretty decent.

Matt Sorum fuckin sucks. And why would we care about him.

I never imagined so many fools would have an opinion on this!!!

How can people honestly agree with what Axl is doing to the Guns name? The new album is utter bollocks. Im all up for him moving on musically but he is well known enough where he could have put the name to rest. Michael Jackson no longer tours or releases material as the Jackson 5. Even he is not that much of a moron! Surely that says something! Eh Axl!!!

I agree that the punk-esque drums on Appetite are far better and give the band a cooler sound rather than the run of the mill rock drumming you hear on the other albums but, although it’ll never happen, how can you take a fucked up junkie like Adler on the road? The guy is a complete waster. So as much as id rather see Adler do a tour i think it would be best for all if Sorum got the gig!!!

I am a fan of alot of the illusions stuff but basically the band was on a downward spiral after the Lies album. every1 else was smart enough to leave and let the Woman Beater yous all seem to support get on with it!!!

“PROBABLY Izzy”?????? How about DEFINITELY.

I always thought Izzy was the nucleolus of the band. Without Izzy, there is no “reunion” in my opinion. Let’s take the first VR’s album…the best songs on that album were the ones that were written with Izzy BEFORE they even chose a singer! Iz is the man!

In regards to drummer…I’ve seen Sorum play at the Buddy Rich Festival (drumming-Gods forum), and the man can hold his own. For logical reasons, it makes sense to include him on a “reunion” tour, only because you KNOW Adler is going to f’it up at some point.

Realistically, I just don’t see this happening. Izzy’s been happy staying out of the limelight and just being a songwriter/studio musician. Adler’s, well…Adler. Slash and Duff…think they could put aside their hatred for Axl for a full-fledged tour? Lastly, we have Axl…probably the most stuck-on-himself guy of my generation.
If only Lars or C. Robinson had actually kicked his a**…oh, well.

Oh look, now Matt’s gettin’ altruistic…

“A chance meeting with a former child of war at the recent Stuart House Benefit in Los Angeles opened Velvet Revolver drummer Matt Sorum’s eyes to the increasing number of displaced and orphaned children from the Iraq War.”

Wow. What timing. All the preceding decades he didn’t give a shit about orphans or war-torn countries and suddenly he’s jumping on the bandwagon (gee, didn’t already Slash/Perla start this trend?)

Well, I for one am neither convinced nor impressed. SAVE THE AMERICAN ORPHANS. THERE ARE PLENTY OF “OUR OWN” IN NEED AND CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME. Just might not be as glamorous or secure you headlines in the rock press.

fake-ass, wannabe rockstar, shut your pie hole.

This is fun, isn’t it? ))
All the ex-members [or call it the original line-up] now just can’t swallow the fact that newGNR is really happening, album’s out, a tour more than possible,…in hard times, no one of them cared, now they talk crap, I think they should have never sold rights of Guns N Roses name to Axl if they really cared…but truth is, they didn’t. Until now…But it’s too late. Axl doesn’t forget… And the new members were there for him when he needed, so it would be truly unfair to throw everybody from the last era out just to make reunion with all from the past. These people don’t even talk to each other. So, Matt Sorum or whatever, have no chance or right to talk or do something about this.

ya Tino you definitely have more right to talk about GN’R then someone who was IN THE BAND!!!!
Did you ever perform a show with Axl only to have him leave halfway through?
DIDN’T THINK SO!!!!!!
think twice before you talk crap about a guy who has devoted most of his life to music, his opinion is a lot more relevant than yours.
I have to agree if Axl is so great without the old members maybe he should stop using the name.

axl does not need sorum. sorum had a lot of shit to say to axl when everyone suspected chinese democracy would never happen. well it did. it went platium and now matt wants a piece of the cake. well he aint getting it. izzy or duff maybe but no one else.

GNR, in its original force still COULD beat the crap out of today’s music. If they really wanted to. You don’t mess with the best in the game. the titans of Rock music. Yet they ain’t doing shit.

CD got released but I consider that more of an Axl Rose solo project. Whether the members got along or not classic GNR will forever be the one and only for me. I respect the new band but not as GNR. Even though it’s the closest to the old sound up to this date. There isn’t any promo for it either.

desperate and running scared

There’s always the Darling Ho-letto’s Matt.

Or should I say, Stilett-Hos”

He tried to follow me on Twitter Saturday night! I DENIED ACCESS! I don’t know why either, I didn’t even put a slutty picture of myself! So the band’s not keeping you busy enough I guess Matt? Not even the Darling Stillethos?? Maybe you should try a real relationship with real kids and real responsibilities (like Duff & Slash) for a change. Oh no, that’s right. That would require GROWING UP and BEING A BIG BOY in the ADULT WORLD OF RELATIONSHIPS!!!

mi·sog·y·nist (mĭ-sŏj’ə-nĭst)
n. One who hates women.
adj. Of or characterized by a hatred of women.

The ROCK WORLD is full of Matt Sorums with their fucked up attitudes about women:

mi·sog·y·nist (mĭ-sŏj’ə-nĭst)
n. One who hates women.
adj. Of or characterized by a hatred of women.
SAINT OR SLUT … the two ways they view women. No in-between realistic view … just extremes, the way children see things. And that is why they can’t have good relationships.

“Everybody could see what was going on that was there at the gig. It was very evident. I just said, ‘Hey … ‘ That’s what I felt at the time, and the next thing I know it’s up on Blabbermouth and every other site in the world, and then I got the wrath of Mr. Scott Weiland – skinny little guy as he is. He’s the kind of guy that would drive by you in a car and shout out some shit to you, and then he’s got three buddies in there – and then run. It’s like, ‘ Fuck you too, pal!’ You know? If I saw him right now he’d probably be running down an alley way. He knows I’m twice his size.”

Interestingly, Sorum has done a 180 when it comes to another former bandmate, Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose. “I actually have a newfound liking and love for Axl Rose,” Sorum says. “I’ve said a couple of bad things about Axl, and I think they’ve come back to bite me. The one thing I know about Axl Rose, as much as a dick as he was at times, the stadium was usually sold out! A little difference between [Scott Weiland and Axl Rose]. I’m talking 50,000 not 5,000. I could deal with that. A jet, I’m not talking just a Jet, a 727, my own limo and a guy to carry my shit.”

BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH . . . ad nauseum

“The state of my family affairs is really none of [Sorum's] business, since he is too immature to have a real relationship, let alone children. So don’t attempt to stand in a man’s shoes when you haven’t walked his path. I’ve made many attempts to remain cordial with the members of VR, but mainly, the likes of you. Funny though — this is your first band, as opposed to being a hired gun. I’ve been making records (now, on my ninth), which have sold over 35 million copies worldwide and have maintained a level of professionalism regardless of how many drugs I’ve ingested into my system. I have only canceled one tour during the entire course of my 16-year run and that was the ‘make-up’ Australia tour. Now, shall I open that can of worms, Matthew? Release the Kraken? Serve … volley! You canceled the Aussie tour in the fall because you went to rehab, but I won’t say why.

“I’m talking 50,000 not 5,000. I could deal with that. A jet, I’m not talking just a Jet, a 727, my own limo and a guy to carry my shit.”

… YEAH THEY’LL PASS YOU BY

[VR Dropped From Label ....]

IN THE WINK OF A YOUNG GIRL’S EYE
GLORY DAYS!!!!!!

Another fact of grown up life Matt, NOTHING LASTS FOREVER!

MATT SORUM IS THE PROBLEM. ROOT ‘EM OUT, BOYS AND GET VR ROCKIN’ AND ROLLIN’ AGAIN.

HE KEPT TALKING AND REVEALED HIS TRUE COLORS . . . It’s so obvious MS is insecure of his drumming abilities and his manhood and hasn’t got a clue what to do with himself now …. IDLE HANDS ARE THE DEVIL’S WORK, MATT! Maybe you can volunteer your time to help all those foreign orphans you claim to care about.

MS is a cancer and should be cut out.

Axl is the problem. He is a control freak and doesn’t respect other people. He is full of hate and resentment.

He may be a “true” artist but he is not a professional … he can’t even show up to gigs on time!

If there ever was a GNR reunion, of course Matt should be there … he played on more songs tham Steven … and my guess is that Steven wouldn’t be albe to play the Illusion-era songs.

That being said, I love Appetite the most and the drumming on that album is super cool.

I’ve read the bullshit, listened to the albums and it’s come to my attention that whether it was Adler or Sorum, it would still be the same.GnR will or won’t be GnR ,not because they couldn’t get a drummer but because like all the other great bands that have gone by the wayside. ARTISTIC DIFFERENCE. Guns was a force in the 80s but that was almost 30 years ago . Rock is no longer what it was in the 60s It’ll never be what it was in the 70s and the 80s proved it; SO EVERYONE ,the lovers /haters of GnR should just GET OVER IT and ON WITH IT because if we don’t ,the WHO will be right and rock will most certainly be dead

Adler was messy but his playing fit Guns. It was more aggressive sounding — sounded like a real rock n roll drummer should. Sorum’s pussy-fisted drumming would’ve fit in well with every way-over-produced band that puts out music backed by Rolling Stone today. I guess he & Axl had that in common when they started working together.

The studio and all of the technology at their disposal was their undoing.
