:o Title: Re: Is *that* Matt Sorum in that photo? Post by: Genesis on October 09, 2005, 03:45:29 AM It is. ;D . He used to be in the band before GN'R.
Title: Re: Is *that* Matt Sorum in that photo? Post by: RichardNixon on October 09, 2005, 03:51:57 AM I own the "Y Kant Tori Read" album. I thought it was pretty good, but really dated, and super cheesy.

Title: Re: Is *that* Matt Sorum in that photo? Post by: lynn1961 on October 09, 2005, 11:37:03 AM I've never seen that before!!? :o: :rofl:? How classic!? I'll bet he looks at that picture now, and cringes.? The hair and the makeup....!
Thanks for sharing that.? Title: Re: Is *that* Matt Sorum in that photo? Post by: Doc Emmett Brown on October 09, 2005, 12:25:13 PM :rofl:
makes you wonder though...if we're gonna cringe at our own photos twenty years from now :hihi: Title: Re: Is *that* Matt Sorum in that photo? Post by: Thorazine Shuffle on October 10, 2005, 07:23:48 PM I've never seen that pic before. What the hell was he thinking?
Title: Re: Is *that* Matt Sorum in that photo? Post by: Carlos_f_Rose on October 10, 2005, 09:22:51 PM mmm strangely, he looks really good in that picture, he never got one like that in the illusion days, or nowadays...
Title: Re: Is *that* Matt Sorum in that photo? Post by: jarmo on October 11, 2005, 08:52:08 AM That's the guy who thought "what's with the piano?".....
/jarmo Title: Re: Is *that* Matt Sorum in that photo? Post by: lynn1961 on October 11, 2005, 09:31:19 AM That's the guy who thought "what's with the piano?"..... /jarmo :hihi: Well, it was a "gig", right? I guess you do what you have to do in life. Dave Kushner's admitted to touring with Vanilla Ice, and Slash was once in a funk band, right? Plus, it was the 80's & there was a lot of weird hair going on, but that hairstyle is, well, just weird.... Title: Re: Is *that* Matt Sorum in that photo? Post by: jarmo on October 11, 2005, 10:11:27 AM Sure, I guess it was just a job for him.
Still, he was in a band with Tori Amos who plays the piano and then went to be in a band with another singer who plays the same instrument. ;) /jarmo Title: Re: Is *that* Matt Sorum in that photo? Post by: Smoking Guns on October 11, 2005, 12:33:29 PM There was no piano on Appetite or Lies. I guess Sorum just thought GNR would keep doing that type of music.
Title: Re: Is *that* Matt Sorum in that photo? Post by: lynn1961 on October 11, 2005, 12:45:54 PM No, what I meant was that the Tori Amos thing was "just a job" for him.? You know, when a musician is first starting out and will play in all kinds of bands just for experience, exposure, money, whatever.? I don't mean GnR was ever just a job to him.?
Title: Re: Is *that* Matt Sorum in that photo? Post by: Carlos_f_Rose on October 11, 2005, 06:40:41 PM Leave Matt Alone, remember, Axl looking even worse, than Matt... even like a gay criature
Title: Re: Is *that* Matt Sorum in that photo? Post by: Captain P?l on October 11, 2005, 06:57:22 PM Leave Matt Alone, remember, Axl looking even worse, than Matt... even like a gay criature we are talking about matt now.. and he do look abit silly... it doesnt fit his face to have that hair, nor the makeup.. as for axl looking worse than that? not in hair/makup ways... wearing chops with notheing under is a step TOO far... but axl had STYLE! matt looks like it was forced on him!

Title: Re: Is *that* Matt Sorum in that photo? Post by: Mr. Dick Purple on October 14, 2005, 11:52:05 AM All bands in the 80's looks silly so I don't know whats the big deal :peace:

Post by: Skeletor on October 14, 2005, 04:53:40 PM Well, I've always disliked Sorum anyway, so a pic of him looking like the douche he is never fails to bring a smile to my face :)
Title: Re: Is *that* Matt Sorum in that photo? Post by: Jim Bob on October 14, 2005, 04:57:36 PM Well, I've always disliked Sorum anyway, so a pic of him looking like the douche he is never fails to bring a smile to my face :) agreed, i never thought he fit in with the rest of the band. such a douche. he looked like a douche in gnr with his swiss cheeese hair, and now he looks like a creepy ol perv. Title: Re: Is *that* Matt Sorum in that photo? Post by: lynn1961 on October 15, 2005, 01:14:35 AM All bands in the 80's looks silly so I don't know whats the big deal :peace: That is right and there will come a day, when 90's bands will look silly too... and even bands currently like, good charlotte, look silly now.. hehe So true. In the 80's, big hair was cool. I mean, when GnR first started, Axl had his hair all teased up & make-up on. Looks pretty strange now. And there was a picture of Duff (very early GnR promo pic) where he was in some fluffed up punk hair and a tie. And to call Matt a douche is unfair. Just because he's not Steven. He was in GnR longer than Steven, probably played more live shows, and recorded more with them. Everyone is different in their opinions, I know, but I consider him to be THE drummer for GnR (earlier GnR). Much better than Steven. Title: Re: Is *that* Matt Sorum in that photo? Post by: Skeletor on October 15, 2005, 04:07:23 AM And to call Matt a douche is unfair. Just because he's not Steven. Nope. Of course I can only speak for myself, but I don't hold Steven in a very high regard either; Matt replacing Steven isn't the reason I dislike the guy. Through interviews etc. I know Matt pretty much as well as anyone who doesn't actually know him personally, and based on everything I've got from him throughout the years, I've formed an opinion. He seems to be a bit of a dork. By the way, has everyone heard that "Matt Sorum Beating a Dead Horse" -mp3? If not, download here: http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/ktklahti/matt_sorum_beating_a_dead_horse.mp3 It's pretty funny, shows him using the same fill on almost all the songs on the UYI-albums. Title: Re: Is *that* Matt Sorum in that photo? Post by: RichardNixon on October 15, 2005, 10:23:44 AM Damn, am I the only one that likes Sorum's drumming? If he sucks so bad, without any feel, why would Slash and co. want him to be their drummer?
Title: Re: Is *that* Matt Sorum in that photo? Post by: lynn1961 on October 15, 2005, 12:45:08 PM No, you are not the only one.? I love Sorum, as well.? He's a great drummer, IMO.? So what if he's a dork?? A lot of people could be described as that.? ?Well, as far as some of his personal statements and attitudes, he irritates me, because he does seem to have that "rock star" mentality of sex and groupies.? But, he's a great drummer, so I can separate that out of it.? ?
Title: Re: Is *that* Matt Sorum in that photo? Post by: Captain P?l on October 15, 2005, 12:50:42 PM Damn, am I the only one that likes Sorum's drumming? If he sucks so bad, without any feel, why would Slash and co. want him to be their drummer? i love him. but i also love the new skid row, so what do i know? :p i think matt is a genius... i LOVe playing airdrums after the concert i have on tape... correction: i LOVED... Title: Re: Is *that* Matt Sorum in that photo? Post by: StoneTempleRoses on October 15, 2005, 04:35:04 PM That Sorum beating a dead horse is crazy! I never noticed that before but I love him anyways : ok:
StoneTempleRoses Title: Re: Is *that* Matt Sorum in that photo? Post by: Skeletor on October 15, 2005, 05:26:33 PM That Sorum beating a dead horse is crazy! Yep, after hearing that it's hard to listen to the UYI albums again and not pay attention to it... Title: Re: Is *that* Matt Sorum in that photo? Post by: makane on October 15, 2005, 05:44:57 PM whats with that "dead horse"? ofcourse same song has some same fill's, who took those clips from november rain?
wanna see me takes clips of Slash doing same things? and wasn't UYI drums already written when he joined? whatever... Title: Re: Is *that* Matt Sorum in that photo? Post by: Skeletor on October 15, 2005, 06:33:31 PM of course same song has some same fills The point is he's using the fills on many different songs. who took those clips from november rain? I don't understand what you're saying here. wanna see me takes clips of Slash doing same things? Sure, why not :) Title: Re: Is *that* Matt Sorum in that photo? Post by: Bridge on October 15, 2005, 10:59:44 PM And to call Matt a douche is unfair.? Just because he's not Steven.? He was in GnR longer than Steven, probably played more live shows, and recorded more with them. actually, Matt was only in GNR longer on a very technical standpoint. Steven was in GNR from 1985-1990 and played consistently during the first four years. Matt may have been employed by the band until 1997, but the band was inactive from July 1993 on (notwithstanding one cover song they recorded). So Steven actually played for longer and more than likely more live shows than Sorum. And since Steven actually recorded rough demos of the UYI songs, Steven also recorded more with GNR. Matt Sorum is okay but he wasn't much more than a touring drummer. anywho, this thread is about his ridiculous hair. ;D Title: Re: Is *that* Matt Sorum in that photo? Post by: GeraldFord on May 07, 2007, 06:00:52 AM Okay, old-ass thread. But it's such a golden-oldie. I hope others that missed it the first time around can enjoy it.
It's just too fucking funny! (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/d/d5/Y_Kant_Tori_Read_Promo_Picture.jpg/594px-Y_Kant_Tori_Read_Promo_Picture.jpg) On a different note, I wonder if Tori and Matt ever talk? Since she just released a new album (one of her best) and VR's new album is out soon, I wonder if they would tour together. Alice In Chains Tori Amos Velvet Revolver Sweet! Title: Re: Is *that* Matt Sorum in that photo? Post by: cyllan on May 07, 2007, 06:18:19 AM Thanks for posting that photo, I hadn't seen it before and on a rainy Bank Holiday Monday, I could do with a laugh. In fact, the "what the...?!" factor of it is probably up there with the photos of his wedding to Kai Benson. ;D
Title: Re: Is *that* Matt Sorum in that photo? Post by: mrlee on May 07, 2007, 07:41:20 AM thank god the cult saved matt and made him into a rocker.
