Here Today... Gone To Hell!

In yet another Guns N' Roses related rumor going around the Internet, the latest is that drummer Matt
Sorum will rejoin Axl Rose and Guns N' Roses for the new album and a tour. The current Velvet Revolver
and ex-Cult skin-basher was amused by the reports. Sorum told us that his part in the Guns N' Roses story
seems like another person's life.

"You know I haven't really thought about Axl in a long time to be honest. You know, I kind of left that behind
me in 1996 (laughs). That's ten years ago. It was a whole lifetime ago. I was in that band, but I look at it
like it was someone else's movie. We got off the road in 1993. That was the last time Guns N' Roses played.
So it's been thirteen years since I've played in that band, really. I've done five or six albums since then, and
ten tours and Axl hasn't done sh-t, so I don't know what to tell you."

Sorum is still with Velvet Revolver, helping to write songs for the band's forthcoming album. Sorum replaced
original drummer Steve Adler in 1990, and he played on the Use Your Illusion albums, the last recordings of
all-new material released by the band.

Axl Rose has booked two New York City dates at the Hammerstein Ballroom May 15th and 17th.

Funny when he sees Axl in NYC he's all buddy-buddy to him telling him he's the greatest frontman. fuck Matt Sorum.

If nothing else, that should squash rumors that Sorum's back in the band, yes?

Yeah man no reunion I agree. We have to respect people like Tommy, Brain, Finck and Fortus who have work hard at least for the last 5 years.

But unfortunately have nothing to show for it thus far.

I agree, but that doesn't mean the same thing as "not doing s**t," to quote Sorum.

Sorum is such a fucking tool.

He kisses Axl's ass when he runs into him , be he is alwyas talking shit about the guy every chance he gets. LIke who are you fooling?


Sorum owes so much to Axl and GNR but loves to rip him anyway.

Id rather see anybody in the world play drums for GNR over Matt Sorum

Do we know how old this interview is? This could've been done before he met Axl in NYC.

Seems like an old quote.

It can't be that old if it references the Hammerstein shows.  Granted, the quote could be recycled...

Even if it was before, it dont matter. He still sucked up to Axl when he saw him. That would just make it worse, cause he talks shit, then he sees him and kisses his ass. Matt sucks.

doesnt makes difference

first- talk shit about axl
second- kiss axl's ass in nyc

or

first- kiss axl's ass in nyc
second- talk shit about axl

2 Hammerstein dates? Must have been written in between on-sale dates.

This was before they met

Right, but still, the article can't be that old then.  Hard to say how recent the quote itself might be, though...

yup -- what he said.  It predates his meeting with Axl by quite some time.  I'm not a Sorum fan, but putting up with Axl during the UYI tour could not have been easy on anyone.  Axl was an absolute ass for much of that tour.

the article was posted TODAY in ultimate guitar

Sorum never said that to Axl - stop making stuff up.

He said in his blog that he told Axl that he was a great frontman "while he was in the band".

Meaning that Matt doesn't think highly of anything Axl's done since then.

They haven't been "not doing shit" because I'm sure they have worked very hard, but theres nothing in the public domain of the new band thats an official release yet, which is such a shame because they are all talented musicians. I also see where Sorum is coming from but its a pretty harsh thing to say.

Can we dig up all the quotes Axl said about Izzy? They are friends again now. It does sound like Matt changes his story a lot, but this is the entertainment business-these guys seem to say different things all the time-it's like holding Axl accountable for things he did said back in '92 or '93-I think Axl has mellowed out a lot, seems happier-anyway, were dealing with rock stars with big egos.`

Here's two, which are quite harsh too say about someone who up until a year or two ago (1991) was your best friend:


Axl: Izzy wrote it! I think he was writing a song all about himself! He was having a real introspective moment. This is for him, well first, lets dedicate it to him, because he's nothing but a Double Talkin' Jive Motherfucker.

Axl: You guys remember Izzy? Yeah? Well fuck Izzy! This is the 'Izzy Stradlin Can Suck My Dick' song! This is a song that Izzy wrote probably about himself one morning when he was looking in the mirror on too much crack! This is a song called Double Talkin' Jive Motherfucker.

Old quote.  Had it been new, he would have noted that he talked to Axl not long ago.  Sounds like an old quote and by adding the Hamerstein dates makes it appear new. 

I agree completely.  He would have mentioned meeting Axl if it were new.  Also, if they did "clear the air" during their recent meeting in NYC, he wouldn't have sounded so hostile in this quote.  Or, at least, I hope he wouldn't.

You guys and your quotes....really funny shit.  I'm sure EVERYONE here has said something bad about someone during/after an arguement and then later on your feelings have changed or you became indifferent about them.  I mean, how many of you have ever told off your mom when you were 8 and say "I wish you were never born" or some dumb shit like that.  Do you still wish that about your mom?

People get angry/upset, people say shit.  adults reconcile and move on.  Forgive them for not emailing all of us directly and letting us know that "things are cool with me and Axl now".

that quote is old.. it came out around the same time as Sorums forgettable solo album "hollywood zen"

Axl will show him the "sh-t" he's done in these 10 years.

And the 5 albums, tours or whatever Matt's done these years will be nothing compared to what's to come from Mr. Rose. Poor Matt... He'll be humiliated. Well, I know I would if I were him.

Matt eats a dick anyway.. he stole like 75% of Adlers work on the Illusion songs, sweet. :confused:

Old quote. I don't think Axl or Matt will lose much sleep over this.... whatever they said to each other face-to-face trumps this crap...

Are we sure he really said this?  I can't believe he would say that after so  much praise a couple weeks ago.  If he did, fuck em.  That's bullshit.  And I dig Matt

its an old quote

i always though after every time i heard sorum speak that he came off sounding like he was the main reason for gnr's success. 

Sorums my least fav of the gunners hell id take pittman over him.  All he does is talk shit behind axls back

Nice to his face, but disses him in the press. Matt is a real scumbag.
