Thanks to funkymonkey for the heads up.

Take a listen here, somewhere between 1/2 and 2/3 through:

http://www.6767.com/radio/podcast/cfrjune7.mp3

Talks about Cornell, Bach (sorry in advance Bach fans) and a few others.

Explains the Rolling Stone interview and the "Nobody's waiting on an STP reunion" comment, talks (complimentary and apologetic) about a singer from a former band. 

Good banter between he and Navarro in general, a good listen.

Yeah, it starts at about 1:01

He got a message from Duff during the show "what about Beth Hart for the singer"...Matt goes on to say that Duff did not think this felt right.

He says that they are auditioning singers next week.

They are sending 2 instrumental tracks to some prospects.

There is a lot there. :D

I assume the former singer in question is Mr. Rose.

Can anyone summarize what he said about Mr. Rose?

^^If I remember correctly...he said "I love the guy" and says "I'm sorry Axl" in reference to past comments he has made.  Regarding one comment Matt says he (Matt) was arrogant, drunk and being stupid.

They talk about how great it would be to get a singer like Axl Rose.

Dave was saying how bad ass it would be if they got Axl Rose.  Also said that Kushner said to Sorum, "I found the guy", Sorum said who, Kushner said "Axl Rose".  Ha.  Sorum thought it was funny.  I think he apologized for making fun of Scott and STP as well.

Says he wants someone that can write too, not just someone that can sing Slither.

MATT SORUM To 'Mean, Weird People' On BLABBERMOUTH.NET: 'Go Get A Life!' - June 10, 2008

During this past weekend's (June 7) edition of "Camp Freddy Radio" ? the weekly radio show on Los Angeles' Indie 103.1 station hosted by members of the "jam" supergroup CAMP FREDDY ? co-hosts Matt Sorum (VELVET REVOLVER/ex-GUNS N' ROSES drummer) and Dave Navarro (ex-JANE'S ADDICTION/RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS guitarist) discussed VELVET REVOLVER's search for a new frontman following the recent departure of Scott Weiland. An excerpt from the discussion follows.

Navarro: Did Perry Farrell [ex-JANE'S ADDICTION] come up as an option [for the new VELVET REVOLVER singer]?

Sorum: Someone mentioned it to me. You go on Blabbermouth?

Navarro: Yeah, yeah, yeah? Don't read those comments, by the way.

Sorum: The people there on Blabbermouth? What is wrong with them?

Navarro: Dude, welcome to my life, by the way.

Sorum: Do you get on there and read that?

Navarro: No, not anymore.

Sorum: My old lady, she makes me shut that stuff off. Some mean, mean, weird people are on there.

Navarro: Yeah, it's horrible.

Sorum: What are they doing out there?

Navarro: Nothing. I'll tell you what they're not doing, Matt. They're not making records and selling millions of them and affecting the lives? [gets cut off by Matt]

Sorum: [Raising his voice] Yeah, talk about that on Blabbermouth!

Navarro: ?affecting the lives of millions of people like you. So don't listen to them because they're NOT doing that, I guarantee you.

Sorum: Yeah. When me and Weiland got into that pissing match a little bit?

Navarro: Were there sides? Did people take sides?

Sorum: Oooo? Oh, God?

Navarro: Were people against you?

Sorum: Oh, man?

Navarro: Really?

Sorum: I got on there one night and started scrolling down?

Navarro: Oh, don't scroll down. [Matt bursts out laughing.] Read the story and call it a day. Trust me.

Sorum: And it sort of? like those bad reality shows, it sucked me in.

Navarro: No scrolling, please. [Laughs]

Sorum: I've gotta say it to you, people, man? You didn't affect me at all. Screw you. [Laughs] I say, go get a life.
