Title: Matt Sorum Gets Set To Drum With Mot?rhead Post by: CheapJon on August 27, 2009, 12:02:31 PM http://www.classicrockmagazine.com/news/velvet-revolvers-matt-sorum-to-drum-with-motorhead/
Quote Velvet Revolver drummer Matt Sorum is set to deputise for Mikkey Dee on the Mot?rhead drumstoool ? while Dee appears in the Swedish version of TV?s I?m A Celebrity? Get Me Out Of Here! On the one-year anniversary of the release of Mot?rizer, and the day prior to embarking on a North American tour, Mot?rhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister spoke exclusively with Aaron Small from BraveWords.com. It was recently announced that Mot?rhead drummer Mikkey Dee will only partake in the first and final dates of this 29 city trek. Reason being, he?ll be filming Sweden?s version of I?m A Celebrity? Get Me Of Here! ?I can?t wait to see that,? chuckles Lemmy. ?He?s in the Malaysian jungle, and he doesn?t like bugs. And I think they have to be parachuted into the fucking thing ? and he doesn?t like heights either. So it?s definitely going to be worth watching.? The question beckons, who will Mikkey?s temporary replacement be? Lemmy answers: ?Matt Sorum? of The Cult, Guns N? Roses, Velvet Revolver and Camp Freddy. Although Matt is only a couple of weeks away from joining Mot?rhead on stage, surprisingly he hasn?t rehearsed with the band. ?No, not yet. He?s going to have to learn some bits of it from the live DVDs. He?ll come out for a couple of days before he starts to watch Mikkey to get the idea. He?ll be alright, he?s a professional.? It seems rather strange, Mikkey missing the majority of a tour to be part of a reality TV show. Lemmy clarifies the situation: ?Well he already had it booked, you see. The tour came late. He didn?t tell anybody that he?d declared himself for this thing. Otherwise I would have insisted on him doing the tour, obviously. But seeing as it was a prior obligation, if you say you?ll be there? I think he?s already had the fucking shots, the anti-tropical disease shots.?

MOT?RHEAD drummer Mikkey Dee will sit out most of the band's upcoming North American tour in order to take part in the first season of "K?ndisdjungeln", the Swedish version of the popular U.K. and U.S. reality-TV show "I'm a Celebrity?Get Me out of Here!" "I start the U.S. tour with MOT?RHEAD on August 27," Dee tells the Expressen newspaper. "I just have time to play a couple of gigs before it's time to go to the jungles of Malaysia to do this TV show. I will then rejoin the band on the road and finish out the tour." http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=125248 Here are Mot?rhead's 2009 U.S. tour dates: 8/28 Minneapolis, MN First Avenue 8/29 Milwaukee, WI Eagles Ballroom 8/30 Chicago, IL House of Blues 9/01 Detroit, MI Motor City Casino 9/02 Toronto, Ontario, Canada Sound Academy 9/03 Montreal, Quebec, Canada Metropolis 9/05 Atlantic City, NJ House of Blues 9/06 Boston, MA House of Blues 9/08 Washington, D.C. 9:30 Club 9/09 New York, NY Roseland 9/11 Charlotte, NC Fillmore 9/12 Cherokee, NC Cherokee Motorcycle Rally 9/15 Tampa, FL Ritz Ybor 9/16 Orlando, FL House of Blues 9/18 Houston, TX Warehouse Live 9/19 Dallas, TX Palladium 9/20 Austin, TX Stubb's 9/23 St. Louis, MO Pageant 9/24 Kansas City, MO Midland Theatre 9/28 Calgary, Alberta, Canada Flames Central 9/29 Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Events Center 10/1 Vancouver, BC, Canada Vogue 10/2 Seattle, WA Showbox Sodo 10/3 Portland, OR Roseland 10/5 San Francisco, CA Warfield 10/7 Anaheim, CA House Of Blues 10/9 Los Angeles, CA Nokia Live 10/10 Las Vegas, NV House Of Blues Title: Re: Matt Sorum Gets Set To Drum With Mot?rhead Post by: Jdog0830 on September 03, 2009, 04:45:06 PM Dam Matt better be ready for this a hell of a lot of shows
Title: Re: Matt Sorum Gets Set To Drum With Mot?rhead Post by: Dayle1066 on September 03, 2009, 06:32:25 PM It wont matter if he gets voted off straight away lol
Title: Re: Matt Sorum Gets Set To Drum With Mot?rhead Post by: gunner22 on September 03, 2009, 06:36:45 PM it is an odd choice to say the least Indeed. Why? Because Matt and Mikkey are very, very different drummers. That's why it's going to be so intersting to see this happening. As a Mot?rhead fan, I'd think of many other drummers before thinking of Matt Sorum to replace Mikkey. But I'm sure Matt can pull it off. Title: Re: Matt Sorum Gets Set To Drum With Mot?rhead Post by: Dayle1066 on September 04, 2009, 11:01:08 AM I think Matts cool and everything but I think Mikkey Dee is the best drummer in hard rock. Just endless power and groove. Matts just rock solid.
Title: Re: Matt Sorum Gets Set To Drum With Mot?rhead Post by: gunner22 on September 04, 2009, 09:08:57 PM I think Matts cool and everything but I think Mikkey Dee is the best drummer in hard rock. Just endless power and groove. Matts just rock solid. Indeed. It ain't gonna be easy to fill Mikkey's shoes. Title: Re: Matt Sorum Gets Set To Drum With Mot?rhead Post by: FunkyMonkey on September 08, 2009, 05:13:09 PM Here it says it will be a two week hiatus, but I've read it will be longer?
But the lineup that played Boston, with guitarist Phil Campbell and drummer Mikky Dee, has been together 17 years. That?s as close to permanent as it gets (Dee is set to embark on a two-week hiatus to film the Swedish version of ?I?m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!?; Guns N? Roses/Velvet Revolver drummer Matt Sorum, who was at the show studying for his temp job, will fill his spot.) http://news.bostonherald.com/entertainment/music/general/view/20090908motorhead_roars_into_house_of_blues/srvc=home&position=also Title: Re: Matt Sorum Gets Set To Drum With Mot?rhead Post by: Butch Français on September 08, 2009, 07:04:04 PM But I'm a bit surprised he was their choice. it is an odd choice to say the least Apparently he was the 2nd choice behind Dave Grohl. I think Dave is pretty much every rock/metal/punkbands first choice, so that's no surprise. it'll sure be cool to see Matt playing with them!

For a couple of weeks during Mot?rhead's U.S. headlining tour, the band's long-time basher of skins, drummer Mikkey Dee, will be filming season one of K?ndisdjungeln, Sweden's version of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Of Here! Velvet Revolver drummer, Matt Sorum, got the call from Lemmy and will fill in during Mikkey's absence. Formerly of Guns N' Roses and The Cult, Matt is a world-class musician. He and Lemmy have been friends since they toured together when Mot?rhead performed some dates with GN'R and Metallica years ago. Matt will come out to a few of the early tour dates to "watch Mikkey and get the idea," says Lem. "He'll be alright, he's a professional." Matt Sorum was the drummer at last night's Motorhead show at Roseland Ballroom in NYC which had almost as many bands on the bill (4) as the number of dollars some people paid for tickets (5). Opening acts at the 9/9/9 show were Reverend Horton Heat, Nashville Pussy, and The Episodes who come from Ohio and have some members that aren't old enough to drive yet.

MOT?RHEAD's LEMMY Says 'Breakdown In Communication' Is To Blame For DEE's Absence From Tour - Sep. 11, 2009 Former GUNS N' ROSES and current VELVET REVOLVER drummer Matt Sorum played his second show with MOT?RHEAD Wednesday night (September 9) at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City. Fan-filmed video footage of the performance can be viewed below. http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=126760 Title: Re: Matt Sorum Gets Set To Drum With Mot?rhead Post by: FunkyMonkey on September 13, 2009, 06:25:25 PM At 9:30, Lemmy marched on stage with his black cowboy hat and boots looking like a civil war general ready for battle. He readied his bass and growled into the mic, ?We are Motorhead, and we play rock 'n? roll!? What followed was 90 great minutes of Motorhead, the loudest band on the planet. A band so loud, your brain fills with fuzz, the only sane thing to do is to nod your head and smack your hands against your thighs with every snare hit. Unfortunately, behind the snare smashing wasn?t the usual Mickey Dee, but Matt Sorum of Guns n' Roses filling in decently for a fast, loud and relentless set led by the wart faced God himself Lemmy Kilmister. Long-time Motorhead vet Phil Campbell shredded at his side.

Title: Re: Matt Sorum Gets Set To Drum With Mot?rhead Post by: FunkyMonkey on September 18, 2009, 07:24:44 PM Motorhead @ House of Blues Orlando (9-16-09)
Filling in on drums for Mikkey Dee (who apparently is a cast member on a Swedish reality TV show and couldn?t make this tour) is Matt Sorum (The Cult, Guns & Roses, Velvet Revolver) ? it was a surprise, no doubt, but Sorum met the challenge and played one hell of a set ? he is a hard-hitting drummer, and didn?t miss a single beat...I was particularly impressed with Sorum, because he opened this tour just a week before this show after only one rehearsal with the band. http://www.examiner.com/x-1758-Orlando-Punk-and-Indie-Music-Examiner~y2009m9d18-Motorhead--The-Reverend-Horton-Heat--House-of-Blues-Orlando-91609 Title: Re: Matt Sorum Gets Set To Drum With Mot?rhead Post by: Jdog0830 on September 21, 2009, 01:18:19 AM He's doing great so far : ok:
Title: Re: Matt Sorum Gets Set To Drum With Mot?rhead Post by: FunkyMonkey on September 21, 2009, 09:21:06 PM For the most part the reviews have been positive. And the shows must be loud, I don't think I've seen a review yet that hasn't mentioned the sound.
Of course, he had plenty reason to be pleased; joining Lemmy on stage was longtime guitarist Phil Campbell and former Guns N' Roses drumemr Matt Sorum, whose showmanship, if somewhat wankerish, offered a perfect backing to the Lemmy's posturing and, well, incredibly loud performance. And from the show yesterday at Stubb's Austin TX: The drum chair was filled in by former Cult/Guns ?n? Roses drummer Matt Sorum, who performed pretty much perfectly. As with most Motorhead shows, classic tracks ruled the day (?Stay Clean,? ?Ace of Spades,? ?Killed By Death?) with a few new ones here and there (?Rock Out,? ?Just ?Cos You Got The Power?) that didn?t sound all that different from the old stuff.

"I was absolutely blown away and was very honored to get the call," Sorum tells U.K.'s Classic Rock magazine. "I got a text from [MOT?RHEAD bassist/vocalist] Lemmy and called him back right away and said, 'Why are you calling me?' [laughs] I was at home by the pool, rubbing lotion on my lovely girlfriend, and now here I am. I manned up!" "Matt was right up for it immediately," Lemmy told Classic Rock. "That's really rare; a lot of guys wouldn't do it on short notice." "It's been one of the most challenging things I've ever done," added Sorum. "It's the best tour I've ever done: I've lost a few pounds and got about 25 blisters, which is great!"

September 29, 2009 I was relieved to learn during our conversation that Mot?rhead's lightning-fast and obscenely heavy drummer Mikkey Dee was back in the fold after a brief absence spent participating as a contestant in the Swedish version of "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!" He was temporarily replaced by Guns N' Roses/Velvet Revolver drummer Matt Sorum... http://www.seattleweekly.com/2009-09-30/music/rocket-queen-lemmy-tells-you/ Title: Re: Matt Sorum Gets Set To Drum With Mot?rhead Post by: FunkyMonkey on October 08, 2009, 09:12:20 PM I just saw this, it is dated Sept. 23rd from Matt Sorum.
Fillin in for Mikkey Hey Friends, Have been out on the road for 6 shows with the mighty Motorhead filling in for the great Mikkey Dee. It is a real honor to be onstage with these guys. Mikkey is some big shoes to fill. Got a text from Lemmy about a week prior to them leaving on tour. Met up with the boys in Atlantic City and watched Mikkey do his thing as well as Boston. Took some notes from the live show and a cool Wacken, Germany DVD to learn the show. Had one rehearsal the day before at 930 Club and jumped in the following night. It was a bit of a challenge I must say. Learning 18 songs , wanting it to be as good as possible so as not to let any of the fans down. 6 gigs in have to say startin to feel great now and want to thank everyone who came out and supported Motorhead in Mikkeys absense. It has been an amazing tour so far hanging with Lemmy, Phil and the entire Motorhead crew. These guys are the real deal and can teach us all a thing or two about Rock n Fuckin Roll. I hope to see you out at the next few shows with Motorhead. Long Live Lemmy,Phil and Mikkey?. Motorhead!!!!! matt Title: Re: Matt Sorum Gets Set To Drum With Mot?rhead Post by: FunkyMonkey on January 12, 2010, 12:58:48 PM MOTORHEAD MEMORIES
