VR was to open for GNR at RiR (according to Sorum)

Okay okay, so I thought this was interesting. I picked up this little tidbit from the GnR bar. KNAC.com had done an exclusive interview with my favourite drummer (sorry Brian & Steven!) Matt Sorum. You can read the interview here ::
http://www.knac.com/article.asp?ArticleID=3152
In any case, Matt had this to say with regards to Rock in Rio 4... you know, the gig where GnR pulled out? I dunno if it is for real, or if he said it as a joke. I suppose you are all going to have to read and decide for yourselves. And I quote...
KNAC.COM: If the timing worked out, would you be amenable to going out on tour with the new Guns ?N Roses?
SORUM: No. You mean with Axl? [Laughter] Nuh huh. Nononononono. No. This is a great band--
KNAC.COM: --When I say that, I mean Velvet Revolver touring with the new project.
SORUM: Ohhh. Who would open? [Laughter]
KNAC.COM: Well Guns ?N Roses, of course!
SORUM: Oh, I doubt that! But, you know, um... I don't know. Actually we were offered a gig in Lisbon, Portugal opening for Guns ?N Roses [Laughter]. The NOW Guns ?N Roses, whatever that consists of, but we actually said okay. We'd love to be there. It'd be very exciting. I think it would be quite a spectacle. Sure. Why not?

If Axl got word of that it could be a reason he canceled early so as not to cause controversy. He wouldnt like the attention, plus hes known for the occasional long Slash rant.

fuck you matt sorum.
WTF?? He's saying he's worked with Axl before... and he doesn't want to put himself through that again (for whatever reasons).
He didn't comment on the new guys in GN'R. Calm your puss down.
.... Just out of curiosity... since it's against the rules to insult other board members... if Matt Sorum had an account on HTGTH, then we could ban clintron vs. the Abominable Dr. Phibes right?.... or if Slash or Duff did, we could ban dave-gnfr2k?

If Matt thinks he is more than the new members of GNR (and I am not saying he does) it's probably cause he has a bit of history with the most the original members
I think seeing Velvet Revolver and the new GNR tour, or just play one show, together would be awesome. But I do not honestly think it would ever happen

i just checked the interview again to make sure,
you do have your wires crossed dude, explain what the fuck you mean!!!!
n' then i'll calm down
and what i mean is that Matt isnt origenal and he doesnt have the right to say GnR isnt GNR, he's calling it Axl.

Why are you so sure that it was RIR4? I can't see anyone to mention it, but Eeebs. It could be RIR5 'cause as it'll take place in Lisbon again.

Of anyone involved with GNR from 1985 to 1996, Matt is the one who should shut the hell up about Axl. Yeah yeah yeah, he's entitled to an opinion. Fuck that. Nobody in the world - other than some rock triva buffs - would know who Matt Sorum is it wasn't for Axl Rose. Axl pushed GNR into stardom, I mean into the big leagues... not just being a kickass band. Axl took them the the top level. And Matt got involved way after Axl and the original lineup made their mark. I'm sure it was hell at times to work with Axl, but Matt should keep that shit out of the press. Slash, Duff, Steven, Izzy... okay, if that's what they gotta do. But not Matt.

You have your opinion(s) about Axl and co, why the hell should Matt 'shut the hell up' when he know's Axl far better than you.? He is entitled to say what ever he wants.
Doesn't mean he has to influence your opinions, now does it!
