VELVET REVOLVER/ex-GUNS N' ROSES drummer Matt Sorum was recently asked by the Artisan News Service is his public spat with the now-former VELVET REVOLVER singer Scott Weiland has made him have newfound appreciation for one Axl Rose.

He responded: "Yeah. (laughs) No, no... Both... I actually have a newfound liking and love for Axl Rose (laughs). You can print that (laughs). I've said a couple of bad things about Axl, and I think they've come back to bite me in the ass. The one thing I know about Axl Rose, as much as a dick as he was at times, the stadium was usually sold out (laughs)! A little difference between those two guys. I'm talking 50,000 not 5,000 (laughs). I could deal with that. A jet, I'm not talking just a Jet, a 727, my own limo and a guy to carry my shit (laughs)."

He also shared his thoughts on Weiland leaving and rejoining STONE TEMPLE PILOTS.

"Yeah, then it got personal," he said. "It's a drag. We're relieved as Slash said (laughs). Hey man, it was great while it lasted, sort of like a relationship. It's over. It's all good. We're moving on. I guess they're doing fine, the STP. That's his original band, and he probably feels more at home there. That's cool."

I'm not sure what he's getting at with that comment.  But, it sounds kinda shallow and my honest reaction was to roll my eyes when I read it.  Roll Eyes

Sorum tells it like it is.

Even thought somtimes he can be a jackass, he does tell it the way it needs to be said.

Like him for that, but Adler is a better drummer!

what a dick lol, does he not realise very few rock bands will play that size shows again because the audiences of today arnt all rock mad like they were back in those glory days.

Is it hard to understand why Scott didn't get along with this guy?

Well, he does tell it like it is, doesn't he?  Personally, I thought it was kind of funny.  He definitely likes the "rock star" perks, that's for sure.

umm I missing something? why are people having a problem with what Matt said?  He was saying pretty much the same thing that Slash said, although Slash's way was not as direct as this one...he was saying that Axl Rose was worth the trouble and Scott Weiland wasnt...and hes RIGHT...hes also pointing out that what STP accomplished was a tiny fraction of what GNR did.... who on this board would actually disagree with that?
