i think it's kinda funny that he's looking for an investor.  seems to me like he should easily be able to afford to make an album!!!

Also, he's putting out feelers on Twitter.

the typical message to your bandmates when you want them to make a quick choice for a singer, right?

I think Slash and Duff know that Matt would drop that solo project like a bad habit if VR was gearing back up.

Does anyone have any info. on what this "new solo project" is all about?

From Matt Sorum:

Good day in the studio today. New project that is going to be sick

More good tunes for the new band project in Drac studios today. Most excited I've been about music in a long time.

Bandmates?

I think it's bandmate, meaning Slash.

Make no mistake, the future (or lack there of) of VR lies underneath the top hat -he's obviously the one who's been hesitant to move forward with a singer decision..

It's all getting abit silly and boring now, all of the VR members doing side projects. 

I actually feel sorry for Matt more than the rest, as he is just acking to get back to work on VR as you could tell in that interview a few weeks ago. And if they are going to call it a day on VR, time to fuckin tell people. 

VR were not that big of a band to begin with, so all of this stringing fans along who are waiting for a positive comment about VR, or anything is very unfortunate. 

And also, I'd like to tell Slash that he needs to cut the crap and start working with Duff, Matt and Dave again. he seems to think he is God or something, the way he expects all of his bandmembers to wait for him in regards to VR.

Well, with Velvet Revolver not happening now, and I agree with what Falcon posted -- these "side projects' are "their projects."

@One.In.A.Million: Loaded is surtanly not crap that should be cut!!! Rather Loaded than VR

Apart from that, I think Matt Sorums last solo effort gave us some good songs! No point in stressing the VR-thing....

I don't believe Slash thinks he is God! And His solo work is not crap! And I don't think he cares what his VR bandmates are doing. And it is my guess that he does not expect them to wait around on him either.

Slash  is in a positive enviorment he likes working with Myles and his solo band. He has made it clear to his fans what his intentions are for the foreseeable future. If VR has a future it seems it will have to wait on Slash. I'm sure if his VR bandmates want to move on without him they can.

Ah I might get his album depends on who is singing because Matt is a good drummer but I got other stuff I want to get from our Ex-Gunners I have none of Loaded songs or any of Izzy's solo stuff.

Matt is really cool there.   Nice guy for sure.   I think he is on That Metal Show tonight!  I'll get his album too.

Can point out for me where I said loaded were crap?, read my post again and get back to me. 

I'd take Loaded over everything Slash has done post GN'R, I love Wasted Heart and Flatline.

He said in a recent interview that the new solo project will be with his girlfriend Ace.  He added ""I'm not even the same guy in that band, I have a different name and everything...and I wear weird hats and a lot of makeup."

I'm not really sure Matt, seems like the standard type of clothes you've been wearing the last few years. 

On a serious note, I'm glad Matt has found an outlet for his musicianship, he's a great guy who's always up for a laugh.

I was under the impression he was talking about The Darling Stilletos with that quote.
