Re: Velvet Revolver Sorum Newfound Love For Axl Rose
Matt Sorum has seen his share of enigmatic frontmen from Ian Astbury of the Cult, Axl Rose of Guns N Roses, and lastly Scott Weiland. Weiland and Velvet Revolver recently parted ways, with Scott joining his ex bandmates for a Stone Temple Pilots Reunion tour.
Sorum and Weiland have had their blog battle, and we asked him if dealing with Scott Weiland made him have a newfound appreciation for one Axl Rose.
Does Matt Sorum Have A New Appreciation For Axl
"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 d--k 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 s--t (laughs)."
He also shared his thoughts on Weiland leaving and re-joining STP.
Sorum On Weiland Getting Personal Stp Vr Relieved
"Yeah, then it got personal. 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."
Sorum also detailed what Velvet Revolver is going to do about finding a replacement for Weiland, and well have the news a little later this week. Meanwhile, Weiland and Stone Temple Pilots kicked off their summer tour dates with Rock On The Range, and theyll be playing sheds throughout the summer.

The only thing he misses about Axl was that he got to be more famous when playing with him. Nice.
Yeah, Sorum really shoots himself in the foot when making these types of comments.
I'd love to see the look on Sorum's face when Axl calls Slash and says, "Its reunion time. By the way, don't bring Matt".
Re: Velvet Revolver Sorum Newfound Love For Axl Rose
All rock personas think it. You guys just think Matt is an ass for saying it. Personally, I don't have a problem with it. Every one of them has an ego. Some just hide it better than others. matt's a drummer for Christ's sake - he's probably just happy somebody is listening to him.

Re: Velvet Revolver Sorum Newfound Love For Axl Rose
I don't get what's so bad about what Matt says here, or even in general. Everyone else seems to tip toe around Axl, but Matt tells it like it is. He seems like a laidback dude that doesn't take any of this too seriously.
