Actually Axl is quite a bit better now than he was. He's even lost some weight. I believe he listened to criticism.

I wish steven and izzy were part of the reunion

Matt could easily be Matthew McConoughay’s slightly older brother 😮

Matt is the ONLY reason i am a drummer, and i am Danish. He influenced drummers all over the world.

I can't understand why Matt isn't sitting on Gn´R drums these days. I swear I think about it and analyze it and I can't understand it.

Matt is very proactive in music. Axl probably didn't like his input. Same when he was in The Cult. Matt has a solid musical upbringing. 5:32

Met him at the meet and greet, at the last Velvet Revolver show in Amsterdam. One of the great groovers, with a massive sound and don't forget his background vocals! For me he is THE drummer for the Cult. When he does his groove on "She sells sanctuary" ,they sound so much better. Huge fan. I know so much more about him, after this pod cast. Well done guys!

Most of the comments state what I think... Top Drummer. I just want to add the fact that Matt Sorum is 63 years old... 63 !!! Looks like he is in his late 40's!

His drum work in Slash' Snakepit and Velvet Revolver.. just amazing ♥

And, on a side note, how good does this guy look for almost 63 years of age. What a legend!

Matt was one of the drummers in the 90s I looked up to. I miss his drumming and his energy! He's so much fun to watch.

One of my All Time Favorite drummers 🤘🤘

I've met Matt at the Rainbow. He was super cool and nice. I'm in Brazil now watching this. And am also from here. Matt is authentic and talented. It was the best meeting him. Great interview you guys!

Adler and Sorum were two of my biggest musical influences growing up. Love this!

This hit my soul...I remember being around the same age..12 or 13 discovering the VR material...Lets all keep rocking💯✅

He is a great drummer and interesting person… I saw G’nR back in ‘91 before the Use Your Illusion albums were released and just before Izzy left the band… it was a great show except the security was just everywhere because of the Saint Louis riot a week or so before 👍 I like Matt because he is a part of that LA clique but is still down to earth enough to be bearable.

Just like VelevetRevolver changed both of y’all’s lives November Rain video did it for me! Great interview

Matt is the reason velvet revolver exist, he's the one who called duff and slash to do the charity event. He's the one who swallowed his pride and got the guys back together and surprise surprise, they realized they were meant to be together. He deserves the most credit for velvet revolver, in my opinion. It feels like Duff and Slash were too cool to admit they needed each other to be truly outstanding. They are all great on their own but absolutely unstoppable together.

Greetings from Australia guys. This is an absolute top notch interview.. Enjoyed it so much.

This is so great to listen to, lots of cool history and always loved Matt's drumming and vibe. Awesome interview! Matt keep Rockin' hard dude 🤘🤘DC

Great interview, Matt is such a cool guy

Great interview guys! 🤩Wish Matt could drum for us LOL

Love Matt! He is the definition of cool. I highly recommend reading his book, it is really good. He does not boast much about how he helps out in his community, like the school music programs, helping our vets etc. Just an overall good dude.

That was a great interview. Matt seems like a chill guy.

Matt Sorum makes a band better..........I always knew who the drummer was whether it was The Cult, GnR, Velvet Revolver........Great drummer!

Matt seems like a genuine guy good interview

This interview brought me joy. Matt is the reason I wanted to learn how to play drums. I could listen to his GnR stories all day long.

I really enjoy listening to Matt. He's got a great rhythm in the way he talks. Also, he's freakin' super cool and has such great experience in Rock and Roll, the 80's and 90's, and it's really fun to "re-live" his stories with him as they unfold easily with his style of talking. He's cool!

WE NEED A SINGER LETS GET VELVET REVOLVER, GOING I MISS THAT MUSIC SO MUCH

For me, Matt plays energetically, he takes it more seriously when he plays drum than Steven. 😁 For a new drummer who is joining Gun's N Roses, it's not easy to learn and show their song. Only Matt and Bryan Mantia are capable of filling this position. Even Slash never plays the original solo of their song, but the key is the drummer.

One thing that makes this interview really, really great for me is that, when Matt talks, he has this 1000 mile stare, and you can clearly see that, as he's remembering things, he can see it... great stuff...great memories from the heart... Doesn't get any better then that....

Dude looks great for 60s

I want to know if Matt slash and duff thought velvet revolver was the second coming of gnr had Scott llved I think they would have been

The Rise of Velvet Revolver Documentary is really good. The doc is largely based on finding a singer. Even has a tad bit of stress/drama that great musicians can go through to find the right front man. I won't spoil it. Ignore me if you have seen it. I was lucky enough to see Matt Sorum with The Cult and VR! 🤘

This was one of, if not, the best interviews I've heard. Matt's so real and almost humble to a fault. Guys a bad ass!

This is great stuff. Thanks guys! Greetings from Denmark

Its freaking me out, I see and hear Scott Weiland in Matt as he ages.

Awesome!! Ty 😊

I heard Matt recorded Locomotive in one take! Great to hear the back story to his career. It wasn’t mentioned but Gregg Bisonnette said that he met Matt at an audition for a David Lee Roth The use your illusion videos were pivotal in my influence and def Matt and slash in that way!

Great interview! Legend on the drums!

thank you heaps for this interview!

What an amazing, chill, warm interview. Matt is a solid drummer and I have to admit, I was also fonder of Adler in GNR but Matt is a super down to earth dude. Great drummer, even greater man.

This was great. Really enjoyed it. Well done lads 👏 One thing missing though was the question as to why wasn’t Matt asked to join current version of GnR? His inclusion would have only made it better imo

What a fantastic interview! Great questions, great rapport, and Matt shared some stories I hadn’t heard before about the GN’R era.

My band The Passenger used to play Slither. We played in the club TJ’s in Newport (Wales, UK) one time in 2006/7 maybe. The band on before us didn’t sound like us or VR for that matter but they played Slither. It was great how that record hit us all and how that band was very modern and not a GnR throwback. Good times.

great interview, loved the questions oriented toward what Matt feelings were, really cool interview

Great interview. Greets from Poland.

Matt Sorum's book is a great read!

great interview! a great drummer and great to hear all theses stories!

i don't like guns and roses without matt, great drummer

Great musician......

oh fun interview! i need to get his book and signed!! Matt book tour!!!

Matt is just the nicest guy. The right band could have been even bigger than GnR with him.

this is a fantastic interview, you guys drew a really good convo out of him!

Matt is the groove

If I had the opportunity to talk to Matt, I would ask him where did he get the inspirarion for the drum fills of a few of my favorite songs. I would also let him know that his drumming is beautiful because he creatively comes up with nice grooves and executes them consistently throughout the song, not like other drummers like Ulrich that plays differently every single time. Matt’s drumming is my inspiration, and my drumming is pretty much thanks to him.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Great interview And to me steven and matt will always be the best drummers for guns n roses

Real RocknRolla...Earth Soul Blues RocknRoll...

Cool interview.

Great Conversation 👍 way better than "Zoom" Interviews! VERY genuine thx

Matt is a legend!! He has the same laugh as Mark from Death Angel 😂

great interview, Matt, you are such an interesting guy. with a wealth of experience.

Matt really played his role well. He never tried to replace Adler,he never rubbed it in his face in magazines or interviews. He brought his own flavor and emotion to guns and tbh that came off more Aerosmith because of it. He had that tight,low drum tone feel. Obviously adler was loose and poppy and thats why we love him but matt did great

👏👏👏👏

Matty !!!!

Matt Sorum is my favorite drummer of Guns and Roses. Much better than the one they have for the last many years. I wish Guns and Roses make peace with him and bring him back.

Matt's so funny .. I wasn't a good surfer ( I was 6) So my Mom, got my a Drum Set .... Ha Ha Ha Wait , Matt must've been impressed , they wore leather pants for him. Wooo Hooo

Matt I wish I have your talent! good intervew I realli like it, and Matt he is avery nice guy very humble and pro!

After Guns n Roses, Matt rejoined The Cult and recorded BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL, an entire album of new music before starting Velvet Revolver. It would've been cool to ask Matt... "When you joined Guns n Roses, were Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy disappointed because maybe they wanted you to join their band? And also, what's the story behind you rejoining The Cult after Guns and were they disappointed when you decided to do the Velvet Revolver project and go in that direction and leave The Cult once again?"

This is all in his book: 1. Ian and Billy were happy for Matt when he joined GNR. He was joining the biggest band in the world at the time. 2. I believe the Cult broke up for awhile after that Beyond Good and Evil record. Matt didn’t just quit again.

Prophecy was a great band !

Didnt knew Bill Price was their sound man . For those who don't know Bill Price was responsible for the Illusions albums sound. I became interested in mixing because of him. RIP

This dude is cool af... 63? Wtf??

Steven Adler SHOULD BE BEHIND AXL /SLASH DUFF AND OF COURSE IZZY !! JUST THOSE 5 GUYS WOULD BE AWESOME AGAIN!!!

Those VR albums were killer. In many ways a much better band with better songs that GnR.

This guy looks great to be 63. This is proof that no alcohol, being vegetarian playing music you love, when it serves you and a little bit of good genetics can do wonders

Wasnt "you could be mine" written prior to the afd album?? In that case he could not have been so involved in that song...

Mostly half of the songs on the Illusion abums are or Izzy’s or “co-written” by him. 6 songs are 100% Izzy’s, Dust N’ Bones, You Ain’t the First, Bad Obsession, Double Talkin’ Jive, 14 Years and Pretty Tied Up, he appears as if he had co-written two of this songs (Dust N’ Bones and 14 Years) only because other members contributed with some minor things to them. 3 songs are a collaboration between Izzy and Axl, been Right Next Door to Hell mostly Axl’s and Don’t Cry, and You Could Be Mine mostly Izzy’s. 1 song (Perfect Crime) was a collab between those two but with some Slash’ input and finally Izzy had some minor input on Bad Apples. This adds up to a total of 12 songs of 30 because Don’t Cry appears twice. For the other songs, 8 where 100% Axl’s, 7 a collab between Axl and Slash, 2 covers and 1 from Duff’s, so Matt isn’ wrong in this video.

@@alexanders4911 Of course, I don't know for sure, but a number of public sources list Axl's net worth at $200 million, while those same sources put Duff's net worth at $70 million. But again, I dunno for sure. One thing is certain, though, with only two albums in the past thirty years, Axl's immense wealth is primarily based on investments.

Cause he was always moaning about everything..same in Velvet Revolver..he made upset even Duff

Is it me or is matts age catching up to him or does he look like he is maybe sick? Kinda makes me sad i love matt!
