El Guapo Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 (edited) I too guess it's not gonna be that interesting , just a variation of storys already known. Matt surely doesn't want to burn bridges with Slash, Duff, etc. Maybe we can finally learn more about Duff's punk roots, now that would be exciting!!

Bansidhe Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Waiting on it being delayed due to Sorum getting a Cease & Desist because of the name. I'll maybe hold off for 6 months and get it for like £3 out of The Works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not sure whome. Matt? Slash? Duff? There was least interaction between Gilby and Duff post GNR years. On the other hand, always thought Gilby was least druged during GNR years. He seemed like light drugs type of guy.

Rovim Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Looking forward to reading it. Matt's a helluva douche. I don't trust him to tell the truth, at least not when it makes him look bad or not cool but it's probably going to be a fun read like Slash's book was. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Guapo Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Gilby was drinking heavily during his time I believe, that alone can fuck with your memory alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) The VR stuff is probably more interesting than GNR. I don't think he was cut in to anything interesting GNR related. Maybe an expanded anecdote about the NR Pat Boone / Debby Boone fill.... if you're lucky a couple pages on the mid 90's recording era. Who knows, though! He gives off that douche vibe, but at the same time he's been humbled enough times and never broke big enough to go full guns deluded asshole... he might be more thoughtful than people think.

I dont think sorum should be light on his opinion because of any interference fromTB. Sorum was not asked to be part of the nitl lineup so in my view he doesnt owe it to TB totalk nice about axl.

Locke Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Huge fan of GNR (obviously) and I love The Cult. I believe they are one and two on the list of the bands I've seen most over the years. I'm all in for Sorum's book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he was never asked. When the coachella dates went public a fan asked him via insta if he had been offered or was part of the lineup.

That's got The Works in a couple of months all over it!" 2 hours ago, Muddy said: The book comes out in April , I’m betting the new GNR album will be coming out at the same time . Sorum is smart and releasing this book at the same time as GNR release a new album would be a good business move as there will be a ton of promotion and press going on surrounding GNR at the time . You heard it hear first lol If the publishers of this book are aware of a GNR release schedule, I'd be amazed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
