In what context?

Because they didn’t immediately understand his video system for picking groupies out of the crowd in 91. Something along the lines of “I don’t want to say they were stupid, but they were stupid”

Sorum's is never going to be as bitchy as Keith Richards', which I have just read, in which Jagger is described as having a ''little todger''. 

Well, Matt calls Slash and Duff “stupid” in his book.

Does he air out a lot of dirty laundry about Axl?

Not really, nothing new at least

Also that the book is out right now is a mistake right? It was supposed to come out in summer?!

Original release date was April 7th. Maybe the physical release has been pushed back due to corona.

He probably doesn't care now, I think he realizes that the ship has sailed.

I think he also realized that was the end of those guys being involved with his all star bands. He devotes a chapter or two to those in the book.

Lol why? If what you're saying is true what reason would he have to "protect" people who left him hanging?

I mean that the GNR camp would not have wanted this aired publicly and I don’t personally think he should have. I feel Matt has wrecked his chances of working with Slash and Duff again, maybe he doesn’t care.

That's what I'm interested in hearing about. I might have to order the ebook then.

His attitude towards Slash and Duff is incredible. He really isn’t positive about them at all throughout the book. He acts as if they’ve left him hanging. I never came to an understanding of what he thinks he’s owed by these guys.

There is some behind the scenes dirty laundry on the NITL lineup. He’s airing some shit that probably should have remained confidential.

Hm, I never liked him in the first place. I don't know how far in you are, but is it mostly gnr? Or does it take long before he gets there? Not really interested in his life before GNR of after VR...

I skipped ahead to the GNR and VR chapters and I’m circling back now to read the beginning. There is a lot of GNR, not so much VR. However, his discussion of life after VR is the most interesting. Lots of interesting material about NITL and his sour grapes of not being asked to be the drummer. It has wrecked his relationship with Slash and Duff.

It's already out online?

Yes, I downloaded it to Kindle.

I bought the book in digital format. It’s an interesting read. Don’t go into it thinking you’ll wind up liking the main character.
