songfacts Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Hi Guns N' Roses fans!How are you?We wanted to let the members of this forum know about an interview we recently published with Matt Sorum at Songfacts.com!"When I came in, Axl wanted to take it up a notch. He really wanted to be like bands like The Stones or Queen or Led Zeppelin." - Matt Sorum was a session drummer and bandmate of Tori Amos before joining Guns N' Roses on drums. He helped bring an orchestral sound to the band, best heard on "November Rain," which got some musical inspiration from an Elton John song: http://www.songfacts.com/blog/interviews/matt_sorum/Your thoughts are very much appreciated!All the best!Songfacts.com 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
