I doubt that too, because he would put Frank F. in his pocket. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amaya Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I think his book would be interesting, and honest of himself. Duff, Slash, and even Steven did not write of thrmselves putting blame on others for their mistakes. They have all come full circle. Only Izzy and Axl don't have autobiographys. I am sure those Indiana boys never will either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's possible that maybe years from now Axl will write a proper autobiography that will see the light of day. If he does, I'm sure it will be a best seller. A great way for him to make even more money without actually releasing new music. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

username Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I've always thought Matt came off like... ehrm.... A bit of a dick? Nevertheless this might be an interesting read depending on what he will and won't talk about. I couldn't care less about The Cult or Matt's Childhood. Nor his solo album or his activism. But the GnR and VR bits could be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His drum sound was much more energetic and less dark compared to his time in GNR, especially when comparing songs like Brownstone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I've never rwad any of the GN'R books. I doubt I'll start with Sorums but it'll be cool to read the highlights when users post them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly just repeating the stuff he said in interviews over the years. The only book I’d read would be Axls. Mainly because he never talks so we know so little about him and his opinions on things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RONIN Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I think this book will be nerfed sadly. There was an outside chance that Sorum would deliver a no-holds barred account of the GnR days - but with him engaging on social media with Duff/Slash and wishing Axl a happy birthday, it probably won't happen now. I imagine the GnR camp reached out to him and smoothed things over. I expect something along the lines of Slash's book. None of these guys will risk a tell-all about the band. Too much money and personal relationships at stake to do that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner55 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Matt always rubbed me the wrong way whenever he wasn't behind a drum kit, but I'll definitely check this out. Not expecting anything groundbreaking but I'm down to hear another perspective on stories we already know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You dashed my hopes, but you’re probably correct in that a tell all is just too much and TB more than likely at least tried to influence the content. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majestic Beast Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Autobiography books are most peice of lies and shit,just to sell out for some more money.Dickinson's autobiography was pretty generic and expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popcorn crew Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 It will be cool if every page have little drum kit set and than you press the button and song started to play from every era. So you can drumm along with fingers. And than some pages would have like paint my band member challenge. Than maybe, otherwise not a chance.
