Did nobody bar Matt read the book and not think “this might not paint you in the bear light Matt” I read it when it was released before it was pulled and how tone deaf is Matt sorum ? Agree absolutely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always assumed that was the reason for it getting pulled in the first place? I got the impression much of it was overblown and exaggerated, but as you say, it just makes him look a bit of a dickhead. Be interesting to see if anything has been added/removed from the final version. I'd wager the bits slagging off Duff, Slash and Frank have gone, or been altered. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it will to duminish the most "interesting" stuff. I guess he maybe removed some about the groupies, at least the most heavy stuff, cause on the today PC climate it would to carry problems to he.

As much as his book makes him look a bit of a cunt, at least he wasn’t trying to rewrite history and pretend none of that shit ever happened. Like Duff does. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asdiz Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I missed a lot of the convo about the autobiography. Can someone give me a high level overview of the things that were said about duff, frank, slash, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that Matt different to Duff don't has offsprings, and it make he can talk more freely, just my guess about his book. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Duff does. What did duff rewrite or pretend never happened in his book ? I’m surprised that especially during the UYI tour years that duff had any coherent things to add to the time period because I doubt he remembers much of it.

IrishgunnerII Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I wasn’t intending to be as negative towards Matt sorum in my post last night but well when axl rose agrees to have Steven Adler back on stage in this last decade and him and slash and duff are back together and you are nowhere near it, then maybe it’s you that’s the problem chief. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Boy Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I never understood the hatred for Matt from some fans, I find him very likeable. His spoken recollections of the GnR era are always interesting and seem pretty candid. Wry sense of humour. At the time he was one of the few people who didn't take Axl's bullshit, probably to his loss in the long term. Drumming wise I prefer Adler really but Matt's Tom sound is awesome, the intro to New Rose and YCBM being good examples. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
History2010 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Anyone who wants to read it should find the leaked copy online and give it a read. I am willing to bet that the new version will have the only interesting tidbits removed and replaced with more groupie stories. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm sure he can be an ass munch occasionally but so can I. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamillos Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) We need to understand these guys are fathers now, and they're not gonna spill the beans on all the sex & drugs & rock n' roll orgies in the background - mainly all the groupies, financial and other shit, and all kinds of shenanigans they've done in the past in hotel rooms and elsewhere...

I'll remain ignorant on this! Yeah. The concept of the biography itself kinda always make me think "Why should I waste my life time to read about someone else's life? Who fucking cares?". I have bought Slash's biography and downloaded Duff's and Matt's biography ages ago, but other than a few pages, didn't read any of them yet. I did read some of Duff's though, while waiting for GNR to hit the stage (that kinda made sense). That said, I downloaded Steven Tyler's, Joey Kramer's and Joe Perry's biographies as audiobooks and listened to them while doing other stuff. That worked.
