tbaugerud 105 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Only if he brings his fluffy curls back first. Awesome drummer tho. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom-Ass 7,702 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 This band fucking needs something and he would certainly bring a spark atleast... I would love ot see him back in the mix.. I think he is kind of a douche but who cares.. He has proven chemistry with Slash and Duff and I am certain he would help elevate their performace to some extent. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tourettes2400 1,600 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 I like him as a drummer, but after reading that book, and seeing what a douchebag he is, I would not think Axl would ever even consider having him back. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sydney Fan 1,963 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 While im no fan of franks drumming and what he brings to the band, hes not the only weakest link in the band. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Gordon Comstock 5,555 Posted December 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 13, 2020 Matt is the 2nd worst "GNR drummer" after Frank IMO. Obviously he's not a bad drummer but he's really not the best fit, either. If they were ever gonna bring back an old drummer for more than a one-off or small run of shows, Brain would be the best choice (assuming Steven couldn't do a full-length tour). Steven > Brain > Matt > Frank If Josh counts, he's between Brain and Matt. 3 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dean 2,287 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I’d prefer Brain. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ssiscool 102 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I don't understand all the hate for Matt. I really like his style. Sure, he's not Steven but he's still damn good and as someone said, got the chesty with slash and duff 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AxlSlashthebest 251 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 to re-listen the 2 Velvet Revolver he his very creative in a lot of song. I was wondering who was with Duff and Slashplaying drums when they were making the "demo" 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rovim 5,076 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Matt's a good drummer. I like his style. Sometimes it worked really well in Guns and I also like his VR work. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I agree. Reading his book gave me an unpleasant insight into Matt. I couldn’t imagine any of those guys wanting him back in a band. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GoForJMark 701 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Matt's a great drummer. UYI records won't be the same without him. But his ego is the biggest problem. Had he join the NITL tours, the band would implode in a year or 2. I'd prefer Steven playing AFD tracks and Brain or Josh Freese playing the rest. But I think the band is contented with Frank.

But I think the band is contented with Frank. Maybe the band wouldn’t implode, but it would definitely stir some shit in the background. And if this band needs anything, it’s stirring some shit in the background. To dismantle the staleness. I can imagine Matt having a problem with TB or at least Merchnando sooner or later. That could sort of activate Slash and Duff in terms of doing something regarding the PR, releases etc. Just being more involved. Matt actually could be the fresh breeze they desperately need. By the way, as for music, the comparisons are nonsensical, of course. Steven was the best for the AfD/Lies era, Matt for the UYI era, and Brain for the CD era. I can’t really assess Josh or anyone else on the basis of just some studio demo work. Would I like Matt Sorum back? You can bet your ass I would. I always have. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I love his contributions, but he is obnoxious. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But I think even Slash and Duff can't stand him. Maybe Duff can. But I haven't seen Slash invite Matt in his solo records after the first Snakepit. Matt has a bossy attitude and that would be a major problem with Axl. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sisyphus 269 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Matt would be a great addition. But he wouldn't last. Becasue he would tell Axl he sounds like shit. And you don't tell Axl the truth if you know what's good for you. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
