Axls_Disillusion Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 see sig! i dont think it was anything personal. Its just that Brain is leagues ahead of Matt in almost every way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slash n' Burn Posted May 14, 2006 Author Share Posted May 14, 2006 Leagues ahead? why would you say that. maybe he suits this new line up better but matt sorum has more than justified himself as a talanted musican. Hes played drums for many big bands and he has even set up his own studios and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baz has performed with both drummers at one point, I think he is entitled to his opinion on this. And Matt is NOT coming back. who fucking cares.Its not like everything Matt has ever said about Axl has been exactly pleasant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody mentioned Matt coming back at all.I know that, the reason I said that is because being that he isn't going to be back in the band, it doesn't matter. If he was taking the stage with Axl again, it'd be one thing for baz to make those comments, but he's not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moreblack Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 doesn't matter how good of a drummer Brain is. It doesn't make Matt any less of a great drummer either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetaSouL Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Agreed, and he doesn't look like a headbanging hedgehog while playing either.I laughed myself to tears reading this one. Remember the days of his drum solos? My god, I tried so hard not to look at his hair and ruin the experience. ~M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One night, my ex-girlfriend and I were watching the Oklahoma 92 DVD and we were just relaxing n' talkin', n' the drum solo comes on and she was like, you know, Matt's a good drummer and all but he looks like a headbanging hedgehog. It was one of the funniest things I've ever heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Flower Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Maybe Bach is still a little sour about the VR guys not wanting a 80's hair-metal screamer that says Duuuuuude a lot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid_Moron Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I agree that Brain is the best drummer GNR has seen..... And ill leave it at that.^ Whoever mentioned Izzy, Axl was talking about how Izzy was always wasted and would fuck up the songs... So the roadies would always turn his amps down.

Its just that Brain is leagues ahead of Matt in almost every way.Agreed, and he doesn't look like a headbanging hedgehog while playing either.Brian Mantia is just another journeyman musician. nothing special. Matt Sorum has had huge albums with The Cult, GnR and Velvet Revolver. Brian is a nobody. If he leaves GnR tomorrow he is forgotten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt's had a good ride, and he is a decent drummer, but his latest work is absolutely generic and far from memorable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
