September 13, 2013

Drummer Matt Sorum (GUNS N' ROSES, VELVET REVOLVER, THE CULT) took part in an interview this morning (Friday, September 13) on "The Heidi & Frank Show" on KLOS 95.5 FM radio station in Los Angeles, California. You can now watch video footage of his appearance below.

Sorum told RollingStone.com earlier this week that his new solo album will be released in January. "It's much more introspective than my usual heavy rock stuff," he said. It's more of a singer-songwriter thing. I play acoustic guitar, and it's a little mellower kind of album."

According to The Ada News, Sorum will marry his longtime girlfriend Adriane "Ace" Harper on October 12 in Palm Springs, California.

Sorum was born Matthew William Sorum (Norwegian spelling Srum),on November 19, 1960, in the present-day city of Mission Viejo, California. His parents were of English and Norwegian descent.

Sorum achieved fame with GUNS N' ROSES, where he replaced Steven Adler in the band, who was fired because of drug addiction. While with the Los Angeles-based hard rock group (1990-1997),Sorum recorded the highly successful albums "Use Your Illusion I" and "Use Your Illusion II" (both 1991) and "The Spaghetti Incident" (1994). He also supported the group on the "Use Your Illusion" tour and can be heard on GUNS N' ROSES' "Live Era: '87-'93" (1999) and "Greatest Hits" (2004). Starting out as a season musician in Los Angeles in the 1980s, Sorum had his first taste with success as part of THE CULT in 1989. A decade later, after being fired from GUNS N' ROSES, he was reunited with the group and played the drums for their 2001 album "Beyond Good And Evil". Currently, Sorum is the drummer of VELVET REVOLVER, a group he founded in 2002 with former GUNS N' ROSES band members Slash and Duff McKagan. The band has released two albums, "Contraband" (2004) and "Libertad" (2007). On his own, Sorum released a solo debut in 2003 called "Hollywood Zen".

Matt and Ace collaborated on DIAMOND BABY, an electro-rock group whose debut single, "The Last Rockstar", arrived in August 2011. The accompanying music video featured guest appearances by "Glee" star Jane Lynch, iconic actress Juliette Lewis, Verne Troyer, and MOTÖRHEAD's Lemmy Kilmister.
