Drummer Matt Sorum (VELVET REVOLVER / ex-GUNS N' ROSES) is featured in a new interview with Australia's The Vine. An excerpt is available below:

Q: Any further news on a new Velvet Revolver record, or nailing down a new frontman for the band?

Sorum: "Yeah, they’re at home trying out a guy right now. Their sitting in a room looking at a singer named Jimmy Gnecco. So we’ll see how that goes, and then we’ve got a couple of other ideas. It looks like Slash is going to make another album, but I’m not sure about his touring and stuff yet. So we’ll see how that goes. But we’re all open to it and interested in trying to do something together."

Q: Guns N’ Roses; how often do people ask you if the band’s getting back together?

Sorum: "I just don’t have an answer. That’s the thing: I’m not the guy. I wish I knew, but I’d be the last guy to hear about it, probably. You’d know about it before I would. My grandmother would call me to let me know [laughs]. I’d be a rich man if for every time I got asked that question I got handed a dollar bill. I’d be a wealthy, wealthy man."

Sorum recently appeared on Australia's The Morning Show. In the clip below, after a 60 second advertsiement, he states, "Congratulations to myself, I guess. It's just amazing that we're still here, and still alive. We had such wild times and we're still here to tell the tale. And all the boys are healthy."
