July 21, 2011, 13 years ago
In a new interview with Steve Baltin of RollingStone.com, drummer MATT SORUM (THE CULT, GUNS N' ROSES, VELVET REVOLVER) comes clean about the first video from his new band, DIAMOND BABY, for the song 'The Last Rockstar', which can be seen below.
"I called Verne Troyer and Lemmy (Kilmister of MOTÖRHEAD) and Juliette Lewis and Jane Lynch is my next-door neighbor, so I asked her to do it," Sorum says. "She’s so busy, she’s such a huge actress now, but then she said she’d love to do it because she’s never done a rock video or a music video. And when I told her she was going to play my butler, she was cool."Sorum has changed his name in Diamond Baby to Baron Von Storm. "My former name and my former musical background I probably couldn’t do as much. I wanted to kind of dabble in a different music area," he says. "So the rock side of me is the other name – I really felt like more of a Ziggy Stardust kind of character with this."
