May 23, 2008, 16 years ago
Artisan News Service has issued the following report:
Matt Sorum has seen his share of enigmatic frontmen from Ian Astbury of THE CULT, Axl Rose of GUNS N' ROSES, and lastly SCOTT WEILAND.
Weiland and VELVET REVOLVER recently parted ways, with Scott joining his ex-bandmates for a STONE TEMPLE PILOTS reunion tour.
Sorum and Weiland have had their blog battle, and we asked him if dealing with Scott Weiland made him have a newfound appreciation for one Axl Rose.
"Yeah (laughs). No, no... Both... I actually have a newfound liking and love for Axl Rose (laughs). You can print that (laughs). I've said a couple of bad things about Axl, and I think they've come back to bite me in the ass. The one thing I know about Axl Rose, as much as a d--k as he was at times, the stadium was usually sold out (laughs)! A little difference between those two guys. I'm talking 50,000 not 5,000 (laughs). I could deal with that. A jet, I'm not talking just a Jet, a 727, my own limo and a guy to carry my s--t (laughs)."He also shared his thoughts on Weiland leaving and re-joining STP.
