Scott is right on here. Matt is totally immature. He's about the only member of the band, or any artist as  old as he is, that talks about banging groupies like it's still the cool thing to do.

and who cares if matt's banging groupies at his age? he can do what the fuck he wants with his money.

So, you're saying Matt has to pay for his groupies? I, actually, believe that.

Matt is a cock, but Scott is an even bigger cock. He's as uncool as a frontman can be. The guy is just annoying. I never liked him in VR, but I supported Slash & Co's decision. His betrayal is one of the worsts in the history of rock. The other guys did everything to save him and what he's got in return? I have no problems with him rejoining STP, but his disrespect towards Slash & Co is unbelievable. Rid of this junkie and let him die alone.

true, he's not the best he could be, but i do sympathize with him a little....since VR started he's faced nothing but GNR related inquiries, comparisons and questions....

he was the frontman, and had no choice or say of who to even hire to be in his band....he was a hired gun in a way, and was treated like one...

and Matt is just a drummer for fuck sake....those STP reunion comments were nothing but disrespectful towards his lead singer...least he could do is stick up for him and pretend like VR was not a manufactured band....instead he made it blatantly obvious that they don't have any rock n roll chemistry...

Cock or not, Scott did not deserve that treatment....anyone else would have buckled under the media pressure and spotlight...

He did the right thing by doing this and pulling out of VR...for his sake, and the band's sake...

Now lets hope that he has no rights to the VR brand name and that Slash and Duff can regroup and work out a positive new direction for the band....hopefully with someone of equal stature to lead the band...

and that they fire Sorum....

what a mess....I would love to know what Axl Rose thinks of this whole thing....
