#311 Re: Guns N' Roses » Matt Sorum's book leaks online. » 335 weeks ago
What beef would he have with Duff and Slash?
Read my summary on the first page. It's a series of Slash screwing Matt out off money... for example Axl tells Matt he should get 10% Matt agrees, Slash says no way afterwards.
Matt wants to start a band, basically Snakepitt is his and Slash's idea. He finds out that Slash during a rehersal has changed the name to Slash's snakepitt. They fight a few times including during vr.
Slash wants the Buckcherry singer. After they've jammed for a few months tells Matt he's quiting the band because he doesn't like the singer... matt says they'll get rid off the singer instead, later on he wants rid of the other guitarist from Buckcherry too... leaving Matt in a bad position.
Also during the gn'r days... Axl, Slash and Duff go out for an extra bow which annoys Matt. Complains to Slash who tell them, we get to do thst because we started the band.
Slash also didn't want him at the Rock N Roll hall of fame.
Slash ignored him when he was trying to find out about the reunion ect... ect.
Every few chapters once Slash is introduced... there's something.
As for Duff, there's a few things... but the books final chapter is Matt trying to get Duff to insist on him joining. Duff says I already signed. Suggests Duff said the drummer can't play (Frank). When Matt brings up Izzy, Duff says fuck izzy. There's more.
Sorry, typing on phone.
Other claims include the suggestion that Stephanie felt up Matt in a car while Axl was looking the other way. Thinking Stephanie would fuck everyone in the band if she could. Also Matt had an opportunity to sleep with Elizabeth Taylor (bit of a stretch) at the Freddie tribute show.
Also lots of stories about Lars wanting to know what's going on with Guns. Lars appears more than Izzy, Gilby combined
Worth checking out.

Sure Duff and Matt are talking (this is around 2014, when the reuinon rumors first started), and Matt is asking about generally what's going on. And they are still good friends at this point. Matt just sort of wants clarification--and he wants to be the drummer. I have a tendency to believe Sorum--even if it comes off as self serving a bit.
Oh, this hasn't been mentioned here but the book has been cancelled and will not be published. Oh another part that was kind of funny:
Axl firing Rick Rubin.Here's the passage
I continued to call Duff, but he was constantly evading me, and I realized he wasn’t telling the truth. “Duff, what’s going on?” I said.
“Well, Axl wants to use his drummer,” he said. “But the guy can’t even play the drums. I’ve gotta talk to Axl and say I really can’t play with this guy.”
Wait! Back up!” I said. “What do you mean you don’t think he’s very good? And you can’t fucking tell Axl? That would be the first thing I’d say if I was the bass player and you were the drummer. Why do you think I
asked you to play in the Vampires? Because you’re my favorite bass player.”
“Come on, man.”
“No. . . . Go to Axl and tell him you want me on drums. Period. Now’s the time.”
“Oh, man,” Duff said, his voice kind of shrinking. “I already signed the deal.”Thank you for the detail.
Between the bashing of Slash and Duff it kind of lends to my own theory that Matt thinks there is still a window for him to become a part of the NITL thing. Why would he leave Axl so squeaky clean otherwise?
I don't think so, this has defintely more of a "it ain't happening, so let me burn all the bridges left to cash in" book.
He attacks Axl a few times, but ultimately Axl doesn't feature as much as you might expect. It's really more Slash and Duff stories.
He's pretty hostile to Scott too, doesn't mention anything about Scott passing.

The book fyi has alot in it, not all new.
He buries everyone by the end (except Izzy and Gilby who are rarely mentioned).
- Slash constantly screws him over throughout (every few chapters) be it money, getting into arguments or not wanting him to play at the Hall of Fame
- Makes claims like Duff said, Fuck Izzy and Frank can't play
- It's bitter by the end tbh and cannot imagine the band wanting to have him guest.
- Matt being furious when Axl, Duff and Slash went for an extra bow at a gig/Slash telling them they get to do it, because they started the band.
I'm sure others will copy/paste tibbits parts.
It's pretty tame on Axl compared to Slash and Duff.

Uk now has more daily deaths than the entirely of the eu27 member states put together.
#315 Re: The Sunset Strip » Most Recent Movie You've Seen » 336 weeks ago
The Invisible Man - This had so much more potential.
I liked the first half, felt pretty uncomfortable at times... then it desends into a genric sci fi film.
One of the very few occasions where it would have been better to go, it's all the mind route.
The ending is just lazy.

Watching a ch4 documentary atm that said Boris only done anything approaching a lockdown, because Macron phoned him and said if he didn't France would lock the borders and shut down travel from the uk if he didn't.

I think some Izzy tapes
Yeah, but where? 
This the most interesting thing in a while. It's CD whispers material.

Where's this from?

Reuters say the total is over 40k with ft reporting total extra deaths up 50k plus.
TV stations running with the gov's 32k plus.
Yet the Torries are polling better than ever before, thanks to tv coverage. People under some bizzare impression that Boris the Lion has done a good job.
