Happy Birthday, Matt Sorum!

Matt Sorum Drums

Matt Sorum, drummer for The Cult, Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver was born on this day, November 19th, in 1960. Older than me: yes! Speaking of Velvet Revolver, I’m reading this new book (just released November 10th) by Mary Forsberg Weiland – who I believe is in the process of becoming the ex-Mrs. Scott Weiland – called Fall To Pieces. Mary’s book is not just another Rock Wife Tells All piece of fluff.  In the pages of the appropriately named Fall To Pieces, Forsberg talks a lot about her own life and career as a model and her drug and alcohol addictions, as well as her staggering battle with Bipolar disorder in addition to her rocky romance and eventual marriage to STP / Velvet Revolver’s hopelessly drug-addicted mess of a lead singer. Talk about having a full plate! To call this book a “page turner” is not strong enough of a recommendation.  Fall To Pieces is available now wherever books are sold. Watch for a more in-depth review here on The ‘Gig in the coming weeks!
