Got to meet Matt at a party, we went to hang in the drum room and took turns behind the kit, we talked and played. He was so gracious and cool.
He also had his shit down, rudiments and all. I did not know who he was till someone told me later. Much respect.
Worked with The Cult from early to late, Matt was fabulous and such great fun!
Loved them all and will continue to!
I have Matt Sorum's drum stick from when he played with the Cult at Manchester Apollo on the Sonic Temple tour. At the end of the gig a drumstick came flying into the crowd and I just stuck my hand up and caught it. First time I ever done owt like that. Still have it.
I was at the same gig! Man it was loud that night, massive gig!
I love that! I have a guitar pic Billy Duffy tossed to me.
I would have thrown it back to the average drummer. Saying play as as good as portnoy😅😅😅😂😂😂
@@bigmoney4685 Lol. Change Portnoy to Lombardo and we got a thing!
Got the gig but quit smiling so much... Epic 😂. Saw him with Cult, Guns and Idle. He´s one of my personal top3 drummers of MY Generation, Matt, Gregg and Brian, ( alongside the gods like Bonzo, Paicey, Ringo and Cozy ). Love it!👍
Saw them open for Metallica 89 I think sonic temple tour. Blew me away. They nailed it that night.
That was an amazing tour. That album is also great. Sounds so huge. Mickey Curry did a great job on it. Love his playing.
Incredible album Sonic Temple, I’ve no idea why it’s not more talked about. It’s almost like it got forgotten about as it was the end of the decade, it’s a total monster.
I love The Cult. I saw the Electric tour and the Sonic Temple tour back in the day. I had so many posters and their records. Great band. Their Love album was something that carried me through a tumultuous time.
In the mid 80s I was at the university of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia. I was full on into heavy metal… I distinctly remember the time and place when I heard Love for the first time. My mate, an English fella, put the LP on his stereo one after noon in his flat just off campus. I remember hearing the opening of Nirvana… it wasn’t what I was into, but it grabbed me. It’s one of the few albums that I have in vinyl, cd and digital… l Iiked electric, and really dug sonic temple, but sort of lost interest after that. But Love, that’s my favorite.
@@shanewilson199 I get what you are saying. I was still not into metal and mourning the end of The Police so I came from a completely different direction you could say.
When I heard it, I felt the same way...it wasn't what I was into but I wanted to listen to it again and again. I think that I listened to it repeatedly without listening to anything else perhaps 30 to 40 times. Hollow Man, Nirvana, the imagery and spooky sort of sound that She Sells Sanctuary had...Rain, the live sort of feel of Phoenix...it just had it all.
It was all there. I liked Electric a lot as well as Sonic Temple but Love is locked into my fabric.
Saw them in Memphis '90. I believe it was the last night of the Sonic Temple tour. They headlined, (Jason)Bonham opened. Ian's voice was nearly gone from the touring. But I was really impressed with the hired-gun on the drums. He nailed all of his parts and he was swinging his big boom mic stand back and forth doing backing vocals, just working his ass off. I later heard that GnR had picked him up after the Cult gig played out. Of course that drummer was Matt Sorum.
Matt's a fun guy. Love hearing his stories. Especially the GnR stories.
we can´t trust
Great story! Saw The Cult this summer...EPIC performance!!! Haven't seen them in years! 💞🎶🎸🥁🎶💞
Matt Sorum was the big great the cult s drummer after brezicky. I had the fortune to heard him play with the cult and with the g’n’roses. He s great! Sorry for my english.
The Cult were it.
Still better than ever. Vendetta x is insane.
Just seen Matt at The Scorpions concert very humble handsome and has caresma for sure .
Matt is a cool guy. Cult dude awesome band. I dig Love Nd Electric albums the most
Disneyland seems to have been a huge start for a lot of great talent. That says a lot about their program!
Love it!
That was awesome. The Cult are my favourite band bar none
Cool story. Thanks for sharing.
Cool story. Love The Cult 🤘
The Cult are releasing a brand new album on Oct. 7th. I’m really looking forward to it!
“Under The Midnight Sun”
CFFC 🙌🏼
That's great!
Going to see them in two days in Saskatoon.
great drummer!
I saw The Cult open for Metallica on the Justice/Sonic Temples tour. And The Cult just killed it! So good! And Matt was great that day. Saw him with Guns too on the opening night of the Illusions tour at Alpine. Again, Matt was great! And he just seems like a stand up cool guy.
The Cult is the only reason I went to see the Justice tour!
Saw that tour: Dec 31NYE - Long Beach. April - Irvine Meadows. Senior year. Killer shows.
Donna looks like Tori Amos ! Matt’s a great storyteller!
Matt Sorum is one of the coolest and non-pretentious people in music. Cool AF!!!
Haha! That’s funny!
I remember my boyfriend at the time who was opening for them, taking me back stage and met Ian and his girlfriend Edie and they were so super nice.
I know another drummer for the Cult, Scott Garrett. Great drummer, fantastic person. We were the same height and had very similar long naturally corkscrew curly hair and a couple times people would think I was Scott back in the day. I traveled with Scott on the tour bus with the band he was in called Neverland. A very good friend of mine Gary Lee was the bass player for Neverland. Fun times back in the day.
After Nigel Preston, Scott Garrett is my favorite drummer The Cult has ever had. He gave the band the tribal feel that works so well for them (and that they lost when Nigel left). I got to meet Scott after a Cult show sometime around 1994. He was very cool…and I always hoped they would bring that lineup back.
You got the gig.. but quit smiling so much! Lol! Awesome!!
At the time, smiling 😃 belonged to Van Halen 😄 The late Eddie smiled a lot especially when singing. Billy Duffy met him and enjoyed his company. 😃
RIP Eddie van Halen.
Matt seems like such a cool dude.His interview in the Slash documentary is really funny.

"Quit smiling so much". It seems to me that while he was in The Cult, Jamie Stewart was smiling a lot. Especially while performing. Quite energetic playing the bass. Of course he got fed up with Ian and Billy bickering and got out.
Jamie was totally the good time smiley guy, particularly during _Electric._
I got a call from an English guy that ran a jam night at a club in Hollywood called the CENTRAL
on a Tuesday afternoon and he asked to come down and have a jam with these two English
guys who where looking for a drummer to go on major tour. They where Jamie Stewart and
Ian Ashbury from a band called the CULT whom I had never heard of. I got behind the drums
and the bass player plugged in his bass and there was a black guitar player that Matt Sorum
played with long time ago by the name of Gregg Wright. Ian Ashbury took the mike and looked
at the guitar player and asked if he knew a blues song called "La casa roca" meaning Red House
by Jimi Hendrix!! We started to play and Ashbury proceeded to bastardize the song and it was
just awful! The guitar player looked at me like he was about to push his ass right off the stage!
The bass player Jamie was cool but Ashbury was a total asshole! After the jam they asked me
if I would be interested to come to studio where they rehearsing in Burbank for a full audition.
I politely declined. I did not like Ian Ashbury's arrogance as well as his singing. Next thing I
knew Matt Sorum was playing the "La Casa Roca"!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💩💩💩💩
Drink every time the host says “yeah.”
You’ll be hammered in 5 minutes.
Axl Rose frisked me at the airport and called me punk.
i've heard a couple of matt sorum interviews over the years and I like the guy. He doesn't talk with false modesty, which is super annoying and he doesn't oversell himself either. Plus he seems to remember everyone's names
I was in a punk band from 1978 to 1981. If we had hair like that, we wouldn't be able to fight ourselves out of trouble. and trouble was there a plenty.
Stop smiling so much and you've got the gig!
I really liked the Cult but was kind of bummed when they made the AC/DC thing with Rick Rubin. They should have stuck with their look and sound and saw it through. Easy for me to say. They clearly made the big money by doing the former. As for Sorum I saw them open those Seattle 89 And Justice For All shows. He was so solid. The way I remember it, his time was so good. One of the few drummers from that era that kept the tempos back a bit so there was a lot of space in an arena setting. And yes he played a black Yamaha. 😅
Yeah. Love is a great record. They were doing their post punk UK thing. They always liked ac/ dc , Zep type of stuff. When they switched up on Electric fights broke out in the audience. My friend was telling me. He went to see them at the felt forum. He was dressed new wavish, Love kind of style. Electric was a great record. Sonic is kind of over rated. 3 great songs then filler
@@gerardspringer8576 yeah my taste is reversed I never listen to Electric but still do like Sonic Temple.
@@Twotontessie yeah. Some ppl like sonic a lot. Edie baby, 🔥 woman, sweet soul sister r great trax.The rest head to head r not as good to me compared to Electric. They do a lot of Electric& love. 3 tracks from Sonic, live. They r still a good live band🤘👍
Go buy Electric Love. You can here Electric recorded with the producer who recorded Love.
I was the same way when they released Electric. I love Love to this day. I was hoping they would just expand on that sound but they went a totally different direction with Rubin. I eventually warmed up to Electric though. They recorded a few of the Electric tracks before Rubin and they kind sound like Love but then they scrapped it. They eventually released some of them on the Manor Sessions.
Matt, did you know Steve Reynolds from Last Exit back in the day?
Yup, we don't smile in the Rock's music business they say. :-)
Best hard rock band ever
I saw The Cult at the 1995 Big Day Out in Melbourne.
They totally blew every other band off the stage, but most of the crowd were there to see new wave hacks such as Hole.
I felt like I was one of the few to appreciate how awesome the Cult were.
P.S. On the positive side, the fact that hardly anyone else seemed interested made it easier to get near the front and get a good view of the show.
Lol
The girl at 1:02 is Tori Amos.
The cult are it….
Why did he not play on any album?
He did on Beyond Good and Evil released in 2001
He should be drumming for gunners now
Axl doesn't like Matt😂
@@gerardspringer8576 Doesn't like Steven as well, but they are both better than that reggae drummer gunners have now .
@@anthonylynch4737 😂. Ah well...its the Axl show! They have to acquiesce to Axl. Duff & Slash r doing 2 or 3 Chinese Democracy songs. I met Axl twice. The 2nd time he was on heroin. The money is good so they doing it
@@gerardspringer8576 Wow never knew Axl did Mr Brownstone though he just liked his Cole .
@@anthonylynch4737 😂😂😂. Yeah Slash . axl. Of course Adler got thrown out because of it. Axl had called out Slash for doing " brownstone" They had opened. For the Stones. When i met him after, I was like he is on heroin rn. Being a hypocrite. Luckily none of them died. Booze the other stuff. 3 of them were hitting on these 2 girls I went to college with. Slash, Duff, Izzy, I am not sure. They used to hang out in the Village a lot. It was b4 they were huge. 88, 89. Then they were Huge rockstars
Ok I thought it was like cult like black magic or something, turned out it's the band.
Let's hear about that poodle mullet. That looks like a story on it's own.
Any rock or metal band that smiles during shows are not a serious music machine.
Are you kidding? Eddie Van Halen smiled all the time! Are you saying they weren’t a serious great band?!
The Cult was so much better before Electric.
He was pretty rude to that guy audition for velvet revolver
I would LOVE to have all the $$$$ Sorum spent on coke.
He should have stayed with them instead of bailing for GNR
Then GNR poached him.
As a rock drummer myself, I totally agree with Ian's advice to Matt not to smile so much. For me rock and roll and The Cult are serious business. There's no room for a cheesy, smiling, dorky looking drummer behind a rock kit. Moments of a sly, sexy smile are cool but definitely not a sh*# eating grin kind of smile. Leave that for Sesame Street.
Tell that to Al Van Halen
Thats dumb. Do you but dont give stupid advice
Dude if you don't like cheesy then rock and roll is not the place for you
Don't tell that to Frank Beard
Is this a bot narrating this or a person?
ok all the AI enhanced photos are creepy...it always screws up the eyes!!!!
Just stop smiling so fvcking much. ... Why is that staying with me as great, life advice?
Horrible interview, but I will say that this video is perfect for a drinking game for every time the interviewer says "yeah". I'll have to try it and see if anyone can remain vertical by the time it ends. 🙄
Love the Cults albums. But they are boring live!
"Don't smile so much"...Yep..they pretty much sums up the 90's grunge/industrial metal scene. Mope around on stage ..let the audience experience your depression with you. LAME!
