Biography

1960–1989: Early career

Sorum was born Matthew William Sorum on November 19, 1960, in an unincorporated area of Orange County, California, that later became the city of Mission Viejo. He started to play drums after watching Ringo Starr with The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964.[ citation needed ] Later he was mainly influenced by Ian Paice, Keith Moon, Neil Peart, Ginger Baker, John Bonham, Roger Taylor, Buddy Rich and Bill Ward.

At Mission Viejo High School Sorum was part of the jazz band, marching band, and wind ensemble. [2] According to Sorum, he and his high school band, Prophecy, would play at The Starwood on amateur nights. [3]

Sorum's work with Chateau produced a four-song set that was covered by local radio stations for a short time, but the music scene changed from grandiose rock to punk and alternative new wave music. Sorum left and went to Hollywood to play with a series of bands, including Population Five, with bassist Prescott Niles from The Knack, and Hawk, replacing Scott Travis, who went to play with Racer X and later Judas Priest. [4] He then left on a tour around the country with a blues guitarist, playing nightclubs and bars.

In 1988, he was recruited to play on the debut album of Y Kant Tori Read, a band fronted by a then unknown Tori Amos. In the wake of that project, he joined The Cult as their live drummer for the 1989/1990 tour in support of Sonic Temple .

1990–1997: Guns N' Roses, Slash's Snakepit and Neurotic Outsiders.

In 1989, Slash saw Sorum live with The Cult on the Sonic Temple tour and, shortly after, Sorum joined Guns N' Roses as Steven Adler's replacement.

Sorum with Guns N' Roses can be heard on the 1990 cover of the Bob Dylan track "Knockin' on Heaven's Door", the albums Use Your Illusion I , Use Your Illusion II (excluding the track "Civil War"), "The Spaghetti Incident?" , the 1994 cover of The Rolling Stones track "Sympathy for the Devil" and the majority of Live Era: '87-'93 . Sorum featured fully on the lengthy Use Your Illusion Tour, drumming on all of the 194 shows, 9 legs and to over 7 million fans.

In 1994, Sorum formed Slash's Snakepit with Slash and Gilby Clarke and drummed on their debut album, It's Five O'Clock Somewhere . Sorum also lent his drumming skills to the theme song for the 1995 20th Century Fox film Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie . That same year, Sorum formed the supergroup Neurotic Outsiders, which featured bandmate Duff McKagan. In 1996 they released their only album, the self-titled Neurotic Outsiders. John Taylor (Duran Duran) and Steve Jones (Sex Pistols) also participated on this album, and toured behind it. Early performances featured guest spots by Simon Le Bon (Duran Duran), Slash, and Billy Idol.

In 1997, Sorum was fired from Guns N' Roses by Axl Rose after an argument with Rose over the inclusion of Paul Tobias in the band. [5] Sorum claimed that Tobias made disparaging remarks about a Slash performance on TV, resulting in him blowing up at Tobias. Slash had recently left the band, and Sorum told Axl “without Slash there is no Guns N’ Roses”, to which Rose asked if he was going to quit the band. Sorum said no, then Rose fired him. [6]

In April 2006, nine years after leaving Guns N' Roses, Sorum re-established his friendship with the band's lead singer Axl Rose. [7]
