Hey, it's Matt Sorum from Guns and Roses, Velryvolver in the Cult, here on the Vinyl Guide.

Well, thank you very much, Matt. And hey, everyone, it's Nate here. Welcome to episode 292 of

the Vinyl Guide, the podcast for the record and music nerd in all of us. And today, we are experiencing

vinyl with the drum legend himself, Mr. Matt Sorem.

Now, you may know Matt from his years with Guns and Roses, the cult, velvet revolver,

and more, but what you may not know is that Matt not only has a vinyl subscription service,

ExperienceVinyl.com, but he also has a brand new autobiography coming out, double talk and jive

on rarebirdlit.com. There's autographed books and vinyl up there. You could also get the book on

your Kindle when you purchase it from the website that was founded by the guy who recently wrote a

penis-shaped rocket in the space, but I strongly urge you to get your copy at

rarebirdlit.com, or you can order Matt's double-talk and jive book from your local

independent bookstore.

Now, today, Matt and I talk all about his new book, his timing guns and roses, some velvet

revolver, what's rotating on his turntable these days.

We talk about Matt's experience vinyl subscription service, his recent collaboration on Billy Gibbon's

solo LP hardware, and lots, lots more. Plus, I want to extend a huge congratulations to Matt

and his wife, Ace, on the arrival of their beautiful baby girl, Lou Ellington Soarum.

She arrived shortly after we had this interview and has no doubt kept the family occupied and busy ever since.

So please know that when you buy a copy of Matt's book Double Talk and Jive,

you'll not only get a book full of tales of Matt's incredibly fascinating life,

but part of the proceeds also go towards baby food and nappies.

And those things don't pay for themselves.
