Matt's First Journal Entry 8/3/04

My First Diary Entry

Hello Velvet Revolver People,
This is the first entry in my diary. Everything has been going so crazy this is the first time I've had a chance to sit and reflect on what's been happening. Right now I'm on a plane back from playing the Rolling Rock festival. Me and Scott took a later flight back to L.A. than the rest of the band so we could sleep a bit, but got to the airport to find our plane had been delayed 5hrs. With no other flights out we waited. Missing home. It's really a drag.
Sometimes it's hard dealing with all the travel. I love playing with this band so much, but sometimes I get bummed about all the hassle in between. But nevertheless I really feel like this is the greatest band I've ever been in. And as you all know I've been in a few. So much hard work has gone into putting this together and now everything is moving. The American tour was amazing. The fans were better than ever and made us all feel so good to be playing for you. Thank you so much. Sometimes my life feels like a dream, very surreal. As a kid it was all I ever thought about. Rock and Roll was always in my blood. And it's good that our fans feel that way too.
Just finished shooting the video for "Fall To Pieces" last week, I think it's going to be amazing. Back to L.A. now to pack, then off to Europe. 5 weeks there and then we are working on a big tour of the States in October.
Can't wait!!!
Love to all of our fans and thank you again,
Matt Sorum

Cool, thanks for posting.

Big tour in October??

Being selfish, I hope they stay away from the arena rock allure.? I realize the money will be the bottom line, (which it always is) but I hope they keep it to at most, theatres.?

The arena rock vibe is just so fucking passe', it's almost boring.

For me at least.

that's great. he's so humble. really endearing. backstage at the ny show, he sent some crew member back to get pens because many of the fans didnt have anything for them to sign with. he was like really concerned about it. such a great guy.

Well if they do play arenas I hope they pick another good rock band so they can make sure its a great show, full arenas, and not a cheesy opening band that gives you a headache
