SORUM, MATT (author) : GIBBONS, BILLY F (introduction)
DOUBLE TALKIN' JIVE Signed Limited Edtion Book and Red Vinyl LP Record Set
Los Angeles CA: Rare Bird 2022. Book. New. Hardcover. Signed by Authors. 1st Edition. HB Book and Red Vinyl LP Record Set Limited to 500 Sets - Boldly Signed by Matt Sorum on tipped-in page - Both book and LP are NEW/NEW - The vinyl includes Matt's narration of three chapters from the book with his musical accompaniment. - In Double Talkin' Jive legendary drummer Matt Sorum takes music lovers behind the scenes of a remarkable life in rock. Sorum whose albums have sold tens of millions of copies around the world provides an honest engaging account of the highs and lows of superstardom. Sorum recounts his childhood years idolizing Ringo Starr and surviving an abusive stepfather. After leaving high school Sorum sold pot to get by. Over time his drug dealing escalated to smuggling large quantities of cocaine a career that came to a halt following a dramatic shoot-out. Sorum fled his old life and settled in Hollywood where he'd enjoy a rapid ascension to rock 'n' roll immortality. He caught his big break drumming for the Cult and only a year later was invited to join Guns N' Roses with whom he'd record two of rock's most iconic albums: Use Your Illusion 1 and 2. - The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Grammy Award-winning Sorum opens up with forthright honesty sharing anecdotes from his time touring the globe battling drug and alcohol addiction as well as working with Axl Rose one of the greatest frontmen in rock Slash and the rest of the GNR team. His career with the Cult Guns N' Roses Velvet Revolver Motörhead the Hollywood Vampires and Kings of Chaos costars an ensemble of rock royalty from Billy Idol to Steven Tyler Billy F Gibbons and Alice Cooper. - Double Talkin' Jive goes beyond the clichés of sex drugs and rock 'n' roll telling the very human story of what it takes to make it in music and the toll stardom exacts from those who achieve success. Sorum invites fans to revel in the debauchery of the good times but also paints a stark portrait of life after the party. Music fans of any generation will find value in the pages of this evocative thoughtful and candid autobiography. Rare Bird Hardcover
