Matt On The Road With Motörhead

I found this little gem on Flickr allegedly posted by Matt Sorum. Yes the same Matt Sorum, filling in for Mikkey Dee, on the skins for Motörhead.

This is apparently his photostream called jo-motorhead and for all intense-and-purposes, it looks legit.

Here is Matt and his wife with dog guru Cesar Milan. Apparently Matt made a video for Cesar about some of the problems he was having with one of his dogs.

Cesar responded and is now taping an episode with Matt for his show, 'The Dog Whisperer' on The National Geographic Channel.

Matt also made an appearance on LA Ink and talks about the show on his photostream.

Here's a post from Matts photostream about being on the road with Lemmy and Phil and touring with Motörhead.

Have been touring with Motorhead on drums for the last 2 weeks.It has been the most amazing tour I have ever done. Lemmy text me about a week before the beginning of their tour and ask if I could fill in. I was truly honored and overwhelmed at the same time. I was in the middle of moving which as we all know is the worst. But how could I say no. This gig is a once in a lifetime opportunity and Called Lemmy back and said yes and asked when we would rehearse. He said we could do a sound check in Washington DC at the 930 club. I felt some anxiety about it but was still very up for the challenge. Mikkey Dee is an amazing drummer with a lot of chops and a double bass drum master. So big shoes to fill in that department.I have had some experience with double bass, but it has never been at the forefront of my playing.Once again a challenge.Motorhead songs are aggressive and require power, chops and especially stamina.Being off the road for awhile I had to make sure my energy level was in top form. Being a little older now its not as much about drinking 2shots backed by 2 beers before hitting the stage. Its more like make sure I'm rested and healthy and ready to rock period.Also not to let any Motorhead fans down who are the mainstay of Motorhead and the most important thing to Lemmy and Phil.I did my homework by watching Videos and learning all the songs with keeping in mind the integrity of the songs.Listening to Mikkey's versions as well as Philthy Phil Taylor who was a much different drummer than Mikkey.And to respect the songs as well as put some of my own flair on them.8 gigs in I have to say the blisters are healed and the band is sounding great now.Had great shows along the way and met a lot of cool people. I very much appreciate all the support from the Motorhead fans and the band and crew of Motorhead.RockNRoll is alive and well in the USA Rock On!!!
