Description

Double Talkin' Jive is a candid and engaging account of Matt Sorum's remarkable life in rock. Born into a tumultuous childhood, Sorum recounts his struggles with an abusive stepfather and his early days as a pot dealer to make ends meet. His journey eventually led him to become a rock 'n' roll icon, drumming for influential bands such as The Cult, Guns N' Roses, and Velvet Revolver. Sorum shares stories from his time touring the globe, battling addiction, and working with some of rock's most iconic frontmen. He invites readers to revel in the excesses of the rock 'n' roll lifestyle, but also paints a stark portrait of the toll stardom takes on those who achieve success. With unflinching honesty, Sorum shares his experiences, revealing the highs and lows of a life that has spanned decades of rock 'n' roll. This memoir goes beyond the clichés of rock 'n' roll excess, offering a nuanced look at what it takes to make it in music and the human cost of achieving success.
