Matt Sorum Performs at Guitar Center's Drum-Off 2009

[zmcg1]

Yay six minutes of money beats...

[condeguga]

hot chicks back there. that's rock n rol!!!

[flu55ball]

Whats the deal with the ugly middle aged dancers?

[SpikeModZit]

To the Morons dissing this guy, listen to his drum solo from the 1991 GNR Welcome To Destruction gig (the infamous St Louis oneP) being a drummer ain't all flash rubber arm solo's. Bands want a solid steady beat behind them not some flailing lunatic. I'd love to see one of you keep time with him.

[enoch5000]

3 Min and nothing happened???

He is not doing ANYTHING !!! That's why he brought the chicks !

Just because you are famous do not mean that you are good drummer !!!

I respect his trajectory, but he is a mediocre drummer.

Ohhh and if a douchebag feels offended... Sorry, is true.

[MrSlashhGNR]

Matt play simple songs,because that is easy for him and he can watch the chicks around him !! Thumbs up if you thing i am right :D

[sirtop001]

4:00 song name pleaseeeee

i know it's a Metallica song but dont know its name ; ))

[SpikeModZit]

@sirtop001 Sad But True

[knightkeeper89]

Why would you play that at the Drum Off?? Embarrassing....

[out0fstepxxx]

One... Two... Three.... Four....

[initiatr]

I'm embarrassed for him. Matt, you are better than this. Not even playing "Sad But True" right...

[idrumfofun1100]

Sooooo.. was it amateur drummer night?

[bryan350z]

@idrumfofun1100 Being an amateur drummer means that a person doesnt get paid to play. This guy became a millionaire playing drums, and most likely guitar center paid him an assload of money to show up that drumfest thing. This guy is anything but an amateur, but idk what people expect from a 50yr old dude that plays strip club anthems.

[IzzyStorm1996]

hey its tommy lees drum kit

[onlychance6]

i like sorum, but steven adler is still much better.

[Chrissvinnnie]

@onlychance6 Not technically but yeah I liked him better too..

[STIXAHOY]

THIS IS NOT ART.....

[lairdog2001]

Matt Sorum = living proof that it's who you know over talent.

[nastymonsters2]

@lairdog2001 bog standard drummer...nothing more...theres teenagers on youtube who own this bloke

[Funkydrummer91]

as boring as taking a long shit with nothing to read

[slashlol666]

matt sorum < steven adler

[DeadtreeFilms1]

@slashlol666 Maybe in GNR, but Matt stands on his on merit as a drummer.

[IAmMattLewis]

Fucking boring.

[mcsqrd]

I could do without the no talent crack whores. Who told them they could dance?

[whiteley1989]

a think most important thing about being a drummer that clearly most of you forgot about was its about keeping the beat and that is what he does well hes not a great solo artist though but does the songs justice and thats what counts

[DupaCycDupa]

@whiteley1989 all I see here is that the most important thing about being a drummer is to twirl drum stick and have some chicks backing you up

[allfu93]

does anyone know the name of all the songs??? i know some but not all

[gtrwizrd567]

@allfu93

4;57, Slither

[allfu93]

@gtrwizrd567 i know that one, i mean the ones that are not acdc, metallica, guns n roses, or velvet revolver songs.

[drobledo90]

@allfu93

In the order that they're played:

1. Pour Some Sugar On Me - Def Leppard

2. The Stroke - Billy Squier

3. Back in Black - AC/DC

4. Sad But True - Metallica

5. Slither - Velvet Revolver

[allfu93]

@drobledo90 finally!!! thnx!!

[vez1985]

shit

[dyslexic89]

he isa a fantastic drummer but he looked like a newbee in this what a waste of a chance to play in a place like that

[donottawaguitar]

pungent

[generatrix999]

There's drummers who can play this with one hand

[azuboy98]

Whats the song being performed?

[MrAlexmetal]

your right he never change beat at all those are so easy songs to play .

[32thinlizzy]

Hey, pussies that say he sucked and it was boring can fuck yourself. He is a good ass drummer he is playing songs not solos fucking dumbass's and rock drumming is hardcore fucking queers. You wana hear computer beats go in your closet and watch biever.

[spacitydrummer4JC]

I want to see someone fun and exciting, not a rock drummer.

[axllovesslash]

fuck yeah, may not be fancy but its rockin and agressive

[TheRedEvening]

What is the first he played?

[thalesamf]

@TheRedEvening Pour Some Sugar on Me, by Def Leppard.

[CHC4669]

I don't get it. Wake me up later I'm taking a nap.

[LeafsFan4Life83]

The chicks were the eye candy for me....I especially like the blonde but their all equally attractive....As far as Matt's drumming goes I think he did pretty well considering it's not his music he would normally play.I still miss the old Matt in the 90's with guns,he looked way better with the hair he had back then and his red bandanna then he does here with that stupid gay police hat and his short hair....But for me the faces he makes will always be the best....priceless.

[thickpooxbox360]

He may be a solid session player but solos arent his thing

[TAILLGUNNERR]

all that fuckin hype is complete sell out bullshit to me -fuck Tommy Lee, fuck Matt Sorum and fuck these dumbass drum offs the drummers who actually compete are far better than these assholes! -velvet revolver and the cult are good shit but this asshole is garbage im sorry this is fucking ridiculous p.s those bitches need to get off the fucking stage they look retarded

[rock100pre]

BILLY SQUIER twho song THE stroke YEAHHHH

[rock100pre]

DEF LEPPARD songs -pour some sugar on me- ALBUM HYSTERIA 1987

THE CULT, ACDC, METALLICA, VELVET REVOLVER. NO TOCARON NADA DE GUNS AND ROSES STUPID SHIT FUCK YOU

STEVEN ADLER THE BEST

[xenoht]

coulda phoned that one in...

[oMarginall]

ops: He play*

[oMarginall]

His play with Pearl Jam too...Or not?

[claraleroux78230]

j'adore mon frere et bateur alors J'ADORE

[raiders1815]

........rock drummers arent very good

[REMdu62129]

sad but true ahah !

[drumsnfarts20]

matt sorum featuring his strippers should be the tittle

[bbub123]

you do not have to be extremely technical or have insane double bass to be a great drummer as seen here

[slipknottangels]

The best hard rock drummer!!!!!

[luispiresparada]

@slipknottangels Absolutely...

[gabmc1966]

@slipknottangels i think not ,i can name you at least 10 who are miles ahead hes a decent drummer but not great

[Rknl13]

@slipknottangels lol :)

[slipknottangels]

The best hard rock drummer!

[cfsvillanueva]

Matt Sorum is a good pocket player. But come on, its a drum show. This is pretty boring. Whats the point of having dancing girls?

[UtopiaBrands]

Sick!!!!!!!

[lesadoslol]

trop fort j'adore !!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

[canaldeandy]

Pajero qliao xD

[gossowpetrucci]

the oldschool

[metallicguns95]

I love Matt.. but what is the point of playing a bunch of simple songs with the same drum beat?

[slipknottangels]

@metallicguns95 Because,he is the best HARD ROCK DRUMMER ON THE PLANET!!

[08Pearldrummer]

@metallicguns95 to show the versatility of a simple rock groove

[Chrissvinnnie]

@metallicguns95 I agree. Even Lars could play those :O

[elcapoinca]

@metallicguns95 my take on it is that this can be sort of portrayed as that side of drumming that is now a days left behind which is entertaininng and being tight and not overplaying. you can still learn loads from this video. its not weckl or vinnie but it makes sense when you imagine his bank account. he mustve done something right and its within here in this video. learn and admire.

[ThomasMetal75]

This drum performance is boring, considering Matt is a fantastic drummer!

[MrShock1ng]

@ThomasMetal75 this performance is all about the faces of matt playin' :D

ahah

[qleg]

so SUCK !!!!

[hector090397]

is the acorpions drummer???

[sportingscp2]

@hector090397 nope, is the velvet revolver drummer and was guns n roses drummer after steven adler...

[hector090397]

@sportingscp2

lo siento, disculpa mi ignorancia. Era mas facil preguntarle a google xD

[sportingscp2]

@hector090397 don't worry dude ;)

[sportingscp2]

@hector090397 i don't think that google answer you lool i think that you gonna find pages and there you will search (jk) :P

[hector090397]

umm yeah, I think you're right

[LeafsFan4Life83]

I gotta say that when I first saw this I was like wow! That's pretty good,sure he screwed up at some parts but he's not used to playing those bands music but when he started playing Sad But True I was amazed he could pull it off (not perfectly of course) but this was fun to watch....Also I can see he still hasn't gotten away from the GNR drum solo he always did.But I wish he would've left his hair alone.He could lose the hat though plus when it comes to Matt his drum faces are priceless! :)

[mb8605]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[mellilore]

Who's playing drums along with him? Or maybe it's just playing on a base? At 3:58 you can clearly hear a crash but he's hitting no crash at all...

Never liked and there's the why, imho a great Ludwig kit wasted

[ajrigel]

@AamOuissellat He didnt even pull off Def Leppard better than their drummer and he has one arm!!! Give me a break. Groove??? I have more groove swinging between my legs. He is average at best. Check out @shaftninja if you wanna see groove, timing and feel.

[ScreamingOfPain]

the first song?

[MotorheadDrew]

@ScreamingOfPain its Pour Some Sugar on me by Def leppard :]

[ScreamingOfPain]

alguien sabe el nombre de la primera canción?

[CactusG26]

with kind of enviorment you can pretty much be sure that those 4 girls got fucked that night...

[blackviper2011]

those skeezy bitches couldn't dance a beat

[CactusG26]

@blackviper2011 they were there just to shake their heads and asses in a somewhat sexy way.... not to dance...

[sag2000]

THIS IS THE REAL DRUMMER OF GUNS N FUCKING ROSES-FRANK FERRER SUCKS

[BassManDan101]

such a solid drummer!

[judeappetite]

what metallica song is that?

[Doodleydrums]

@judeappetite Sad But True ;)

[kjeldsen81]

Now theres a fuckin Rock N' Roll legend. He deserves all the respect in the world for being so god damn awesome.

[elguachinmusical]

I don't know what people think, but I think he's a great drum player, he has a great energy inside him.

[Sidsix5555]

Im not hating..Im just saying, Im pretty sure I can play that shit, while boning one of those girls and fingering the other one....

[ajrigel]

could he have picked anything easier to play???? i mean come on the contestants in the drum off itself wiped the floor with him. just saying

[AdamOuissellat]

@ajrigel He has the best timing and groove in the room. Those contestants can't touch him.

[samuelhimself]

i see Jason bonham on his computer at his set

[Xunkoko07]

Pour Some Sugar On Me (8)

[outlaw6066]

Matt Scrotum

[Prezzees]

Where are his gloves?!

[jojamero]

fuck you all haters. look at matt. he is playing those hard rock records of the 80's and 90's not to mention with the strippers around him. he is obviously having a time of his life while you guys are just there staring at the pc wanking at some porn sites.

matt sorum drumming + ladies... which one should i masturbate to?

[Nickolas1326]

Poor drumsticks !!!! He rocks !!!!!!!!!!!!

[JayStixxDrums95]

@Loewra827 Matt Sorum > Travis Barker ? this makes no sense to me unless your trying to say Matt inspired Travis then yes that makes sense.

[pipexitasion]

wena



[MAPLEGUNZXX]

the girls look like retards during his solo xD

[kijkkijkkijkkijk]

what is so special about this guy

[george3860]

Yo quiero taco bell,o no im sorry my friend,yo quiero matt sorum back w axl rose and despues taco bell ok...jijijijiji

[krusher74]

where was matt sorum, all i saw was some dancing girls

[krusher74]

I'm not impressed you only need one arm to play the intro!

[TheCoitionsDrummerGu]

@krusher74 You only need one arm to play the whole song, this is not guitar center drum-off worthy. We need a drummer like Will Kennedy, Dennis Chambers, Carter Beauford or Jose Pasillas up there.

[cobboGHS91]

@krusher74 yeah i have to agree, im a huge matt sorum fan, he's an amazing drummer and could have played all of these songs one handed.

[JonasBridgous]

Camera . . . just focus on the girls a bit more please! oooooooooooooh !!

[xvi00]

Fan bloody tastic....Well done Matt!

[LeoMontebello]

Guns n' Roses forever

[JayStixxDrums95]

i wish hed do more fills and shit so far its been normal beats like simple as hell ones. he should mix it up like travis barker it. sorry thats the best i got for discribtion

at least the last bit was sick to me

[teleman001]

I dont know why there are always so many dudes who think its cool to put a fellow drummer down? Matt Sorum rocks. He's gone further, done more and forgot more about playing drums than probably all you whiners put together! Give the guy some credit already. Oh and BTW...put up or shut up, ok?

[JRHerringTV]

not really a fan boy but my thing is,who even gives a shit about anything guitar center does? these drum offs always blow so why would you think people would come on stage and pull out a performance of a lifetime? i mean i love chad smith but his segment what crappy too.

[jofx1992]

it appears that JRHerringTV is a big time fanboy

[jofx1992]

this gave me a whole new respect for travis barker......

[JRHerringTV]

i fucking hate all of you who commented on this video. keep hatin, he's still better and richer than all of you.

[jofx1992]

@JRHerringTV no actually hes about as good as someone who has either taught himself or had 3 lessons. nothing about this was challenging and i can gaurentee im a better drummer then him, i mean i sound shitty on my channel vids because i filmed those when i was in a band in 8th or 9th grade but several years later, what do you know! me and a whole bunch of drummers are better then matt sorum. love the richer than us part too, as if that means anything, i suppose justin beiber is better too huh?

[AdamOuissellat]

@jofx1992 There's no way you're better than him, sorry. If you think you are then you have a lot to learn.

[jofx1992]

@AdamOuissellat how am i not better than him. how can annoying not be better than him and how can he possibly think this was not a waste of time to the people who were there to see drumming, not riffing, and not even good kind just this stupid beat over and over. i have alot to learn. ok to do list: make sure i learn lars ulrichs guide to drumming HA!

[JRHerringTV]

@JRHerringTV come on dude seriously? this is a fuckin GUITAR CENTER drum off. i dont think he was too worried about pulling out the best performance for guitar center. those fake ass shows are only about flashyness anyway. chad smith played on a bubble four piece with a white afro wig on for gods sake. its never even about talent at these dumb ass shows.but i never said he was better cause he was richer. it was more like a "haha you're saying he sucks but he wouldnt give a shit" kind of thing.

[doublebassism]

get this taxi cab driver back in is cab

[jofx1992]

the girls were nice but this whole thing sucked and made me hate him kinda

[JRHerringTV]

@jofx1992 what the hell sucked about that?

[jofx1992]

@JRHerringTV umm. really?

[aerodude73]

the LA Pretty boy with his dyed hair & skippers cap & 4 skinny LA dancing tramps. wow. what fun this wasn't. BORING. Keep thinking you're 25 Matt & relevant to the MUSIC Scene.

[drumsnfarts20]

matt sorebum

[emrichni]

f*cking terrible. Jesus.

[emrichni]

fucking terrible. Jesus.

[Magikarpdrums]

I really love how he plays the same beat throughout the video. The creativity is amazing and omg his fills just make me orgasm. And every time he spins his stick it makes me go wild. =|

[DeadLightsBand]

Steven Adler is a far more enjoyable drummer both to watch and listen to...

[1996Dalli]

mATT I'M SORRY BUT THE NICE LADIES TOOK THE SPOTLIGHT AWAY FROM YOU :/

[bigswingingrich]

Dull - really dull. A child could play that. A child with no drumming skills.

[Velvetdrummer]

Matt is one of my favorite drummers. He's awsome

[stylerprofyler]

the half naked girls are testaments to why guitar center is the scourge of the professional music industry.

[ned2one]

one of the most boring drummers I've watched...

[AlephGambit]

Bwah ha ha! Karaoke drums and then a weak little solo. Cheezy and lame. If Matt Sorbum was a contestant he wouldna even made it through the early rounds,

[jjmp221]

I'm so glad that Matt sorum can play a basic drum beat for seven minutes. That's awesome.

[fitnessisgood4u]

Matt looks as bored as I am watching this. Great drummer, why is he doing this?

[TheJakedrums]

Dibs on the redhead



[MrJonnyrough]

absolute bollocks. sexy chicks can't hide how shite you are on drums, get yerself back into rehab!

[iKickChickenzz]

Who the hell is this?

[vr6sy]

@iKickChickenzz Guns n roses drummer!

[2002drummerdude]

4.51 slither velvet revolver

[moderndrummer00]

All haters fuck off ;)

[excelerater]

no one likes billy squire !

[smattman22]

Im not hating, I like this guy. But I just wanna point out that all i saw was a 2 4 beat.

[samiparisis]

So much coke.

[BDFPA]

i'm sorry matt but that was fucking embarrassing. But you still win, because you are somebody with a stunning wife and extreme wealth and i don't have neither of those things. Bastard! :)

[uhstud68]

hey! Sad But True was played by a real drummer. hahaha

[logansdrums]

this guy sucks!!! fuck 4/4 shit

[ghartism]

And all commentary about who's the best bullshit is just that ...opinion. The real bottom line is Money talks, bullshit walks. Look at those who really are laughing all the way to the bank, while the most talented, fastest, best techniqued, whatever, suffer in mediocrity. Matt has a great living at success. Look at his credits and think royalties. He's set. What say you?

[ghartism]

Oh and by the way, the blonde is Ace Harper, his girlfriend, and the girls including Ace is the Darling Stilettos, a band he supports by backing them up with musicians and his expertise.

[ghartism]

If you want to know the truth, we need more drummers willing to drive a band, rather than be the lead of one. Nothing wrong with those who are talented to lead, but the main point is we need to master the basics first, and those that do will have a good career...Matt has a very good career.

[daniel3786]

regardless of his solo ability he is an awesome powerful rock drummer.

[2002drummerdude]

he's awesome at pour some sugar on me

[rafael99893]

bateria ta uma droga

[TheCepa95]

37 idiots!!!

6:15  matt sorum
