Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2012 (Guns N Roses)

After a lifetime fueling some of the most volatile bands in hard rock history, Matt Sorum is stepping out from behind the drums with a candid and versatile solo project. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, who has manned the kit for Guns N Roses, Velvet Revolver and the Cult, is unveiling sophomore solo album Stratosphere under the moniker Matt Sorum s Fierce Joy, and the name couldn t be more appropriate. Coined by none other than close friend and Motörhead legend Lemmy Kilmister, fierce joy is an intentional oxymoron, representing not only Sorum s newfound contentment, but his insatiable fire to build positive things on and off the stage.

That contentment is palpable on Stratosphere opener The Sea, a lush tale of spiritual awakening in which Sorum-who wrote the entire record and played acoustic guitar and piano-sings, and the music here is so good I d live with orcas if I could they all sing like Billie Holiday to make all the bad things go away. But the record s often relaxed Americana vibe belies Sorum s intense passion for animal and human rights. He s the driving force behind nonprofit Adopt the Arts, which is responsible for generous musical instrument donations and keeping the arts vital in school curriculums worldwide.
