This is a truly fascinating conversation with the man who played drums on <strong>November Rain</strong> and toured the world with one of the biggest rock bands of all time.</p><p><br></p><p>Matt talks about how he ended up joining <strong>Guns N' Roses</strong> after <strong>Slash</strong> and <strong>Duff McKagan</strong> saw him play with <strong>The Cult</strong>. He also describes how the <strong>Use Your Illusion</strong> and <strong>The Spaghetti Incident</strong> albums were recorded and how he eventually got into songwriting with <strong>Slash</strong> for the <strong>Slash's Snakepit</strong> project. He also has a funny story about how he discovered dance music at a foam party in <strong>Ibiza</strong> with <strong>Slash</strong>. He talks about his blues project with <strong>Billy Gibbons</strong> of <strong>ZZ Top</strong> and how he had to revise his blues shuffles on the drums. He speaks fondly of his brief time touring as drummer for <strong>Motorhead</strong> while <strong>Mikkey Dee</strong> was temporarily unavailable and how he loved playing with <strong>Lemmy</strong> and <strong>Phil Campbell </strong>- my dad. Matt also goes into detail about his soon to be released app '<strong>Artbit</strong>' which was designed to help musicians, dancers and artists get paid for their exposure online while offering charity donations. He also talks about his new beer '<strong>The Drummer Beer</strong>' which I personally cannot wait to try!</p><p><br></p><p>I hope you enjoy, please <strong>subscribe to the podcast</strong> and leave a review if you would be so kind.</p><p><br></p><p>I'd like to give a special thanks to my <strong>top-tier Patreons </strong>for their extended support<strong>. </strong>Cheers to<strong> Dean S Monahan </strong>and<strong> Rudi Pauly.</strong></p><p><br></p><p>If you'd prefer not to commit to monthly payments you can still support me by sending a small, one-off donation via the&nbsp;<strong>Acast</strong>&nbsp;support feature -&nbsp;<a href=\"http://supporter.acast.com/drum-for-the-song\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>http://supporter.acast.com/drum-for-the-song</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p>Any donations, no matter how big or small will be massively appreciated and help me to continue making these podcasts.</p><p><br></p><p>You can also search social media for '<strong>DrumForTheSong</strong>' to keep in touch.
