ReviewsPraise for Matt Pike "...fronting the berserker roar of High On Fire, a band now on to the eighth in an incredible run of albums which make up one of the 21st century's most impressive metal catalogues." -- Olly Thomas , Kerrang! Magazine "Matt Pike might be more regularly referred to as renaissance man if he didn't also appear to be the physical manifestation of rock 'n roll hedonism, the embodiment of the rejection of all pretension, the inheritor of Lemmy Kilmister's swaggering grit, Tony Iommi's axe wizardry and Hendrix's legendary appetites. And yet, the label seems completely apt given his creative output over the last few years." -- David Howard King , The Collaborative Magazine, "Matt is a true journeyman drummer who's got the chops and the showmanship to have a great career with all the ups, downs, and sideways that you would expect from a cat like him, though with his share of surprises he really needed to get his story told. Double Talkin' Jive is his version of what it's like to have 'the best seat in the house' with some of the wildest, hardest rockin' bands to come down the pike." -- Joe Perry , Aerosmith "Devotees of the rock groups in which Sorum participated will take to this like catnip." -- Library Journal " Double Talkin' Jive is a matter-of-fact, well-written account of one man's rise and lots of his falling through stardom and excess. And most importantly, his survival." -- Vintage Rock, "Matt is a true journeyman drummer who's got the chops and the showmanship to have a great career with all the ups, downs, and sideways that you would expect from a cat like him, though with his share of surprises he really needed to get his story told. Double Talkin' Jive is his version of what it's like to have 'the best seat in the house' with some of the wildest, hardest rockin' bands to come down the pike." -- Joe Perry , Aerosmith "Devotees of the rock groups in which Sorum participated will take to this like catnip." -- Library Journal

SynopsisIn Double Talkin' Jive legendary drummer Matt Sorum takes music lovers behind the scenes of a remarkable life in rock. Sorum, whose albums have sold tens of millions of copies around the world, provides an honest, engaging account of the highs and lows of superstardom. Sorum recounts his childhood years idolizing Ringo Starr and surviving an abusive stepfather. After leaving high school, Sorum sold pot to get by. Over time, his drug dealing escalated to smuggling large quantities of cocaine, a career that came to a halt following a dramatic shoot-out. Sorum fled his old life and settled in Hollywood, where he'd enjoy a rapid ascension to rock 'n' roll immortality. He caught his big break drumming for The Cult, and only a year later was invited to join Guns N' Roses, with whom he'd record two of rock's most iconic albums: Use Your Illusion I and II . The Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame inductee & Grammy Award winning Sorum opens up with forthright honesty, sharing anecdotes from his time touring the globe, battling drug and alcohol addiction, as well as working with Axl Rose, one of the greatest frontmen in rock, Slash and the rest of the GN'R team. His career with The Cult, Guns N' Roses, Velvet Revolver, Motörhead, the Hollywood Vampires, and Kings of Chaos costars an ensemble of rock royalty, from Billy Idol to Steven Tyler, Billy F Gibbons, and Alice Cooper. Double Talkin' Jive goes beyond the clichés of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll, telling the very human story of what it takes to make it in music, and the toll stardom exacts from those who achieve success. Sorum invites fans to revel in the debauchery of the good times, but also paints a stark portrait of life after the party. Music fans of any generation will find value in the pages of this evocative, thoughtful, and candid autobiography., In Double Talkin' Jive legendary drummer Matt Sorum takes music lovers behind the scenes of a remarkable life in rock.
