Double Talkin' Jive

This is a review in the form of a question:
Why can't drummers write good books??

I enjoy a good musician memoir. I've read most of the notable ones. The first one I ever read was Slash's when I was 14 and it changed my life. Since then, I read Steven Adler's and both of Duff's, so I had to read Matt Sorum's autobiography as well. Unfortunately, Matt is pretty pissed about not being included in the reunion, and it shows. This book is just gripes, sex stories, bigger gripes, drug stories, bigger gripes, and times in which Matt Sorum saves the day and nobody thanks him for it. The only chapters I read with any sort of interest are the Use Your Illusion tour chapters, because that tour was chaos.

But I should have known this book would be bad, because there's a deeper, secret truth: drummers can't write good books. Wait, I hear you saying. That seems not true! Alas, I go where the data points tell me. And after reading terrible books from Steven Adler, Tommy Lee, Jeremy Spencer, Joey Kramer, and now Matt Sorum, I am left to the inevitable conclusion: drummers shouldn't write books. There it is. Five data points out of an entire sea of drummers :p can't argue with that!

But for real, skip this book unless you're a GnR superfan.
