Guns N' Roses, one of the most iconic rock bands of all time, has been through its fair share of ups and downs, including a highly publicized reunion and the exclusion of former drummer Matt Sorum. The band's 2016 partial reunion saw the return of Axl Rose, Slash, and Duff McKagan, but notably left out Matt Sorum, who had been the band's drummer from 1990 to 1997.

In recent interviews, Matt Sorum has reflected on his exclusion from the reunion, expressing a mix of emotions but ultimately a sense of acceptance. Sorum acknowledged that his time with Guns N' Roses was pivotal, shaping his life and career, but he also recognizes that he is not part of the current lineup. "I'm not supposed to be there," he stated, highlighting his personal growth and the chaotic nature of his past with the band.

Despite not being invited to join the reunion, Sorum has come to terms with the decision, focusing on his own projects and appreciating the legacy he built with Guns N' Roses. Songs like Guns N' Roses Sweet Child O' Mine and Guns N' Roses Welcome to the Jungle remain timeless classics, continuing to define the band's enduring legacy.

As Guns N' Roses prepares for their 2025 European and Middle East Tour, featuring special guests like Public Enemy and Rival Sons, the band continues to captivate audiences with their unmistakable rock spirit. Fans old and new can rediscover Guns N' Roses songs on platforms like YouRadio, where Exclusively Guns N Roses plays nothing but their greatest hits.

For Matt Sorum, the music and memories remain, even as he forges his own path outside of the legendary band.
