VELVET REVOLVER Drummer 'Not Affected' By Jump To Arenas

April 6, 2005

Launch Radio Networks reports: VELVET REVOLVER drummer Matt Sorum said there's been little adjustment needed in making the jump from clubs and theatres to arena-sized venues on the band's current Electric Wonderland tour. "The stage is a little bigger, but it feels pretty much the same to me," he said. "I mean, I'm not too affected by it. It's just nice. I mean, you get to the gig and it's just easier to deal with the — the venue's just set up better, usually, when you have a bigger venue. That's pretty much what they're built for, you know, is playing big rock shows and stuff."

VELVET REVOLVER resumes the Electric Wonderland tour on April 12 in Chula Vista, California, with dates booked through May 25.

Sorum also told Launch last week that VELVET REVOLVER will play 10 Ozzfest dates, commencing on August 16 in West Valley City, Utah. The last seven dates will be in lieu of IRON MAIDEN, which drops off the bill on August 20.
