3. Neurotic Outsiders - Nasty Ho (1996)
Neurotic Outsiders were the supergroup composed of Matt, Duff McKagen, Steve Jones and John Taylor. Originally just an excuse to have fun, they released their self-titled debut in 1996.
Matt Sorum says:
"I love Nasty Ho. Steve Jones from the Sex Pistols was in that band and we recorded that album for Maverick. It didn't sell a load but it was a really cool album. We recorded it with Jerry Harrison from Talking Heads."
"I was just blown away by Nirvana at the time, with Dave Grohl - I wanted some of that, so I played very Neanderthal on that album," Matt Sorum
"I was just blown away by Nirvana at the time, with Dave Grohl - I wanted some of that, so I played very Neanderthal on that album, just how Dave plays."
"Steve Jones is the greatest rhythm player of all time as far as guitar players go. Guy Oseary, who ran Maverick Records with Madonna, would come to every show and I'd see him in the front row. He offered us a record deal and we didn't even want one. We asked him for some stupid amount of money and they gave it to us. We were like, 'Okay!'"
