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: \u003ci\u003eUse Your Illusion I\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eII\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame inductee and 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.
