VELVET REVOLVER/ex-GUNS N' ROSES drummer Matt Sorum has told Joe Bosso of MusicRadar.com that he thinks GUNS N' ROSES will get back together. "I'm sure it'll happen eventually," he said.
Sorum isn't so sure about his involvement in a reunion, however. "They could be having meetings about it right now. They could be in a bomb shelter, with Axl [Rose, vocals] and Slash [guitar] and Duff [McKagan, bass]. And Izzy [Stradlin, guitar]! Maybe Steven Adler [original GUNS N' ROSES drummer] '” I don't know. I'd probably be the very, very, very last guy to get the call."
As for the status of VELVET REVOLVER's search for a new lead singer following the departure of Scott Weiland, Sorum said, "We are looking. We are actively looking. We rehearsed for a couple of weeks. We tried out a couple of guys. We have a guy right now that we're still'¦ let me see, what would be the correct word'¦ massaging, as you will '” sort of checking it out, feeling it out, letting him work with us. I'd rather not [say who it is] '” just because I don't want it to get out that he might be the guy. I mean, we like him, he's awesome'¦ It's really weird because [chuckles] Slash and Duff and myself '” especially the three of us '” we were kind of like, 'Wow, this guy shows up to a rehearsal on time, he's really nice, he's easy to get along with,' and it actually kind of scared us, 'cause we thought, 'Is this possible?' God, I was worried for a minute that it was almost like, you know, when you get in a relationship with a girl, or a guy gets in a relationship with a girl, or a girl gets in a relationship with a guy, and maybe they're really, really, really nice, but for some reason you don't really like them. [Laughs] I'm kind of worried that we might be so used to the drama. [Laughs] I kind of looked around at the guys. I said, 'Man, this guy is a super-nice dude. You think we can go with that or what? [Laughs]'"

They seem to be too fixated on his personality instead of his talent. Who cares if he's a nice guy or not. It's his vocal ability that should count. Axl's living proof that douche-bags can be successful.

Maybe he's trying to guilt them into including him. Him even saying this makes me wonder if those discussions are really taking place...
I don't think any discussions are taking place, I think he's being sarcastic and paranoid. I don't think Slash would appreciate this interview considering he's always saying that in no way, shape or form will a reunion happen. By Matt saying eventually, he's only speculating himself.

I'm glad he realizes he's not gonna get the call. It'll be easier that way.
