Band members Slash, Matt Sorum and Duff were in the legendary line-up of Guns N' Roses and then singer Scott Weiland was (and is now back) with Stone Temple Pilots. THIS WEEK'S behind the scene backstory finds Stevie Salas needing to convince Matt Sorum into flying from his home in LA to Winnipeg, Canada to appear on the show. Matt is reluctant, due to the fact that he is on the Hollywood Cantaloupe Diet. He's heard that cantaloupe is hard to find in 20 below zero Winnipeg. Steelbird organizes for the fruit to be Fed Ex'ed to Winnipeg but Eric eats it all. A quick-thinking Steelbird saves the show!!!
