During the interview Morley asked Sorum, "Tell us about the band title, Matt Sorum's Fierce Joy. Where does the happiness angle come from?" Matt responded, "I was the drummer for Motorhead a few years ago on a tour when Mikkey wasn't able to tour. It was so much fun to hang out with my good buddy Lemmy Kilmister.

"We were talking one night and he was just so appreciative about getting to play music for a living. One night he says to me (adopts British accent), 'I have such a fierce joy about playing. I mean, I could be digging ditches. But instead I'm able to do this.' (laughs)
