Tune in at TheRockRadio.com this Sunday June 5, 2005 as the original GUNS N' ROSES drummer Steven Adler, now on the road with his band ADLER'S APPETITE, talks about Axl Rose, how the singer threatened to kill him, the long-overdue "Chinese Democracy" album, drug addiction in the GUNS N' ROSES camp and why he was thrown out of the band.
"Axl ruins it not for himself and for the rest of us (Slash, Izzy, Duff, Steven) but he ruins it for the fans. We all know he is great but he has his moments, well lots of moments... he's a jackass basically, a fucking weirdo, and he can kiss my ass" says Alder.
About "Chinese Democracy": "If he puts it out he thinks he'll sell 20 million copies. Well, maybe he's lucky if he goes gold. There's no hits on it, it's crap."
Steven Adler does not rule out a reunion with all original GUNS N' ROSES band members but sets one precondition: "I have to punch [Axl Rose] in the face. I have to get one good shot at him first. The fucker has wasted so much of my time, so much of people's times."
TheRockRadio.com's interview with Steven Adler will air this Sunday during "Guns N' Roses Hour".

So what has Axl done to Adler that Adler hasn't done to himself ? Adler has tried to kill himself a couple of times, bake his brain to the point it's affected his sppppeech. Adler is the one who wasted his time, not Axl. Wait a minute, I'm sticking up for Axl ? That was some good smoke.  |

How come it seems like everyone has heard this album?

As I said before: If there is a GNR reunion, Matt Sorum will be their drummer, NOT Adler.

Wait a minute, I'm sticking up for Axl ? That was some good smoke.  Are there REALLY people out there who give a f*ck what Steven Adler has to say? Sorry, I guess I'm not one of them. The dude was an average drummer on his best day, sucked d*cks to pay for his habit (a fact that he has admitted), and got himself kicked out of G 'N' R because he couldn't keep his sh*t together...a gig that he was damn lucky to have in the first place.  Yeah, Axl is an assh*le...but Adler just needs to go away. |

Adler is the one who wasted his time, not Axl. Wait a minute, I'm sticking up for Axl ? That was some good smoke. LOL Rikki ;D To be fair, Adler was kicked out of the band when he was coming OFF smack, and was so sick that he couldn't play, which considering that the rest of the band at that time were so fucked up themselves it was kind of hypocritical. Of course it WAS Adler's choice to get hooked on every drug imaginable in the FIRST place, so I don't have any sympathy for him, no one held a gun to his head and said "snort this", "shoot this", and if he hadn't, he might still have been in the band..well at least until they broke up anyway. So he's totally responsible for his actions, can't blame anyone else for him being in the situation he was and is in except for himself. Sounds like he's trying to get a lot of press lately slamming Axl. Strange though, you never hear Axl slamming him. Not that Axl's not a dick, but just saying ..so Steven's strokes, his suicide attempts etc. those were all a direct result of his actions, and now he has to live with them...get over it Steven, it's been over 13 years since you were in GNR  |

Referring to what Nightwatcher said about Axl not slamming Adler...I'd have to agree...while the world, including the ex-Gunners are slamming Axl all the time, you almost never hear Axl talking about his old band...maybe he will, once he is back out in the public eye again, but he's had a million chances since starting the recording of the Chinese Democracy album, and hasn't said very much...

Didn't Adler stroke out from all the drugs? Wasn't that right around the time guns n roses dumped him? I remember Adler saying they dumped him because of his stroke.

Your probably right...but Adler was a better fit. To me Sorum is a soulless drummer. Adler may not be technically as good, but he had more grit and more feel. Sorum is mechanical, boring and repetitive. Always did the same fills over and over.
