Here Today... Gone To Hell!

 :o  :no:

Please say that interview is a joke....

It seems the current line up wants the original line up to take over. ::)

wow...the new guys say the orginal needs to get back toghter??

Put down the needle steve ?::)

Yeah Im sure the guys in the band want Axl to get the old band back together so then their no longer in the band. What the fuck is that guy smoking?

You know, perhaps putting the past behind you is the best thing. It is good to see that 2 of the Appetite Era GNR members are communicating with Axl. A couple more to go.

You know I would love to see a reunion, but still have the current members playing too. That would be awesome. Dreams...

Apparently Steve's still doing drugs.

my god it MUST be a reunion!!! It's abviously is gonna happen at my house, and axl will tattoo "here today gone to the shitter" on his ass!

I know this probably doesn't add much, but all I can say is "What in the bloody hell?" ?:nervous:

For some reason, this gave me the chills.

 :rofl: :rofl:

SIG!!

That was classic haha

i' d love a reunion too!...with matt

Is this interview for real? It seems too much like a parody for it to be real. Time to move on Steven. It's a shame that Adler's life revolves around a five year period, that ended nearly two decades ago.

I'm gunna sit back and watch this thread explode!  :nervous:

This is gunna go every which way , I'm sure ..... 

*sure enough , 10 replies while I typed this .. here we go*

It's real...

It was posted as a bulletin from his official MySpace account.

Even if it is legit, I'd say this is a classic example of "perception = reality." ?I'd bet that Axl's, Izzy's, Slash's, etc., perspectives of these events would all be very different from the way Adler seems to remember them...

And really, nothing against the guy.  I just think his perspective is a bit warped, as well as (unrealistically) hopeful.

 :rofl: :rofl: Thats funny, but prob true (the needle part) which aint funny at all, if this is real then steve is living in a different galaxy never mind on another planet.

No I think its sad.. I saw him on the surreal life the other day... I was thinkin wow drugs fucked that boy up.. But he seemed like he was finally clean... Mabye I was just foolin mysself!

You know, even if there was a reunion with Duff, Axl, Izzy and Slash, it would be with Sorum....not Adler...

Or better yet another drummer....

i've met adler a few times, had drinks with him. He's a very nice honest guy but after a while he tends to forget who you are. He drinks yager like it's sprite and smokes alot of weed, so no wonder. I would imagine his interpretation of his meeting with axl and the band would be very different to everyone elses. Come on!? I would bet a limb that no-one from GN'R encouraged a reunion of the original line-up.

T-

Now, this is some very interesting news now indeed. ? :yes:

I'm surprised this hasn't surfaced sooner. Very good. ? : ok:


/bringbackadler

I could see alot of what he said to be true to be honest. In the right setting I can see current band members saying (instevens presence mind you) "Yo Axl , yeah one day y'all need to get up there and play a few shows and rock the fuck out!!" Then once Stevie leaves they all just giggle or whatnot.  :hihi:

Or maybe some of them wouldnt mind seeing a reunion someday when this democracy album has run it's course or if it was just a temp thing for a few months?

As for Steven , obviously he wants it to happen , maybe Izzy wouldnt mind either. Izzy has been in contact with every original member in the last couple years .. on very good terms to might I add.

A reunion certainly wont be happening ANY time soon , get that straight , this new bands music must be heard , velvet revolvers new music must be heard .. but 4-5 years down the road , who knows? I think the biggest factors to resolve is the relationship or lack thereof between Axl vs slash/duff.

I feel sorry for Adler, but he's pathetic. He was a great drummer back in the day; key word is WAS. He keeps grasping for what's not there and it will never be there. If there ever is a reunion (and I hope there won't be one) it almost definitely won't involve ol' Popcorn.

I'd love to see a reunion.  It's number 1 on Adler's priority list but dead last on Axl's, but you never know what will happen.

I don't know about you guys but this makes me feel a little sick. I really want this band to be considered "Guns N' Roses". If that is true about the other members telling Axl to get the band back together that is absolutely horrible and extremely disapointing. We've waited THIS LONG and stuck behind this band and treated them like Guns N' Roses and if the payoff is throwing it all away for a reunion that is BULLSHIT. I feel sick.

I beg to differ. If a reunion ever happens and adler is still alive and able to play drums I'm thinking Izzy will want him there 110% ... and if he and axl have actually buried the axe I'd wager a guess that axl would welcome popcorn before sorum. And atleast then it can be billed as a full fledged 100% reunion of the original band.

the one thing steven is right about is that it would be the biggest reunion of the year....of the past decade probably....

i agree, if a reunion was ever to happen surely it would have to be with the original line up.

Dude dont sweat it.. IF they did say it, adler took it outta context... Like saul said, if it was said probaly like after CD has run its course, years down the line!

I meant your post was funny not the situation. But as another poster said his idea of reality must be different then everyone elses, if they really spoke for the 10+ hours that Steve says then Axl must have been very drunk. Tellin Axl to reunite the AFD line up must have really pissed him off along with all the current members. I wish Steve the best and all, but the past is the past, a reunion is not going to happen, certainly not with him. ?

if this is true, we'll see the end of the "new" guns very soon indeed, no album and a full reunion as soon as the peacebroker can work his magic. IMHO, of course.

not that i really think thats a good thing.

a reunion would be throwing this away, it'd be bullshit?

I'm guessing you just started liking gn'r this year?
If you got into gn'r becuase of the music that has been released and they makes up 90% of their live show, I can't see how you would call a renuion bullshit.

If there is a reunion, I'd think Dizzy would be on board, so it wont be the AFD five. But if there is a reunion, I hope it's with neither Bore 'em Sorum or the junkie.

I don't want a reunion. Sure it'd be great to go see them play live but we would never get an album from them. I really don't think that these guys could ever function together in a studio again.

I've been a fan for YEARS... A reunion, yes... But not b4 CD is released and see what this band can do!


 :rofl:

How long before someone mentions Rob Gardner and Traci Guns were the "real" original band.

Saul, does "Reunion Democracy Starts Now" start now?

Ha. ?

I like Sorum more now than I did. ?Maybe they could both go on tour... ?Sorum for Illusion stuff and Steve for Appetite.... Hmmm..


Oh well, I am ready for CD and Libertad!

um...first off now I've been around the boards since 2001. We have supported this mystery album for this long we deserve to hear it and see it go somewhere.

I am surprised this hasn't been moved yet as reunion talk is always poo pooed, Jarmo must be sleeping right now ::)

I wouldn't be surprised in the least if Izzy wanted to get the gang back together, and any reunion was always going to start with him bridging the gap anyway.

I don't think we are really that close to one, but having Izzy back in Axl's life at least creates a possibility of one in the future that was previously dead.

Woah, weird interview.

Does anyone know just exactly who was in the original lineup? by which i mean the band called gnr, not just who was in the original recorded lineup...?

it's most likely we will get a reunion at some point, but it has to be after axl has achieved his vision(CD). Axl wont throw away all the years of work he's put in with the new band. Besides a reunion would completely compromise the 'new' gn'r. It wont happen for some time..........I think.

Imma sit my ass down, grab some popcorn, but on some music and just marvel at this thread getting its own legs... :beer:

Axl
Izzy
Rob Gardner
Traci Guns
Duff

I think that is "original"

Slash and Steven joined later... I may be wrong. ?

I'm gonna get the snake out and have a little play.

If there is a reunion, it wont be for a while. I think Axl really wants to see the "Chinese Democracy" project through. And Axl owes it to Robin and Tommy to release the album, as they have been in the band since the late 90s!

As for Adler, even if Axl wanted to play with him, I don't know if Adler could cut it. If there is a reunion, I hope they invite Frank or Brain along. Nothing special about Bore 'Em Sorum.

Well since Ole is dead, there can be no TRUE reunion!

I'm not saying I don't want the album released, trust me, I do. But where in that original post that I quoted does it mention the album not getting released?

I think that the line-up that recorded appetite should be considered the original line up. It's a no brainer really.....Tracci never appeared on an album nor did gardener.

Well, when Izzy/Slash/Duff/Matt were writing together before VR they came up with some material they all said was the best instrumental GNR record to date, so maybe the idea of adding Axl to such a mix really wouldn't be that far fetched. Not like Slash/Duff/Izzy haven't written some killer stuff together in the past that would make you think they have no chemistry together.

i forgot him. were they actually called gnr when he was around?

The Original line up-> the guys who recorded Appetite. That's Guns N' Roses. Not Tracii and them.

Sure, i just want to know for the sake of knowing, who the band gnr was first made up of.

oneinamillion said he didnt want them to throw everthing away(cd) on a reunion... then he called it what he did... when you jumped on him for it, it made it seem like you would prefer a reunion to CD...

I know thats not the case..otherwise you wouldnt be bumblefink!! ?:D

lets see....reunite with the guys who bailed on Chinese Democracy. or stay with the loyal players who saw it to completion?

it's more about axl working with others that i think would cause problems. Look how long this CD thing has gone on for, Slash for one wouldn't hang around waiting for axl to record vocals...thats been seen before.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ole_Beich

Says he played a few gigs with GN'R in early '85.

I agree. ?Original is Appetite.. ?Just answering a question for a fellow board member.

Rob Gardner=Pete Best
Ole=Stuart Sutcliffe

They don't really count.

For any doom and gloom members ... calm down! There is no/has been no/will not be any "real" talks about a "reunion" for a LONG time!! You will hear the new album before you ever see all 5 on stage again , if ever!

And one things for sure , none of these guys will do it for a big "payday" ... so for it EVER to happen ALOT of broken bridges would have to be rebuilt and so on and so on .. it's not just as easy as a couple people saying .. let reunite!

lol

That\'s pretty much what i was thinking.

even if what he said is true, they still need slash. and that probably wont happen. but if slash does fall, duff will come back too. but i highly doubt slash / axl are ready yet haha.

Absolutely agree, Saul. Izzy thought very highly of Adler. Recall:

"Adler's drumming made the band; he made a big musical difference. His sense of swing was the push and pull that gave those songs their feel, afterwards, nothing worked." ? Izzy Stradlin

For a full fledged reunion, Adler is a must. Sorum picked up the pieces very well, imo, but Adler is the only logical choice. ? :yes:

But can Adler play the way that he once did?

I've heard people say he killed it with adlers appetite... but now the question can he write new stuff??

Tommy said a few years back that he'd step aside if Axl wanted to do a reunion.

If Axl wanted he could fire everyone and be done with the current lineup, but I don't think he'll do that.

He'll probably put out Chinese Democracy, tour for a year or two and then consider reunion options.

GNR will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in about five years, so the timetable would be fine.

Gilby made a good point in an interview that Sorum would be able to handle the Illusions material better than Adler if a reunion ever came about.

If there is a reunion...please, no Sorum!

Absolutely. Despite what many think about Adler because of past ghosts, he has always IMO, standed out as the one true Guns N Roses drummer. People make mistakes and they learn. It happens. For awhile, it was necessary for someone(s) to fill in, but I believe Steven Adler is ready to re-claim his throne. ? : ok:

But will his mom let him?

I'd like for Steve and Axl to meet again.

Maybe third time would be a charm ?   :peace:


/bringbackadler

Yeah I dont think Adler would be able to get down the repetitive drumming of the UYI albums  ::)

well, if it?s all true what he said, I just thinking that after Chinese Democracy is released, probably this record will be played and talked for at least 2 years (singles, video clips, interviews...) not to mention the "3/4 albuns project" that we all heard along this years... so, I don?t think that Axll will put all this work in hiss ass and do a reunion to just play AFD songs (OF COURSE the old band wont play new songs by the new band)

But I think that the only possiblity of a reunion show is something like Rage Against The Machine will do or even a Heaven and Hell tour, but not a whole year (probably not even a whole month) ...

not to mention that if this someday happen within the next 3 years, Axl will burry almost 20 years of "work" with his new band by people saying AGAIN thoses "This is GUNS N ROSES, I kinda like the CHINESE DEMOCRACY ALBUM and it?s better than the old albuns, but blablabla, Slash, Duff, Adler, Izzy and Axl are GUNS N ROSES"...

the part about the guys in the band saying to Axl, "Fire me!!!" is not believable. "Thats basically what Steven says they're saying.

not believable what so ever. And I doubt you'd see those guys bowing down and shouting "We're not worthy!!!"

I think a one off show with the original lineup is a possibility...maybe if MTV does a best of or whatever they do for bands they will perform. ?Other than that I don't see it happening ANYTIME in the near future.

There would be no going back to the status quo were Axl/Slash/Duff/Izzy to get on a stage and play together again. A one off won't work, because the magic and electricity of the moment seeing them all together again would make both New GNR and VR seem inadequate afterwards. I think they all sort of understand that, so any semblance of a reunion would have to come only after their separate projects have run their course.

Reunion, Who ?? AFD Line Up is NewGNR...

original is: Axl & Izzy !!

Axl & Izzy = Tour 2006 = guns N' roses = Finck, Tommy, Pitman, reed, richard, BBFT, Frank, Brian.

Simply... STEVEN is drugs, is drugs!!

 :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

tHANKS MAN... fUNNY iNTERVIEW.

hbk *

I just want to say that the conversation was in a very casual context. It's not revolutionary. There's no pending reunion. I think everyone can see it happening, eventually. Yes, Steven would love for it to happen. But don't hate for him that, LOL, who wouldn't want that if they were in his shoes?
It just seems like it's being blown out of proportion a bit.

what the fuck is wrong with (most) of you people? ??? ?:confused:

why wouldn't you want an original line up it would be bigger than any thing ever posibly imagined and you dont want that. You dont want the greatest fucking band in the world then and now to reunite with the originalls? What the Fuck.........seriously ?:confused: :-\ :'(


hell let the old reunite and have the new guns and VR come together and do a tour and they can all tour with each other. think about it
1st CHINESE DEMOCRACY
2nd the originals Reunite
3rd a follow up album
4th who knows what if that happens or something like that happens there are so many possiblities it isn't even funny

i'm not saying i'd prefer the new to the old or the old to the new but either way if something happens it would...no ... it WILL be the biggest thing to happen to music in a very long time

it would simpely be FUCKING HUGE

you can bet your ass on that :yes: :beer: :smoking: :headbanger:
:headbanger::headbanger::headbanger::headbanger::headbanger: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :puke: ?:beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

You should be banned for excesive use of smiley's.  : ok:

just tryin to show my emotions man : ok: ;)

what do you think man you can't deny that this would be Fucking huge
whats your thoughts on it ?
yaa naa? ???



ok i'm all worked up now i'm gonin' to bed Later Ya'll  :peace:

Maybe in a few years.  : ok:

It would be huge, yes, but I want them to record together, not just tour. I don't want a nostalgia act. Axl and his new bandmates actually are recording (we think) AND touring.

 oh, brother bear, it is still going  ::)

one has more effect than many  :hihi:

I want a reunion more than anything...... Who's om drums?? I really don't care.. If Steven could handle it, I would say him.. But I have met him  couple times and he isn't very strong or healthy... (Nicest guy you will ever meet though). I also would have to say NAY on Matt Sorum...... It a perfect world Axl would release CD under his own name or even call the band Chinese Democracy, tour get it out of his system and get it on with Guns N' F'n Roses!!!!

Adler has done smoked himself retarded.

The thread that just keeps on giving  :rofl:

And not in a good way.  What was nice about the first page or so was that it actually talked about the interview and what Steven had to say before spiraling into "who were the orignal members?" and the 547th "reunion" thread...sheesh.  If only we can somehow fit a bit of "who's better?  Slash or Robin?" in here, we'll be all set.    ;D

If nothing else, I'm glad Axl and Steven talked, and that the old members/friends are back in touch with and being civil to each other, no matter how much has gone on between them in the past.

This obsession with a reunion is weird.

Why is it so important?

It's pretty much guaranteed that you can't recreate the past and by reuniting a band, you won't have the same effect the band had decades ago.

Most of them are better musicians now than they were back then, they're grown up, maybe have different views on life etc etc.

None of them would be the angry drunken 20-25 year olds anymore.


It just wouldn't be the same, no matter how much you want it to be.



/jarmo

What I hear and read about Adler reminds me of the goofy old friends you had that were funny back in the day, but are just torture to be around when you get older.  If Adler really is like that, all the drugs and alcohol in the world would not have been enough to help Axl endure 10 hours of Adler chewing his ear off.

Would have been funny but cruel if Axl just said to him, "Yeah, I'm getting the old band together next week, we're playing at the House of Blues.  Be there at 9."  Then Steve would show up with his drumsticks and wait until dawn, telling everyone who will listen, "No, they'll be here, they're ALWAYS late!"

and i say that with all due respect to the guy.   i wish Steven all the best and really feel for the guy.   the retarded bit is out of line i'll admit.   but i really don't believe the events that took place went anything along the lines of what Steven is suggesting.     :peace:    If they did, thats seriously fucked up.

Yeah, it must be official cuz its from his "Official" MySpace account that is run by his "Official" close personal friend that he never "Officially" calls and never "Officialy" finishes talking to and that "Officially" knows "Officially" nothing about anything "Official."?

My two cents is that the water was boiling, the needle was ready to go - so Steven had to go!!

I "officially" sigh.

This will probably happen like The Police reunion. They get back together for couple of songs at their induction to the RnR Hall Of Fame and then decide to do a tour. But that isn't gonna happen anytime soon.

I've seen the guy a couple of times and let me tell you he still kicks some serious ass... :smoking:



This has got to be the first time ever that you've made a sensible post? ;)

I think in the end of the day the current members are music fans, and as such would enjoy seeing a reunion because it would be an immensely monumental day in music. But theyre not gna be worried, they know that their jobs are safe for many years to come.
Cool to hear a little from steven, think its great the ex-members (some of them anyway) have reached a point where they can just be cool with each other and talk as mates, much healthier than the shit that's happened in previous years

Former GUNS N' ROSES drummer Steven Adler's official MySpace page has been updated with a brand new Adler interview, conducted on January 13, 2007. Read on:

Steven: I saw Axl, talked with him from, shit, what was it? 10 or 12 at night to 8 in the morning, we talked. We resolved a lot of fucking shit!

Q: What was that like? That must've been weird!

Steven: It was wonderful! Just wonderful. I was the same happy-go-lucky person that I've always been to him, and he enjoyed it. Dude, we talked 'till 8 in the morning!

Q: Wow.

Steven: It was at The Hard Rock when he played there.

Q: Did you see the show?

Steven: Yeah?three people in his band all look like Izzy! I told him it sucked. I was kidding. I said, "You know the five of us have to get back together! That's when it will really fucking take off again! Nothing will be bigger. It would be the biggest reunion ever in history."

Q: What did he say?

Steven: You know how he is. He just grinned and giggled a little bit. Everybody in his band came up to me, "You're the greatest fucking drummer! We tell Axl, 'You gotta get the band back together!'" That's what they said to HIM! It was wonderful!

Q: What else is goin' on?

Steven: Um, I've been talking with Izzy. I've been talking with Slash. 20 years, dude, since 'Appetite' came out. Axl's record is supposed to come out, in what, a few months?

Q: Yeah, hopefully.

Steven: Izzy wants a reunion. I know what I need to do. Before anything happens, me and Chip (Z'Nuff) have been talkin' about doing a world tour.

Source: Blabbermouth

If there is a single thing I do not want in the world is to see this guy again in Guns N' Roses.

"three people in his band all look like Izzy"

Richard Fortus, OK, but...who are the two others? I don't wanna sound cruel, but I'm not sure 100% of what Steven has said is true...and I fear that this guy is dreaming about a reunion. Kind of sad...

why not??

that's the only thing he's been doing all these years. I think he simply invented all this shit. He's been looking for some attention in the GNR world for years.

Steven Is CRAZY... SImply.


HBK *

If anything, it proves the poster who saw this firsthand was not bullshitting.  We look forward to credible tidbits in the future!  : ok:

No Reunion please I like the new guys !

Steven Adler makes me sad... and I say that with absolute sincerity. 
Didn't he have a stroke a few years back?  So I don't think he's been quite right for a long time.  And all this reunion talk on his part... it sounds like he can't move on (IMO).  Axl sounds like a real good guy who wasn't going to sh*t on Steven's dream.

A one off re-union would be GREAT.  I like the new guys, but I'd rather have CD then a reunion at this point.  Maybe I'll change my mind in a few years.

ain't it a coincidence that it came out from him on the valentine's day??

not trying to be a wannabe mod here but erh:...

http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=43128.0

Oh, I didn't see that thread. I apologize. This may be deleted or merged by a mod. :peace:

i like a guy more than Matt Sorum,but he can not play 70-100 concerts in the year.
He has stroke,he use herion and in his 40ies he can not do a tour
Steven can play a couple shows,but his body will never be prepare to play hard tour

Even,he have to be happy because he is alive

If the interview is genuine... then soes this mean the current guys in gnr arent that serious about the band. I mean perhaps they see it as a project rather than a long term thing.

To be honest I saw gnr twice last year and both were unreal gigs.

But the greatest gig of all time for me would be seeing the original guns... Ax n Slash.. it would be unreal!!!!!

well,steven adler isn't valid source

we HAVE NOT supported THIS band for almost ten years to see it disappear and become a reunion..

As for the current members wanting a reunion?? WTF? if that's not bullshit then they are fuckin insane.

Roll On Reunion ;D :smoking:

First of all alder blow every thing out of proption.

Second of all  I dont want a reunion just yet.

Third of all I would laugh if they picked matt instead of alder for the dummer of the tour.

I don't understand why people hate Steven so much. He is one of the five of the AFD line-up and for this I like him. For me the worst integrant of all GNR line-up has been Matt. Anyways I don?t want reunion I love the current line-up and I am a fan since 1990. For me the only person necessary for being GNR is Axl and in a second place Izzy. I hope the current line-up remains for a long time. However I think that it would be nice having Steven as a guest in some show.

Yea and i personally got two awesome gigs and fingers crossed a new record this year.

But what about the future. Any fan who hasnt seen the original line up... that says they dont want to see that reunion, even as a one off, is simply lying.

it was posted here
http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=43168.0

But it's only some imagination stuff from Steven's head. Sorry for him, he was a hell of a drummer.

Here we go again, I think its already been discussed enaugh, maybe not on this forum but I think its not worth starting a discussion about it couse we will never know if its true or not.

Edit: I dont think and I dont hope its true though.

steven, you drink too much.  :hihi:

id like them to reunite with steven in the future, only if he were clean.....if not then matt obviously, though i hate matts ego.

Steven's career would be jump started from a reunion.  Though I think none of the other band members are really wanting one since the others are into VR 100% and Izzy enjoys his freedom to do what he wants.

Yeah and IF it would be a reunion , I dont want one but IF it would be a reunion I think that Matt would be the one. But I f*ng love the new Guns so lets watch them while they are taking over the world and bring back rock to the world!!

I really hope something comes of this meeting. That would truly be great !

If Adler is ready to re-claim his throne, Brain and Frank should step aside.


/bringbackadler

I don't really believe that. I think Blabbermouth used a little Poetic License and added to it, in my opinion.

haha Adler will be the man who will put the band together again  :D

This is the real thing taken from the official SA myspace:

Steven speaks!


February 14 ? Steven speaks! This conversation took place on Saturday, January 13th. What was really nice (for me) was his heartfelt apology for not being in touch! Naturally, I just appreciate being his friend (who wouldn't?!). The call ended abruptly with him promising to call right back. So I waited?and waited. I was hoping to have him elaborate more on certain things, but we'll take what we can get, right? Sorry I lagged on not giving you the details sooner!

Happy Valentines!


STEVEN: I saw Axl, talked with him from, shit, what was it? 10 or 12 at night to 8 in the morning, we talked. We resolved a lot of fucking shit!

FANSITE: What did he say?

STEVEN: You know how he is. He just grinned and giggled a little bit. Everybody in his band came up to me, "You're the greatest fucking drummer! We tell Axl, 'you gotta get the band back together'!" That's what they said to HIM! It was wonderful! Dude, let me call you back! I'm not ignoring you, dude! You're one of my top best friends, man! You've never done anything to hurt me! I'll call you right back!

FANSITE: No problem, man! But real quick, what else is goin' on?

STEVEN: Um, I've been talking with Izzy. I've been talking with Slash. 20 years, dude, since Appetite came out. Axl's record is supposed to come out, in what, a few months?

FANSITE: Yeah, hopefully.

STEVEN: Izzy wants a reunion. I know what I need to do. Before anything happens, me and Chip (Z'Nuff) have been talkin' about doing a world tour. I'm so sorry, I know it made you feel really bad that I haven't answered the phone, things have been hard on me lately. I miss ya, and I will talk to you later!

FANSITE: Okay, Stevie!

..and that was it. Of course I wanted to dig a bit more! But I hope you appreciate this little tidbit, and, as always, I'll keep you updated as often as possible!

Yes. I believe this conversation  took place.

I don't undersatand why so many people doubt this.

How many of you guys are carrying around 20 year grudges ? People get over shit.

I would love to see Adler back where he belongs.

Until then, does anyone have any info on what's going on with Adler's Appetitie ?
As far as I know, he IS still trying to rebuild the band after last year. Any rumored tour dates or anything ? 

Hope to see you soon, Steve !


/bringbackadler

The last time I saw Seven on TV (a month ago) he looked really, really bad. I mean health wise.

It was way cool Axl met with him, but I wouldn't hold my breath for a reunion. More over, I don't want one.

no, Brain and Frank are both better drummers, there is no reason for them step aside.     get off this reunion crap.

is this vh1 thing on youtube? i can't find it...

I really don't know if its on youtube.

He was shaking quite a bit and couldn't sit still.

I don't really believe that. I think Blabbermouth used a little Poetic License and added to it, in my opinion.

This is the real thing taken from the official SA myspace:

Steven speaks!


February 14 ? Steven speaks! This conversation took place on Saturday, January 13th. What was really nice (for me) was his heartfelt apology for not being in touch! Naturally, I just appreciate being his friend (who wouldn't?!). The call ended abruptly with him promising to call right back. So I waited?and waited. I was hoping to have him elaborate more on certain things, but we'll take what we can get, right? Sorry I lagged on not giving you the details sooner!

Happy Valentines!


STEVEN: I saw Axl, talked with him from, shit, what was it? 10 or 12 at night to 8 in the morning, we talked. We resolved a lot of fucking shit!

FANSITE: What was that like? That must've been weird!

STEVEN: It was wonderful! Just wonderful. I was the same happy-go-lucky person that I've always been to him, and he enjoyed it. Dude we talked 'till 8 in the morning!

FANSITE: Wow.

STEVEN: It was at The HardRock, when he played there.

FANSITE: Did you see the show?

STEVEN: Yeah?three people in his band all look like Izzy! I told him it sucked, I was kidding. I said "You know the five of us have to get back together! That's when it will really fucking take off again! Nothing will be bigger. It would be the biggest reunion ever in history".

FANSITE: What did he say?

STEVEN: You know how he is. He just grinned and giggled a little bit.

I don't want to sound like a horrible bastard, but perhaps Axl was just being nice? I mean if an old mate says we should get the old band back together, you don't wanna say "that's not gonna happen" to his face. you'd just skirt around the subject.

Or maybe he grinned because he's been thinking the same thing.    :beer:


/bringbackadler

Little does Adler know that he was actually at some dive bar down the street from his house talking to the singer of a GnR tribute band. He was just too fucked up to notice and the singer didn't have the heart to say 'uh dude....I'm not Axl Rose, I just play him in a tribute band.'

I personally think Adler is full of shit when he says the band members came up to him and told him he was the greatest drummer ever and especially when he says that they tell Axl he has to get the old band back together because that means theyd be out of the job and If there were a reunion, I think Sorum would be the man over Adler since Slash and Duff are buddies with sorum

Aren't Slash & Duff friends w/ Steven too ?  Also, Izzy ?


/bringbackadler

wtf was this


' Dude, let me call you back! I'm not ignoring you, dude! You're one of my top best friends, man! You've never done anything to hurt me! I'll call you right back!'

??

 :no:

Hey guys this is Brook, I had the conversation with Steven that you are talking about. I just want to say, I know Steven, very well, and I can say with all honesty he is one of the greatest guys who doesn't wish anything bad on anybody. Yes, he is a tortured soul, but there are many people who won't give up on him and will never stop supporting him. Some of these people are among your heroes! But I gotta say:
There are some evil, terrible, mean people on this board! It dosen't benefit ANYBODY being so malicious. I imagine that some of you are so outrageous because you may think you're saying what Jarmo, or even Axl, wants to read. Either way, it's just bad! YES, the guys in Axl's band were probably being nice to Steven with those comments. Of course, I doubt they want to be out of the band anytime soon. I think it was great that Axl was cordial with him! It's you guys that are taking it to the next level and blowing it out of proportion. Remember, this band that you all love and their most popular album, was built from the ground up with much help from Steven. I'm talking about the AFD lineup, y'know, the one that changed the world? It's a matter of opinion, but mine is, he's the GNR drummer that matters and will be remembered.

I agree, its the only lineup that matters in history quite frankly. I hope the nightmare ends and one day we can enjoy what we once had. Peace  :peace:

Adler:

"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."

http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=37647

Whatever, Woody. Steven had every right to say those things. Maybe you and I are both guilty of projecting ideals to Axl and Steven respectively. Neither of them are 100% noble. But they were a tight knit group of friends, and there was hurt feelings and shit talking. Only time will resolve these issues and harsh feelings. If Axl came out and said (this is just hypothetical, don't get in an uproar), "I made a mistake. There is only one Guns N' Roses, the AFD lineup", I think there would be a vast change of opinion among HTGTHers.

Probably, but not me. I would feel like an idiot, for spending years supporting a band that never came to fruitition.

There WILL be a GNR reunion of the appetite lineup. just wait until they are inducted into the RNR HOF : ok: :hihi:

the name Guns'n'Roses smells of bad ass Heavy Metal that was cool in the 1987 and is still just as if not more bad ass now in 2007. I openly welcome both the new and the old. i COULDN'T care less just as long as there is a G'n'R and CHINESE DEMOCRACY (eventually) i'm (i'll) be happy :yes:

when i came here for the first time i thought that everybody wanted the same thing
CHINESE DEMOCRACY
and an eventual reunion of the old G'n'R

i guess i'm sadly wrong and happily right cause its really a mixed sided issue, new or old, reunion or not a reunion. I think that Axl is the only one that can make the decission and so far i('d like to) think that he's made the right ones so far. Only time and good intentions from every one will tell if there will be a full scale reunion.

I, personally, think that there will be one day, its inevitable. It WILL happen...........one day.



 :peace:

I'm w/ this guy.

I want Chinese Democracy, and then I want the reunion sometime in the future.

If all goes well, I think both will happen. I also think both will kick ass !


/bringbackadler

What if Axl renames the album: Chinese Adler?

finally some one that agrees with me. :beer:

great minds think alike man ;)

not great that the media will be concentrating on this rather than the current line-up, but its the NME - what can you expect....

http://www.nme.com/news/guns-n-roses/26513

Guns N' Roses drummer hints at reunion
Steven Adler says original line-up 'have to get back together'
 
Guns N Roses' former drummer Steven Adler has hinted that the original line-up may reform.

The sticksman, who left the band in 1990, revealed in an interview on his official MySpace page that he has been in contact with Axl Rose over a reunion.

Adler said: "I saw Axl, talked with him from, shit, what was it? 10 or 12 at night to 8 in the morning, we talked. We resolved a lot of fucking shit! I said, 'You know the five of us have to get back together! That's when it will really fucking take off again! Nothing will be bigger. It would be the biggest reunion ever in history'.

"He just grinned and giggled a little bit. Everybody in his band came up to me and said, 'You're the greatest fucking drummer!. We tell Axl, 'You gotta get the band back together'!" That's what they said to HIM!"

The drummer also revealed that he has also been in contact with ex bandmate and Velvet Revolver guitarist Slash and ex-rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin, who has already made a number of guest appearances on Guns N Roses' recent tour.

He added: "I've been talking with Slash. I've been talking with Izzy. He wants a reunion."

Rose, who is currently fronting Guns N' Roses, is due to release the band's long-awaited new album 'Chinese Democracy' on March 6.
















 
             
 












 

OMG!!

Edit: In a NO good way!

Unfortunately, as much as I'd love this to be true, I reckon Steven was probably talking to a green pixie floating around his room rather than Axl or any of his band. He just seems a little too far gone for any of this to ring true.

I think the guy lives in a dream world when it comes to a reunion. Mind you, so do I....

lol at this point this brought me a big laugh.. :hihi:

why the long gap in the first post? i thought it would be some /joke thingie :hihi:

I think Adler is doing some mental mastrubation.  Everyone I know says that hypothetically if they were to reform, Matt would be the drummer.  IMO he is much more talented than Adler.

A new interview with original drummer Steven Adler has sparked signs of a reunion involving some of the original members of Guns N' Roses this week.

Adler was the band's founding drummer and played with Axl Rose until leaving the band's in 1990 over drug dependency issues. Since 1997, Rose has led the band solo, working on the now-mythical "Chinese Democracy", which has racked up over $10m in studio fees alone [read: Guns N' Roses album pushed to 2007].

"I saw Axl, talked with him from, shit, what was it? 10 or 12 at night to 8 in the morning, we talked. We resolved a lot of fucking shit!," says Adler.

"It was wonderful!," he adds when asked how he found talking to his old bandleader. "Just wonderful. I was the same happy-go-lucky person that I've always been to him, and he enjoyed it. Dude, we talked 'till 8 in the morning!"

"I said, "You know the five of us have to get back together! That's when it will really fucking take off again! Nothing will be bigger. It would be the biggest reunion ever in history."

"You know how he is. He just grinned and giggled a little bit. Everybody in his band came up to me, "You're the greatest fucking drummer! We tell Axl, 'You gotta get the band back together!'" That's what they said to HIM! It was wonderful!"





A penny for you thoughts 

This drug addled fuck will NEVER play behind Axl again in his life

mh...  i wouldn`t bet too much on that : ok:

a same story of the different title.

whoever wrote this lame ass article got the bullshit story off of this board.

I can't see it happening anytime soon no matter what Adler might or might not believe in his mind.   ::)

It could possibly happen a few years from now but, who knows if Adler will still be alive if/when it happens?    :o    :nervous:

Obviously Adler likes his drugs quite a bit.   :yes:

Not good.    :no:    :'(

there's a bigger chance of a reunion than Adler saying anything credible.

probably the rest of the band was mocking at Steven  :hihi:

if there ever is a reunion, Sorum will be the drummer, not Adler.

This about the 7th time I've read this story on this board.

They were being cool to steven and that's about it.

http://www.nme.com/news/guns-n-roses/26513

I don't buy it.  If there ever was a reunion I'd imagine Sorum would be on drums.  Even the text of the article makes it seem like something he and Izzy talked about but no one else is really considering.   Still, fun to hear the old band members are talking.

Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin a Dead Horse!

The horse is officially dead...

And Adler is officially "addled".

Can't think of why he'd have a reason to lie but.....I still don't quite buy everything Adler says.

What is it with all these things abut Adler saying GNR is gonna get back together?

No, he doesn't even know if he's coming or going...the man has lost it...

If a reunion happened, the last person to mastermind it or organize it would be Adler.
Come on...the guy has fallen so far from grace.
I wish him no ill will, but out of all the guys in GnR, he's obviously the one who would benefit the most from a reunion.
The other 4 original members are all doing just fine financially. It's obvious wishful thinking on his part.

Hints? :hihi:

Steven said that Axl's reaction to him mentioning a reunion was:

You know how he is. He just grinned and giggled a little bit.

But here's the press:

NME - Guns N' Roses drummer hints at reunion

Sound Generator - Guns N' Roses reunion rumours sparked

 :hihi:

I too doubt he is lying - he is just so out of it he probably doesn't even remember what really happened.  Additionally, I truly find it hard to believe that Axl sat around shooting the shit with Steven for 8 hours  - maybe it took Axl that long to figure out what Steven was saying.   :confused:

the guy had 2 Fucking strokes!! lay off him..

You can bash him all you want, but he played on the greatest rock album ever.

funny when people bash guys like adler and  then praise Frank/brain ::)

Um no, as a musician Matt is a BORING drummer. he plays the SAME fills in the SAME place over and over in each song.

adler had groove

Guns N Roses' former drummer Steven Adler has hinted that the original line-up may reform.

The sticksman, who left the band in 1990, revealed in an interview on his official MySpace page that he has been in contact with Axl Rose over a reunion.

Adler said: "I saw Axl, talked with him from, shit, what was it? 10 or 12 at night to 8 in the morning, we talked. We resolved a lot of fucking shit! I said, 'You know the five of us have to get back together! That's when it will really fucking take off again! Nothing will be bigger. It would be the biggest reunion ever in history'.

"He just grinned and giggled a little bit. Everybody in his band came up to me and said, 'You're the greatest fucking drummer!. We tell Axl, 'You gotta get the band back together'!" That's what they said to HIM!"

The drummer also revealed that he has also been in contact with ex bandmate and Velvet Revolver guitarist Slash and ex-rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin, who has already made a number of guest appearances on Guns N Roses' recent tour.

He added: "I've been talking with Slash. I've been talking with Izzy. He wants a reunion."

Rose, who is currently fronting Guns N' Roses, is due to release the band's long-awaited new album 'Chinese Democracy' on March 6.

http://www.nme.com/news/guns-n-roses/26513

I don't want a reunion.

Let the current band release Chinese Democracy. Let VR release Libertad. May they both be great albums and bands.

If they reform it will all go to shit again, that's for sure.

This is the 2312321th thread about this, give it up!

Why now, when they really talked about it? (I mean axl and steven.)

I wan't a reunion.  ;) Like Steven said, nothing will be bigger!  :D

I love reading about these weird delusions Adler has about reuniting GNR and taking them back to the top. I think his conversation with Axl might have been a hallucination.

A reunion would not make sense right now, and Steven being on dope is not an option at all.
I prefer the new band right now. If you want some stereotype style of music you can listen to Contraband, that's how it would sound like. The album ain't bad but some songs really sound the same.

Stven talkin shit,reunion isn't posible

old one

http://blog.myspace.com/stevenadlersappetite

Steven Adler is a big big dreamer.The drugs.....

Steven has lost his mind.


Chinese Democracy and Libertad need to come out.


THEN HOWEVER


BRING ON THE REUNION!!!!!!!!!!!! : ok: : ok: : ok: : ok:

Wouldn't Axl prefer to bring Sorum in instead of Adler? Just from what I heard regards the apparent attempt at reforming for Download last year, where Axl effectively wanted the UYI line-up (Izzy over Gilby though)

I'd think Axl would bring in either Brain/Freese/Frank or somebody else. Steven is too fucked up and I'm not too sure about him wanting Matt back after his characterizations of him.

Hell fire, dont know whether to believe this or not, I get updates on GnR from Contactmusic.com, see below today's bulletin.

CLASSIC GUNS N' ROSES LINE-UP TO REFORM?


The original line-up of GUNS N' ROSES is to reform, according to original drummer STEVEN ADLER. Frontman AXL ROSE is the only original member of the band in its current incarnation, but Adler claims himself, SLASH, IZZY STRADLIN and DUFF MCKAGAN may all return soon. He says, "I saw Axl, talked with him from, s**t, what was it? Ten or 12 at night to eight in the morning, we talked. We resolved a lot of f**king s**t. "I said, 'You know the five of us have to get back together! That's when it will really f**king take off again! Nothing will be bigger. It would be the biggest reunion ever in history.' "He just grinned and giggled a little bit. Everybody in his band came up to me and said, 'You're the greatest f**king drummer! We tell Axl, 'You gotta get the band back together!' That's what they said to HIM! "I've been talking with SLASH. I've been talking with IZZY (STRADLIN). He wants a reunion."

So, what do you all make of that then!  Certainly took my mind off my hangover I can tell ya !!

Daff x

must be true if adler said............................................................................................... ....not!
why the fuck would the new guys tell axl to get the band back together......
im not bashing you for posting, but its a bit fucking crazy

theres also another thread for this
http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=35967.180

Just because they're the current GN'R doesn't mean they don't respect the fuck outta the original line-up. Who wouldn't want the old GN'R back together, anyway? Although I prefer the new line-up, one last show (that I attended) would be awesome.

gettin pretty pissed at seein another of these threads every day now. we're crying out for some official word or at least deletion of these threads i think.

they aparently have lots of live dates lined up for this year, but again none of that is official as such, as gnr have'nt rold us, just promoters, and i think we've seen them come unstuck before.

i never said they dont respect..............all the fucking hard work the new guys have put into the band over the years for them to be outdone by the original line up....get real. id love the reunion to happen, but we dont need rumour after rumour with the release date being so close
on a personal point of view i was speaking to steven adler back in feb last year at bradford rio's and hell do or say anything to get back on the GN'R train............nice guy and i love him to bits but right now hes a little messed up, some people will hate me for saying this but i feel its got to be said

What is this?! that is like 4-6 days old news and been posted already 34234 times! This will for sure be deleted very soon I would guess.

this is bullshit

the press have blatantly read adlers interview and jumped to conclusions, as usual

FFS............i just pointed out that theres another thread for this.......

Why in the world would the current members be telling Axl to get the band back together again?  Or is Adler just talking shit?

Adler isn't the most credible source ever. And it's possible the current members were just being nice and respectful and Steven took their words a little farther than they were meant to go. But it's possible they said it I guess.

I don't believe that part one bit. I'm sure much more of what Adler said happened was stretching the truth, to say the least.

well some people like Communist China, think that they were just being nice and respectfull to him witch is cool some others say that its bull shit like Efish ;) and that it won't happen.

then there are people like me (and i guess a small fraction of Communist China and Efish(and every one for that matter i think)) that say it will inevitably happen again one day in the future. but some think it some say it and some just think about thinking about it ,in my opinion.

and i as a believer that it will happen again someday i have to also say that Adler really isn't the most reliable, i hate to say it but to many drugs over the years :-X

but i'll always say Heres to a G'n'R reunion eventually :beer: :smoking:



:headbanger:

think what would happen if gn'r would do a reunion  :o back to the late 80's and early 90's!  :beer: Just a tour with the old lineup would be great! but reunion...  :peace: World conquered by gn'r once again!  : ok: :beer:

Of course it wouldn't be the same but it would still be awesome... There are so many fans that never got to see them before and it would be the biggest tour in decades..

Oh, hell yeah ! I definitely want to see this reunion !

Sorry kids, but Adler OWNS Brain & Ferrar.     :yes:



/bringbackadler

I just don't see how it makes any sense.  The current members get paid to be in GNR, why would they be like get the band back together again.  Then they would be out of a job, not that they couldnt find another one, but GNR is something completely different.  I think Adler is stretching out what he might have heard.

this meeting between Adler/Axl DID happen.

and if A reunion happened. They could do it with both adler/sorum

have the first half Illusions stuff with sorum, and then the 2nd half all of appetie with adler : ok:

NOwhere in here did adler say a reunion would happen. he just mentioned it to axl that it would be huge. and its true.

if the Original GNR did reunite, it would be BIGGER than the police. no more of this playing to 3000-5000 in arenas

being technically better doesnt give you more of a claim to be in a band

steven helped write the best selling debut album ever and you can never change that

as much as i love the current band, if the appetite/live @*!? like a suicide line-up wanted to reform the only people who are going to complain are the handful of dedicated people on sites like this

its up to the guys themselves to decide what theyre going to do and i doubt our oppinions are going to count for much

Why are people fascinated?

Cause GNR were the biggest band Ever to most of us and would give anything to see where this band could've went after the Illusions.

U listen to Estranged,NR, Coma, YCBM etc etc, Those songs are about as close to perfect as u can get. So to see how much further they could've evolved is insane.


I like the new band alot but Just imagining what Slash and the old members could do on songs like Madagascar, TWAT, The Blues, It is untelling just how much greater those songs could be.

U take Estranged and NR, Great songs on their own but Slash took them from good songs to all time legendary status.

Guitar work on the CD songs are good, but nothing i consider legendary.


The new band, I give them props but they just dont have the stage presence or chemistry of the original band.

I can watch those damn TOkyo DVDs and my Chicago 92 boot and my Ritz Boot over and over and over and over.

The new band, I cant make it through one concert.  dont ask me why but I cant.

Out of courtesy.

Oh and by the way, read how Adler describes Axl's reaction to all this: he 'grinned' and 'giggled'.  :rofl: That could only mean that Axl is trying to be polite to poor Adler but finds the thought totally absurd.  ::)

Adler wouldn't lie, it's not as if he's on drugs.......I'm sure he wouldn't have imagined it either  :hihi:

Maybe he grinned an giggled cos he's been thinking the same thing ?


/bringbackadler

Amen to that... I couldn't even sit through the whole show I went to in 2002...

I seriously doubt that Axl would ever take Adler back anyway. He knows Adler's not in the shape for touring. (And that's just one of the many reasons.)

He's not ?!?

I think Adler is more than capable of laying down some sweet ass drum tracks and touring .

Where do you guys keep getting that he isn't ??


/bringbackadler

I know this is just Steven Adler talking big.  But if you google Guns N Roses right now and look up recent news articles...there are about a dozen articles all posted today about Adler and Rose resolving their grievances and talking about a reunion.

I know this is a long shot (probably will only happen at the RNR hall of fame induction)...but thought I'd pass along the update.

Here's just a couple, all say the same stuff...

http://www.starpulse.com/news/index.php/2007/02/18/classic_guns_n_roses_member_reunion_rumo
http://www.nme.com/news/guns-n-roses/26513

Saw this on Blabbermouth.  Adler has big dreams... lol.  I'd actually feel better if the old GNR didn't reunite right now, because then we'd never get a new album!

I wonder what has better odds?  A new album or a reunion?

Not sure how many times we have to hear about this crap....

topic should be deleted or added to the 100 other gnr reunion threads in here...

ridiculous...

i dont recall that the original article about steve and axl talking in vegas was even verified by a reputable news source. anyone have a reputable link of the original quotes from steve about the conversation? if there was one it would have been posted by jarmo in the news section.

New album. ?Just because they are (kind of) on speaking terms again doesn't mean they will get back together. ?I saw a Slash interview in a Guitar Edge (or something like that) magazine, and he said that as time goes on, it's more unlikely of a GNR reunion to happen. ?He also said it was pretty unlikely to happen 5-6 years ago.

i'm sure adler has the least ampount of say as to whether a reunion would happen...anyway even if a reunion did happen, i'd bet on the lineup that is inside the UYI booklet. :peace:

Yes exactly! Thats why this article doesnt mean anything.



PS!
I love Steven but I just cant see that Slash and Duff would leave Matt behind so thats why I dont belive in this artice.

exactly : ok:

not now but maybe a GNR Reunion eventually ;)

:headbanger:

Not sure if its been posted yet but:

http://ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/guns_n_roses_reunion_possible.html

Posted a million fucking times, actually.  ::)

Steven had a band with Jizzy Pearl and co. They were touring and were working on an album. Steven had everything going with Adler's Appetite.

The band disbanded.

Steven had a band with Sheldon Tarsha and co. They were touring and were working on an album. Steven had everything going with Adler's Appetite.

The band disbanded.

Good point Sic,

Adler layed down some sweet drum tracks on Adler's Appetite ::)

I don't really care about his past, his future, or his personality..... he ripped me off with horrible music on that EP, horrible. 

Don't you just love how Press is able to manipulate things? Check this out:

God Bless the Internet............ and Drugs!   :beer:

Jonx

adler's messed up head completely missed the fact that axl was restraining himself not to laugh out loud

Maybe adler start with singing a solo preferably Ozzy's "Dreamer"  Ya know (I'm a dreamer, dreaming my life away)

lol, that's what he seems to have spent the past 13 years doing :rofl:

The "impending" reunion is obviously the reason why the album is not coming out on March 6th. :rofl:

Hahahaha!!!!! My God Adler is fucked!

Well after the reunion, the old band will have to re-record CD.  :hihi:

On the front of Yahoo! Music News today - could be interesting:

http://music.yahoo.com/read/news/40121743

my guess is they got it from that adler interview.

it is. the quotes are from the interview.... and it`s bullshit : ok:

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We'll see - I agree it's primarily based off Adler's interview, but I bet within the next couple of years the original line-up is back together.  Several will be using walkers to get around the stage, but they will be back together. 

i think that would truely rock !
now that's what im talkin bout !

Wow.


Adler's mouth really has legs.

god sake, i hate how adlers comments have been taken way out of proportion and hyped up through the media. A reunion is never going to happen (in the near future). This is exactly like when RS published the release date, and then from then unti the actual date, every media and news source regurgertated (sp?) it until even your grandma had heard about it...... and oh look it was false.

If you remember there are people actually IN GnR, who have made an album and toured, and hell some members have even been in GnR longer than a few of the original members.

IMO adlers comments have been taken way out of proportion and if there ever was a reunion, im sure that sorum would be considered as a more suitable drummer than adler, as when i saw him live a few years back, he wont be able to live up to GnR standard anymore ....

CJ

oh ok legs do some walkin an talkin too lol.

Hopefully Axl will release some sort of statement soon to let the public know it's not true.  And maybe a damn update on the album too. 

calling axl calling axl we need news  !
anyone got his text number text him now !
laughing '

When did the press start listening to Adler? ::)

So.  About that "yahoo reunion article" thread that just got deleted in the main Guns section.

At a minimum, I'd bet Axl and the boys will be far more reluctant to ever interact with Steven again.  Beyond that, I can only hope that such "news" articles don't further complicate or in any way delay the release of CD.

It's a shame that Adler's interview is being treated as "news" in any way, shape, or form.

Add to that the canceled shows and tours.

I don't know if everything is his fault, but when you see Axl get a bad reputation for canceling, then you start wondering how those same people feel about Adler's Appetite...



It's called "merging". It's when you put all the threads about this important news into one thread.




But congratulations to Steven. I don't think he has gotten this much press since 1990.... Unfortunately since it's all over the press now, it's obviously gonna fuck things up for others.

"Who are you? Why isn't Steven on drums? I thought there was a reunion!"




/jarmo

Hello, I'm the guy that had the conversation with Steven and transcribed it for the internet. I think you guys are blowing this thing out of proportion. Anybody who read it thoroughly knows that Steven isn't saying there is a pending reunion. It's not gonna "fuck up things" for anybody!

For one thing, the average rock fan and ticket buyer doesn't follow the band on the internet like you guys! Let's say there's 10,000 people who read this board who even know Brain is no longer in the band. GNR plays for that many people in a single show! GNR sold MILLIONS of records and concert tickets - do you really believe that the majority of these people even know that GNR's lineup has changed at all?

I've also read that Axl's personal assistant, Beta, has said that Axl NEVER had a problem with Steven. The fact that the two of them hung out and had a good time alludes to this as well. Axl is a cool guy, I don't believe he has the hatred for Steven you guys project into him.

It's cool to like what you like, I remember still supporting KISS between 1979 - 1982 when they're lineup changed and the old school fans turned their back on them. I understand where you are all coming from. I would like to see the hate and sarcasm come down a notch, it's just... unsettling.

Come on.

Haven't you noticed the headlines?


According to the headlines on a shitload of websites there's a possible reunion coming.....

You need to read the whole thing to get the idea, but how many general music listeners pay that much attention?


I don't blame you, it's the media that takes things out of context all the fucking time.


/jarmo

Thanks for the (what I hope was a) tongue-in-cheek vocabulary lesson.  I was simply trying to continue a response that I had started when the original thread got deleted/moved, not complain, criticize, or whine about the fact that it disappeared.

And I agree, or at least intended to imply the same.  The fact that Steven's interview is suddenly making the rounds is only going to complicate or hinder what the band is currently trying to accomplish.  Obviously, I hope that's not the case.

 :confused:

My friend just called me about this.

First I was checking the calendar if it was April 1st...

I don't know where they would get this. I can't believe they would make that recent Adler's supposed conversation with Axl to this news.

Weird... but I don't believe it. I guess they can announce rumours in MTV Finland. I don't know how MTV controls the separate national programs.

Dead Horse, anyone?

no more reunion threads please.

actually just delete this one

It wont happen... ;)

Again, the rumor-mill gets out of control.  USA Today has a link today about a possible reunion, again all based upon Adler's comments...

Ridiculous.

G N? R: Substitute Rock Reunion?

http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily

Hating life because the Van Halen dudes aren?t touring after all? Don?t slit your wrists just yet. You might have another nostalgic hair-metal reunion to lose your shit over (in a good way). According to reports, we may just have a Guns N?Roses confab to look forward to. Word is that original GN?R drummer Steven Adler had a long conversation with Axl recently and suggested getting the old crew back together. Axl didn?t explicitly agree ? according to Adler, he merely giggled and grinned ? but he also didn?t fly into a possessed rage. Adler also claims to have been in talks with Slash, Duff and Izzy, all of whom are allegedly ready to bury the guillotine ? er, hatchet with Rose.

?We resolved a lot of sh-t,? Adler revealed. ?I said, ?You know the five of us have to get back together! That?s when it will really take off again! Nothing will be bigger.?

We know what Adler stands to gain from the reunion, but what about the guys who proclaimed Axl was their sworn enemy and filed the paperwork to prove it? Perhaps things with their current fearsome leader Scott Weiland aren?t all wine and roses after all? Better the devil you know folks?better the devil you know.

-- Lauren Gitlin

Also mentioned and linked at USAToday.com today as well.  Ridiculous how these unfounded rumors keep popping up.  We can all talk about it more once this thread finds it's way to the "Ex-Gunners" section with the other Adler-interview threads...   :beer:

Yeah, this shit IS getting ridiculous! As a journalist, I understand these writers' intent, they have to turn shit in, but they are sensationalizing it and taking it out of context a bit much. I don't think it's cool that they're throwing Slash and Duff's name in with that of the particularly interested parties, I doubt they're in a place to even consider it. Axl, too, of course for that matter...

The original GN'R drummer - Steve Adler - has stated on his MySpace blog (http://blog.myspace.com/stevenadlersappetite) that the original GNR members will be getting back together and that Axl has agreed to it. It was well known to ALL GN'R fans that Axl was the one that fired Adler due to his excessive drug use. In an interview with MTV (http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1534896/20060622/index.jhtml?headlines=true) Slash has stated that "I have, in the foreseeable future, no re-involvement with that band whatsoever." Also Slash stated (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guns_N'_Roses#Legacy) on VH1's Behind The Music: "No matter how much money they throw in our faces, there's no reason for us to get together...unless there's a mutual respect or understanding...and we're way far from that." This right here is proof enough that Adler is still on drugs and that a reunion of the original 5 GN'R members will NEVER happen if it does it will be Axl, Slash, Izzy, Duff, and Matt.

how many topics do we need about this?
everyone knows adler has been living in this dream world for the past 17 years, and he switches between criticising axl and praising him, why does this guy even get attention anymore? he is too fucked up and dumb to even realize axl's grin was axl trying to restrain himself from laughing out loud at the guy.

Are you happy about it?

Another topic about this?  ::)

This is really a dead horse topic. ? ::)

Wasn't your ass banned? ::)

Whose ass?

what about the rest of her? ;D

there should be a new sticky and people who post about adler/reunion should be banned ::)


and i wouldn`t be too sure about a reunion with matt.... : ok:

sthrndixiecwgrl's... I distinctly remember her causing a lot of shit here a while ago, and I assumed she'd been banned because I hadn't seen her since.  She's also been banned from the VR forum for the same sort of thing, and if she signs up to the Tommy forum, she's getting banned before she's even given a chance.

STEVEN: You know how he is. He just grinned and giggled a little bit. Everybody in his band came up to me, "You're the greatest fucking drummer! We tell Axl, 'you gotta get the band back together'!" That's what they said to HIM! It was wonderful! Dude, let me call you back! I'm not ignoring you, dude! You're one of my top best friends, man! You've never done anything to hurt me! I'll call you right back!

Now you know he is on drugs still!

Yawn....
 ::)

What a freak.  Steve, everyone except you knows this.  You will never get back in GN'R.  If GN'R reunites Matt will be the one drumming. YOu blew it dude!  You are too fucked up!

Steven Adler is a joke, as far as im concerned, maybe he lay buried beneath the good work done by Matt Sorum once Adler left

Adler may be a joke but he got to play with  GnR which is more than any of us have done!!

 ;)

Good post mate, thanks.  Agreed.   : ok:

Right on mate  : ok:

C'mon ' Popcorn' !

You need to get the boys back together !!

 :beer:



*bba*

And you need some serious therapy. You can't be serious about that, right ?

Yes Nico, it's true !

I want the reunion bad.

No one can ever truly replace the original 5 ....

C'mon Steve-O, talk to Slash & Duff next !!!

It's only a matter of time.



*bba*

Sorry, but I really do not think the original boys will reunite.  I know they were the best and we all loved them but there wont be a reunion, VR are playing at Donnington this year also.

I'd love nothing more in music for them to get back but it aint gonna happen.

xx

Steve's working on it. Give him a little time.

The reunion will well be worth the wait.

                                        News Flash

   Steven " Popcron" Adler..Guns N' Roses original drummer( the first to leave/be fired)Reunites original line-up.Show June 28th,2007.

....just kidding ;D :hihi:

Wouldn't that be totally awesome though ?!?


*bba*

I would really enjoy that..I'm 14,be 15 in june(the 18th..I just added 10 days onto it for the date :hihi:)..I've loved Guns N' Roses since the day I first heard Paradise city on the radio when I was going to my friends house in grade 6.I got appetite on cassette for 5 fucking dollars cause I wanted it that bad..then greatest hits,then illusion 2,then I got lies and illusion 1 for christmas! ;D

and I loved all of it(minus my world :hihi:).I would love to be able to see them play but if they reunited I highly doubt they'd come back to the maritimes :hihi: so I wouldn't get to see it..but the bootlegs'd stil be pretty cool I guess.

first time I heard The Blues at my grandparents..loved it...the " okay nevermind" one..can't remember where its from at the moment...my family hated it but I still loved it? ?:)

I'm happy with the Guns N' Roses we got now..I'd rather see Adler join velvet Revolver..I've never liked matt's drumming.

? Civil war has the best drums out of every song on both Illusion cd's :peace:

Well Ganja4life,

For 14, you state your opinions pretty well I must say.

I can't say I agree w/ your wanting Adler in Revolver but, I respect your thoughts.

It's great to see a younger generation still having interest in the older material. As for me, if I remember correctly, I was in the 7th grade when the Illusions dropped. (YEP, GETTIN OLD).

Anyway, keep rocking out and do yourself a favor if you haven't already. Check out some of Stradlin and Adler's solo work. Kick ass stuff !!

I don't think you'll be disappointed.



*bba*

Love Izzy's solo stuff!!!! :D  Shuffle It All and Somebody Knockin are my two favorites of his..and I love that song the 2 of them did together.."Do You Love Me"...never heard any of adler's solo stuff though..and dont worry I'll keep rockin out :peace:

Yea I got some of Adlers solo stuff, spooky, I was listening to it the other night now you guys mention it!!

If Adler is working on a reunion good luck but isnt that just a rumour, I would be interested to hear VR and Adlers view on that,  rumours fly round so quick you just dont know what to believe.

A reunion would be great but I still cant see it, but prove me wrong yet and Ill take my hat of to ya.

Have a good weekend folks and take care xx

Ah shit meant to say in that, sorry, I have yet to listen to some more of Izzy'a solo stuff also.

xx

I'm doing a search for some of adler's stuff on lime wire right now :peace: hope I find something..


Edit:nope nothing :-\

I hope you can find it too.

Adler's solo work is really cool.

He makes Brain & Ferrar look like amateurs.

You should check out his website and order the EP.? (STEVENADLER.NET)



*bba*

didnt work ???

Try this one.

That site was given out. Neither the forum or the site are online anymore.

To order the EP of adler's appetite must go to www.adlersappetite.com.

This link still works.   :smoking:



*bba*

 :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:



that AOL members page is his official website?   :rofl:

Don't worry about it Jimbob. You're not a fan of his.     :rant:

You just keep worrying about Primus's drummer and NIN's guitarist !? ?

I'll keep worrying about GN'R !!? ?:rofl:



*bba*

You should worry about your future as a poster here.   : ok:



/jarmo

It's like dejavu all over again....

Your buddy comes to an Adler thread talking shit.... and here you are right away defending him.   ::)

If I were in the New Guns section posting smileys everywhere being a smart ass.... you would not hesitate to give me MORE negative karma and you sure as hell wouldn't come to my defense.

Love the fairness, Jarmo......



*bba*

Give him a break, I'm usually not a big fan of BBA's posts but he was doing nothing wrong in this thread, he just stated his opinion in the appropriate section, don't see any harm in that...

Sure I'm a fan of Steven Adler.  I don't need to prove that to you or to anyone else.  That doesn't mean I think he makes Frank and Brain look like "amateurs" and that he should go back to GNR.   And that doesn't mean his "official website" isn't kinda funny to look at.

And I dont give a fuck about Aaron North.

the only way he can talk Steven up and make him look good is by dissing the guys in the band now.    I mean seriously.. Popcorn was a great drummer in his day, but anyone who says he makes Brain look like an amateur is smoking something I'd sure as hell like to get a hold of.

oh make no mistake I sure don't view Brain/Frank as amateurs they are very talented drummers but anyone who says steven can't drum anymore is smoking something I'd sure as hell like to get a hold of....

and no one is saying he's not a good drummer now..  but what does it have to do with Frank, or Brain, or anybody else?

Exactly JB.

This thread has nothing to do w/ Frank or Brain.? ? : ok:



*bba*

The link for the forum doesn't work
THe link for the official fansite doesn't work

---

How old are the questions to Steven?

you have to be one of the biggest trolls i've ever seen.    you are the one who brought them up in the first place!  :confused:

I didn't make that connection bba did...



Wtf? could you please make any less sence? :nervous:

a little bit OT but imo the most amazing thing about adler is...that he's still alive

_black humour_

i even wouldn't be very surprised that slash will die sonner of lung cancer than adler because of all that shit he's been and it seems, is still using...

which was unimaginable about fifteen years ago (OMG! 15 years and adler is still here  :o )

Why is that so hard to believe ?

Adler's past is just that, his past.

The same evils no longer plague him. Popcorn is back and ready to rock out in 2007 !!

Maybe that's what it's gunna take to make some of you guys realize.

C'mon Popcorn, the world's ready !!



*bba*

"gettin the band back together"


bout F'n time!

are  you really sure? :smoking:

Have you ever heard Adler speak? He's as sharp as a bowling ball.  I bet the new members did tell Axl to get the original members back together in front of Steve, but he was too dim to catch onto their sarcasm.

How about he's dissing the band?

FYI: He mentioned his dream of Steven joining GN'R in a thread about Brain and Frank in the GN'R section, so he's a troll.

I was being friendly. He's very close to getting fucking banned for his own stupidity and Steven Adler trolling.

If he thinks his act is funny, the joke's on him.




/jarmo

Who knows if he?s back on drugs, i don?t know..Don?t think so, and sure it?s great that him and Axl talked and sorted things out, but i must say that alot of things in that interview is bullshit.

But still, there is alot of copies...but only ONE original  : ok:

#1) Who the fuck is dissing the band ? Just b-cos I'm not as partial to Frank or Brain as I am to some other past drummers doesn't mean I'm dissing them.? I'm entitled to my own opinion.? : ok:

#2) You say I mentioned my dreams of Adler reuniting w/ the band in the Frain & Brain thread........ Show me where?? All I said is that "my hopes lie w/ someone else". That's hardly me trolling on and on about Adler in an off topic thread !!? ?: ok:

#3) So, you are threatening to ban me again ?!?? ? :no:? Like I've said b4, the only reason you keep singling me out on this board is b-cos I don't worship everything that you say or do. If you feel that the "current incarnation" of GNR is better and that's what YOU want to see be around for years to come, that's YOUR opinion. Quit trying to force feed it to us who don't see things the same way.

I guess if your definition of "trolling" is me disagreeing w/ you, then yeah, I guess you are right. Others are starting to notice me being singled out while in the appropriate threads.? Take a look at where all my Adler posts have been lately.........in Adler threads........? :smoking:

Btw, I'm not trying to be funny or put on an act ?!?? ?:no:

So, you lost me there........


*bba*

The only reason you're singled out is because you keep mentioning your hero Steven Adler in every other thread. At one point you even claimed he's a current member of the band.




/jarmo

There you go again making up shit about me.

I believe this "claim" of mine that you are referring to has to do with the "two drummer theory" discussion that was going on awhile back.

People were questioning how logical it is to have "two drummers" in the band. And others were hinting Brain is likely gone because Frank's "presence has been added to the album".

I simply asked if by Brain being gone, that could indicate a possible return by Adler ? I mean, it's being reported that he and Axl have spoken recently and they have "cleared up alot of shit." It's not impossible.

I never said that Adler WAS back in the band. That was your interpretation of what I wrote.

As for me "trolling" or "trying to get attention", the only reason so much attention is even being drawn to me is because YOU make a point of commenting after everything I write. You continuously twist my words and threaten to ban me every other day for not agreeing w/ some of your thoughts, not to mention the whole "he's a troll"..."he's a troll" spill.

I don't understand why we can't both be fans of GN'R ?

You have a particular lineup that you prefer.... and I got mine.

At the end of the day, we're both still GN'R FANS........     : ok:

Right ?


*bba*

There's your quote. You wanted to talk about Steven in the GN'R section since you think he's more of a current than a former band member.


/jarmo

You've got to be fucking kidding me.

If I would have known that this inquiry of mine would have caused you to have thrown such a fucking tantrum, I WOULD NOT have wrote it !!

There...are you happy ?!? I wish I wouldn't have wrote it....FUCKING C'MON !

As much as you think that I said this to gain attention, I ASSURE YOU... I did not ! I still DO NOT see how this is so impossible to you anyway ?!

But whatever, you will always think as you do and so will I.

I have 3 negative karmas now, and all 3 have come from you ! I see people left and right getting karma points from the mods but I have never even received warning from them yet. Why is that ? You say you are not targeting me, but lately I've been getting shit from you on an almost  daily basis.

You keep calling me a troll and saying that I'm just looking for attention. Who's drawing attention to who here ? Everyday you tell someone that I said that "Steven Adler is back in the band." Look at my statement again....where does it say that? I simply suggested what the possibility of something like this could be ? Has Steven Adler personally done anything to you ? Is that why you are so pissed over this suggestion of mine ?!? I just honestly don't see why my suggestion was so inappropriate to you ?

In the beginning you would bitch at me for posting shit about GN'R in the "New GNR" area. After I figured out how the w-site works, I started hanging out in "DEAD HORSE" and "EX-GUNNER" THREADS but soonafter you followed me there and started bitching about me talkin about Steven Adler in an "Adler thread."

I joined this website vice others cos I thought it was a real badass site, w/ tons of info. But, I will not continue coming here if that means you being a dick to me on a daily basis. I can't help that I hope the "old school" Guns reunite someday. I'm forever old school, but that doesn't mean that I don't look forward to Chinese Democracy, because I do. I saw the new GNR live last year and it was awesome, I plan to do the same this year, if possible.

I'd appreciate if you would just let go of this grudge that you have with me.  I assure you I am not trolling and I am not looking for your attention. Believe me, it would be nice to be able to log back into a thread of mine w/out your name appearing right after mine correcting me or taunting me in some way.

I hope we can let this "dead horse" go Jarmo....

You got another unjustified karma point from me. I hope it made you feel better.    :no:



*bba*

Whatever you say.


The facts are there. Others have read your posts.... For example, you refer to the original line up as the "real band". Obviously you're not as open minded and innocent as you claim.  ::)

There's a few others here who do similar things you with a certain band member. Mentioning his name in every other possible thread.

Yeah, I'm sorry if I don't feel like we need that kind of fans here. I'm sorry if I feel like our board is better off without people who keep trying to make "funny" jokes in every thread because it's their act.



Grudge?

What grudge? You're just another one of those people who come to a fan site to post shit about how some former member should be in the band and how the current band isn't the "real band".





/jarmo

Loud & Clear Jarmo.

Your house, your "extreme" rules....

I'll try thinking things through a lil harder b4 I make my posts from now on.

I'd like my karma count returned to -3 please. Adz knows why.    :-\



*bba*

Yeah.. that's probably not going to happen.

Adler's hurt.    :'(



*bba*

well give it a rest you two, it?s either that or no TV for 2 days !  :rant:



Adler maybe made some shit up, or got missquoted for some reason on that article

Adler is / was a great drummer

Adler is not the drummer he once was

Adler smokes pot once a while, BIG deal, so do i, and i wouldn?t be surprised if Axl or Izzy does it to, sometimes..

Frank Ferrer and Brain are both great drummers, and they play in Guns N Roses ( I dunno if Brain?s still in )

And what are people talking about..Reunion..It?s not a reunion..You can?t reunite a band who?s not dead !

Hey you guys dont lose sleep over karmas or lack of em, who cares, it's only a forum, but hey thanks I enjoyed reading that, I just chipped on to my last unready replies or something, it was better than the tv thanks ha ha.  (no offence meant)

Lol.

Adler_Sorum_Brain, you got good points there mate.

Take care n keep rocking you lot xx  :)

"We tell Axl, 'you gotta get the band back together'!"

Yeah, right....

I'm sorry to just mention that, but what more is there to say about the interview?

I REALLY doubt that Robin, Tommy or whatever would go up to Axl now and then and say "Axl, you know, you should get the original band back together, that would rock!"

Steven can stay in his little dreamworld, if that's what he enjoy, hey, I ain't gonna stop him.

By the way, did he kick Axl in the nuts, and then kiss him? He said he would if he met him again.

And don't get this the wrong way, I am in no way bashing Steven, even if it may sound so, but this sounds like complete crap.

Edit: Just read the whole thread again, and I saw various interviews, all about the same, but some did not include the "we tell Axl" part, so don't get angry if I was wrong.

I also want to add, what jarmo pointed out, some pages back, it would NOT be the same if Slash and co. got back together, it would just be another boring, half-assed, reunion tour.
