Here Today... Gone To Hell!

ADLER'S APPETITE To Embark On First Full U.S. Tour - Jan. 9, 2009

ADLER'S APPETITE, the band led by Steven Adler, legendary drummer of GUNS N ROSES and star of the hit VH1 series "Celebrity Rehab", will embark on a full U.S. tour first time ever this spring. The group will perform the iconic GN'R album "Appetite For Destruction" in its entirety along with other classics and some surprises.

The trek is scheduled to kick off late February and run through early April.

ADLER'S APPETITE's current lineup is rounded out by singer Sheldon Tarsha, Alex Grossi (HOOKERS 'N' BLOW, ex-QUIET RIOT) on guitar, Michael Thomas (FASTER PUSSYCAT) on guitar, and Chip Z'nuff (ENUFF Z'NUFF) on bass.

ADLER'S APPETITE commemorated the 20th anniversary of GNR's classic debut "Appetite for Destruction" in 2007 by touring South America. However, Adler was forced to cancel a European tour with the band due to "personal issues."

A court commissioner in Los Angeles agreed last month to place Adler in a state-sanctioned drug rehabilitation program and keep the drummer out of prison.

Adler's court appearance came a day after TV audiences watched him graduate from a drug-treatment program that is the focus of VH1's show "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew".

Adler was arrested in Los Angeles on July 18, 2008 after someone called police to report he was causing a disturbance.

If they came to Chattanooga, I'd check it out. why not?

is this an official logo?

(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3012/3052083037_916839f77a_o.jpg)

if it is, thats really sad. 

wonder if slash and duff are going to sue him now.

D, Chattanooga sounds like a great place for the Steven Adler band.  Hope you get to see them.

This has been the logo and name for the past 6/7 years... why are you complaining about it now?

He's just bringing it up as an excuse to slag off ex-members again, seeing as he has so little to contribute in discussion about the current band. :hihi:

I have plenty to say about GnR.. you must not be looking in the GnR section.

I'm not complaining, I'm just saying that the man's obsession with AFD has been his biggest downfall over the last 20 years.    Can't I have an opinion on Steven's official logo?  I don't recall seeing it before.

I think he has a point. Steven seems to be hanging on every thread of AFD and his time in Guns. Not only does his logo bear a strong resemblance to Guns N' Roses but his band name does also. Steven was also trying to create a supergroup of sorts called Guns of Destruction. At first it didn't bother me, but now it seems Steven is trying to incorporate his past success with Guns in everything he does.

Adler's Appetite is a very cool name in mine opinion. Stop bullshitting around about nonsense items and love that the man is playing the album of the old school GN'R the way how it was played 20 years ago.
I'm very happy Steven will be touring again, I'll hope he will have good people around him who keep him from the drugs and that they will bring out a kick ass cd. Just as the New GN'R, and all the others.

Didn't they do a decent EP or something a few years back or......................... I can't remember, i thought they did something.

Steven could've been doing a lot all these years. He could've joined a new band or did something.

I can't fault him for making a living off something he had a hand in creating. If parasitic tribute bands go around doing this shit, certainly Steven has a right to do so.

This is one time I have to agree with Jim Bob. That logo is pretty sad and a rip off... Poor guy, I wish him the best though... Hopefully he can get clean eventually...

i think the tour is a bad idea.

back into his routine of tour drugs rehab tour.

"I you do this tour i'm fairly certain you will die"-Dr.Drew

i may be paraphrasing..

hope he gets his shit together and stays clean :(

The thing with Steven is, if he hasn't died yet.......... u know, i dont think going on tour will kill him. sitting at the house with nothing to do will kill him faster.

I would agree with that. 

I think, given the trailer for Sober House, you Adler Lovers will see what he is really like - loaded - he's mean, hurtful and violent and will do whatever he wants and/or needs to do to get his drugs, barring nothing. 

I had hoped that somehow they would get through to him that he needs to stay off the road, his most dangerous place - his fans will slip him stuff ALL the time and he is unable to stop himself from using.  It sucks to be him and anyone that is close to or loves him. 

Hookers N Blow tour playing 95% Appetite and they had no part in creating it, so there is no difference really unless you plan on criticizing Dizzy too. I have no problem with either.

Yeah, who cares really...except that Steven has done so to try and stay ready for his comeback with GnR.  :no:

A video blog from Steven Adler and his band rehearsing for their Saturday show at the Key Club has been posted online...

Check out Steven Adler and Adler's Appetite rehearsal for Jan, 17 show at the Key Club, on Sunset

I know a lot of people will not want to admit it, but that kicked fucking ass!

hardly any playing on there to judge either way.

i maintain it's a bad idea for him to be on the road, everytime he goes out he ends up in a bad way. there are far to many enablers out there when he tours.

My Michelle, full from Jan 14th 2009

I think it is awesome! sound quality is ok,a little distorted.

adler sounds good grossi guitar tone is horrid, though i'd be willing to put that down to the quality of the recording.

yeah, I mean it isn't bad. I'd go see it if the tix were cheap and I didn't have anything to do and it was very very within an hour of where I live.

Better than the GNR tribute bands in my opinion.

i've had tickets to see him before, once he was kicked off the tour for undisclosed reasons, the second time he no showed. the second time was right before he left his band stranded in mainland europe

thats about all it is..  a tribute band.    kinda wish Steven would do something different.

I would love to admit that, but I can't since it aint true ;)

They made some pretty decent original material, albeit a small sample. I would like to see them focus more on that than covering other bands songs.

where can i hear the original material?

I think on their myspace.

That sounded good...

Steven looks pretty 'fat', guess that's a good sign

ADLER'S APPETITE: Photos Of Key Club Concert Available - Jan. 19, 2009

Dude is a lot more Sebastian than Axl but its better than the tribute bands I've heard.

I REALLY LIKE STEVEN, I HOPE THE BEST FOR HIM   :peace:

Just ran through the old dotf from live aid.

I don't know, but to me the drums sounds fuckin' wild.

What a waste...

1 original member from the "classic" line-up.....just like Axl and his hired guns today  :peace:

One big difference, drums sound like drums (ie: you could reasonably copy Steven if that was your intent), guitars sound like guitars...only Axl sounds like Axl...he is an instrument that cannot be replaced/replicated.   : ok:

Steven should/will do whatever makes him happy, or whatever he has to do to make $$$, but IMO it is unhealthy for him to continue the AFD worship that has held him in his 'rut'.

guitars sound like guitars?

thats complete bullshit. with any great guitarist you listen to a piece of music they play no matter what gear they use and you know it's them.

It is absolutely possible to mimic someones 'sound' on a guitar, since it is an instrument...anyone with the talent and patience to do so, would probably develop their own style, but it is completely possible.  I didn't want to add the same comment as I used to explain the drums - but it was intended to apply equally to guitars.   My point was that to question the legitimacy of GnR's current lineup by comparing it to Adlers Appetite, is IMO an illegitimate comparison.  : ok:

from the point i've mentioned its the same: 1 original member of the classic line-up playing GN'R songs, like it or not  : ok:

..with painfully mediocre musicians in front of a few barflys at a local dive.

The difference is Axl wrote a good bit of the music, Adler not so much....

except one is Guns N' Roses, the other is not

my point was and still is about the classic line-up:
and goin strictly with this you'll get the voice of AFD GN'R with Axl's line-up (whoever is in), you'll get the dums of AFD GN'R with Adler (whoever is in).

No... you go see Guns N' Roses, you get a Guns N' Roses show.   You go see Steven, you see a GnR coverband with him on drums playing AFD. 

Its got nothing to do with AFD, that was 20+ years ago.

you still fail to see that my point of view that was only about the "classic line-up" (Slash, Axl, Izzy, Duff, Steven) in this case:

Steven + additional musicians (call it cover-band or not) playing AFD songs + more
Axl + additional musicians (call it cover-band or not) playing AFD songs + more

and there is no way anyone can twist this!
from other perspectives it is different off course but that wasnt my point.

Adler sucks.  He didn't contribute shit to GN'R. He didn't write anything and anyone could have played drums on Appetite.  The record company tried to get rid of him before Appetite cause he sucked.  He needs to concentrate on being sober not on touring. 

Ridiculous post of the year

U obviously have no idea how big of a role drums play in the sound of a band. The Appetite sound hasn't been duplicated since and Steven is a big part of that.

His drumming has hooks, and his parts just give GNR a groove they haven't had since.

Steven does have a really distinct groove, but I think Frank and Brain are probably superior.

Really can't see Steven doing a mean TWAT or Riad'.

Thank God


Dude, the drums are pretty bland on CD and there is absolute NO memorable beats.


Appetite u got

Jungle, memorable
PC nothing has to be said
Brownstone
Rocket Queen


I think sometimes u guys forget just how amazing Adler is on Appetite.

I personally think he is right up there with Tommy Lee and guys like that who just have that uniqueness that most drummers don't have.

Most drummers are the same pretty much, its rare to find drummers who really stand out and make u recognize what they do.


Im not a big drum guy. Tommy Lee and Lars  are  the only ones  I really give a shit about drum wise and when I buy a Metallica/Motley CD, I really pay attention to the drums.

Adler does that for me on Appetite. His drum parts are HOOKS, they are actually melodic and they are drums for fuck's sake.

I don't hear any real groove or memorable beats on CD. it all is pretty basic, session musician drumming to me. it definitely doesn't kick u in the teeth or make u want to air drum.

Thank God you  :love: Chinese Democracy and the band.




/jarmo

There it is again Jarmo, Exactly what YG and some of us were talking about

Because I like Adler's drumming better, all of a sudden I don't like the album or new band.





The album is good and I am one of the biggest Axl fans on the planet. It is no secret that I am not a huge fan of the other members yet, mainly cause I don't know them well and  They do too much shit outside of GNR for my taste. Tommy seems cool, Chris did some really great work and I liked Bucket.

The drums and Bass are damn near non existant on this CD.

I guess the little drum fill before the vocal starts in Catcher is the greatest most mind blowing drumming ever.


most of it sounds like a drum machine from Fruity Loops or Garage Band or Reason or whatever other drum programs are out there.


The UYI drumming and the CD drumming can't touch Adler's work on Appetite. If that hurts people's feelings, Im not gonna apologize for it. Doesn't mean CD's drumming sucks per se but Adler does some other level great shit on Appetite that can't be matched by many other albums  let a lone drummers.


So I don't see why that is such a slap in the face.....

No, saying shit about the album just to prove your point is different.

Why do you have this need to put Brain and Frank down to make Steven a better drummer? He can't stand on his own?



The funny thing is that if I had said anything negative about Steven Adler's drumming (which isn't my opinion, just an example), I would be labeled "an old band hater".

Apparently I hate the old band but nobody can show me where I've said anything bad about their playing or contributions to the band's history.

Yet when you bash the current musicians in the band, it's all fine.

Don't you think that's a bit hypocritical?




Maybe you need to spend a little more time listening to the album before completely disrespecting the drummers and their playing.


/jarmo

As was said, Adler's myspace has 5-6 original songs you can listen to in their entirety.  Some are pretty good, I really like "Cindy".  They also released an EP on CD in 2005 but I don't know if that's still available.



Actually, Axls Main Man is the one who brought the new band into this by stating that the new drummers are superior to Steven (and in a thread unrelated to the new drummers, I might add).   D was only responding to that.  I guess you kinda missed AMM's post, huh?

He didn't go out of his way to prove how worthless Steven Adler is.

He said he likes Steven's drumming but prefers others.






/jarmo

Im not trying to make those drummers worthless, I just think the drums are so low in the mix, that nothing really stands out.

I've listened to each song hundreds of times and I couldn't hum u one drum part from the entire album


Appetite on the other hand, I can do the table drum thing on all of Adler's stuff.


What I hate about it is, Just because Steven is a fuck up and looked at as an 80's guy, the fact Axl doesn't like him, people like to take shots at him and act like he somehow was just "lucky" to be in GNR, like he has no talent whatsoever.

His drum beats help make so many of those songs.

Hell, even Izzy and other old members have stated how GNR wasn't the same after he got fired.


The drumming on CD sounds like the basic/standard drumming you hear on any other CD u can put in . doesn't suck but it isn't anything to write home about.

and yes, CD doesn't really groove. It is pretty mechanical and just meticulously planned. It doesn't have that spontaneous energetic feel to it. U can tell the drums and bass were recorded at various times cause they don't have that deep locked in pocket feel.


listen to Adler/Duff, or Flea/Chad Smith and u will see what I am talking about with groove and being in the pocket.

Maybe I'm a little late to the party but when did Axl ever say he didn't like Steven?  I've never heard that before.  I thought he respected him and wished him the best in his recovery.  I could be wrong I guess.  And from what I recall it wasn't Axl alone that got Steven ousted from the band, all parties were in agreement.  You're making it sound like Axl hated Steven, therefore had him fired from the band, and hasn't looked back ever since.

Axl was definitely not alone in firing Steven.  Slash and Duff had equal roles as Axl's.

Slash suggested in his book that Axl didn't like Steven just because Steven had an in-your-face blunt approach to some of Axl's antics.  Slash also said that he didn't think Axl truly ever appreciated Steven's contributions to Guns N Roses.  But Slash also acknowledged that he didn't know for sure, he was just speculating.

In the Axl Q&A section in the main section, Axl was asked about Steven, and his answer was... I do wish Steven the best and in my heart hope he finds peace and security.

I would say that Axl feels the same way about Steven that he does about Slash.  He loves 'em both but feels they cannot coexist in a band or in life because of their differences.

Steven was at one of the GN'R after show parties in Las Vegas in 2006.

Slash wasn't.


/jarmo

If you're implying that Axl would allow Steven to show up and not Slash -- I'm still not clear on how that all went down.  Did Axl know in advance that Steven was going to be there?  Was he permissive about Steven's presence?

Besides, I don't see how your reply really contradicts what I said.  At the 2006 Korn party Axl attended, he was asked about Slash and responded by said he "l love the guy" (present tense) and "had wanted the world to know great he was" (that was more past tense).

So again, I think Axl wishes Slash the best even if he doesn't want to work or deal with him.  Same with Steven and Duff.

But obviously he dealt with Steven since he was at the party.


I'm not saying he'll be back in GN'R, I just think the Steven situation is a bit different than the Slash one.





/jarmo

Yeah, but that was a one-time occurrence where they just happened to meet and talk for awhile.  More or less happenstance, not like they orchestrated a big, serious meeting in advance.

I'm willing to bet that if Axl and Slash ran into each other, they wouldn't walk by and completely ignore each other.  Too much history to do that.  Just like with Steven.



Maybe so, but I was more or less referring to the big picture.  Overall I think Axl's feeling are the same towards both.  Wish 'em well, but not want to deal with them regularly.

I think Steven was invited to the party.

So while it wasn't anything planned months in advance, it still happened.


It wasn't them walking into each other either......




/jarmo

Well, that's still the big question.  I was thinking that since he lives in Las Vegas, he had connections with the venue and managed to get inside for the party (or maybe someone from there invited him).  Not necessarily something that Axl necessarily planned or allowed.  I'd still like to know everything went down that night, but even Steven hasn't discussed it much.

Agree...Steven has something that I cant get from just some other drummer....I like Brain a lot, they have different styles, but if I have to choose I'll go for Adler, thats my opinion. :peace:

People on GNR forums have always seemed to be anti Adler

they treat the guy like he has no clue how to play drums.

I get pissed when people forget that adler wrote and played drums on one of the greatest rock CD's ever made.

none of the other people that are mentioned can hold a candle to that resume. I dont give a shit about Josh Freese and how "technical" he can play

Fuck that.

Steven has a way of making u feel his drums and what he is playing.

once again, I don't care if u can double bass at 160bpm and play 22 tom rolls in 5 seconds

Steven's drumming has been overshadowed by his problems. 

Just give the man some credit.

For anyone to come on here and act like someone is "Crazy, or stupid" for saying Adler is the greatest GNR drummer ever, for me that is an insult to the guy and just ridiculous.

Hammer fisted douche Sorum can't come close and the new guys are great players, but no drum parts come close to Adler's on Appetite.

Long Island, NY date announced. Friday The 13th of March.
http://www.clubloaded.com/images/PASSES/AdlersAppetite.jpg

They're doing full AFD.
I think it would be cool if they did Reckless, Shadow, and Move To The City too, since those are all Guns songs he played on the recordings for.
Same goes for Civil War (which he did on previous tours).

I just don't see how the drums on CD are bland.

On the opening track, you have a killer punk rock-style drum beat, on Shackler's the drum beat changes at least a dozen times, as does the structure of the song, on Better you have some really nice and tight percussion work (really see Brain's love for Stewart Copeland on this one). The drums on Street of Dreams don't stick out to me quite as much as the other songs, but I still enjoy them, especially during Robin's solo and the outro of the song.  On If The World, you have a killer reggae beat that really adds to the 60's/70's vibe of the song and makes you feel that you're at some Jazz club watching Barry White, or laying on a beach when Bucket's solo hits.

Then you've also go the all-out craziness of the TWAT drum parts that sound like something out of a Tool album, Catcher' has some awesome drum work that really solidifies the 60's/Beatles-esque vibe of the song, really dig the drums on Scraped, they flow with the killer riff of the song quite nicely, especially during Bucket's solo.

I can't remember if it's just Brain on Riad', but whoever it is, the drum work is top knotch stuff, imagine it's quite a work out playing that one. On Sorry, the drums are more stripped down but they're pretty damn cool just the same, especially during the outro, I.R.S. has some of the best drum fills on the album, they really add to the overall sense of urgency to song.

Not too much drum work on Madagascar or This I Love, but what there is works very well with the song, and finally, the drums on Prostitute are just incredible, especially when they kick in at the "Why would they tell me to please them.." part. During the verses too though, they flow perfectly with Axl's heart-felt verses and help to make the song the gem it is.

well AMM, I'm not saying it is bad, but people just have this thing, where everyone is IMMEDIATELY better than Adler.

Its like no matter who it is or what they play, people just automatically say that without really even thinking about it.

Its like, just because this guy is in GNR, he immediately is the greatest at whatever instrument he plays in the world.

I simply don't agree. Brain and Frank are great drummers but to act like they are the NY Yankees and Adler is some high school team is just not fair and not true.

I don't look at Steven now, or what he has done the last 20 years, I don't let that cloud what he did on Appetite.

no body on here can honestly listen to that album and tel me the drumming isnt off the charts and great.

with CD, when I listen to it, I just don't really notice the drumming, there are some nice kick drum parts etc, but u can't point to one song and say "WOW" the drums really carry that, or WOW the drums are an awesome part in that song.

The drums on CD do what most drums do, they keep the beat and provide a foundation.

U listen to the breakdown  part on WTTJ with Adler on the bongos or whatever the hell he is playing, PC is all drums, Rocket Queen is all drums, Mr Brownstone....  those drums are just some of the best.

Nice conspiracy theory.

I don't think a former band member would get invited to a Guns N' Roses after show party in Las Vegas without anybody knowing about it.



/jarmo

I think axl was reaching out to him being nice and Steven took it the wrong way. I remember on the online chats how Axl said he wishes the best for Steven but Steven thinks he holds the keys to his happiness or whatever..... etc etc I can't remember the entire thing right off, but basically Axl hanging with Steven only raises adler's hopes and that isn't a good/healthy thing.

It is great Axl reaches out to some of the old members. I would love down the road for them to at least be able to be cordial and friendly. They don't have to reunite but it would be cool to accept a hall of fame award together seeing as that would just be an honor from the past and it can be kept entirely separate from the present.

Conspiracy theory?   :rofl:

Is it that difficult to believe that Steven simply knew someone at the venue since he lives in Las Vegas?  It certainly isn't hard for me to believe that Axl didn't invite him.  But we don't know for sure what happened since neither Axl nor Steven has said much about it.



How did Steven take it the wrong way?  In what way did he take it?



I think what Axl meant was that because Steven's biggest wish is for a GNR reunion, Axl feels Steven is placing too many eggs in his basket.  Steven himself said on the GNR A&E biography that he wants a reunion but "will leave that up to Axl".  So I agree, Steven is placing too much emphasis on Axl's decisions in terms of his happiness.  And I do think that if Axl regularly associated with Steven, Steven's hopes would be raised a bit too high.  But I don't think Steven necessarily misinterpreted things just from meeting with Axl once.  Steven only said "we cleared a lot of shit up" when he spoke about their meeting, and that was all.

I think Cindy was by Vain when Adler was playing with them

D, are you deaf? Or just musically ignorant? What has gotten into you man? Is this all brainfarts just to boost you postnumbers, totally lacking ANYTHING sensible to say?

I agree about Steven being pretty fuckin superior on AFD, but how can you state that the drumming is "pretty bland on CD and there is absolute NO memorable beats"?

In my eys you start looking more and more like a fool. Not saying you are one, just saying, wondering...

There are plenty of musicians here, which you're obviouselly not, and I swear they can vouch for what I'm saying concerning your hearing.

And yeah, there's basically no bass either.  ???

How about the total lack of vocals?  ;D

as I sent u in a PM, U can act like your opinion is superior to someone elses all u want, but to insult me is just really moronic and ridiculous.

Like I said to anybody on here that wants to try and talk shit

U post an original song where u play every instrument and write every note and lyric

I will do the same and I guarantee u will take back any insult u want to sling my way.

He's going back to rehab.

With a tour starting in two weeks, I wouldn't be surprised if it's postponed.



/jarmo

again to rehab?!?!  :no:   Steven needs Jesus. :yes:

For what ??? To day his landscaping , lawn mowing.???

hahaha! funny guy!  :rofl:...................NOT!  :drool:
I mean JesusChrist.

I think the fact Steven is still alive is quite amazing.


was listening to Appetite today and his drums on Nightrain, Brownstone, Paradise City, Rocket Queen are really awesome and I still don't think they get enough credit for what they did for the style of the album.

That's a good decision. It's time for healing.

If he is going to get through, he needs to be supported as much as possible.

What does me posting an original song where i play all the instruments have to do with anything?

No one is taking anything away from steven, that he managed perfectly on his own. I'm just sick of you slamming the new band and their effort every fuckin' time you have a chance.

You're acting like you're some kind of professional musician is really funny. Hearing your guitars on your myspace songs is like listening to some one scraping their nails along the black board. Same goes for everything else in the song.

How can you claim you're the best guitarist in your city? What a crock of fuckin' pure bull shit.

You've just gone so far over board D it's not funny and I'm call you on it.

seeing them March 10th in Allentown, PA.

anyone else going?

I might be going.

hopefully he doesnt check back into rehab within the next month...

Some photos (24) of Adler's Appetite from their Las Vegas performance last Saturday have been added at Steven's MySpace page...

Steven Adler And Chip Z'Nuff Visit. 03/10/09. 8:20am

SPEAKING OF ADDICTION...STEVEN ADLER

Steven Adler and his friend, Chip Z?nuff, stopped by to discuss the current season of VH1's "Sober House" and told the crew he was off heroin and was doing great. Howard asked if it was hard to be kicked out of Guns N' Roses, so Steven said Axl Rose was wrong: "And Slash was wrong for not sticking up for me." Steven bragged that he later sued the band after being kicked out - and lost most of the money to his addictions.

I listened to it and it was sad in a way.  Don't get me wrong, it sounds like he's doing real well and is real happy, so I guess that's all that matters.  He just seems like such a nice guy, it's a shame all he's gone through and where he was in life at one point and where he is now.

The most interesting thing I got out of the interview is his hot wife, Carolina, stalked him down and told her friends at age 14 that she was going to marry Steven Adler.  She was the president of some GNR fanclub in Argentina and she came to the US to meet Steven and ended up marrying him.  That shit only happens in the movies.

I was curious as to what Steven meant when asked by Howard "Does Axl still have money?"  Steven said he talked to Slash about it and some things are better off not being said.  What did that mean?
  Also, Steven mentioned talking to Axl in Vegas in '06 for four hours,and Howard skipped right over it, would have liked more details from Steven's point of view on that.
Lisa G also talked to Steven after the show, Steven commented on the reunion idea that Howard kept bringing up, saying Howard was very smart, hee
  I don't know if anyone heard the very beginning of the show when Howard said Steven was coming on.  Robin said that Axl had called Slash a cancer.  Howard said that from what he's read, Axl is the cancer, and that Axl has had nothing going on since Slash left etc, etc.
Overall, Steven sounded better than I was expecting, and he was pretty funny : ok:

He was just speaking in general, Slash told him better off not to answer questions about Axl.

I just listened to it and you are right.  He is not answering "does Axl still have money"  he says when he is asked the question about Axl "I asked Slash for advice on these answers about Axl, I'll just say it's best left unsaid."

Meaning all questions asked about Axl.

Steven Adler: Back from the brink and ready to rock

By Steve Wildsmith

March 12. 2009 12:50PM

His drumming helped propel "Appetite for Destruction," the 1987 album by Guns N' Roses, to not only become the highest-selling debut in history, but to sell, over the past 22 years, more than 18 million copies.

But it's only in the last six months has Steven Adler been able to enjoy the fruits of his labor.

Sure, he's received financial compensation for the five years he spent behind the kit for what, at the time, was billed as "the most dangerous rock band in the world." He's even parlayed his success into a touring band that relies heavily on G n' R covers -- Adler's Appetite, which performs Sunday night at Big Mama's Karaoke Café in Seymour.

But after a two-decade battle with addiction, Adler has managed to put together six months of clean time, he told The Daily Times this week -- and that makes the past six months a rebirth of sorts.

"Making it one day is a long time, and I've made it, like, six months," he said, voice filled with jubilation and the enthusiasm of newfound sobriety. "The last time I did anything goofy like that was on the show ("Sober House," a VH-1 reality show spin-off of "Celebrity Rehab," both of which featured Adler), when I got arrested (last summer). I've been so lucky, and I've got a great team of people around me; I've got my best friend Slash back in my life; and I'm happier than ever.

"It's like I'm seeing things for the first time. To have survived everything I went through -- a stroke, the band -- and get a second chance at life, it's crazy. And I'm so grateful I did those two shows. As much as I despised rehab and the whole AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) crap, it works!"

Born in Cleveland, Adler moved to Los Angeles as a kid. At the age of 12, he met future Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash while the two were skateboarding, and they quickly bonded. Deciding to form a band, they started out as Road Crew, picking up bassist Duff McKagan before joining up with guitarist Izzy Stradlin and infamous frontman Axl Rose. This "classic" lineup would go on to record "Appetite for Destruction," which was released in 1987.

The monumental success, however, contributed to Adler's meteoric fall. He missed part of the band's 1987 tour after punching a streetlight when drunk; in 1989, he missed out on an American Music Awards performance while in rehab. In 1990, during recording sessions for the song "Civil War" (which later wound up on the second volume of G n' R's "Use Your Illusion" project), his drug use was so debilitating that he had to record the drum tracks several dozen times before the band could even edit it down to something usable.

Shortly thereafter, he was fired; a subsequent lawsuit awarded him with a couple of million dollars and 15 percent of the royalties for the band's work during the time he was a member. For the next several years, however, that was the height of his success. He formed the first version of Adler's Appetite in 2003 and circled the outer rim of G n' R's fame -- playing with European cover bands and reuniting with a couple of his old Guns bandmates for a one-off performance two years ago -- but he never achieved the same level of fame.

His personal life was a train wreck as well -- in 1996, he suffered that aforementioned stroke; a second stroke would leave him with a minor speech impediment. Last summer, he agreed to battle his addiction publicly and was a member of the second season of "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew," a show filmed at Pasadena Recovery Center with Dr. Drew Pinsky as the lead therapist.

"The first time they asked me to do it, I wasn't ready, so I turned it down," Adler said. "When they asked me to take part in the second season, I felt different about things. I was a little older and wiser, and I didn't want to go through all of that crap again, so I let myself give them an opportunity to help me.

"I just wanted to give myself a chance to get better than I was yesterday. That first few weeks were the toughest, because once the drugs wear off, all of the emotions come out. The hardest part to get through was that first month."

Adler also agreed to participate in "Sober House," a reality show that follows the "Celebrity Rehab" clients as they transition into a halfway house. Although filmed last summer, it didn't premiere until January, and in the third episode, Adler was discovered in possession of heroin and kicked out. That, he said, was the last time he used. He's faced some legal problems earlier this year for failing to complete community service, but he's been clean, he said, since the "Sober House" incident -- and he's still in touch with Pinsky and the show's other counselors.

"Going into the show, I was doing it to take care of myself, and it just worked out that I was inspiring to people -- at least that's what a lot of them have told me," he said. "I'm so thankful to Dr. Drew and all of those people. The cast was insane, but the doctors had it together, and I still keep in touch with them. I still have their love and support."

Another relationship he's been able to repair is that with his old friend and bandmate, Slash. Both are estranged from Rose, who now owns the Guns N' Roses name and released a 14-years-in-the-making album late last year, but Slash's own sobriety -- he kicked a notorious alcohol problem four years ago -- has been an inspiration, Adler added.

"We started together, and I thought we were going to end our lives apart because of what happened, but our friendship is stronger than ever," he said. "If you read his book ("Slash"), you'll see where me and him come from. It's wonderful just talking to him and working with him again."

He's done some recording with his old friend, Adler said, and there are other projects on the horizon -- his own autobiography, due in January; a how-to DVD for beginning drummers; and touring with Adler's Appetite, which focuses on the hits he contributed to as part of G n' R.

"It feels like the record just came out!" he said with a laugh. "The fans are still singing along, and it's such a fun time. I'm having the best time of my life."

And what of his old band? He's heard one song off of "Chinese Democracy," the new Guns N' Roses album. Or, at least he thinks he has.

"It sounded pretty good -- there was something in there about blood, that's all I can remember," he said. "God bless Axl Rose. I still love him and all those guys, so God bless him -- God or Satan, whichever one is dealing with him these days. Let's just leave it at that."

From Eddie Trunk...

Great response to a huge Eddie Trunk Live on Sirius/XM this past Monday. Steven Adler was a great guest and talked with us for almost 2 hours. Good to see Chip Z.nuff also. Biggest moment came when I managed to get Slash to call in live from a studio where he was with Kid Rock live on air. Really cool moment. Slash is a solid guy and always comes through for me when I call on him, which I greatly appreciate. Hope Adler stays healthy, he is a good dude.

so i got two things from these articles



Kid Rock is going to be on Slash's solo album


Steven is going to play drums on a song or so on slash's album

"I wasn't even doing the hard hard drugs that they were doing until after they kicked me out" - Steve Adler March 2009.

He was on an opiate blocker (http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/articles/showarticle.php?articleid=145) when they tried recording Civil War with him.

As far as I know, that's not used against coffee drinking problems.....





/jarmo

Got to admit that the guy looks quite healthy tho. I mean, compared to what we're used to...

But yeah, why he can't take at least some of the blame himself is a mystery to me....

Steven has said before that he was totally wasted at the time and trying to get clean, thus the opiate blockers - his story changes with the wind, depending on who he wants to feel sorry for him.

STEVEN ADLER SAYS HE ISN'T GOING TO WAIT FOR AXL ROSE:

March 23, 2009

Former Guns N' Roses drummer Steven Adler checked in with Mike of www.psychobabbletv.com.

During the interview, viewable below, Steven Adler says, "It would be nice if we could do a reunion. I know, it would help me, in my life. Because I'm afraid when I die I'm gonna have to come back again to finish what I started. And if I could finish what I started with the GN'R guys, as a band, I know I could die happy. But I'm not gonna wait for him (Axl Rose). I waited and cried for decades, and no more. Fuck him!"

http://www.sleazeroxx.com/news09/0323adl.shtml

Double talkin' jive get the money motherfucker.... ::)

http://www.sonicexcess.com/steven_adler_interview.html

While I may not agree with Steven's opinion, it's great to see that he finally seems to be cleaning up his act a bit.

Adler's GNR?   I hope Axl sues him if he tries that.

this guy really needs to get his head out of 1987.  Thats the best thing he could do for himself is stop being the guy who played drums on Appetite.   Everyone else who has left the band has gotten over it and done other things.

Suddenly his tone changed.

And coincidentally enough, it happened after Axl said there was no reunion.




/jarmo

great news about him playing a song on Slash's album, and Slash producing Stevens album!
that's probably a sign that he's actually cleared his act up. I don't think Slash would be this involved if he hadn't.

missed that mother/adler-issue......was there any more info regarding this?

NO, Id say Steven's mind has changed thanks to therapy and all of that stuff. They probably have made him realize that he has to let go of wanting that to get healthy, so he probably is over the wishing for the GNR thing cause it is unhealthy to  keep wanting to be back in it.



Steven has every right to play Appetite.

Another certain member played basically the exact same 1987 stuff for the better part of two tours if I am not mistaken, so Jim Bob maybe u should watch what u say, cause u have a tendency of putting your foot in your mouth without even realizing it.

what other ex-member has gone around touring on GnR songs?

no foot in my mouth. unless its a very hot girl with extremely cute and clean feet.

U are saying Steven needs to stop living like its 1987just because he goes around doing AFD songs when thats about all Axl did cept for a few new songs and a couple Illusion songs on the 2002 tour.

so what is the difference?


I think its more than Ok for Steven and whoever was in the band to play what they contributed to.

If you really need me to explain why this is wrong then you haven't been paying much attention over the last few years.

i'm going to put this in bold and hope that it sinks in.

GnR goes on tour and plays GnR songs - new and old

Its completely different and you know it.     



sure he can.   but why does he need to put together a cover band and do nothing but play AFD songs?  He lives his life on that one album that was done by a band he hasn't been a part of for almost 20 years.

I don't care for VR, but at least they play like 2 AFD songs and the rest is all their own shit.

Steven is finally clean and now he is going to do more than just GNR stuff. He has every right to do it. I don't care if he is living in 1987. its his life and his choice. Also, his band do a great job on those songs.

I get tired of everyone treating Steven like he is some talentless fuck who stumbled into a golden situation.

He is still THE BEST drummer GNR have ever had and I will argue all fucking day long about that.

Listen to the drumming on AFD compared to every other GNR album. It is undeniable.

Best is subjective.  go fucking cry about it.

Steven can do whatever he wants.   I'm allowed to have an opinion on it.   You are entitled to yours.   You dont' need to get sand in your vagina because I don't lick Steven's ass.

Its not about licking someone's ass. Its a little thing called respect in which u don't have for anybody and it is just getting old.

The same shit u and others blast "trolls" for in the GNR section is the exact same shit u guys do here. its just bullshit.

this was my original post:

I don't think its the least bit disrespectful.   I'm saying what I think the guy could do to help himself.   I don't want to see him be such a loser.

While we're on the topic of respect.. do you respect the members of GnR?  interested in the band these days?    or are you more interested in trying to justify the past?  All you do is babble on about how great <insert AFD member here> is and how its a 'fact' that he's the best <insert band position here> GnR ever had.  Anyone who disagrees is disrespectful, because they like, or dare I say prefer, more recent lineups/members!   People have their own preferences and opinions and its not disrespectful  or wrong.

Josh Freese, Brain, and Frank IMO are all more suitable drummers for the band.  They have more techincal skill and they have a better work ethic!  Not saying this as a fact.. Thats my opinion, you won't change it.   Stop crying about it.

Steven Adler better than Brain or Josh Freese...

That's a good one :hihi:

Sad.

Technically not.. but music is not just about the technique. And style wise he rocks, if he's on the drums you can hear it's him; foot-tapping groove, cowbell and original beats/cymbal work. 8)

Steven is one of my favorite drummers, along with Roger Taylor and Taz Bentley (Izzy).

no doubt Steven has a cool style, and I'd like to see him use it for something other than what he's been doing.   I have no interest in seeing him take a group of washed up 80s guys and tour exclusively on AFD.   It would be cool to slip in a song or two like VR does, but I can't take the guy seriously until he stops being "the guy who played drums on AFD". 

Yeah, I guess I'm just attracted to technical prowess vs. a nice style.

Don't get me wrong, I love AFD and think Steven's drumming is a huge reason why I love that album, but if I were to start a band, Josh or Brain would be the person I'd want behind the kit.

The podcast is available for purchase :P on his website:

http://www.eddietrunk.com/index.cfm/pk/content/pid/404222

The band's singer quit: http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=169850044&blogId=483003016




/jarmo

I wonder what that is all about...they have a show in four days?

sure, but you have to look at this from a business stand point.

I mean the guy's claim to fame is being the drummer on AFD for GNR.  If he doesn't use that and play the album, who is going to come see them?

So I am sure he'd love to have the ability to create some phenomenal stuff, but even if he made a great album, what is the likelihood of anyone giving it a chance?  I think he has embraced the fact that he is known and will forever be known by that and he just lives off of it.  Not everyone can be Axl or U2 or Pearl Jam. Some just have to make a living with whatever means they have.

'The singer quit'

That's misleading.. Before the tour Sheldon already stated in a audio interview that this was just a temporary thing and he did it mostly for the cash, he's working on a new solo album. So this article is made more dramatic then it seems.

That was awful. Im glad the singer is only a temporary replacement.

Musically they play the fuck out of the songs


That singer is deplorably bad though.

I couldn't make it through 20 seconds of that.  Hopefully it was better for the people there live 20 beers deep.  That's the only way I could see that sounding good.

Looks like Steven has finally gotten over the dream of the AFD GNR lineup reuniting.  He's taking matters into his own hands and playing drums to track in front of a live audience.  It's a step up from him playing it on Rock Band I guess.

:rofl:


He is so pathetic.   What a loser.

He will forever be the guy who laid down the awesome beats for one of the greatest rock CDs ever


I'd love to be a loser like that. Without the drug problem of course.

what's funny to me is, everyone talks about these other guys in GNR and none of them have had a tenth of the success Steven has.

adler apologists... all they can do is point out he played drums on AFD.  That excuses everything else he's done ever since and makes all his fuckups completely cool.   

That video is embarrassing and you know it.   I dont give a shit what he did 20 years ago.   He's being a douchebag now.

Why call Steve a looser. He recorded on one of the biggest albums in history. Yes he has a drug problem and that's sad. And he is long gone from GNR.  But there is nothing wrong with him being proud of his past work. Just because GNR has a new drummer who we admire doesn't mean we need to insult steve.

but can we insult him for going around playing drum karaoke to AFD?   has nothing to do with Frank or Brain or anyone else. 

I see the drum karokee thing as him taking pride in his past work, and honouring what made him famous in the first place. He made those drum parts, he's proud of them, and he plays them at clinics for other drumers or causal fans of AFD to check out.

Many guitarists perform their works to backing tapes as well when they don't have, or don't wish to have an entire band.  I agree it's a specalised market and audience for that kind of thing. Not like going to a big arena show for GNR or anything, but at the end of the day, he has his place in GNR history, and he's got a right to showcase his past works.

why is it all you do is post in the ex-gunners section and bash every member not associated with chinese democracy? for a band you claim to love, you have nothing but negative things to say bout every member not named Axl. And it was those members who were instrumental in laying the foundation for what Gnr is today, because deny it all you want, but if it wasn't for the AFD lineup, Axl would not have been able to take 15 years between studio albums to bring us chinese democracy.

Where is Tarsha?! He was so much better than Rick Stitch  :'(

Agree.

I saw the band play in March and it was a great show. People give the guy alot of shit because of his problems with drugs, but he can still play the fuck out of those drums. He looked a whole lot healthier than he did on 'Celebrity Rehab' too.

the cheyenne saloon? LOLOLOLOL   

if you guys lived in vegas you'd know why i'm laughing.  :rofl:

Please indulge us

Noticed they are playing with LIta!!!!!!!!!!


maybe Bumble will join them on a song or two!

bumble's making the rounds w/ all the x-gunners :hihi:

there are alot rock bars that are dive's............ever been to The Stone Pony in Asbury Park.  Famous rock bar but absolute dive last time I was there.  And from some of the outside footage of the famous rock clubs in hollywood, they looked to have been dive bar's as well..........

i guess it's not the bars themseleves that are the attraction but the bands that play them that make them famous 

At that time in the first line up of G&R you do know that Steven wasn't the only one abusing drugs. All the members were in that pit. So I really wouldn't put Steven down on what happen.
In fact I was very surprised back than when they kicked him out of the group. What would of been the right thing to do is place a hold on making the Use your Illusion cds and give Steven the friendly support that he well deserved.  It doesn't matter that it's a business. Those guys were all friends back than and had a brotherhood that should of never been broken by outside influences. Case in point: "When the drummer of Def Leppard lost his arm the group waited for him to get his act together instead of kicking him out of the band. Plus they did the same for Steve Clark when he was slipping into his alcohol vat. Bands should support and go through Heaven & Hell with each other unless one member decides that he or she can't do it anymore.
My guess here is if Steven was given that support he would of been back in the game and made the Illusion I & II with the band. It would of been a different deal. The band that sticks together are the ones that stay together no matter what.  :smoking:

They did that. They paid for rehabs, threatened his drug dealers, etc.  The next album was way past due and the band had to get to work. Steven was too out of it and they were left with no choice.

its a dive bar

I can't imagine playing dive bars is very good for your sobriety either

i thought all rock bars were dive's?  thats what i love about em!  :beer:

...neither is being Steven.  Last I remember his definition of 'sobriety' did not exclude weed/booze - just as a disclaimer, that may be based on an old interview, I wasn't really paying attention.  :no:

If you want to R&R, at that level, you are stuck playing places like that...and when you are as infamous as Steve, will always have someone who wants to hang with you, dumping free booze and drugs your way.  I am sure that is what spawned the celbri-shrink to say "this tour will kill you".

All-New Video Blog!

Recorded 6/11/2009 as the band was rehearsing for their upcoming American Tour...

http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=169850044&blogId=494440199

Didn't see this thread until 10 mins ago.

They were playing right down the street from me tonight.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!   Missed it.

Hopefully they come back through OKC.

Really I think Steven could do those songs easyly I mean AFD he had the beat for the job and I think he still would have that effect for those songs.

 :rofl:Like I said before being in Vagus sober is like going on the internet and not having the urge to get porn.

:peace:

I dunno' dude, it would certainly be cool to see/hear Steven's take on TWAT or Riad'.

Here is a Ustream video of Adler's Appetite performing at SoDo Night Club in Colorado Springs on June 15th.  Here is what they play on the video:

Night Train
My Michelle
Civil War

Thanks.  That's pretty fun to watch.  Rick is sounding better.  He doesn't try to sing it note for note, but he adds his own style and still hits certain parts pretty well.   

^^ It was better than I expected.  And the 15 yr old, Austin Johnson, who joined them on guitar for "Knockin' On Heavens Door" is really good.

Adler's Appetite will be appearing on Eddie Trunks radio program on June 29th at 6:00 pm.

True just gos to show you give a kid a chance and you might be blown out of the water by the results.

Some pretty good footage...

VH1 Classic specials this weekend, TS, Adler, Squier.

6/30/09: Great time last night with Steven Adler and Chip Z'nuff in studio. Chip has been a bud for a long time and Adler is just a really nice guy. He clearly is happy to be healthy and playing again, and looks better than I have seen in a long time. He clearly wants a G&R reunion in a big way and is banging the drum hard, but who knows if it will ever happen. Line of the night from him was when I asked him about the current lineup of the band and he yelled; "THERE IS NOBODY IN THE BAND EXCEPT AXL"! Passionate guy who says what he feels which always makes for a great guest. Thanks to Freddie from Dingbatz for bringning Adler and Chip in. Always fun guests.

Hes always had a thing with Axl that he didnt like idk.

Seen them last night.  Adler does look pretty healthy.  Sounded decent.

Steven is such an idiot.  Everytime he opens up his yap he decides to insult and talk trash about the guy he is hoping will give him the biggest payday of his life.   What a fucking moron, I wish this jerk off and junkie would just go away.

After Axl said it's not happening, Steven kinda changed his tone....

Not surprising.  ::)





/jarmo

Just to hit this from a different angle:

Going by Steven, I guess he can't figure out why someone wouldn't want to get back together with the band and make millions and millions of dollars.

I guess in his mind, he doesn't understand where Axl is coming from etc.

Steven sees all these other bands reuniting and making a fortune and he can't figure out what is stopping them.

The crowd went "mild" for that one!!!


that wasn't very good. except for steven, but still... i wouldn't pay to see this. the solos sucked, the vocals were very dodgy and it didn't sound all that great.

"Thank you for another great tour!" by STEVEN!

Oh, man, this tour was great. Thank you so much to everybody that came out to see us, to everybody that hung around and had all those nice things to say? Man, we played places?we played a cornfield! Iowa! They flattened a cornfield out and put in a mini-carnival. They had a semi-trailer-truck and put a PA in it, and we played the show in a fucking cornfield! It was called ?Cornstock?! So many great shows, great people?

The other night in Illinois, it was so awesome playing with Warrant! I was standing right behind Steven Sweet on the drums. You know I love Jani Lane, he wrote the songs, they?re amazing? I don?t care what he thinks about 'Cherry Pie', it?s a fucking hit and he should be happy? but their new singer Robert Mason, he was great! I was talking to him and said ?I would love to do some work with you?. And seeing Lita Ford, it was so wonderful hugging her and she was so nice to me, everybody remembers everything, it was great. I didn?t get to see Bret Michaels in Minnesota but I saw Big John, he?s the security, the main guy on that show, 'Rock of Love'. I?ve known him for decades. It was wonderful seeing him, too.

Morale within the band is fabulous! Ricky did a great job! We lost him in Chicago, he went out with some chick and never came back to the bus so he had to catch another flight to make it home. He?s havin? a great time and it was a great time. I love and thank each one of the guys; Alex, Michael, Chippy, they were all at the top of their game, totally professional. The people loved them, of course!

The audiences were fabulous! We put on such a big show, it?s an Arena show we put out! You go see bands at clubs and bars, you don?t usually see people chanting, singing along with every word with their hands and arms up in the air. Even if it?s just a hundred people, it looks like so much more with all the hands in the air ?cause they all are so into it! I swear (the audience ages) were anywhere from six to sixty! I felt like a politician, I was taking pictures with babies! And girls, throughout the decades, you got better looking! I couldn?t believe it, but all I can say is so many people really loved our show and said it was better than when they saw what Axl was doin?. It?s crazy, but that?s the main thing I heard! So we?re workin? on getting more goin?, there?s a few shows comin? up that?s listed on here, and hey, I love you all, God bless, and thank you!

- Steven Adler
7/7/2009

Axl said Steven sees him as the guy who holds the keys to his happiness.

Not very smart of Steven to be trashing Axl everytime he does an interview.    Don't get me wrong, I wish all the success in the world for the guy.    But he's not doing anything to help his cause.

Yeah that and they were basicly as big as Led Zepplin in its prime back then so now it would be the bigest thing in the world of music right now!!!

Adler allready played in the Chi dam I thought he was comming later in the summer :(

ugh Steven Adler is the biggest clown around..He played some tiny little shit hole in my town, a bar i wouldnt even have MY band play at, and this guy was in Guns N Roses.  It wouldnt be half as bad if he would just shut the fuck up about Axl and GNR...he has been out of the band for 20 fucking years!!!!

Maybe it's gotten to the point where he knows there's no chance of a reunion so he figures he might as well just trash Axl while he has the chance.

I liked his show for what it was but that right there doesn't endear him to many people.

Well he might feel nistalgic about it becouse the first GN'R show ever was at a shit hole bar thats all I am saying.

you don't think he'd be playing bigger places if he could get the gigs?   HA!

He's such a fucking loser, all he can do is play dive bars and talk trash.   What a sad fucking guy.

Yeah... I'd rather watch frickin Gilby Clarke play then watch Adler and his dog and pony show play a concert.   Hey Adler shut up about Axl ! new GnR is ten times better than anything you put out there.

Marc Canter seems to agree,

http://www.mygnrforum.com/index.php?showtopic=150893&st=75

Steven is doing much better now but needs to keep his mouth shut. Everything he says just puts him a step further. He is still a nice guy.

True I dont know I think he was trying to act like "hay Axl I would like to make a reunion tour but if you decide not to I dont fucking care" to try to motivate Axl to do it or something and if thats the case well then Steven should have at least done a statium tour at least otherwise he just looks retarted but hes still a good guy and a Great Drumer.

just watched those three youtube vids put up. i dont like to bad mouth anyone, but those were awful. maybe its one of those shows thats fun while you were there, but when u seeit again you say, i remeber it being way better than that. idk, but that was hard to watch, & listen to. i use to feel bad for steven, but i dont anymore, would it be to much for him to write a few new songs & perform them?

Because Axl values happiness and peace of mind over playing with people who have made his life a living hell for the last 15+ years?

Come on now you cant say that Steven made Axls life a living hell for about 15 years he did sue the band but Steven did only get about 15 % of the money earned from AFD while Axl got 25%, Slash, Izzy, and Duff got 20% and Steven took it to heart when they were decideing the cuts when Axl basicly said that Steven dosent deserve the amount he gets so think about that!!!

Steven is a drummer...I think 15% is way more than generous.  In fact it's absurd. 

Agreed, not to mention that Axl said Steven brings along with him his bitch of a mother in addition to his own baggage. Why would Axl want to play with a fucking junkie with obvious mommy issues? ???

Plus as far as I've ever read/heard Steven was far less instrumental in writing or coming up with material than the others.  I'm sure he came up with his drum parts and he was an equal "performer".  If they wanted to go in all even, all for one, one for all, I guess they could have.  And I'm sure that's what Steven wanted and hoped for.  But I think they had every right to allocate the funds the way they did.

I think they should have made it even but from what I read the way Axl said it to the guys made it sound like "he fucking shouldnt even be here" kind of thing and thats not cool :(

of course we know that but Steven doesn't see it

Ive always thought most drummers are overrated anyway to be honest.

Steven may not have been as important as Axl,Slash or Izzy or Duff but he was still important.

True Illusions albums would have sounded better with Steven if he was sober while playing.

That's a very noble thought, to share everything evenly.  But that's not how the world works or how MOST people think.  I'm sure if you research other bands, GNR isn't alone in how royalties and what not are not shared equally across the board.

Yeah I know that when I make my band I hope to try to make it that way then the only person we would have to keep our eye on from our money would be our manager the way every Rock N' Roll band should be!!!!

Some video from a recent show...

Adler's Appetite - Welcome To The Jungle

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEFQyY4smh8

I just listened to it the singer sucked he had no right to sing the song the way he did it was like he was trying to talk the lirics man I could do 10 times better than him I bet with most if not all the GN'R songs other than him everything was great Steven loves the camera as always!!!

The singer (Rick Stitch) has posted...

Today is the last day of the Adler's Appetite tour, which has been a real f'n blast. Looking forward to taking the stage once again with my boys in Ladyjack.

To put things in perspective:


Axl (http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/articles/showarticle.php?articleid=11), in 1992.


I highlighted the important part.

Axl gave part of HIS money to Steven.


Steven plays drums, he didn't write the songs. He plays drums on the songs. There's a difference.

How often do you see drummers being credited as the songwriter just because he drums on a song?

Not very often. Just like you don't credit a bass player for the song just because he put down a bass track on it.


Matt Sorum didn't get one single songwriting credit on the songs he played on the Use Your Illusion albums. See a pattern here?




/jarmo

^^^^^Adler deserves every penny.   He should have got 20 percent, but Axl screwed him out of 5 percent, and probably would have taken more.  Steven would have been thrown out in the cold and left with nothing.  Getting that money was the smartest thing he could have done.  He still contributed to that album, songwriting or not.  As far as I'm concerned, everybody on that album is equal as having an impact. 

Again, that's a noble way to look at things but that's just not how things work.  Rock and roll is a business, no matter how much you want to try and deny that it's all for the love of the music.  If the drummer has a heckuva lot less to do with the construction of the songs, then why should he get an equal share?  Business wise it makes no sense at all.  In fantasyland where everyone is equal regardless of how hard they work or how much they work maybe that's the way things go, but we're talking about real life.  And don't try and pretend like Axl Rose originated this line of thinking, most, if not all bands are run this way.

Are you serious?

Axl paid him. Nobody else.


Basically he got paid for something he didn't do...... Write the songs!

Thanks to Axl.

Yet Axl is selfish?




/jarmo

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Axl or Izzy sat there and wrote out the drum parts for these songs.

If you read my post before replying, you'd notice that I pointed out that playing drums on a song doesn't automatically make you a song writer.

Why do you think Duff wasn't credited as a song writer on all the other songs he plays bass on? Isn't bass important?



According to your logic, Ringo Starr should be credited for all those Beatles songs he plays on? Especially a song like Yellow Submarine because he sings on it too! Sings and plays drums, that's gotta be more important than what Lennon/McCartney did on it!   ::)



There would be no songs for Steven to play on unless somebody wrote the song first. That would be the song writer(s).

What came first? The songs or Steven's drum parts?





/jarmo

I like Yellow Submarine :)

Duff contributed basically the same that Steven did.  For Steven to get any less than he already did would not have been fair since he helped create those songs.  It would not have been the same without him.   Even though Sorum didn't get writing credits on UYI, he was simply hired as a replacement.  I just think what Steven was awarded was fair, that is all.

I was just watching VH1 Classics and it said it was on this day, July 19, 1991, that Steven filed a lawsuit against his band mates.  He claimed that the band was responsible for his drug use. 

No, Duff wrote or helped write some songs.






Of course it was the band. It couldn't be him.





/jarmo

Ringo did get some writing credits for other songs for his writing melodies/ lyrics for other songs.
Copy rights are for the originality. You can't copyright your drumming unless maybe you come up with totally original beats no one ever wrote but is that even possible?
Is One and two and three and four and one and two and three and four and One and Bo diddley beat copyrighted? 

Steven has come a long way since demanding 15%.
He would probably sleep in the trunk and eat food scraps just to be in the company of the original gunners.

But seriously, he was 1/5 of what made AFD sound great and look better.
He may have also presented the hair metal image for GNR that helped them sell a few more records to the rock-buying public at that time.

MNR

Vary true but Steven still put in the time on the album like everyone else did and what Steven contributed to the album was different than what Axl contributed to it Steven added an great element to AFD and should be praised  for it...

8/28/2009 11:00 PM at HOWL AT THE MOON UNIVERSAL *After-Show Party!*
100 Universal Studios Blvd, UNIVERSAL CITY, California 91608


***OFFICIAL AFTER SHOW PARTY***!!! http://www.citywalkhollywood.com/nightspots/howl_at_the_moon.html

that was a cool video

Adler's Appetite teams up with ARM - Artist's Representation and Management.

Steven is excited to have an agency of ARM's caliber exclusively booking the band!

That is great news lets hope theirs more to come ;)

Here is some pretty good footage of Adler's Appetite performing "Welcome To The Jungle" at Universal CityWalk on August 28th.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S57D0spBdUM

awesome watching Steven drum that

singer blows but cool seeing Steven drum

yeah thats what I said on another thread their singer sucks hard in every category but Steven sounds great almost better than when he did it on AFD no but it was great

i dont see the appeal of that at all, but thats just me.

Cant win everyone over I guess

I just like watching Steven play drums.... Rest of the band I could care two shits about.

Some photos from Universal CityWalk this weekend.

Chip Z'Nuff is pretty cool.   He and Adler are a good rhythm section.   

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoWM2jl5Acg

This is welcome to the jungle live somewhere. There are some sweet guitar solos at the beginning 2. Very nice video. Hopefully it wasn't posted earlier.

Alex Grossi looks so GROSS  :hihi:
he is an idiot, i remember him years ago bashing axl and in the same interview saying sorry to dizzy for bashing axl

that sounded like dogshit, the intro was way fucked and that singer has no business trying to sing Axl's lines.

Wow what a dike this makes me hate him more :rant: :rant: :rant:


So I give him a metal rant

Steven looks great I hate the singer though he looks so smug when he knows he kills music everytime he sings GN'R

He's actually a really nice guy.   I met him when his other band LadyJack was opening for Adler in January.   He is all about just playing music and having fun.  I think he gets a lot of hate because he is singing Axl's lyrics which is hard to nail.   He's not the best singer they've had, but  I still think he is a decent frontman as far as energy. 
 

That was mean on my part I will admit but if hes gonna do those songs he should be practicing them at least It dose not even sound like he is trying

the singer is good enough to go through the songs.....so why Adlers is still playing the same again and again! he should make a new record,and try to find a new start to this line up

Supposedly, that was the plan.  Not sure if that has changed or what the progress on that is.

He said before that they're the songs that everyone wants to hear anyways, and he is kind of right.

Ive seen GNR in 2006, VR in 2005 and 2008 and Loaded in 2009, and i can honestly say, the old songs always get the biggest cheers!
Crowd always goes wild when they hear them songs.

Well I can't come down on the guy for taking so long after the Chinese Democracy saga, but he's been talking about making new music with his band for a few years now.  It would be nice for them to move forward a bit.

I agree Steven your one of my favorate drummers ever and your a great guy but please give us some new music your the only orriginal member that has not made a real album after you left GNR.
