Steven Adler - no show for Rock The boat!

[Captain P?l]

well, he didnt show for rock the boat in Norway..

so the GNR tribute band had to do it on their own.... 


i wasnt there though, but a friend of mine said Gilby was the sweetest guy and stuff like that and his show fucking rocked. played the same songs he usually do

[Jonathan]

Hahaha, I can't help it.

This is pure comedy, for sure.

[JDA]

Seriously, name one good thing that Steven did for GN'R.  Matt is the original GN'R drummer to me and I've been a fan since 88.

Nothing beats the AFD line-up. Steven's drumming is awesome, he's got a great groove... Matt on the other hand is like a drummachine, his timing is so perfect it's boring... also he uses the same beat over and over again whereas Steven used different beats for each song, making the song stick out. And the drumtracks on UYI where basically already written, Matt just played on it and made up his own fills and stuff.

"They were written with Steve playing the drums and his sense of swing was the push and pull that give the songs their feel. When that was gone, it was just...unbeliev- able,weird. Nothing worked."

- Izzy Stradlin '92

Enough said..

How about writing 90% of all the drums? that good enough for ya?

He may be a better drummer but what a waste of talent and space.  If he didn't have money coming in from GN'R he would be dead or be laying in the gutter somewhere.  NO band would want this guy in their band because he's a fuckup.  Give me Matt any day.  Much more exciting.

Steven's planning to record new material with Chip in the near future... anyways Steven hasn't done that much up until 1999. And then Adler's Appetite started in 2000/2001, but since then he's toured alot and recorded/released an EP.
Technically speaking he has done more then Axl and his band

Yeah he fucked some things up with the last line-up but hey everyone fucks up once in a while. Atleast he's busy with music, and they have written original songs over the years only they where never recorded properly. Steven can still drum his ass off and put on a good show. But hey Steven and Matt are completely different drummers, it's all what you prefer anyway..

Hmm interesting, so tell me what does steven do in his day to day life??? ?

[JDA]

I wouldn't listen to Steven if he payed me to come play in my basement.  I would rather go to a Justin Timberlake show than watch STeven.  Sorry, I just think he's a dumbass.  Very good drummer though.   I'm done.

and you wouldn't watch a good drummer playing in your own basement cos you think he's a dumbass?
reasonable..

[Luigi]

It's really to bad for Steven

[Tomorrows]

I feel sorry for Adler. Hes a fucking joke and he has no one to blame but himself.

Still his work on AFD is better than what Matt recorded.

[jimmythegent]

so the GNR tribute band had to do it on their own....?

were'nt they playing in Lisbon that night?

wahahha..BURN!
(sorry, watching that '70s show )

[tomass74]

Steven is a good guy... And a hell of a drummer still to this day.

[PhillyRiot]

I love Steven and when he left the band you kind of had the feeling GNR would never be the same.  I would have loved to hear Steven play on Coma.  I love the original lineup.  I like the new band don't get me wrong, but I will always be old school.

[ShotgunBlues1978]

Steven is a good guy...

How?  He's a junkie who screwed everything up for himself and still blames everyone else for what happened to him

[gnr1967]

Very true.? Steven's work was classic.? Too bad he's been in a downward spiral for so long.? Until he started popping up in the media a few years ago, I really thought he was straightening his life out.? For example, I remember reading an interview where he was talking about getting off drugs and writing a book about GNR.? When he formed Sukie Jones (Adler's Appetite), I thought he finally got himself together.? Now it's just kind of sad what's happened to him.? ?
