Steven Adler - no show for Rock The boat!

[The Blob]

steven always will be THE guns n' roses drummer. not sorum, not brain.

he is one of THE FIVE...

in my eyes a real reunion is axl, slash, duff, izzy and steven (and definitely not sorum).

[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.

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.   

The worst thing about it is that he seems to have this attitude where he denies problems to himself but talks about it openly in this detached and unashamed way (I suspect because he likes the sympathy and attention).

Never going to go anywhere with an attitude like that

I don't see any way Steven plays for any extended time with GnR - maybe a one time gig at the RnRHOF, but that's about it for him, which is too bad.

Well I think Steve drumming is great I like it better than Matt's but we all know that, people like matt; people like steven big deal, no lets move on 

What happened to Steven any news?

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

I have partied with him a few times..  He is a good guy.. Just because you are a fuck up doesn't mean your a bad person.

Cool that you've partied with him.  From his interviews, he seems like a very funny guy (sometimes unitentionally).  I remember an interview where he was asked why he still does drugs and he said because it makes his cock hard.

Cool that you've partied with him.? From his interviews, he seems like a very funny guy (sometimes unitentionally).? I remember an interview where he was asked why he still does drugs and he said because it makes his cock hard.? ?

Althougn I've lost some respect for Steven's ability to exercise self-control, I don't think he's necessarily a bad person.? I do think he runs his mouth a lot about other people (but I guess you can say that about almost every GNR member/ex-member!).?

Some of the nicest people in the world are drunks/addicts, etc.? ?Must have been interesting to party with him!

Wednesday, August 8th.
according to pollstar, the show is at a venue called Bottom's Up in Astoria. but i called there, and they said that the show will actually be at the new Bottom's Up, which opens June 15th in Flushing.

on a side note, I saw Bang Tango recently @ the continental, and even though joe leste was the only original member, and there were less than 20 people there, i have to say that b.t. totally delivered the goods.

The guy's lost it big time, he really needs to get his life on track or he'll be dead soon, I mean firing his bands, not turning up to shows, he's not in his twentys anymore he needs to find some stability.

what the hell are you guys talking about? Im still in my 20s!

haha anyways, I agree with Jamie. Steven is an awesome guy, he just needs to get off the smack and put a good band back together!

At least Axl isn't a heroin junky. It really is unfair to compare Axl and Steven at this point. Axl may have built up this reclusive image around him but at least he seems happy with his life, and I'm glad he took as long as he has with CD if it is benificial to his health. But this convo is not about Axl it's about Steven, and I stand by what I said.

Hey man,

I just checked Pollstar and that show is actually scheduled for Wed August 2nd not the 8th.  I am planning on going.  Anyone else?

[mikegiuliana]

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.

if you're a fan since 88 why would matt be the original drummer to you

[g2r_Axl]

Stevie Rocks. I'll put some youtube clips up soon of when i toured with him last Feb. unfortunatly he was outta control but the nicest guy you could ever meet and a killer on drums!

i got to know the real Steven well off stage behind the sex, drugs n rock n roll. some of it true some of it ain't! What i will say is don't judge someone you don't know! and never ever listen to Metal fuckin Sludge! 

i'll post up our backstage vid from Valentines Day 2006 which is hilarious?
