steven adler arrested for possession of narcotics

Well....... best be careful when the other "ex-members" that you haven't mentioned happen to be in the same thread.

No rant. That's all I'll say. 

[Grouse]

^yet you do feel the need to troll the vr section I wonder why...

[D]

There ya go Jim Bob, saying stuff to piss off and cause an argument

that shit is called being a troll. Funny how nobody ever calls u out on that shit


I have never INSULTED a GNR member to defend the old

I give my honest opinion on Robin Finck who I think is an average guitar player *That is my opinion based on what I believe* i dont say it to piss people off. I have never insulted any other member, hell not even Chris Pittman. Why is that? cause I like and think every member of GNR are awesome except for Robin who I just dont dig his style of guitar playing.

Also, this is an argument just as if we were having a sports argument.

It would be like me saying Freddy Adu is better than Pele in Futbol/soccer or Kobe Bryant is better than Micheal Jordan

statments like this can be backed up with facts.  U check Slash's resume, u check Robin's resume and u get a 10 second 1st round TKO. Thats just the facts dude and it isnt me saying anything to intentionally "Piss" someone off as u do by spewing the stuff u do.


Adler is my favorite drummer and only one of a handful I care about. The problem I have with your comments are the fact that we havent heard Brain drum one GNR album and hell is he even stilll in the band?

THere is just an enormous difference in writing SCOM and someone else "Playing" SCOM.  I think most dont realize how rare and hard it is to write some all time greatests in the history of music stuff.



Adler is a junkie and I take great offense to people talking shit about STeve like he only did the show for exposure or to make money.  If u watch it, u will hear Dr Drew describe how hard addiction is to overcome and how most cant. It seems he just gave in again.

Smoking Pot, drinking alcohol to me are all bad and horrible ideas if u area  junkie and the sad thing is, he is at the age now where its almost getting too late. u would think he would've figured it out by now.

[Jim Bob]

you use fame to justify greatness.   I think people can have the opinion that someone is better than someone else even though they are less famous.   

more of the same babbiling from D.  the usual.   everything he said in the post above he's said millions of times.    you aren't going to change anyone's opinion so get used to the fact that not everyone on a GnR site is going to give a shit about your precious overrated slash.

STEVEN ADLER Claims He's 'Innocent', Gets Sent Back To Rehab; Video Available - July 19, 2008

TMZ.com has posted video footage of former GUNS N' ROSES drummer Steven Adler ? who was arrested for drugs and an outstanding warrant yesterday ? exiting the LAPD (Los Angeles Police Department) Hollywood station with his bail bondsman after being released from police custody at 5:28 p.m. PST on Friday (July 18).

"In conjunction with Dr. Drew Pinsky, who is the owner of the Las Encinas rehab center [in Pasadena, California], we're about to ? hopefully with Steven Adler's co-operation ? escort him to Las Encinas to check him in to begin a hopefully positive rehab stay," the bondsman told the TMZ cameraman before bailing Adler out. "If he resists, I've been authorized to re-arrest him and take him forthwith back to L.A. County jail downtown and re-book him into the County jail system, 'cause I can't do it here at the police department. So my fingers are crossed that he's gonna be a willing and co-operative defendant."

  are you sure that's Steve?

[Jim Bob]

are you sure that's Steve?

yep thats him.

[willow]

Guns N Roses doesn't owe Steven anything he lots of chances. He's the one that fucked up. Sad but I am guessing he will never get his shit together. At this point jail is probably the best thing for him. Maybe then he will stop living in the past.

There's another video there besides the Steven one of Travis Barker saying he thought Steven was the best drummer for GN'R, there were only two but he was the best

I guess Travis barker hasn't been following the band lately.

Travis is an amazing drummer and maybe he just prefers Steve to Matt.

A man who has no virtues is a hater of existence who acts on the premise of death; to help him is to sanction his evil and to support his career of destruction.

[Lineker10]

I'm not an expert on addiction, but when you say you're sober and stopped using drugs, is it a good idea to still be smoking pot?

From interviews with Steven it seems like he's often saying he's not using drugs yet he's happy to talk about smoking pot.


I remember one where he was talking about going to Amsterdam to take part in the Cannabis Cup or something.

It can be actually - the reason its tolerated so much in Amsterdam - apart from the toursit ?? it attracts is that it helps people stay away from harder drugs and ex-hard drug junkies stay off the smack. I know people personally who are ex-junkies who smoke pot as its the one thing that can really help in terms of not going back to the hard stuff. I think most of the time when people re-lapse its down to who there hanging around with at the time - wasnt Adler hanging around with other musicians who take hard drugs?

"Sober" Dime Dropped on G n'R Drummer

Posted Jul 25th 2008 2:12PM by TMZ Staff

When Guns 'n' Roses drummer Steven Adler decided to try and kick his drug habit by joining the "Sober Living" house, he certainly couldn't have imagined it would land him in the klink.

Sources close to the production say after a "confrontation" in the house, a member of the "Sober" staff called the cops, who came and popped Adler on an outstanding warrant.

His own peeps tell us the staff called the fuz because Adler was allegedly doing drugs in the house.

David Weintraub, Steven's manager, told TMZ, "Steven Adler's arrest was an unfortunate situation that didn't have to occur in the context of him starring in a television show."

No response from VH1.

[Jim Bob]

so is this an additional arrest that just happened?

that would be awesome if they showed it on the TV show.

Why is Steven such a fuck up?

[FunkyMonkey]

I think this is from the July 18th arrest.

If true...it may be on the show?

[Bodhi]

So, they must be recording the shows that will air in October, then.  I wonder if they'll be including all the drama, in the show.  Would be interesting to see.

Plus, just my two cents worth - I don't really care for Adler, either, mainly because of his "poor me" attitude about his being ousted from the band - 18 yrs ago - and he supposedly, pretty much, signed himself out, on his own, because he didn't bother to read the fine print.  However, I don't think it's fair to call him a waste of fucking life.  He's an addict, and that can't be an easy road to try and get off of.  I'm not trying to make excuses for him, either, but I'm just saying that he's not able to completely sober up - for whatever reason.  No one is a waste of fucking life.

Izzy would never go for a reunion without Steve.

Just saying.
