Ex-Guns N' Roses drummer seeks rehab, and his old job

[IzzyDutch]

Don't let Popcorn hear CD

IF he does, he will know that its never gonna happen.

Well maybe it'll get his hopes up, since CD sucks

I'm getting the impression after reading other non-GN'R related messageboards and Dutch national newspapers and sites that CD isn't that well recieved.

Well your wrong. It's getting rave reviews across the globe, just read the review thread on the main board. This thing is being heralded as the greatest album of the last 10 years.

I'm not convinced yet.. but we'll see

[CheapJon]

pretty cool that CD can sell gold in holland in a few hours when it's according to you not wellrecieved there

[D]

That because he and two of his friends probably hate it which constitutes all of the world.

Yeah I read that, but the reviews I've read in Dutch newspapers and news sites weren't that positive, I wasn't speaking for the rest of the country. I think when it comes to that the majority of the sales is just hype, curiousity..

My impression after reading some reviews, wether it's newspaper/internet/messageboard is that the die-hard GN'R fans like it, but the 'casual' GN'R fan doesn't really.

[Alfie Bones]

"Casual" fans also listen to dogshit bands like Nickelback and Trapt.

Axl and the band are happy, the fans who go to their concerts are happy, who cares?

[Jdog0830]

I seriously dout that Axl would even conciter it cus theres serious friction between those 2

Found a video of Steven talking about Dimebag the night after he died. Is he high in this clip or is it just how he is now? Well 3 years ago.

He actually seems very drunk rather than wasted, with his speech impediment it seems a lot worse.

He doesnt seem any different to any drunken person attempting to express themselves coherantly, when they have had one to many.

I just watched the other video under it and he is pulling cones in it. So I think he is a little of both.


 

[Olorin]

No doubt he will be on some over the counter prescrictions as well, the man a walking pharmacy.

Izzydutch is telling the truth, most reviews over here were pretty negative and as for the whole gold thing?, those things mean shit in this country. You have to sell 25.000(single) or 30.000(album) units to get to gold status and that's not really a hard thing to do in a country with 16.5 million people.

[CheapJon]

i'm not doubting that it gets slammed in the press, i'm saying it's impressive that it can sell 30,000 in a couple of hours

[Grouse]

Oh I agree that's impressive  , just don't get to impressed by the whole gold status thing because that doesn't mean to much over here. When it goes 2x platinum that would be impressive!

[IzzyDutch]

Bedankt Grouse

i think they should bring back adler and let him stand next to axl during AFD songs and perform cowbell.

  You goose. 

I think he is always going to be a former member with his own band. I really cant see Him n Axl on stage again ever. Maybe Im wrong but I just cant se it.


 

[Jim Bob]

No you're right.   Unless of course you count tribute band singers dressed up like Axl. 

[R.B. Huckleberry]

Adler has had 18 years to clean up. Now that he's looking at jail time, he wants to clean up & re-conquer the world with GNR.


I hate junkies. You know what I hate even more? the guys who clean up...or appear to clean up...because now it's gonna be jail & that's inconvenient.


Do your time, Steven. learn something.

Judge Orders Former GUNS N' ROSES Drummer STEVEN ADLER To More Rehab - Dec. 19, 2008

According to Newsday.com, a court commissioner in Los Angeles agreed Friday to place former GUNS N' ROSES drummer Steven Adler in a state-sanctioned drug rehabilitation program and keep Adler 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 missed a court appearance last week, but told the court on Friday that he had been in another rehab program that he completed just earlier in the day.

Steven really really needs to let go of his past.    He can't live his life based on being drummer in GnR for a few years.    He isn't going to fix himself until he moves on.

True. He did a great job on AFD, but I can?t imagine him being in Gn?R now.
