Adler's Appetite To Embark On First Full U.S. Tour

[D]

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.

[D]

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.     

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

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.

[D]

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.

[D]

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:

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.

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

[The Catcher]

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.

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

[Jim Bob]

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.

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.

The podcast is available for purchase on his website:

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.

[IzzyDutch]

'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.
