Topic Steven Adler

It's pretty unfair to assume he's going to freak out on painkiller and get trashed.

I think he wants this and I think that he'll do whatever he can to play randomly with them in a guest aspect.

You obviously don't know anything about addiction.

As far as the Appetite songs being "Steven's songs", well, yeah I get it. But when I'm paying a few hundred dollars for one show, I want the best musicians up on that stage. I've seen some recent YouTube clips where, yeah, Steven could play the songs, but if it was some noname posting a cover clip everyone would probably, in all honesty, think it's just okay. I feel bad for the guy, and that's the only reason I'd want to even see him up there for a song or two. But to me, that's just not enough for my money. It would be cool from a nostalgia standpoint, but I saw those guys already, a loooong time ago. I want the music to continue to move forward musically, and unfortunately, I don't think Adler brings anything to the table beyond he was one of the Appetite guys. Don't get me wrong, that's fucking awesome in itself, and again I'd feel bad for him to be left out, but I want the best show for my money. But if the band brings him out at some point, no doubt as a favor and nothing more, I'd probably think that was cool

Why do you say that?

It is reasonable to think he'll pop painkillers, which isn't very good at all with someone that has horrible addiction tendencies. I get it.

Just its pretty easy to kick someone when they're down ya know?

What?

What?

No, you obviously don't get it.

To an addict, there's NOTHING more important than your next fix.

And there's nothing reasonable in thinking any addict can just pop painkillers without relapsing.  It would be difficult even under strict medical supervision for someone with Steven's history to not relapse.

It's not about kicking someone when they're down.  It's the reality of the disease.

If Steven is not involved in some of these shows its a pretty sad day. If it is about money I am confident eventually enough guilt will set in on Axl, Slash, and Duff to throw him a bone and get him up there for a few AFD trackd. A fan should make a Go Fund Me for Steven and Izzy. Let us pay them the money they deserve to show up. I'd contribute for sure.
