Did Axl ever like Steven Adler?

[Carlos Gunner]

It seems to me Axl can not stand Steven, at least now, but did he ever like Steven?
Was there a real reason to fire Steven?
Matt said it, truly firing Steven for doing drugs, when everyone was doing drugs
Then What really happened?

I once read Steven was more popular amongst women, and Axl did not like it, is this true?

Axl was the only member of the band who visited Steven at the hospital when he O.D.'d in 1988.

the. only. guy. of. the. damn. band.

that said, there's the story where's Adler allegedly give Axl's girlfriend speedball or whatever,
I suppose it changed the whole dynamic between the two.

I see, it is much more complicated than I thought.
