| Adler
Trashes Axl |
BW&BK reports: Former GUNS N' ROSES drummer
Steven Adler (ADLER'S APPETITE) recently called into The Hairball John
Radio Show to talk about a new Adler's Appetite vocalist and their recent
EP. Adler also shared some great memories regarding Guns N' Roses' glory
days as well as his very personal view regarding the yet to be released
Chinese Democracy.
Hairball John: "Steven, in your opinion,
do you think we will ever see Chinese Democracy, Axl Rose's new version
of Guns N' Roses, hit the streets?"
Steven Adler: "If you do, God bless Axl.
That's all I can say, is God bless him. I think he should get his head
out of his ass, and I think we should put the band back together because
that's what the fans want. I know Izzy and Slash and Duff would totally
do it. It's just a matter of Axl. You know I hope he puts this record out
and it does what he wants it to do and I hope he lives happily ever after,
the Jackass! No, I'm kidding." [see full story for more]-
