His band, Adler, recently released debut album Back From The Dead. He says the new music has led audiences to stop expecting him to perform a set of GnR classics, and call for more of his new material.

He tells Legendary Rock Interviews: "That is my revenge. The only revenge I wanted on that whole situation was success. I didn't want vengeance � I didn't want to hurt anybody � but I wanted to make a great record because, I think success is the greatest revenge."
