Steven [Adler] talks to Axl [Rose]... want's GUNS N' ROSES to re-unite.

taken from Steve's myspace blog

Tuesday, February 13, 2007

STEVEN: I saw Axl, talked with him from, shit, what was it? 10 or 12 at night to 8 in the morning, we talked. We resolved a lot of fucking shit!

FANSITE: What was that like? That must've been weird!

STEVEN: It was wonderful! Just wonderful. I was the same happy-go-lucky person that I've always been to him, and he enjoyed it. Dude we talked 'till 8 in the morning!

FANSITE: Wow.

STEVEN: It was at The HardRock, when he played there.

FANSITE: Did you see the show?

STEVEN: Yeah…three people in his band all look like Izzy! I told him it sucked, I was kidding. I said "You know the five of us have to get back together! That's when it will really fucking take off again! Nothing will be bigger. It would be the biggest reunion ever in history".

FANSITE: What did he say?

STEVEN: You know how he is. He just grinned and giggled a little bit. Everybody in his band came up to me, "You're the greatest fucking drummer! We tell Axl, 'you gotta get the band back together'!" That's what they said to HIM! It was wonderful! ...

FANSITE: ... what else is goin' on?

STEVEN: Um, I've been talking with Izzy. I've been talking with Slash. 20 years, dude, since Appetite came out. Axl's record is supposed to come out, in what, a few months?

FANSITE: Yeah, hopefully.

STEVEN: Izzy wants a reunion. I know what I need to do...

...and that was it. Of course I wanted to dig a bit more! But I hope you appreciate this little tidbit, and, as always, I'll keep you updated as often as possible!

should be around May. The album is done, it's in the mixing stages.

Unless Axl cancels it, and starts all over again with GUNS N' Fuckin' ROSES!!!

Adler? He was kicked out of the band because he was a junkie who couldn't even play properly on Use Your Illusion. Years later he tried resurfacing and started some band called "Adler's Appetite" (get it?). He always tries kissing Axl's ass in interviews but fails to realize that Guns N' Roses could have a reunion with Sorum instead of him and fans would be fully satisfied. He gives himself more credit than he deserves.

Steven was just on the new Surreal life as a judge, he looked pretty messed up; I'm not sure he would be able to make and album or even tour.

Gee I wonder why a guy whose musical career ended almost 20 years ago would want to reunite with his old band.

Huge GNR fan and I couldn't give two shits about Adler. If I had a choice between the two I would probably pick Sorum at this point since he has played with the rest of the band (minus Axl and Izzy) more at this point.

He does look quite different. He had a stroke from doing too much blow. I don't know if it affected his appearance or what, but I didn't recognize him when I saw him after all these years. Oh well, with Velvet Revolver and the new GnR album, Adler is one of the few members that's not getting rich nowadays.

Adler Holding Out Hope For Guns N' Roses Reunion

With the big "Appetite For Destruction" 20th anniversary show behind him, original Guns N' Roses drummer Steven Adler is looking forward to taking his Adler's Appetite band worldwide. But he's also holding out hope for a blowout reunion bash with his former bandmates.

"I believe I made it this far for some reason," Adler tells Billboard.com. "I want to finish what we started, and ... with the love and support I got from those guys, I think we can (reunite). I'm gonna leave it up to Axl [Rose]. That's gonna be Axl's call, and I love Axl and I know he'll make the right call."

At Saturday's (July 28th) show at West Hollywood's Key Club, Adler and company were joined by Gunners Izzy Stradlin and Duff McKagan, while guitarist Slash watched a few songs before leaving for a prior commitment. The group is next headed to South America for a series of shows in Argentina, Peru and Chile before returning home to play the Vegas Rocks magazine party on Aug. 11 in Las Vegas. More dates in South America and Europe are in the offing.

"We're gonna be busy working until pretty much Christmas, which I'm excited about," he says. "I love playing live, especially for people who love the music and appreciate it and show nothing but love to me and respect. I love it, and I give it all back."

Adler started Appetite about six years ago, but it's become a more serious concern during the past year, since he got sober and put together a lineup that includes Enuff Z'Nuff bassist Chip Z'Nuff, guitarists Michael Thomas from Faster Pussycat and Kristy "Krash" Majors frrom Pretty Boy Floyd, and singer Colby Veil from the GNR tribute band Hollywood Roses. "There's only one Axl," Z'nuff notes, "but (Veil) comes close, and all the Guns N' Roses guys love him."

The Key Club show was filmed and recorded for a possible release, and the Adler's Appetite members are also writing songs with plans to record and release an album in 2008. "I think we can make a great record," says Z'Nuff, adding that all of Adler's GNR bandmates have expressed interest in playing on it. "It takes a little while to make a great record and to get all them great players to come down and play."
