Padme Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Good for Adler. But again Scott Weiland, at least these guys were smart enough not to issue a press release about it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooker Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 What is Adler's definition of sober? No booze or any type of drug? I knew he was side stepping cutting out some of these things in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stella Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 He's been "one year sober" so many times that it's just sad at this point. As someone else mentioned, let us know when it's ten years. Or twenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val22 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I'm so happy for Steven. I hope he can stay sober and continue to make music and be happy. He deserves to be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockerRoller Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) I had a friend who once met steven Adler and talked to him about how adler was staying sober and fighting hard but he still smoked a bunch of weed. Now don't get me wrong I love smoking weed myself, but I would never go around saying I was a sober person...

SoNobodyToldYaBaby Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I had a friend who once met steven Adler and talked to him about how adler was staying sober and fighting hard but he still smoked a bunch of weed. Now don't get me wrong I love smoking weed myself, but I would never go around saying I was a sober person...If weed helps him not go back to dangerous drugs then yeah i count that as being sober. Weed won't kill him but heroin will. He probably uses it as medication not because he's addicted to it there's a big difference.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR DOOM Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 He'll always be the best drummer GNR ever had, he may not be Dennis Chambers or anything but he was perfect for that band.I wish him all the best, it's easy to take the piss out of the guy but go fuck yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) People saying call me when it's 20 years.... just be happy for him... Doesn't cost you anything.

Ragnar Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) I don`t hear "groove" or "swing" in Steven`s drumming, all I hear is a dated and cheesy hair metal sound. Edited March 12, 2015 by Dark Knight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
