Babooshka Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I don't want to believe that he'll return, it's such a let down when you get your hopes up and stuff doesn't happen. I feel like they're dangling the AfD line-up in front of us to keep this reunion interesting. Even if you're prepared to give the hybrid line-up a chance, how can you when the possibility of Steven and Izzy returning is looming in the background. It's crazy to think that the only reason Frank is here, is because Steven did his back in. I'm now starting to believe that Steven's return could be permanent, not just a guest spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom-Ass Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Out Ta Get Me was so good the other night.. It is scary to think how good it would be with this guy behind the kit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunder120 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Even if it's just a guest spot, a situation where he probably has to earn the trust of the rest of the band, we should all be happy. If he comes out and plays a block of appetite songs on this tour ID be more than happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Stick four or five Appetite songs in the encore and have Steven come out and play. Saves the switching drummers all night and gives him a nice special chunk of the show. He looks great! That said, I don't want to get my hopes up yet. So many people did that with the Izzy situation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom-Ass Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 If he is hanging around maybe Frank will pick up a thing or two on playing Guns songs with the right feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Adler put it down on a family member of yours? You are always downing the guy. If you are a GNR fan and not just a fan of anyone Axl hires,then Adler deserves respect. Nobody thinks he'll be the permanent drummer but most old school GNR fans want him and Izzy out for a guest spot now and then. They both deserve at least that much. I'm sure Ferrer and Fortus would agree on that. Edited April 26, 2016 by Subtle Signs 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedrolg Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Mitch Lafon is a cunt who frequently throws news out there as some sorte of exclusive information, teases, lies, and then shamelessly backtracks afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby845 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I hate reiterating myself through various threads regarding the same topic, but is no one considering the scenario in which Steven plays all AFD songs and Civil War and Patience (as he said he is okay with second drummer - thinking of Matt - as long as he opens and closes the show), and thus he will be fresh and rested throughout the tour... and then there's Frank to cover everything else... I'm not saying anything revolutionary, it just seems so surreal the people are speculating all the possible situations and the most simple and obvious and feasible one lies in front of our faces...

MillionsOfSpiders Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I can't see why Steven Adler can't play on all gnr songs. I bet he could and would do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychoKiss344 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 What I find odd is that if it is true that he was rehearsing with the band and was supposed to play these April dates why wouldn't he have played at least the second Coachella show but then was ready to go with Adler the next weekend? Also I want him to be part of the summer tour but that would be a horrible way to promote the tour with warm up shows with a totally different drummer, I would be pissed if I went to one of the first shows without him...then he shows up for the rest of the tour! At the end of the day I just want to see Adler playing AFD songs, it would be awesome just watching how happy the dude would be playing with Axl, Slash & Duff.

I'm sure Ferrer and Fortus would agree on that. What does he deserve? He was the drummer for one album and got himself thrown out six years before the rest of the band imploded. He spent 25 years whining about it and blaming everyone but himself for his own predicament while occasionally making an intoxicated fool of himself. He's been on again off again sober as recently as 2013, when Duff gave him a chance to open for Loaded on tour and he went off on a bender. What has he done since 1990 to earn the chance to be part of the current band? The guy's erratic, he's unreliable and he could cause a number of problems when things seem to be going smoothly. He's just not worth the risk and it's his own fault - not Axl's, not Slash's, not Duff's, his own. Edited April 26, 2016 by Modano09 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set aside the album for a second. Live gigs whooped ass too and Adler was a big part of that. All 5 of them were amazing together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because (according to Lafon) he got injured on the 2nd day of rehearsals so as he barely got to rehearse with the band, they decided to play these first few shows without him and then rehearse with him in may. This might not be the reason but it would make sense to me if it was. 5 minutes ago, Modano09 said: What does he deserve?

He toured the world several times and lately released a killer album with his band ADLER. He's been erratic off stage but, unlike Frank Ferrer, he's always been rock solid on stage and he's been the most reliable guy in the world when it came to playing Appetite For Destruction. You have all the right in the world to consider him a risk and to prefer he's not included, yet reminding his addiction problems a hundred times and making "jokes" about it doesn't seem to be the classiest thing... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintari Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) If Steven could play all those GNR shows back in the 80's while fucked out of his mind, I don't think there's much risk in him playing the shows now.
