Silent Jay Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 Hey Steven! Love ya, man! What's your favorite GnR song to play [–]steven_deanna_adler[S] 1 point Steven: Every single one of them. I still play the ones that I recorded the demo tapes I helped write on "Use Your Illusion". At least 12, 13 of those. I'll still practice to those because I love them so much, but obviously, I play em my way, which is the right way. Deanna: Steven is the greatest drummer in the world. He is my king. He is the best. Steven: I'm the biggest asshole you're ever gonna fuckin meet. [laughter] Deanna: No son, don't say that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Questions, always questions with this band... There's no questions...he clearly says only if D(Izzy) is involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 2 minutes ago, Silent Jay said: ey Steven! I have a few, hopefully simple, quick questions. Why do they call you Steven 'Popcorn' Adler? Is it cause you're energetic, and bounce up and down when you're beating on the drums? And Will you be joining GNR for a larger portion of the NITL Tour? Rather than a few appearances here and there? Those are my two questions that I had to ask. Ps you fucking rock dude much love [–]steven_deanna_adler[S] 1 point Steven: I think that's what Axl was thinking. We played that show at the Ritz that was live on MTV one night and he introduced me as Steven Popcorn Adler. That one and only time. He would always introduce me as Steven California Indica Bud Adler. I'm a big pot smoker. So, that one night that it happened to be live on TV, out of nowhere he just called me popcorn and it just stuck. I think it was like when I play my hair bounces up and down. Like popcorn popping in a machine. I don't know. He's insane. I don't know why the hell he did it. It just happened. He just called me that. Deanna: I never like that, by the way. I never liked that. Steven: I had a great time last year doing the couple shows that I got to do with them, but it was everything that I thought it was going to be. It was the complete opposite. If it was going be just the five original guys with Dizzy and Axl, Slash, and Duff and myself, then yes I will, but otherwise, it's not the magic and it's not fair to the fans. Me and Dizzy actually really do wanna be a part of it.

Spirit Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 It seems to be a third person writing out the answers for Steven and his mom. Notice in the one answer he writes [laughter]. Probably misheard "Izzy" as "Dizzy". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one enters into that agreement willingly then it's not actually censorship. Not everything is Team Brazil's fault lol LOL! Who you think came up with that idea/agreement when in the past Slash, Duff and Steven have been so open and communicative with everyone? Anyways, I like his and Deanna's advice to people entering recovery after years of addiction. You are who you hang around with, don't hang out with addicts, be patient and never give up. I'm so happy to see him doing great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoSoRose Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Shitty day for GNR. Wish he answered the real stuff then. Ive loved the "reunion" tour but the more I think about it, I think it is shameful how they treated Izzy and Steven. They should be at every show on every AfD song if they wanted. I do think Ill sit out the 2017 legs of the grand nostalgia train. Loved the past shows last year, and will go if they are near me, but fuck traveling. I also doubt we will ever hear a new GNR song again. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so happy to see him doing great. An agreement is an agreement and I don't know who, I wasn't there. Were you? Maybe it was Axls idea...or maybe it was Slash and/or Duff...or Melissa. Point is if they all agreed to it, it's irrelevant as you have to agree o something and it's not censorship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be surprised if we get the Appetite For Destruction tour in 2018 with thte OG-5. If Axl's never going to release an album again, they'll have to mix it up somehow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he agreed to avoid the subject, then he should be promoting the book another way Well, he has a life outside GnR, he's living it now.

Top-Hatted One Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Then again this is the band that doesn't show up to its own Hall of Fame induction. So they may do a AFD30 on the 37th year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tajandreas Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Absolutely love his answers so far. And I'm glad he answered about the reunion which mirrors most of ours feelings about it. It's nice and all but not what we all expected. Judging by his answer it sounds like he put his foot down and won't be performing w/ them anymore unless it's the original 5 which I totally support. This actually gives me some good closure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
