The interview is broken up into two segments, first half is GNR related stuff and second half is about his Mom's stuff and his art, etc. I just summarized GNR related stuff - There was a metal show episode where Steven Adler popped out of a cake for Eddie - Steven was supposed to be on the same bowling team as Eddie Trunk but he couldn't play since he went to Argentina. - He only saw Axl for 10 seconds during all the shows he played. He told Axl he loved him and hugged him and didnt get to have real connection time with Axl. - Said Frank is a wonderful guy and great drummer. He said he was disappointed standing on the side of the stage watching the guys play. He was disappointed flying 15000 miles to play one song. As you guys know Steven put on a private show at the Roxy in Argentina, he played 3 hours show - January 2, 2016 and Slash and Duff both texted Steven that they both wanted to get together and talk to him. Steven went to Duff's house and had him sign a contract just so he could talk to them. - In March he came down to rehearsal and second rehearsal he got a pinched nerve in his lower back. He was only out for 10 days. He was ready to go for the Troubadour show, but Duff told him no you are not going to be part of the show. . - Literally a day before cincinnati shows Duff called him to come to be part of the Cincinatti and Nashville shows. - He said it was not going to be the same as it was 25 years because not having Izzy there and only playing 1-2 songs it was hurtful and heartbreaking for him. Richard is a great guitar play and he think Richard looks like Izzy. - Either Australia, Japan or Thailand he said he's not flying that far to only play a couple songs. - Steven said he got a couple bucks from the GNR camp. Fernando was covering that. - He said he feels so much better because he got closure and he can move forward. - Steven asked why he couldn't play more. HE said he tried playing another song but they turned the sound off. - He said Fernando is a good guy and hopefully has some good ideas for 30 year anniversary. - He said he spoke to Izzy. He said Izzy hasn't been involved because he wants to do it the right way with the original 5 guys or not at all. He said Izzy is the greatest guy he's ever met and still in touch with him. He said he'll ask Izzy to talk to Eddie Trunk. - He wouldn't rule out sharing stage with GNR provided it's done right. He wouldn't mind sharing stage with Frank, but he wants to play more songs. - He said he doesn't care for Chinese Democracy Songs - He said he wanted to Push Frank down the stairs one night so he could play a full show but he couldn't because Frank is such a great guy. - Stage manager Tom Mayhue assigned two songs to Steven. He said he only rehearsed with band at two original rehearsals and it was only Duff and Slash at rehearsal. Only time he had interaction with Melissa and Richard. He said the reason Melissa and Richard fit in is because Axl doesn't want to see anybody. Very nice people, very quiet. - Won't be touring with his side project Adler anytime soon. Sick of playing small venues but if he gets into an already established band he'll get back on stage. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibson87 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Pretty clear now that Steven isn't involved with the band anymore considering how much he's shared recently 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Jay Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Steven needs to troll the band a little bit more. He's been treated like a piece a shit and they're making hundreds of millions of dollars behind his back and Izzys. It's going to happen at one point, but you can see they're running this corporate rock band like mobsters. 39 minutes ago, sidman69 said: - He said it was not going to be the same as it was 25 years because not having Izzy there and only playing 1-2 songs it was hurtful and heartbreaking for him.

I think he just means they're good employees that don't rock the boat and just do their job without alot of fuss. What a weird way for a band to operate. Not much has really changed has it? Axl still keeps to himself with the band separate from him until they all share a stage together to play a gig.

Employees. That's the way he likes it. Partners OTOH... have the right to voice disagreements on a band's direction and management. I'm not sure why I follow this band, maybe because I still have hopes one day things'll change for the better. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RONIN Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Expect more of the same given the blockbuster success of this tour. They don't need Izzy and Steven, especially since new music from GnR is a myth like dry land in Waterworld. Like silent Jay said, these sellouts are running their corporate rock band like the mob. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post beautifulanddamned Posted February 23, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2017 Well, Appetite 30 was a nice thought. Fernando will probably buy some balloons or a cake to celebrate. Axl decided that Slash was a cancer and held onto it for twenty years, he decided a reunion would only work with Slash and Duff and he'll hold onto that for another twenty years. Best case scenario? They all get onstage together for Appetite 50. They can each sit on their own individual thrones and be pushed around by the models they'll be paying to be at the show. Anything Goes will be hilarious. We'll all still be on these boards fighting about how Axl sounded better in 2017 and how dumb Duff's leather diaper looks . 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tour isn't a "blockbuster" success though. It's a success, but not blockbuster. Further, this is it. You get one at it like these based on the past. Once this run is over this is over or they need a new record or the original 5. Otherwise they downgrade to arenas for a run, then theaters. You can't tour on nostalgia alone consistently. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerInThisTown Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) An AFD5 reunion just isn't important to Axl. It just sucks for us fans because even if it happens at all it will probably happen when they are all in their 60s and it's gonna be really lame and I don't think Slash and Duff are to blame for that, but Axl. He has no interest in meeting Izzys conditions, he will want to keep playing CD songs, and he had no intention of rebonding with Steven. Oh well atleast Steven got something out of this at all.

gnr5 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 All I came to say is that it sucks that Axl is such an a-hole. Going to the Miami show and that will be it for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnumpi Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Axl, slash, and duff have the right and ability to operate as they see fit. And I have the right to have zero interest in their operation. It's the AFD5 or nothing for me. And if someone wants to view it differently then fine. I have more important things to worry about. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, Kiss ran on nostalgia from 1996-2000 with the originals and were playing stadiums, I believe Guns could have a longer run. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
