ludurigan Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 now thats fun Steven Adler Seeking Out Stories of His Past for New Book Chad Childers 16 hours ago Steven Adler has led a colorful life, but one that due to his well documented issues with excess has left his mind a little bit cloudy. However, that's not stopping the onetime Guns N' Roses drummer from working on a new book about his past that he's given the clever title, Steven Adler: The S--t My Friends Remember I Did. Adler revealed the book project to us on the red carpet at the Bowl for Ronnie fundraiser in Los Angeles Friday night (Oct. 6). “I’m putting a book together called Steven Adler: The S—t My Friends Remember I Did. Because now that I’m sober I’m hearing all these stories of things I did and I’m completely blank. So all my friends are telling me stories and so I started a website called Steven Adler Stories and if you have a story where we’ve ever met anywhere around the world, it should be no less that 20 words and no more than 125 words. That’s how you can be a part of my history." "Girls, there are plenty of girls around the world that I have to apologize to. I was drinking and using and I would say and do things that I would not normally do," says Adler, who adds with a smile, "So be gentle.” FULL STORY = http://loudwire.com/steven-adler-stories-of-past-new-book/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gackt Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Why does everyone need to write a book these days? Just start a youtube channel and do Q&A's that way, make vlogs. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlterL Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) Didn't some guy recently claimed he smoked some weed with Adler not to long ago? If so then maybe he isn't as sober as he claims he is. Edited October 11, 2017 by AlterL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His past addictions were more so illegal drugs and drinking. I really hope Adler doesn’t put anything in this book that (further) damages his relationship with this incarnation of Guns, although the damage may already be done with his mother’s last release. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tourettes2400 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 It sounds like a fun book. It is obvious he is doing this for the money. While the big 3 sit around making a shitload of money he probably feels like he should get what he can while GnR is "hot" again. He is not being included on the big pay day, so I can't knock him for getting what he can get. I won't buy it but I might download it lol. 1 hour ago, AlterL said: Didn't some guy recently claimed he smoked some weed with Adler not to long ago?

I guess when you have been strung out sucking dick for crack and heroin weed is nothing lol. As long as he can smoke a joint and keep it at that I say more power to him.

I love you Steven! Keep being healthy and rock on! “I’m just enjoying my life. Every morning I wake up healthy and not sick, I just want to thank God for the beautiful day," said Adler. "All I care about is the moment.” What a fuckin' legend! Utter respect... Edited October 11, 2017 by scooby845 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some pretty cool stories.. One was that he didn't even know he was on Live Era so I played a the songs for him. Another was him, my two cousins and myself hanging out smoking and listening to tunes in my car.. He was saying how much he loved the song "Draw The Line". I knew I had it loaded into my 6 CD changer (was awhile ago lol) and exactly which CD and track. I put it on and cranked it.. We were all drinking.. I was a bit younger and it was so surreal. I was so jacked up that I punched my windshield while rocking out making it spider web and crack, Had to get it replaced.. I actually have a bunch more of memories.. Ya know... People talk a lot of shit about that dude. I don't "know" Steven but got to hang out with him a couple times for a few hours.. I have to say that in that short time you could tell he was one of the nicest, sincere, genuine and most gracious people out there. I probably will write something up and send it to him..

Dude that's great! Thanks a lot for sharing these stories! But what I expected to hear from you is - HOW did you manage as an average regular fan (no disrespect intended) to get THAT close to Steven? I mean HOW did you meet him THAT many times (was it VIP or Meet and Greet) and how did he agree to come to the car with you? Did Steven remember you after a few times? It seems really unbelievable - at least from my perspective cause I never met any GNR member in person...

It seems really unbelievable - at least from my perspective cause I never met any GNR member in person... It really wasn't that off the wall and it was only two times. He was basically playing at a bar at that time.. I don't remember the details but I said something to him while he was waiting to go on and we started talking.. We hit it off so I offered him to partake in some killer Bud I had.. He had to play so we went out during intermission.. I remember time getting away from us as we were all puffing and having a beer that his band had to come looking for him when it was time to go back on.. After the show we partied for a couple hours and that was when we were hanging out near/in my car puffing drinking and cranking tunes and smashing my windshield He was playing somewhat close a couple nights later so I decided to go with my Uncle.. It was a little bit bigger of a place. He saw me during one of the first songs and pointed and gave the universal puffing a joint symbol. When the song was over he jumped off the stage and gave me a hug.. He was kind of sweaty and I was a bit taken a back but it was cool lol.. Somehow we ended up outside after the main set.. Probably smoking a cigarette.. He was the first person I ever saw smoke American spirits. I remember him getting sick.. Dunno if he was dope sick or what but the lady he was with started telling us and everyone around him to leave.. He told her that we were cool and could stay.. I remember her saying that they were just going to call the show before the encore because he was sick.. You could here the people inside chanting.. He was like "fuck that that, I'm going into finish".. He went back in and did a killer encore.. I think they started with an AC/DC song... After the show he invited us "backstage" which was actually the downstairs of the club.. There was a good amount of people down there. I remember him having a wheelchair down there that he was sitting in.. Between that and the getting sick it was kind of sad.. But we were still hanging and smoking.. The dude loved his weed and I had some good shit!! So we were all hanging out.. He was sitting in the corner in his wheelchair and I remember him slapping the bag of weed out of my hand.. I was like sorry that is all I have left.. I dunno what I was thinking but I thought he was trying to take it or something.. What was really happening was the cops were coming down the stairs to break up the party an he was trying to help me from getting arrested. That was it, the cops kicked everyone but the band out real quick and I felt like a total douche bag for thinking he was trying to take my weed.. I did reach out to him on facebook once to apologize and he responded.. He was totally cool, understood and asked me if I got my windshield fixed.. Well that is the short version. Some stuff I left out and some I forgot since I was hammerfaced both nights.. I do have some cool memories and a drum stick that he gave me though.. He also put "Draw The Line" on an EP he has shortly after that and I like to think that night influenced that in some way I also met Slash twice too... One of the times he shot the shit with us for like 10 or 15 minutes and signed my LIES cassette sleeve.. I didn't get to "hang out" with him either time but they were still great memories and he was totally cool.

Houndfan Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 As much as I'd love to see a new book from Steven I wonder who will come forward with who knows what. How will he authenticate these stories? These days you have people surfacing 40 years later and claiming someone famous did something to them in an attempt to gain money or fame. Wouldn't want to see him have trouble from someone shady. He's doing so well and it's great seeing him getting out and playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverburst80 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) Is there anything worse than the day after a big night a friend turning and saying to you " sooooo do you remember what you did last night?''.

Surely this won't be one book, Steven could easily release a trilogy. What's worse is the friend that lives in the past and won't shut up about it. There's a great Chris Rock quote from one of his 90's standup specials that feels relevant here: "Relationships: easy to get in to, hard to maintain. Why are they so hard to maintain? Cause people stop talkin'. Why? 'Cause at a certain point you have heard everything this person has to say and it makes you sick to your stomach. You know what they gonna say before it even comes out of their mouth and you just wanna stab them in the neck with a pencil...they're like, "Remember that time?" "Yeah I remember that time...stop tellin' me the same shit over and over! Why don't you go out and get kidnapped and have some new shit happen to you?" The story of Steven and Slash's relationship essentially. Edited October 11, 2017 by RONIN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we aren't going to get multiple books about it like nikki six. Money and relevance I suppose now that Guns is huge again. He's embracing the mythology of him being the ultimate fuck-up party animal that got kicked out of the most dangerous band in the world because he was too wild. That's cool when you're in your 20's or even 30's. Not when you're 50 something like Steven. He had a glorious past but this stuff is sort of like the uncle we all have that won't stop talking about their glory days in high school when they were the star athlete. None of the guys celebrate their excess to the level Steven does. How many interviews do Gilby or even Matt give about the wild debauchery of the Illusion tour? Steven seems to revel in that stuff.
