If this was intentional, and related to not being part of GNR, it's a good reason why he's not part of GNR.

Izzy probably still wouldn’t have been part of it given the whole “loot” situation, and I doubt Gilby would’ve ever been invited back as a full member. but, in any case, how a band “looks” shouldn’t matter, and even if Matt was given the full-time slot instead of Frank, the band probably would’ve still invited Steven for a few guest spots out of guilt/ pity. Hell, they probably would’ve felt even more compelled to do so, since Matt was the guy who took Steven’s gig last time. Maybe Steven would’ve ended up in even worse shape if he he had to live with seeing Matt in his place, instead of Frank. Who knows! well, when either one of us says something - it is just our 2 cents. Neither of us knows the guy personally, so...what I can say, the band never sounded better than in his era. all his former members either in GNR or The Cult seem to like him for decades and always reach back to him (Snakepit, VR, Neurotic outsiders, Izzy Stradlin now, The Cult had him on board a few times...), I doubt they would be reaching back for so many years if the guy was a negative person or an asshole. Apart from the fact he was the member during Gunners prime, I respect him for standing up for Slash and trying to save the band when Duff stood silent in 1997. For me, those two things are enough for him to be my first choice. On the sidenote...one thing nobody seemed to recognize. We know for a fact Adler was at the rehersals and Iz was not. At RNR HOF, Adler was present and Iz was not. Knowing how spooked Iz is of junkies, maybe there is more to that story other than loot. Just sayin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t like Matt as a drummer all that much, personally, but I guess that falls more to personal taste on my part, than anything else.

Independant if it comes from Iz, Matt, Adler, Gilby or additional members Teddy, Roberta, Tracy... Although, Gilby did tell me once Slash picked up Kerri Kelli from Gilby's band to Snakepit though he did know the guy played with Gilby and Gilby had more plans with him...

I mean, we really don't know the details of their relationships behind the scenes and it's not like they're obligated to like or care about Adler if they don't - which he would have played a role in. But if they cared enough to throw home some pity appearances on tour they probably care enough to send him a get well text or phone call. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember Slash's brother reaction about them and Adler once the wheels were set in motion... when it comes down to empathy, there is so little to be found in this band like in no other. I mean, if you invite Adler to come down and play a song all the way to South America and he doesn't fuck up, you might as well give him 3-4, right? Fact is, once they sobered up, the only thing people in this band care about is money. Axl is excluded, he is a lunatic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt people use that as amo. More like as a valid point why Adler is not in the band. Knowing his history, it is hard to think this was not involving drugs some way or another. Steve always had unstable personality and it is hard to be in a big touring band with someone like that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post El Guapo Posted June 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2019 This is stupid. We absolutely don't know if they called him or texted him, whatever.

Axl was there when Duff was in hospital, if I'm not mistaken, he bailed Slash out and I do think he reached out to Steven as well at some point. He doesn't make a big deal about it though. It's the others saying he did that stuff. So it would be completely out of character of him to tweet about this. Plus, if we believe Steven's family, he's alright. So it would make a small accident into something huge if GNR posted it on social media. If I'm in hospital, I'd rather have someone call me or text me personally than to post it on social media so everyone can see what a great person I am. Average fans like us can only reach out to him on social media, but I'm sure those guys have other ways to reach Steven personally. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, considering part of the reasoning on why Steven isn't in the reunion was always how undependable he is, this "incident" surely won't help matters in that departament.

Gunsdrummer63 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 This might be me just holding out hope, but maybe they want to wait and see what the actual cause was before they release a statement or message....maybe I'm just overly optimistic today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
