That was one of the best performances of that song by any of the Gunners in several years. Certainly better than any NITL rendition. Steven brings so much life to the music, and that singer sounds more like classic Axl, than Axl does.

The singer is Ari Kamin. He's from Argentina and is a powerful singer.

My head is spinning, and I feel quite ill. I'm so so so grateful that despite the vague, misleading, clickbaity headlines/articles, at least all agree that the wound is not life-threatening and he will be ok. I love Steven with all my heart, and I couldn't stand for anything to happen to him. 

TMZ has an update that his rep said it was a minor, superficial accidental wound, and that he will perform on 12 July. https://www.tmz.com/2019/06/27/guns-n-roses-steven-adler-drummer-stab-himself-hospital/   On the one hand, I find that very encouraging; on the other, I'm freaking out bc I'd rather he rested, healed, and didn't push himself. 

I really hope the references to suicide are just tabloids being tabloids. I'm so worried because Steven has attempted suicide before. This is particularly heartbreaking as he was doing so well of late. What is even more upsetting is that rather than showing a little compassion, some fans are using this against him to call him a liability and justify the decision to keep him out of the tour. There are things in this world more important than money. 

 

Well said. I couldn’t agree more. Just hoping he can be happy and healthy. This is so awful for his wife and family too.

I’m so sad to hear about this. I hope Steven can recover soon and feel better about himself.

She's the bass player. Duffette.

Her name is Tanya O Callaghan.

The point is you can put Axl Rose on a shirt because he's Axl Rose and people know/care who he is. You could put Alder on a shirt, have Alder wear it and put "my name is Steve Adler" on the back and people would still wonder who he is. 

This reminds me of the Peanuts Christmas cartoon where Linus is playing Beethoven on his piano and Lucy asks him "If Beethoven was so great how come his picture isn't on a bubblegum card"?

I've got an Adler shirt and a newer Steven shirt with the skull design. I didn't get them at the mall or at Sear's. If somebody asks me who Steven is I'll bring them up to speed with no

thought that the mall determines worthiness. Think of the best food you've ever had. Did you get it at the food court in the mall?

Well the dude obviously doesn't need to be wearing the 1988 Axl leather pants and snakeskin boots.. That was cheesy but I thought they actually sounded pretty damn good for what it was. Was that the same band he just had with that other singer Constantino or whatever his name was? I don't think I watched more than two songs from him. I don't remember a female bassist.. Anyway, I would go check them out in a club if they came around here for sure. 

Besides Ari Kamin being the new singer(last singer was American Idol's Constantine Maroulis) Michael Thomas is still the guitarist. Carl Restivo and Sean McNabb are gone. Sean McNabb seemed to want to focus on

his acting career as he had posted a pic of himself with a short haircut on Instagram saying he'd have a better chance of getting different acting roles with the haircut. Tanya OCallaghan is the bassist now. Alistair James is 

the rhythm guitarist. As for Constantine, it looks like he wanted to do more Broadway type shows. He did a show with a symphony orchestra in Utah.

Steven Adler posted on his Facebook page that he has a new band for his upcoming Las Vegas show on August 24.  Ari Kamin is now the band's singer. Tanya O Callaghan will be on bass. Michael Thomas will still be in the band

but there was no mention of Sean McNabb. I've seen clips of Ari Kamin singing GnR songs with Steven drumming at the Roxy show in Buenos Aires 2016 and he sounds great! I posted a clip of them doing "Rocket Queen" on my Instagram page

@houndfan2  That's my Steven Adler fan page. If you want to see other clips there are some on YouTube also.

P.S. Looks like most of my post above has been quoted by Brett Buchanan on AlternativeNation.net except he didn't say it was a quote. It's just my post word for word in the first paragraph of what he wrote under

the title "Guns N Roses Member Appears to Fire Singer". This is a stretch because we don't know if Constantine was fired or quit.

I love Stevens drumming and he has good intentions, but I could see how he could get overwhelming. The constant turnover in his bands over the years is proof to that. Nothing that Steven is involved in goes smoothly or lasts long.

Turnover could be for different reasons. Constantine seems to want to go in a different direction. Adler's Appetite was scheduled to play the Wacken festival in Germany,but cancelled.That same day Constantine was 

singing with an orchestra in Utah.  Wacken would've given more exposure to fans-80,000 at Wacken. McNabb has been doing more acting. Was in a Lifetime channel movie recently and posted a pic of himself on Instagram with shorter

hair which he said would give him more of a variety of acting roles.

Yes that's him. Glad you posted that clip.

Interesting interview. Good questions, but it seems we learned more from what was not said. No questions about Steven. Nothing said about trying to get a real reunion, except the reference to the failed attempt to get Izzy 

for that.

I just wanted to add a little about the ride for Ronnie shows. All bands that played were experiencing audio problems. I'm fully supportive of Steven being successful again in a band. I was at the front of stage and when Constantine first started singing I thought, hmmm not too bad. Now here's where he started to lose me. While he was singing he started doing the Axl snake dance....... that's when I said to myself noooooooooo, you're getting way too close to Axl, you can't do that and expect to succeed. That completely turned me off.

I am going to the VIP friends and family private show tonight to give it one more chance. This will most likely influence my decision on this band and whether or not I will attend the show on Thursday or sell my tickets. Here's hoping for Steven that things go well and Constantine doesn't drive this band into the ground. Also the female bass player isn't a member of Stevens band, she's just a fill in.

I wouldn’t miss tomorrow night’s show and got a ticket for that as soon as it was announced. But if you decided you didn’t want to go to tonight’s VIP friends and family show I would love to have a ticket to that. I travelled from Northern CA to be able to see these shows. Please consider it

Figured I'd make a thread for all Steven Adler fans and the upcoming show.

Note: If it was a regular show I wouldn't make it, but this is AFD Anniversary performance and I think it would be nice to let those of us who are supporting Steven in his endeavors enjoy songs we haven't been able to hear played properly for over 30 years!!! Such as Think About You, You're Crazy and Anything Goes... And last but not the least - Rocket Queen... 

Another thing - Slash son's band is opening, so Slash's appearance is 99% confirmed and the chance of him joining Steven on stage is... I'd say 63%.

Let's have fun!! 

Rock on STEVEN!! 

 

I’m really looking forward to a great show. Steven’s performance at Ride to Ronnie was top notch. Classless Act looked like all their practice paid off with a tight show. Saw Derek Day, their lead singer at Ultimate Jam Night yesterday at the Whisky. He was just on guitar for that, but still was fun to watch and dynamic.

As for Constantine, he’s just starting to sing this new material and may need to adjust his style to fit the songs. Not an impossible goal.

Steven is drumming on a song with Willie Jones called “Runs in our Blood” and I’ve seen a small part of the video directed by Ryan Francis. It’s got a release date on May 18. I’m excited to see him working with other artists on new music.

Please don’t expect Slash to show up as he’s going to be doing a benefit show in Seattle the same day.

Steven Adler will play at Wacken for the very first time. The former Guns n´Roses drummer is reforming his band Adler`s Appetite to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Appetite for Destruction with us.

http://www.wacken.com/en/news/news/news-detail/new-bands-for-woa-2018-ensiferum-skindred-and-many-more/

Where is Wacken being held? Looked on the website and couldn't find any info on the venue or even what country the event was in.

Wish he'd ad a meet and greet and Q&A for us fans going to the LA Whiskey A GoGo show.

Here's the video if you guys missed it. Does anyone think Steven is using again? Notice the lighter in his hands (I thought he quit smoking) and someone pointed out the bottom of the lighter has a black tar on it. I'm not an expert on this friend pointed this out.

 

 

He said he quit smoking the packaged cigarettes which he used to smoke a lot of. He now smokes three or four cigarettes a day where he rolls the tobacco

himself. While that gives his lungs a little break it would be better if he totally got away from tobacco. But using tobacco doesn't equal using dope.

Steven rulz! Fuck the haters. He's the drummer of Guns N Roses and parties with Daltrey, suck on that!

 

Don't know what Steven has to do to please some people. These same people and I could watch the same Popeye cartoon. I'd be saying "wow Popeye knocked out Bluto

and 50 other people after just a little spinach!" They would say "it doesn't count. He ate canned spinach to do that instead of fresh." But to be serious, you can"t blame Roger Daltrey's WiFi

being out of commission on Steven.

Was just watching Steven's Facebook page. He was at a party given by Roger Daltrey, but the WiFi was on the fritz so Steven and his brother Jaime appeared

in a car where they briefly said hello and talked about the upcoming Australia tour. It was also mentioned that Steven will have a great new singer in his band.

Steven Adler just posted on his Facebook page that he got invited to "an epic house party" and would be posting live from the party at 11PM west coast time.

So I'll be watching his Facebook page. He also mentioned he'll be doing a solo tour in New Zealand and Australia.

I believe the signing of the paper was intended to shock him into soberiety, hence why nonlawyer was present. The band didn’t truly intend to fuck him or kick him out of the band. This sounds like Axl idea and a half baked one at that, and the band paid the price for that decision. 

If they intended to shock him I'm sure they did when he found out they threw him out with just a $2000 payment. That always sounded like he was given the bum's rush.

It would be interesting to have a lawyer with knowledge of California law review the suit and explain what, exactly, gave Steven the leverage to force a settlement.  In Florida, I know for a fact that being "out of your mind" on drugs or alcohol cannot be used as legal reasoning.  You would actually have to have a mental illness and be determined to be mentally incompetent to understand the contract.

Were they just worried that a judge/jury would ignore the law because they were unlikable?

A part of the problem is that Steven was called in to sign over his rights without him having a lawyer present. He was given a huge stack of paper and told to sign. Any good attorney would have advised

against signing it. This is similar to cases where a couple is about to get married and one party pulls out a prenuptual agreement and pressures the other person to sign at the last  minute. In a divorce that agreement could be

ruled invalid by a judge because there was no attorney to act in the best interests of the person who signed the prenup.

Sounds like he's talking about playing with Adler's Appetite in Europe, not GNR.

He's going to start to tour with Adler's Appetite beginning with a May 10 show at the Whiskey A GoGo. Classless Act (Slash's son's band) is the opening act. I got my ticket and can't wait. He's not

touring with GnR.

Revisited the Steven Adler Stories site and all of the 19 comments have reappeared. This is very odd. Internet gremlins perhaps?

I just looked at the Steven Adler Stories site and it looks like all the comments have been removed. As of last night there had been 19 comments. A couple were interesting, but

the rest were either test comments or comments from trolls.
