All of us are such better players. And when we did Appetite, we were only adults for maybe three or four years. And that’s from our experiences in life, that’s what we came up with. Now we’ve been adults for 30 years, and I’ve been through ups and downs, like an emotional roller coaster. I have a lot to write about, and I know the other guys, if we got together, being adults now and knowing what we know, and [having] been through what we’ve been through, I think we could make an even bigger kickass record.” Adler later said, “It’s Axl’s call on doing a reunion. It’s all up to him. And I love him and I have his back, and I support him in everything he does except for if he doesn’t wanna play for the fans, I can’t support that. ‘Cause it’s all for the fans. If he says it’s not for the money, it’s for the art — it’s for the fans. That’s what it’s for.” “I would love to finish what I started with them. Like Motley Crue, they’re doing their last tour. They started something, and they finished something. And to go out that way, it’s gotta be magic. To look back on [your time in the band] and say, ‘I had a great career. God really blessed me.’ Plus [The Rolling Stones’] Mick Jagger and Keith Richards hated each other. They still hate each other, but they’re still playing music 52 years later, because they know what they’ve got. They have something that’s magical, and the fans love ‘em.” -edited to include content of article. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUNNER PT Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Making a reunion tour is not enough anymore ... let's do a reunion album ... Wasn't Adler sober again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Słash Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I hope this time Steven stays sober, he is a really nice person, I hope Slash, Izzy, Duff and Steven with some good singer make a good album, I know even this wont happen, but well GNR Reunion is out of the question, So I hope at least these 4 guys make an album together, Stevens album Back from the dead with Adler was pretty good, it had some good songs, even Alive and Fading from Adlers Appetite were pretty good, All the best Steven, Stay sober this time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguy Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 This man was part of something so legendary, something historical.It's no wonder that he's still obsessed with his role that piece of history. Most people would be. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooker Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I cringe everytime I hear him say that he wants to finish what he started. I just find that incredibly annoying... Stop living in the past Steven, find peace and enjoy your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people would be.Its hard for him to move on, all of them were like a family and from the streets they became millionaires cause of the amazing music which they put together, they saw the good and the bad times together, I wish Steven was there during the illusions Era, it would have been great, I guess everyone is in the favor of a reunion except for Axl, A few shows together wont do any harm, I guess even Axl can never forget those times, but well his Ego is too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IncitingChaos Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Axl says the ball is not in his court, so someone needs to find that ball and hit it back to Axl. I think Slash has it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know it's true.Well if you're not some kind of clairvoyant then you can't know what is going to happen. Atleast say you think its not going to happen. Im pretty sure what Slash has been doing and saying about Axl in the last time is what he may consider an apologize to Axl. Yes, its far from meaning something, but thats what i think and im not speaking in the name of everybody as you're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bono Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 It's awesome that he's sober but his line of thinking is severely intoxicated. It's possible they could make a great record together but they aren't in any way shape or form going to put out anything that blows AFD away. Also as much as Steven has to draw from in his life when it comes to writting, it's not his writting that anybody wants to hear. Hit the drums sure, writing songs no. Also yeah they may all be better players at this stage but Axl is a much weaker singer. I'd be all for a reunion but Steven lives ina fantasy land if he even remotely believes what he's saying in those quotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stella Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Ah, Steven. I thought he got this out of his system at the RnRHoF and said he wasn't going to bring up reunions anymore??If they did do a reunion, and I think we'll see a cold day in Hell first...I honestly think they'd use Matt Sorum anyway, because he's more reliable/likely to be sober. Every single one of them - Duff, Slash, Izzy, Axl - has pointedly avoided asking Steven to join their bands or working with him on more than a tiny guest spot here and there. I think that says something. And of course if that *did* happen it would probably crush Steven irreparably... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
