EvH Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 He had 25+ years to practice 12 songs, sure hope he can play them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Great videos, but I think when it comes to the reunion subject most people know Adler can still play. That has never been the issue. In fact, it's pretty impressive when you consider the stroke and drug abuse. The problem when it comes to the reunion is that he has proven time and time again that he is unreliable. That's where Axl, Slash, and Duff would likely have a problem with hiring him for a full tour. He's a liability. It's a shame because he's the right guy for the job and can still play, but all the same I think Matt would get the gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Comstock Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Adler is simply not able to cope with pressure, he's proven that in the past many times. i find it really annoying to read such nonsenseIt's not really nonsense, but in any case Steven will not be the drummer in a reunion scenario because he's proven to be his own worst enemy regarding Guns. He and Axl supposedly made up in 2006, and then Steven talked shit about Axl and co. all the way up to the HoF show, and apparently Slash and Duff aren't too fond of him either.And honestly, he's relapsed too many times for the pressure of a high-profile reunion tour to not be a liability. (I say, suddenly remembering Rio 2011.....)I imagine they'd go with either Frank or Matt, the band will be "professional", Axl would be the only liability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) ...because 'professional'' is a word that automatically springs to mind when one thinks of Guns N' Roses?I cannot believe a band consisting of one burst pancreas, a pisser on airmiles and someone who crashed through a shower cubicle to escape 'the little devils' - not to mention a certifiable fruit loop - do not believe in given a guy a chance! All of their best music was made on junk anyways. Edited October 29, 2015 by DieselDaisy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom-Ass Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Adler is the f'n man.. t would be a damn shame if they didn't invite him to be a part of it.. Each member of that Appetite lineup that joins just brings it to another level than it would be without them. Including Adler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2112 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Brownstone was the shit.Axl, Slash.... he's perfect for the job Brownstone was out of time... count it, he's fast on the intro then he slows down for the main riff... it's quite shaky. Nightrain was great though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way...the only logical conclusion is Frank Ferrer.Same shit with Izzy- like he wouldn't be able to cut it.A half assed guest spot with Axl's hack band is a bit different to a bona fide reunion, I have no doubt that both Adler and Izzy would get their shit together for that....fuck, as pointed out, Axl is just as half assed as any of the others.

All I pointed out is that he has a poor track record so I could see he other guys favouring Matt for the reunion. Can he be reliable enough for a tour? Maybe, but that doesn't mean the guys want to risk it because of said track record. I think it's very telling that Slash and Duff have never worked with him in a band capacity.

jekylhyde Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 If the "original five" reunion were to happen, Slash and Duff would be the most reliable ones.Adler can still play his ass of, but I think he would eventually drop the ball. Reunion would probably be too much for him. Personally, I would love to see Sorum behind the kit, but Ferrer is pretty, if not equally, good too.

So goddamn true it hurts. That was one of their biggest draws was you had no idea what the hell could happen next with them and so you couldn't dare take your eyes off them. I'm personally on board with just having the straight 5 original members and I couldn't give less of a fuck about being some reliable boring ass band I want to be on the edge of my seat but for a good reason.

LikeADog93 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 And he also of course can play "Don't Cry," "Knockin On Heavens Door," and "Back Off Bitch" because those were regularly on the setlist in the early days. I think "Perfect Crime" may have also been written when Steven was still in the band, not totally sure so don't quote me on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
