Popular Post LikeADog93 Posted March 28, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 28, 2016 The fact that Steven has stayed quiet this whole time has been proof to me that he is in. If he was out he would have called into Eddie Trunk and gone on another rant about how Slash and Duff don't think he's "cool" 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birk Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 i agree 100% that he is in. If not he would be blasting the band on social media. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsfan Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I say he's in. It literally comes down to Izzy holding up the entire appetite lineup if true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoking guns Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Jacob is a great source. The Facebook poster is a manager to rock acts as well. These aren't forum junkies. I take this as a legit source. Slash took care of his boy. Now they just need Izzy so we get some AFD time in Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carburetta Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 It's not a bad source, and i'm happy with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LikeADog93 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Hopefully they're working out a deal with Izzy behind the scenes. It would be an absolute shame if 4 out of the 5 are in Vegas and only Izzy is missing. We need the whole original line-up!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carburetta Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 It does raise the question about material if that is the case, can and would Adler play Illusion songs? We might be looking at pre-AFD materal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slash97 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I think Izzy might have something to do with this as well. He probably told Axl he'll only participate if Adler does, too, so IMO Izzy is all but guaranteed to make some appearances on the tour. But I still don't think him and Adler are gonna be permanent touring members. They'll probably play Vegas and maybe Coachella and then only do guest slots during the actual tour.

Some people feel the issue with Izzy is money, So Hopefully the demise of Chris pitman freed up enough cash $$$ to renegotiate and get a deal done with Izzy over the last few weeks. Well find out soon. Literally this Friday at the earliest, next Friday at the latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven has stated many times that he only wants to play on songs that he recorded. So the only UYI song we'll possibly see him play is Civil War Edited March 28, 2016 by LikeADog93 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not rocket science, he's been drumming his whole life. I also thought he played some of UYI live with Guns, but I could be wrong. Either way, he won't butcher the songs like Frank. **He has played Civil War with Guns and they played Don't Cry in the early days too.

I'm quite confident that he could probably play anything that was asked of him. Moving beyond that if you look at some of his material, he is actually a quite good professional drummer.

Ok, I'll give that one a fair enough I'm pretty sure if Adler is involved in some capacity it will not be to play every song at every show. just last week we saw a pic that Frank posted from rehearsals of his drum set with Slash's pick on the floor. At best I'm thinking Adlers capacity is limited either to shows he is going to appear at and/or songs played when he appears. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smoking guns Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Frank is still in the band, so it is just for his stuff. Partial shows, not THE drummer but will drum, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooker Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Now that we assume Adler is in, the arguments will come down to how many songs he should play, this forum will never be in harmony over anything. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
