Back injuries/surgeries take time to recover from and the posture a drunmer holds is about the worst when it comes to allowing a back problem to heal. Maybe so. But, when you look at his history, Steven isn't the type of guy to parse words or hold back. He's been almost dead silent through this entire thing and I just think that he would have had something to say if he was only going to be used for a one off, surprise gig to 200 people that almost no one was going to be able to see. I could be wrong but you have to admit that his silence is definitely odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see the need to attack him. I think having a drummer who can't play the Appetite stuff puts the tour at risk way more than having a guy who's nailed those songs at every gig no matter how many drugs were in his sistem. To me, his playing is worth the supposed risk, but everyone's entitled to their own opinion. The majority of people interested in this tour are going to be casual fans who remember GNR from back in the day and want to see Axl and Slash play the hits - they're likely not listening to bootlegs leading up to the show or examining the drumming to make sure it's exactly like it was on Appetite. Frank might not play certain songs as well as Adler does but he's reliable. Adler would cause nothing but trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slash97 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 IMO Steven was never gonna be the full-time drummer nor should he be in all honesty. It's just too risky for various reasons. But I definitely agree that he deserves to perform a few songs with the band and I think he will get the chance after he has recovered. There's still no reasonable explanation for why the GnR social media posted those drumsticks that clearly weren't Frank's. I really believe that Adler was supposed to play a couple of tunes at the Troubadour show, but due to his injury that didn't happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
