Popular Post IrishgunnerII 137 Posted January 22 Popular Post Share Posted January 22 (edited) Happy 56th birthday to the legend that is Steven Adler. A huge part of the AFD era guns I think we’d all agree because his drumming while very different to Matt sorum is technique had a grove to it that was perfect. And thankfully through all the stuff he’s gone through it’s great he’s still here and doing okay. Steven Adler probably has more to do with me being a huge GNR fan than any other member past or present without even knowing it. I knew who GNR were but I was looking up famous people who share my birthday and Steven Adler and I have the same birthday(twenty years apart) which lead me to really read up on the band twenty years ago. So, for that weird connection I’m happy that he’s still here because even though of the three times I’ve seen GNR live he’s not been there without him I may never have become a GNR fan. And for all the times I complain about them or whatever I couldn’t imagine not being a GNR fan. And I’m going to listen to some GNR tonight and maybe drink in his honour.

WhazUp 4,066 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Happy Birthday to Steven! Always has and always will be my favorite GNR drummer - seeing him guest at the Dodger Stadium show was one of my GNR highlights seeing the big 3+1 jamming it out on stage 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daedalus 236 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I've been listening a lot of bootlegs from 1986-1988 lately (haven't done that in a while)... he really was a huge part of their sound and attitude. Happy birthday Steve! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IrishgunnerII 137 Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 Great to see some GNR fans still appreciate Steven Adler. I kept my promise of having a token drink and listening to and watching appetite era GNR. I’ve a question though. I was watching rocket queen from the ritz and am I remembering right that it’s the sound guy that axl fucks the mic at at the end of the song ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As Izzy said "Steven was the guy that gave the songs their feel, when he was gone it did not work" while I personally am a fan of many songs on the UYI albums it would have been better with Steve on them as the songs on the UYI albums are to technical and produced and they lost that Rock n Roll/Rolling Stones feel they had on Appetite and Lies 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chester 524 402 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Adler is definitely my favorite GNR drummer. I'd love to get a netflix documentary or show about his life in the 90s. talk about wilderness years. I'd love to know how he took things when the illusions came out. hearing about the GNR riots. even his take on grunge and Kurt Cobain. what was Adler doing through all of that? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tourettes2400 1,600 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) I also thought that it was cool that the official GN’R sites all wished him a happy birthday. Edited January 25 by Tourettes2400 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
