STEVEN ADLER: SLASH 'Wouldn't Give Up On Me, Like Everybody Else Did'

February 23, 2009

Original GUNS N' ROSES drummer Steven Adler was interviewed by Westwood One at the Staples Center in Los Angeles ahead of this year's Grammy Awards, which was held on February 8. Watch a one-and-a-half-minute excerpt below.

Adler was arrested last month for failing to complete court-ordered community service by the judge's deadline in connection with a July 2008 DUI bust.

ADLER'S APPETITE, the band led by Steven Adler, is scheduled to embark on a full U.S. tour first time ever this winter/spring. The group will perform the iconic GN'R album "Appetite For Destruction" in its entirety along with other classics and some surprises.

ADLER'S APPETITE's current lineup is rounded out by singer Sheldon Tarsha, Alex Grossi (HOOKERS 'N' BLOW, ex-QUIET RIOT) on guitar, Michael Thomas (FASTER PUSSYCAT) on guitar, and Chip Z'nuff (ENUFF Z'NUFF) on bass.

Adler is featured in "Celebrity Rehab Presents Sober House", an eight-episode, one hour series that premiered on January 15 on VH1.

The other members of GUNS N' ROSES band threw Adler out in 1989, saying his drug use was harming his performance. In 1993, the band agreed to pay him $2.3 million to settle Adler's lawsuit claiming a 1990 agreement by which he gave up his interest in the band was read to him and signed without his attorney present.
