Steven Adler on Axl Rose: 'I'm Done With Him'

'I have no desire to know him or work with him or do anything with him again,' says former Guns N' Roses drummer

APRIL 23, 2012

When we spoke to former Guns N' Roses drummer Steven Adler in December he was still hoping that Axl Rose would come to his senses and agree to perform with the group at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. "I know there's love between all five of us," he said. "I know there is. Not just four of us, five of us. We owe it to the fans. The LEAST we can do is give them one great performance."

Adler also says this is the last interview he'll ever give about Axl. "He showed his true colors to the world," the drummer says. "I?m done with him, I?m never mentioning him or talking about him again."

How did the induction ceremony go for you?
It was the greatest way to end that chapter of my life. It couldn?t have gone better. It ended that chapter of my life great, and it?s starting this new chapter of my life, with my new band, even bigger and better. It?s very exciting. It?s fucking exciting. Life is exciting again.

You think the Guns N' Roses chapter is closed?
That?s done. That?s totally out of my system. I was hoping that the five of us would have been there to play and show our respect to the fans, but the three of us who really do care about what our fans think and how much they?ve done for us were there, and we showed our love and respect.  In my thank-you speech, I ended it with the words of the late, great Freddie Mercury. "I?ve taken my bows, my curtain calls, you?ve brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it, and I thank you all." I think that says it. It couldn?t have gone better. I showed my thanks and my love. Slash is really the main person from that band that is really super-duper?they?re all important, but Slash is the most important, because we grew up together, we started the whole thing together, so it was really great ending that chapter with him.

How did it feel playing those songs with Slash and Duff again?
It was great, and Myles Kennedy did a fabulous job?This is the only thing I?m going to say about Axl, and this is the last thing I?m ever going to say, ever, you?re getting it, is I feel blessed and thankful that he was a part of my life for that chapter of my life, but that?s it. That?s it. I have no desire to know him or work with him or do anything with him again. Letting go of that was like a huge weight was lifted off my body. I feel fucking free. Yay!

You and all the fans have wanted that reunion for years. That desire is gone on your part?
Yeah, it?s gone. If it was going to happen, that?s when it was going to happen, and in Axl?s letter, he showed his true colors to the world. After that, that?s it. Like I said, the main person I wanted to end that chapter with, and I?m going to start a new chapter with, was Slash.

What true colors did he show in that letter?
I think it?s disrespect. He's not for the fans, which is everybody in the world. Basically, he told everybody in the world, "Fuck you, I don?t give a shit what you think."

He mentioned you in his first letter. He said, "Steven was at our show at the Hard Rock, later in '06 in Las Vegas, where I invited him to our after-party and was rewarded with his subsequent interviews filled with reunion lies. Lesson learned."

That doesn?t even make any sense. That?s Axl, he doesn?t make any sense, and that?s it, I?m done with him, I?m never mentioning him or talking about him again. That?s it. One last thing ? god bless him.


http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/steven-adler-on-axl-rose-he-showed-his-true-colors-to-the-world-im-done-with-him-20120423



One thing I wanted to add, and this is just my opinion, but from the moment I read Axl's first letter declining the induction, I thought his comments about Steven's reunion lies were in reference to this interview:

http://legacy.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=67085

Q: Did you see the show?

Steven: Yeah?three people in his band all look like Izzy! I told him it sucked. I was kidding. I said, "You know the five of us have to get back together! That's when it will really fucking take off again! Nothing will be bigger. It would be the biggest reunion ever in history."

Q: What did he say?

Steven: You know how he is. He just grinned and giggled a little bit. Everybody in his band came up to me, "You're the greatest fucking drummer! We tell Axl, 'You gotta get the band back together!'" That's what they said to HIM! It was wonderful!

I don't believe the above part for one second as to me it makes no sense that the GN'R guys would tell Axl to effectively put them out of a job.  I didn't believe it back in 2007 when this interview with Steven first came out, and I still don't.  It doesn't make any sense.

So, that's what I would guess Axl is referring to in the first letter in regards to Steven's "reunion lies".

The guys probably just told Steven how they love the classic line-up, but in Steven's head he got it all wrong. Axl should know by now how Steven's rationality works... He doesn't say these things as lies, but as wishful thinking.

That's awfully generous. "I love the classic lineup sounds" sounds nothing like "I think the classic lineup should get back together". That sounds more like putting words in someone's mouth.

Arguing semantics with anything Adler related is futile guys, dude was never the sharpest tool in the shed and has dulled even more with the life he chose to lead.

Not sure how you got that out of that bit.  I see it as they are saying Steven should play again with them(maybe a one off like Duff did), or Axl should do something with Steven on the side(maybe guest vocal).  Maybe be on his record again.   The current members of G n R seem like they really respect the classic line up.  A lot more than some of the negative people here if the truth be told. 

What I got from that quote is that they wanted Axl to play with Steven again.  Not that Steven would replace the current band in any way.
Which is really what a lot of people wanted for the HOF.  Not a full on reunion to tour, and record again.  That obvious has run it's course. They wanted to see the classic line up on stage for one night to celebrate what they did together.  That could have also opened the doors to them coming, and performing with the current line up for one offs.  Like Izzy, and Duff have done already.  This would only help the legacy, and excitement around the current line up.  It would help them.  In no way shape or form was this what you thought it was.

Sorry, just don't see it like you did.

Not sure how you got that out of that bit.  I see it as they are saying Steven should play again with them(maybe a one off like Duff did), or Axl should do something with Steven on the side(maybe guest vocal).  Maybe be on his record again.   The current members of G n R seem like they really respect the classic line up.  A lot more than some of the negative people here if the truth be told. 

What I got from that quote is that they wanted Axl to play with Steven again.  Not that Steven would replace the current band in any way.
Which is really what a lot of people wanted for the HOF.  Not a full on reunion to tour, and record again.  That obvious has run it's course. They wanted to see the classic line up on stage for one night to celebrate what they did together.  That could have also opened the doors to them coming, and performing with the current line up for one offs.  Like Izzy, and Duff have done already.  This would only help the legacy, and excitement around the current line up.  It would help them.  In no way shape or form was this what you thought it was.

Sorry, just don't see it like you did.

No, Steven said the guys told Axl to get the BAND back together, not play with JUST Steven again.  And, this was years before the HOF, so that's irrelevant.  It was also years before what happened with Duff in London, so that's irrelevant, too.

And even if this was just a one-off, it would be a distraction to the current band, and I think they're smart enough to know that.  Furthermore, if you read some of Tommy's quotes on the possibility of a GN'R classic lineup reunion, he knows how unlikely it is (http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/uponsun/2011/12/tommy_stinson.php?page=2).

You're reaching, and with all due respect, in no way, shape or form is this quote what you think it is.  ok

All other points aside, I think the HOF already has distracted from the current GN'R. As much as it can wether Axl showed up or not. Its also not like the press are so keen to even mention the current line-up unless its to have a dig at Axl so I don't think it would of done anything other than get Guns back into mainstream news for one day.

I think if Axl would have shown up he could have won over the media. The strange thing is that Axl always says or acts like does not care what the media or other people say but his actions are quite different. I also believed that he could have used the Hof opportunity to put some closure to the past, put the past behind him and in a way formally introduce Gnr to all the people who still believe Slash is in GnR.

 I mean think about Myles Kennedy, how many people know who this guy is. Say what you will but After his performance he got rave reviews and surprised a lot of people in singing the GnR classics. A lot of the media has talked a lot of shit about Axl and not being able to sing like before. His last performance at the MTV awards was terrible IMHO, and this could have shown everybody he is better than ever. What's done is done, but I think he could have capitalized on this opportunity by winning over the media and reintroduce GnR since he is back in great form.

Just because there was a happy ending in your dreams doesn't mean it was gonna happen that way.

Let it go already.
