Ex-Guns N' Roses drummer Steven Adler took Guns singer Axl Rose to task in a new interview with central Pennsylvania's Patriot News, saying that Rose "likes to blame people" for the disintegration of the band. When asked about his time with the group before being kicked out in 1990, Adler said, "Oh, those were great days. It was a great time. It's a shame that Axl put me through all that . . . he did. He likes to blame people, like everything's (ex-Guns guitarist) Slash's fault, that's why we're not going to do a reunion. What did Slash do? He didn't do anything."

Adler added that his memories of his days in Guns were "tarnished for a long time" but that he survived it and is "a better person and stronger person for it."

Rose has lashed out at Slash in several recent interviews, calling him a "cancer" in one and saying in another that "one of . . . us will die before a reunion."

Rose also said that a reunion of the original Guns lineup with Adler on drums would bring "assorted ambulance-chasing attorneys and the nightmare of his mother."

He has also pointed his finger at the band's record label, Interscope, for the less than impressive sales of the new Guns album, Chinese Democracy, although he has done almost nothing to help promote it.

Slash recently told us that Rose himself became more difficult to communicate and work with during the final years of the original Guns lineup: [ Click to listen if you have a backstage pass] "His sort of m.o., as far as the band was concerned, over time got so exaggerated in the rock star sense or whatever and he became such a dictator and this and that and the other, that it was impossible for me to work with him, because I'm not the kind of person that takes orders, you know."

Adler, who recently starred in the VH1 reality series Celebrity Rehab -- and had to go back into rehab following his stint on the show -- is currently on tour with his own band, Adler's Appetite.

He has publicly expressed his hopes for a reunion of the original Guns lineup, while Slash and bassist Duff McKagan have been more reserved about the prospect and Rose has stated that it will never happen.
