Jay Nanda at the San Antonio Metal Music Examiner recently caught up with ADLER'S APPETITE / Ex-GUNS N' ROSES drummer Steven Adler. An excerpt from the interview is available:
Q: Forming Adler's Appetite has allowed you to lead your own band, carry on the GNR legacy and form original songs with other established musicians. Do you feel the band encompasses the best of all worlds right now for you?
Adler: "Well, it's really great being in a band where the guys are all on the same page with each other. We have the three singles, and we play them in between in the set. Every night, there's more and more people singing the words. And a lot of people that don't know the Appetite music keep saying, 'What GNR song is that?' We're doing very powerful Guns N' Roses songs, and then we do those songs, too."
Q: You've been the most outspoken member of Guns N' Roses in favor of a reunion. Will it ever happen?
Adler: "I believe in my heart, as long as the five of us are alive, it is possible to do it. We owe it to the fans. It's been 23 years, and the fans are still supportive of us. We have to do it, not just for us. For me personally, I just want to finish what I started with those goofballs. We've all had wonderful careers because of Appetite For Destruction."

As previously reported, VH1 has once again partnered with Dr. Drew Pinsky for a fifth season of the hit reality series, Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew.
Similar to the first four cycles, the fifth season will follow the real-life experiences of celebrity patients undergoing detoxification and treatment at The Pasadena Recovery Center. This season will follow Michael Lohan (Celebrity Dad), Sean Young (Blade Runner), Dwight 'Doc' Gooden (baseball star), Amy Fisher (Long Island Lolita), Steven Adler (ex-Guns N' Roses), Bai Ling (The Crow), Jessica 'Sugar' Kiper (Survivor), and Jeremy Jackson (Baywatch) on their quest for sobriety.
Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew is set to premiere Sunday, June 26th at 9 PM on VH1.
In the 5th installment of the Celebrity Rehab franchise, Dr. Drew takes viewers behind the closed doors of rehab and inside the often misunderstood treatment process. From heartbreak to hope we follow Dr. Drew and his patients on their difficult and deeply emotional journey to sobriety. An often raw and unflinching look at the many faces of addiction, Dr. Drew shows us that rehab is not a glamorous spa vacation for celebrities as portrayed in the media but a profound life changing process that offers hope for a better life.
Full episodes and extra scenes from Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew will be available at CelebRehab.VH1.com and on VH1 Mobile each week following the show's on-air premiere.
