Graham "Gruhamed" Hartmann at Loudwire.com caught up with ex-GUNS N' ROSES drummer Steven Adler on March 29th. Following is an excerpt from the discussion regarding whether the original line-up should reunite for their upcoming Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction:

"If it was up to me, we would have been playing for the fans a long time ago," says Adler. "Unfortunately, I have no say in that. I’m behind it 100 percent … 111 percent! Put it this way; if the five original GN’R guys don’t get up there and play, I’m going up there just on the drum set and playing a couple of songs from Appetite For Destruction. It’s for the fans. To me it’s just a rock ‘n’ roll band, but it’s a rock ‘n’ roll band that I’ve gotten so much love and respect from all over the world."
"He’s my brother. I know he’s up to it," Adler says about Slash and the Rock Hall reunion. "He wants to do it. I want to do it. Just from what I hear, Izzy (Stradlin)'s not gonna show up and Axl will probably want to play with his hack band — his band of hacks. Axl and His Hacks — it shouldn’t even be Guns N’ Roses. He’s just driving that name into the freakin’ ground."

As previously reported, Adler and former G'N'R Duff McKagan will be presenting the Riff Lord award at the Revolver Golden Gods Awards Show.

The fourth annual Revolver Golden Gods Awards Show presented by Epiphone will take place Wednesday, April 11th, at Club Nokia in Downtown Los Angeles. For the first time ever, the event will be broadcast live in its entirety on Xbox LIVE, as well as on the Xbox and Revolver Facebook pages.

The 2012 Revolver Golden Gods Awards Show will feature one-of-a-kind special performances and collaborations that honor both the past, present and future of heavy music. The night’s hard-rocking musical performances will include sets by MARILYN MANSON (in his first US performance in nearly three years); iconic Grammy-winning guitarist SLASH featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators; EVANESCENCE; SIXX:A.M. featuring Nikki Sixx of MÖTLEY CRÜE, James Michael, acclaimed rock producer and songwriter, and DJ Ashba of Guns N’ Roses (in their first performance in almost four years); and 2011 Best New Band Golden God Award winner BLACK VEIL BRIDES, who will perform their only US show of 2012 so far.

Adler, McKagan, Slash, singer Axl Rose and guitarist Izzy Stradlin will all be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame next month in Cleveland, along with later Guns N' Roses members, keyboardist Dizzy Reed and drummer Matt Sorum.

Steven Adler’s new band, simply called ADLER, will be releasing their debut single 'The One That You Hated' April 10th on iTunes.

In addition to Steven, Adler features Lonny Paul (ADLER'S APPETITE) on guitar and Jacob Bunton (LYNAM, MARS ELECTRIC) on vocals/guitar. The group has been recording its debut album in Los Angeles with producers Jeff Pilson (former DOKKEN and current FOREIGNER/TOOTH AND NAIL bassist) and Jay Ruston (ANTHRAX, STEEL PANTHER, ADRENALINE MOB).

Adler's CD will feature guest appearances by ROB ZOMBIE/ex-MARILYN MANSON guitarist John 5 and Steven's former Guns N' Roses bandmate Slash (guitar).
