STEVEN ADLER Comments On AXL ROSE Hating SLASH In New Interview
April 7, 2012, 12 years ago
Artisan News Service recently conducted an interview with former GUNS N' ROSES drummer Steven Adler. In the interview Adler talks about SLASH’s comment in a recent Rolling Stone article, that Axl Rose hated his guts. Watch the interview below:
Adler, guitarist Slash, bassist Duff McKagan, singer Axl Rose and guitarist Izzy Stradlin, along with later Guns N' Roses members, keyboardist Dizzy Reed and drummer Matt Sorum, will all be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame on April 14th in Cleveland, Ohio.
Relations between Rose and Slash remain, to put it mildly, strained. "He hates my guts," Slash told Rolling Stone recently. "It's over a lot of different stuff; I don't even know. There's just no communication between us. I talk to Duff and Steven, but when it comes to old Guns N' Roses, there really isn't anybody that makes decisions."
Slash told BraveWords.com recently that he questions the validity of the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame when some of the forefathers of the scene like RUSH, KISS, MOTÖRHEAD, JUDAS PRIEST, IRON MAIDEN, CHEAP TRICK, BAD COMPANY, JOURNEY aren't even part of club.
"It seems unusually biased," Slash remarks. "It's hard for me to get excited because it's something almost embarrassing to be called into something when the guys that were toiling around way before you got there - people's records you have - don't get in there."
The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame kicked off the civic celebration and concerts leading up to its April 14th inductions with the unveiling Wednesday of sidewalk "Walk of Fame" plaques honouring the newest inductees. The initial 14 round plaques were unveiled in a windswept ceremony outside the auditorium where the inductions will be held.
