ADLER/former GUNS N' ROSES drummer Steven Adler, guitarist Lonny Paul, and vocalist/guitarist Jacob Bunton are featured in a new interview with Ultimate-Guitar.com. An excerpt is available below:

UG: Let’s start with how this version of Adler came together? Lonny, you had already played in Adler’s Appetite?

Lonny Paul: "Like you said, I was in the band Adler’s Appetite and we were out this summer on tour and Steven and I spent a lot of time on the bus. I was playing him some of my tunes that I had written in other projects and he said, 'Dude, this is great stuff. Let’s form a band when we get back home.' So as soon as we get back home, yeah, he wanted to start fresh with me. Basically we started looking for members and one night I happened to be out at the Key Club and ran into our friend Jay Ruston."

UG: Did you think about how Adler was going to compared to Guns N’Roses? How you’d be compared to Slash?

Steven Adler: "Dude, dude, dude listen to me. Listen to me! Stop talkin’ about me and Guns N’ Roses and Axl. Guns N’ Roses was a great experience for me and I feel blessed to be a part of it but this is a new band. This is a new singer and a way better singer and a way better character than f-ckin’ Axl. And I got Lonny Paul and Johnny Martin here. Let’s talk about the new band and let’s talk about what we’re doing now."

Jacob Bunton: "Hey Steven, to answer your question though about the comparison and everything, I think when people hear the new music they’ll absolutely see this is an entirely new entity and something completely different. And of course you’re absolutely right, there’s always gonna be those comparisons no matter what these guys do. For instance Slash, no matter who sings for him is gonna get the comparisons and the same thing with Steven—no matter who sings for him or plays guitar there’s gonna be the comparisons."
