ADLER / ex-GUNS N' ROSES drummer Steven Adler recently spoke with Andy Greene at Rolling Stone. An excerpt from the story is available below:

For the past 20 years, a large Guns N' Roses poster advertising the band's first tour of England has been hanging in Steven Adler's living room. "Every time I have to go to the bathroom I have to walk past it," says the former Guns N' Roses drummer. "I'd always see it and say to myself, 'One day we're gonna reunite! We're gonna do it! We're too good of a team not to do this again.'"

When he returned to Los Angeles this past April after Axl Rose's no-show at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, Adler's attitude started to change. "Now I walk past it and I say to myself, 'I'm so glad I was a part of that,'" he says. "'That was a great and exciting time of my life.' It's nice to appreciate it, but I'm no longer angry and pining for a reunion. I'm not angry about it anymore. It's flushed out of my system."

After the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony, Adler voiced tremendous frustration with Axl Rose, calling him an "asshole" and pledged never to talk about him in public again. Now, he says, "I'm not angry with Axl anymore. I love him and I feel blessed that I got to work with him and achieve what I achieved with him. I guess time does heal all wounds."

Adler also regrets labeling the current lineup of Guns N' Roses "scabs."

"I shouldn't have said that," he says. "I've grown up and matured. Holy crap! I've matured in the six months since we last spoke!"
