Former GUNS N' ROSES drummer STEVEN ADLER's fan site has been updated with the following:

"This past Saturday, May 5th, Steven was at the Rainbow Bar & Grill for a major music-related film production. Here's the actual press release."

Hollywood, CA (April 14, 2007) – "44 of the Most Ferocious Drummers" is set to begin shooting a featured television production on May 3rd and 4th in Hollywood California with some of the most legendary drummers ever.

Hosted by former Atlantic Records rock drummer and music radio host Billy McCarthy, 44 of the Most Ferocious Drummers Ever will be a kinetic mix of interviews, rare performance footage, and commentary from legendary drummers along with their esteemed colleagues, family, and friends who know them best, offstage and on.

The show will be produced by Braxton Pope of Ithaka Entertainment.

"I contacted legendary record producer Andy Johns (LED ZEPPELIN, ROLLING STONES) and the godfather of drummer's, Carmine Appice (ROD STEWART, VANILLA FUDGE) and shared with them my vision of this show," said Billy McCarthy, host and producer of "44".

"When two of the industries finest with a combined 250 million albums to their credit immediately and graciously agree to take part - it confirms what I sensed all along - it's about time a program came along and paid due respect to the drummer - after all, without a great drummer, something terrible happens to a band. Nothing. Every drummer and every drum rep is simply ecstatic about this show. Who doesn't love a drummer?"

The producers are also assembling an expert panel comprised of some notable major music magazine editors including Bill Miller, editor-in-chief of Modern Drummer Magazine to lend a small hand in coordinating the order of the most ferocious drummers from 44 to number one.

"This is far from a competition," notes producer Braxton Pope. "Every drummer featured is featured for one reason and one reason only - they are the foundation to the heaviest bands, the hit songs, and even the hit solo artist's they helped define. These are drummers who don't skip through performances - they run the marathon while drumming, combining showmanship and power while locking in the beat. Drummers whose talent and performance transcends their traditional status."
"Steven said that they had a drum kit set up upstairs at the Rainbow where they filmed him playing live. Of course, he was interviewed for the movie as well. Making the event even more special, his old buddy Slash showed up with the wife and kids to show their support!

As for the future, Stevie says he would LOVE to do another Adler's Appetite Tour, maybe even as soon as this summer! Nothing's confirmed, but in the meantime treat yourself to another EXCLUSIVE unreleased 2005 AA track, 'Keep Satisfied', featuring the lineup of Sheldon Tarsha on vocals, Keri Kelli on guitar, and Robbie Crane on bass! Oh, and there's some guy on drums… "
