Rolling Stone's Brian Hiatt reports:
Former GUNS N' ROSES members Steven Adler and Matt Sorum are thrilled to be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, but they also expressed remorse over the fact that some of their musical heroes have yet to be honored.
"It's such an honor to be inducted into the Hall Of Fame, but then I found out that KISS isn't in here, and then I found out the other day that RUSH isn't in there," says Adler. "They've got to be inducted. If it wasn't for those bands and a couple other ones, there wouldn't be a Guns N' Roses."Check out the video footage from Eric Helton below:
The original members of Guns N' Roses - Axl Rose, Slash, Izzy Stradlin, Duff McKagan, Steven Adler, Matt Sorum and Dizzy Reed - were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame on April 14th in Cleveland, Ohio.
