While rumors of a Guns n Roses reunion are at a fever pitch, one person who’s heard nothing about it is original drummer Steven Adler. And he says it’s because the other members of the band don’t believe that he has finally gotten sober. You may recall his appearances on VH1’s “Celebrity Rehab”. This comes in an interview with Eddie Trunk from VH1 Classic.
A tour of Japan with Duff McKagen’s band Loaded a few years ago left McKagen disappointed and distrustful of McKagen by Adler’s own admission. Though Adler now claims 21 months of sobriety.
Adler says he has yet to hear back after reaching out to Slash for a coffee meeting, but says his big mouth is probably keeping him out of the loop for the time being.
“I don’t think Slash would tell me, because he knows how excited I get and that I would probably say something before I should. I would be the last one to know.” As for what would happen if the other four guys decided to get together without him? “I would probably feel like I would wanna kill myself, but I wouldn’t. I would probably just kill them (laughs).”
